   Wow. I've long argued that Out of Africa purity is based on   
   racism but never quite so comprehensible. I'll have to steal   
   it and use it when you're not around...   
      
   It always struck me that the more dogmatically they defend   
   Out of Africa purity, the more power they are attributing to   
   opposing viewpoints. Why else invest so much into suppressing   
   other models than you view them as some kind of "Threat?" It   
   has a lot to do with my referring to paleo anthropology as a   
   social program. They seem entirely convinced that Africans are   
   inferior and if real science is ever performed that, I dunno,   
   we're going to nuke Africa?  I don't view humans as "Superior"   
   or "Inferior." Nature selected us all for a reason. We're all   
   just trying to work out the path nature took. That's all.   
      
   P.S.  If Out of Asia or Melanesia or Europe is racist, how is   
   Out of Africa NOT?
