Paleontologists trace the root stock of Caucasoids and Orientals to a group that crossed the rudimentary red Sea about 70,000 years ago. They stayed in the area of Yemen for about 10000 years, then migrated out of the area in seperate streams, one group moving north, eventually becoming Caucasoids, the other group moved east. Some of the eastern group travelled along the coast line, found its way to Australia and became the Aborigines. The rest of the eastward group became Orientals.
The people remaining in Africa became Negroids. The Negroid race has a greater genetic diversity than Orientals or Caucasoids precisely because it comes from an older stock. |
Close, but too simplified. The "Australian" lineage (which I will cal the Coastal Lineage) and the Inland Lineage seperated before they left Africa. The Interior lineage moved into the ME and then into Iran. In Iran it split into 3 groups, one that went into India and mixed with the coastals already there; one went into northern China, possibly through a pass in the Tien Shan Mts.; and the third went north into Central Asia. The Cental asians then split into 2 groups, one became the Europeans, the other went into Siberia, ansd later the Americas. In SE Asia, the coastals split, one population going into indonesia, and then Australia, one went north into East and Northeast Asia, mixing with the 2 lineages from central asia (note that modern Indonesians are "mongoloid" because of an expansion of rice-growing people in S. China much later). One population of the mixed siberian-coastal group also went to the Americas, probably associated with the arrival of the Na-dene language family, which includes Navajo, among others, (this is some time some time after the first migration), giving a "mongoloid" apearance to modern Native Americans (there is an early Paleo-Indian skeleton, called Kenewick Man, that looks "caucasian" and probably predates the 2nd migration).
In Africa, the modern population distrabution is a result of the spread of Bantu-speaking peoples moving in to the Congo Basin (formely populated mostly by Pygmies) and Southern and Eastern Africa (formerly populated mostly by Bushman-like people).

Of course, one can always argue that since Negroids, Caucasoids, and Orientals still belong to the same species it's nonsense to say that one evolved from the other.
You could also point out that Adam couldn't have been all three races at once, so how does one explain the existence of three races?

Clearly you just need a Truth for Youth Bible. Don't give up! Salvation is possible!

If that guy was listening to Spice Girls he can't be saved even with our magnificent lord oh Jesus Christ.
Why does stupidity and christianity seem to go hand in hand?

"And man shall not lie down with man as he does with woman, it is abomination" in a collum devoted to various abominations. There really is no debate on what the text says, now what we should do about what it says, is different.

I did not say that lol. You don't see me saying we should put homosexuals to death, do you?
Most rabis I know will VERY hesitantly say it is a sin and would much rather not talk about the subject, at all. I've never, in my life seen a Rabi speak out against homosexuallity. It's on the books but we'd rather just forget about it.... it IS a problem we can forget about.
Regardless of the interpretation however the rule IS in the books.
What is said is VERY clear, there really is no legitimate way to interpret it for anything besides its obvious meaning.
