Guys. This man is explaining history and a theory that existed; not his personal views/opinions. He ends the video explaining why it's wrong and the damage it has caused and why it's important to remember. He is trying to understand the point of view of the theory's author. There is no racism in this video. If you see racism, it seems like the mr Magoo effect.

[@rosyenrica]

yes, he is honing in on a lot scientific racism that was prevalent during the 18th and 19th centuries within the social sciences and medicine which suited the colonialist agenda and the dangers thereof, and which are still relevant today (i.e that the observer is separate and therefore objective on what he or she is observing which many within the social sciences in particular have been trying to challenge by highlighting the need for transparency on the lens/perspective, and reasons for the research), but also how those theories from that time, have lingered on in the present and this is exemplary of this, so yes i agree with you.

As an African, I can't help but feel bemused by the attitudes of these early European travelers. I refuse to concede that they "discovered" anything really, because all these people and places had their own identity and heritage long before their vessels littered our horizons. Further, I am deeply saddened to learn that early Africans accepted and adopted these ideas regarding themselves. However, I am glad that there are scholars out there seeking the truth, for its own sake. Thank you for your work, Mr. Robinson. Love from Kenya.

What "our horizons"? 15:31 Says "Africa is the most diverse place on Earth". Do you understand what this implies? If not, let me elucidate to you: There is no "our" as there is no such thing as a solid "African" person if not for a continent. Do not bring others to your own personal feud, which is unexistent regardless. Otherwise, this would validate the concept of the existence of races, and therefore of unity, and thus, if you are "African" and you think there is such a thing as "our horizons", then the horizons were littered with "their vessels", and their means another group, a cohesive formation, one that is solid, therefore there is a reason for anyone "European" to protest the refugee crisis that's going on and justify expelling them for the sake of countering colonization, which we have seen to cause slavery and to spread misery, and no one would like that again.

@@crqf2010ruler I'm pretty sure race exists. How else can they test the DNA of a skeleton and determine what racial group it belonged to?

In the US Métis are very rare, as only those who could almost pass for White remained, with the rest being forced West as White Colonists wanted their land so they became part of Nations like the Lakota, Dakota, etc. But in Canada, Métis still exist but until recently were treated as second class citizens who were pushed into the Frontier by White People, who also wanted their land...

Where people went (back) into Europe when it was a tundra filled with herds of animals and retreated to different parts of land when the glaciers grew back.

Also, you have to take into consideration the military movement from the west of Europe into those places.

Interesting. As a genealogist I recognize that many times there may be inaccuracies in paper recorded history, some errors made through simple recording mistakes, some through record translation problems, some through background and experience mistakes, and some through malicious intent, but what genetic genealogy is now showing us is that DNA testing and analysis doesn't lie. Perhaps the way to resolve some of these paper historical questions is to focus a bit more on DNA testing and analysis. However, I've tested with five current fairly large DNA testing companies and found that none of them agree with each other 100%, and that is largely because they all test different parts of the DNA string. But, one of the side benefits of most DNA testing lab results are the migration maps that are often provided, and they could perhaps help resolve some of the white tribe questions. But this effort, because of the numbers of potential records involved, might (would) take a lot of human effort and involvement. Perhaps a problem better resolved by computer, eh? But, would the human written computer algorithms be true, open, and honest, or would they be biased? Humans are such complex animals...

Theory explains the phenomenal. Laws describe the cause (force). Descriptions explain nothing. (related: Cartesian Dualism.) Specifically: Phenomena are "moments", describable, but not "caused" by anything: think of an adequate and complete "description" of why, how gravity "works " the way it does. The Newtonian explanation (a modeling of theory) works; it works so well that it has become a mathematical (deductive) "law". But "laws" on this order have nothing to do with inductive reasoning or predictive value. Such "laws" do not contribute to an explanation of what can be reasonably described. They are laws since, while a matter of "best fit" for reality testing (consensus), they are outside the scope of "refutation" -- for the time being, of course. ----Circular argument adds nothing. ...besides, it's only a generalization.

While there’s little doubt that explorers were seeing real physiological differences among different groups, they were interpreting them according to categories of race imagined by Blumenbach and filtered through popular ideas of white ancestry. Whiteness, after all, is not a color but an idea. There is no simple way to determine ancestry according to a person’s pigment. So explorers did what we so often do-size people up by their hair, facial features, language, clothing, and comportment. In short, the discovery of “white tribes” was less an anthropological discovery than a psychological one: a Rorschach test in which Europeans-confronted by figures that seemed ambiguous-made sense of them using deeply held beliefs about race and history.

In a remote part of Paraguay there are people who are blue eyed and blonde. This is because, back in the Thirties, a bunch of idealistic Australians decided to go to South America and create a utopian society. They set up a self-governing commune in the jungle, anticipating the hippie communes of the Seventies, which, like the communes of the Seventies, eventually crumbled from in-fighting and power struggles. The utopian dream failed but the descendants of those idealists have passed their genes on to several generations via intermarriage with Paraguayans. The Out of Africa model of racial dispersion is not a one-way street. For thousands of years different peoples have travelled and set up colonies in distant lands which is why I would have no trouble believing that might be light skinned Arctic peoples that were descended, perhaps, from Vikings. The fallacy lies in assuming that certain characteristics such as light skin, blue eyes and blonde hair will eventually be overcome by the "dominant" genes of dark hair and skin and brown eyes. Genetic traits can persist for hundreds of generations particularly if people continue to marry within their own ethnic group.

[@thebrocialist8300]

The truth is much more complex. Africa is indeed the most diverse continent on the plant and part of the reason is because of its long history of discourse with diverse populations. The differences these Europeans were observing were perhaps reflections of a distorted colonial lease. But they were also partially objective interpretations of physical differences that were rooted in that diverse history. In European countries like Spain this becomes apparent - in observing the more Nordic looking peoples (likely reflecting the Iberia’s history with Celtic settlement, Germanic - e.g. Suebic, Vandalic, and Visigothic - migration/conquest) and more Mediterranean looking people (reflecting Iberia’s history with Greek and Phoenician traders, Rome’s imperial annexation, Punic settlement, and period under Umayyad and Islamic control). To a lesser extent, it’s visible amongst Anglo-Brits, Germans and even Slavs and Scandinavians. There is diversity there reflecting other forms of settlement and migration (much taking place as far back as the Neolithic and Bronze Age). For example the earliest inhabitants of Briton - those who built megalithic structures like Stone Henge - were in fact Neolithic Mediterranean agriculturalists (with features like dark hair, eyes, light skin, short stature and genetics that show stronger parity with modern Iberians and French than modern Britons). Subsequent migration from settlers originating in the Eurasian Steppe replaced as much as 90% of the population - resulting in a modest continuity of the former Mediterranean ancestry. It’s nevertheless still a diverse component that is still anatomically present in Britons. (That’s not including subsequent impacts from Saxons, Norse, or Gallo-Celts). We now understand that our very species is the result of admixture between very evolutionarily distinct archaic hominid groups - e.g. Neanderthals, Denisovans, and our Cro-Magnon ancestors). DNA is making this all very clear. I do appalled this man’s work and the value of his sociological theory, however.

Science continues to change and the moment we think we know something, a new piece of tech gets invented or a hundred years go by and the theory we thought we knew no longer stands up. There are countless examples of this. Why would we "waste time" on what's already known? Because half of the time, we're wrong.

[@TropicalCrumpet]

What would be the goal or reason of Hamitic DNA testing?

[@080gina080]

The only way to truely map human migration using DNA is by testing archeological remains contemporary to the time your looking at. The challenge with that is reliable DNA which usually is greatly deteriorated or you only have some small parts of the remains that you simply can't get a reliable DNA result from. But there has been development in the area of this type of DNA testing. They are now revisiting archeological remains in storage around the world and using a small bone that exist in the inner ear. They've discovered that this small bone actually preserves very well and therefore the DNA. Their findings are already causing some new information that might alter our preconceived assumptions of Polynesian migrations. Very interesting stuff. And possibly in northern Europe a period of East to West migration instead of the west to east. It's an area to watch.

Great talk... But you were wrong when you said the Rwandan batutsis believed they originated outside Africa.

[@simplyirrigation424]

I liked the speech. Just one thing I was wondering about. He spoke about the Hamitic Hypothesis a being a reason for whites to explore and conquer, and I as a white person, can't help but wondering if he was influenced by his modern day morals and social norms. Maybe modern day people would use that reason if they were to explore and conquer, but truthfully I don't see our ancestors needing a excuse to go and explore for more than curiosity, fame, glory and riches. They could, so they did. The nobility had little care for their own lowborn, so why would they have care for people who lived in even worse conditions than their poor.

[@LinuxLuddite]

It just reinforced their ambitions to 'conquer' the world because as they believed their ancestors did the same

[@sbadaro]

On the off chance that the speaker is interested in reading commentary, I note that you cannot approach history and anthropology as "pure sciences" leading to conclusive and clean cut theories about human geneology and evolution. You need to either personally master both the shared "popular" knowledge (folklore) and the language of locale (or community) or to employ the sevice of those of the locale who may voluntarily or inadvertently present that knowledge to you. For example, as a young european-looking but Palestinian / arabic speaking student in Ohio , I recall being teased about being one of the ناس الحلبة "MILK PEOPLE" due to my fair complexion by a Sudanese friend from Madani in central Sudan. Turns out, that is a derogatory term among the tribes of central Sudan (Jaaliyyin الجعليين in this case) used not to describe an individual with fair complexion but to describe a specifically "white" community of circassian (Caucasian) origins settled in the region in Memluk times... You only need to look at current history and the population movements from the Middle East and Central America northwards to figure out that the history of human population is a fluid mass pretty much independent of geography and, over time, race and genetics.

The greatest lie ever told was the invention of race. There is only one race, the human race.

[@kleinjahr]

Interesting idea, though probably incorrect. Humans have been migrating, conquering and trading for most of our existence. Consider Heyerdahl's hypothesis about diffusion. He proved it was possible that primitive man crossed oceans,with Kon Tiki and the Ra expeditions, but he did not prove that it happened. Consider Clovis points, which are remarkably similar to Solutrean points. If I remember correctly some years ago a site was found, in northwest China, where the skeletons had red hair and apparently Celtic or proto-Celtic artifacts. These anomalies all point to the fact that primitive man was much more traveled than previously thought.
