Africans, Socrates, and unsettled issues of ancient Greece

Post by PaulMarcW »

The black and red figured population of ancient Greece shown on pottery, pottery sherds and shown on rock paintings predated the migration of those from the Steppes who would increasingly over time be referred to as the Greeks begs the question: Were there two populations one African and one white designated as the Greeks?

The following (unlike those that will yet follow it) doesn't deal with Greece exclusively but only in 4 a, b, c, and d.

Paul, skin color, morphology and culture are not great indicators of race. Do you have genetic evidence to support any of this?

Thank you, Cogs.

Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.
