The first mistake of this website, "negroid" features on skeletal remains. And moreso, this is quoted from a 1964 source. I'm not sure if I have enough time, space, and energy to explain the history of biological anthropology and where it's at now. You should take some courses on the subject because I'll think you find it every interesting and it will aide you in understanding the biological evolution of the human race. But I will tell you that there are no biological races and modern day genetics has shown this. That whole Negroid, Caucosoid, Mongoloid business with started by outright racist white folks who wanted a hierarchy of sub-human races. And you can guess where they put so called Negroid people... at the bottom. Look up Carleton Coon who is the grandaddy of this racist, very eurocentric notion. Most modern day biological anthropologists have dismissed these absurd classifications and with the aide of genetics they are better able to tell which populations are more closely related to eachother. Despite what shows like CSI may tell you, you can't look at an ancient skull and then fit it into modern socially constructed races. You may be able to look at some features which can lead you in the right direction. So if you're purpose is out to dismiss racist, eurocentric notions of the world, quoting a 1964 source that uses the term negroid goes against your goal. The rest of this is very speculative. China like India is really a subcontinent with a very diverse people. Some of the dynasties have been outsiders, mostly Mongols and other central Asians. This website really makes no clear picture of how Africans founded Chinese civlizations. The author can't make up his mind whether or not he knows how old Chinese is pronounced. First he says that the old Chinese pronounciation of a name sounds like an African language (such compelling evidence!), but then he later says that he doesn't know how old Chinese is pronounced. Also the Harappan script no one has yet to figure out, but yet he uses it in his line of evidence. He also can't make up his mind if its African of Indian people who founded the Shang dynasty because his evidence leads him in both directions. The rest of his evidence is on oral tradition which he has interpreted to fit his African trajectory. > >that's what i'm saying. but there has been a concerted effort >to erase and remove black history, confine it to slavery and >discredit any thing else we have done. i don't want to over >compensate. the big hole where we should have been leave the >game wide open to speculation. again, the first people were >african. we're all african... in a way or originally, unless >were created by shapeshifting giant aliens.
The painting I'm referring to is a well known one and was taught to me in an introductory Chinese art history class. I don't know why you keep going back to this alien thing. I can't think of any anthropologists who say we were created by aliens. They all mostly follow the Darwinian school of evolution by natural selection.

I know which reed boat you're talking about and the Egyptians had magnificent technology. But just because someone later was able to use an Egyptian boat to sail across the Atlantic doesn't mean the Egyptians did. That's really a stretch. Also, we have the benefit of a decipherable written language for the ancient Egyptians and they loved to talk about conquering foreign people and hyped up battles. If the Egyptians went to the Americas, why did they not write about it?

Good luck and try to use as much scientific information as possible. Meaning recent genetics studies, analysis of botanical and microbotanical remains, etc.

Again, please take some courses on biological anthropology. I think you'll find them most usefull in understanding the evolution of hominids. ***************************************
