I think using "Mitochrondrinal DNA research", we could come to a conclusion that the first humans were " Mid Brown" in color. Some religious may say " Adam and Eve" then were Black, and the research backs that up because from two mid brown people, we can get the whole array of color that we have on earth. Not from two Whites or two Dark skinned Blacks. Yet that may not be an exact science . But somewhere along the lines, as humans grew and evolved into our races , somebody got racist! I doubt that racism was in our genetic make up. Or was it?
But what you don’t know is that Mitochondria DNA is not a part of the nuclear DNA which determines how your body is made. mDNA does not determine a single physical characteristic of your body. All human mtDNA point to a single female person who lived about 200 000 years ago in East Africa.
Every single human has mtdDNA which directly descended from hers. In other words, this person was everybody’s ancestor. mtDNA has nothing to do with our main DNA, and doesn’t affect how we look. In fact, it doesn’t affect any of our genes.
So what are you talking about when you say "
I think using "Mitochrondrinal DNA research", we could come to a conclusion that the first humans were " Mid Brown" in color."
Also it’s ultimately a human being (Most likely white) who decides if THIS set of mDNA is different enough from THAT set to warrant classification as a new lineage.
So when you see this
I have my doubts as to whether or not the mapping listed above doesn’t have some very euro-centered presumptions built into its data. Note that Europe has the largest selection of mitochondrial groupings. There is no good biological reason for that to occur, but I can think of SEVERAL scientifically-prejudiced reasons.
Also remember that in all probability, we have far more DNA data for Europe than for Africa.
Think about it, racism on a cellular level; lying dormant like a great Trojan horse. We must then assume that all other emotional content , straight or twisted, also lays deep within us. And each individual manifest it however they do. If this be the case, then emotional content in humans derived from Blacks first.
If racism has a molecular probe , like a fingerprint, we than can trace it. We could then ask Is emotion hereditary?
Was racism a DNA virus?
The white race or dividing people only started in the late 1600s. Before that whites were Europeans who spent there time killing one another. The English didn't consider themselves to be of the same group as the Irish, Germans, Italians, or French.
Races started off because whites needed a way to secure their power. The wealthy landowners feared rebellions and poor Europeans might join with African slaves to overthrow them
Heard of Bacon’s Rebellion in the 1600's ? After that rights and privileges were given to poor Europeans to divide them from those slaves with whom they had much in common economically.
They allowed European slaves to be above Africans, and they served on slave patrols, the right to own land, and in some cases allowing them to vote. that was when It was the term “white” came to describe Europeans
And it worked. No slave rebellions from poor whites and they saw themselves as on the same level as rich whites or part of that team.
