 The first man was black and it was he who gave birth to other races
GRIMALDI MAN
- This man left Africa and went to Europe 40,000 years ago (This was
during the period of the final glaciation)
The GRIMALDI MAN became a white man after arriving in
Europe. It took 20,000 years for the Grimaldi man to become white and
this was due to climate change. They had to adapt to a different climate
CRO-MAGNON MAN
TWO THEORIES
The Monogenetic Theory states that man was born in one place and became
different as he migrated to other parts of the world. From a common origin.
The Polygenetic Theory states that man was born in Africa, Europe, Asia. In
other words there were several locations in the world where man finds his
origins, and it is that, that explains their differences.
TWO THINGS THAT MADE THE POLYGENETIC THEORY FALL APART
- Nature never strikes twice in its evolution and it doesn’t ever hit the
same place two times. Nature doesn’t create twice the same being.
- There is a region in a Kenya where we find all of the most ancient
evolutionary information. All fossils that have been found outside of
Africa have been found to be much more recent than those found in
Africa.
No continent in the world apart from Africa has the complete series of
fossils indicating the six specimens
- The 3 oldest specimens that represent the beginning of mankind cannot
be found on any continent in the world apart from Africa. This is because
they never left Africa.
The only specimen that appears in America is that of the Homo sapiens.
In Asia we have Homo erectus, the Neanderthal man and Homo sapiens.
In Europe we have the Homo erectus, the Neanderthals and the Homo sapiens.
Some of them migrated through the Suez Canal, or the Isthmus to go into Asia
and Eastern Europe. Some went through the Straits of Gibraltar up into the
north and into Europe
POLYCENTRIC THEORY = To the polycentric theory, it is essential or it makes the
effort to establish a hierarchy of races. And to indicate that some races are
inferior to others.
- If the three races had had different origins, then one could say that they
have different intellectual capacities having had a different intellectual
history.
- But if man had the same origin, then there cannot be no intellectual
hierarchy because all of the races of the world would have had the same
intellectual history.
The Polycentric theory is essential to defending the notion that there are
inequalities between the races. It’s for this reason they’ve had people to
defend so vigorously. But science without question has set it aside.
It’s the monogenetic theory that will support the notion that because our
origins are the same we have intellectual capacities. No race is superior to the
other.
The PILTDOWN MAN
The Piltdown man was created by a British archeologist and he was also a
geologist in 1912 by the name of Charles Dawson.
- This was a fake fossil.
- Charles Dawson dug in the dirt in Sussex in England
-
The Piltdown man had a forehead and eyes of a modern man, but the
mandible and canines are that of a monkey.
From this fabrication grew a theory called the pre-second theory, which was
manufactured to establish that this man was the predecessor of modern man,
and the fact that man was born in Europe and especially in England.
There are American and France anthropologists who opposed this theory and
we know today this theory is false.
The British Prof Oakley working in a British Museum, analyzed the Piltdown
fossil and discovered it was false. This was in the year 1954-1955
- The bad had already been done because for 50yrs this was the theory
that made or created the clash between the polycentric and the
monocentric theories.
