Now We Know Who to Blame for Nazis, Deep-Fried Mars Bars, Monarchy and Putrid Cheese...

"The face of the first European, reconstructed by forensic artist Richard Neave." - from Telegraph UK.

Using cranial fragments and a jawbone, scientists have reconstructed the face of an individual who lived in modern-day Romania between 34,000 and 36,000 years ago. They don't know if the specimen, a contemporary of Neandertal, is male or female. I find that odd. Even without a pelvis, it's possible for paleoanthropologists to 'sex' archaic homo and hominin remains since there is such a physical difference (sexual dysmorphism) between male and female primates: comparative analysis based on existing and fossil species, no?

Regardless, what is striking to me is the uncanny resemblance of this European forebear to oh, Hip-Hoprepreneur Russell Simmons, or Cicely Tyson, or say, this chap:

This is definitely proof of a God, and a Just one, because at the end of the day the religious Right like the Dominionists, Creationists and assorted "Aryan" racialist what-have-yous, are Black. The "One-Drop" rule has never looked so good. Bravo Mr. God, bravo! You know he and Darwin high-fived over this one. Too bad the Nazis didn't breakdance their way through Europe, things would've turned out a lot different - for one, they would've all been incapacitated with road rash. If the Nuremberg Rally and parade had flavour like a New Orleans funeral, maybe the Führer wouldn't have taken that "tone."

At the end of the day, evolution theory triumphs and it's too bad more people don't pay attention to what science has been saying for decades: we are all out of Africa, no matter what colour we are or other physical differences we possess due to millenia of environmental adaptation. Ukuthula*.
