Good (news) Friday: God’s intelligent design for humankind originated with black Selam…

Anthropologists have unveiled yet more evidence that white (in fact all non-black) people are just pea-brained blacks who continually left the confines of their African tribes – beginning around 4 millions years ago – for hunting and gathering outings, got lost and ended up on the other continents of the world. But, once there, the features of these disoriented and lost souls of Africa evolved over time – by natural selection – as they and their offspring adapted to prevailing climate and other conditions of their new environment.

[That’s my theory of evolution and I’m sticking to it!]

Last week, researchers presented “Selam”: the fossilized remains of a 3-year-old female of the same species (Australopithecus aferensis) the famous “Lucy” belonged to, but who lived almost 100,000 years before Lucy, or 3.3 million years ago.

Evidently, Selam was discovered in 2000 in the same region of Africa (Ethiopia) where Lucy was discovered in 1974. But since I’m no anthropologist, I shall refrain from expounding on the significance of this find except to assert that it should put to rest revisionist attempts by Egyptologists and Eurocentric researchers to place human origins in the Middle East (and even North America).

Indeed, I readily concede historian Niall Ferguson’s claim that much of what passes for civilization today “originated with the Greek, was planted across Europe by the Romans…and crossed to the New World with Columbus”. But the good news is that – try as they might to whitewash Africa’s birthright – the evidence continues to affirm the Dark Continent as the place where we all originated!
