Norwegian scientists: White Europeans evolved only 5,500 years ago.

I did not see a thread including this news report. I think its worth to mention!

White Europeans could have evolved as recently as 5,500 years ago, according to research which suggests that the early humans who populated Britain and Scandinavia had dark skins for millenniums. It was only when early humans gave up hunter-gathering and switched to farming about 5,500 years ago that white skin began to be favoured, say the researchers.

Whole story

Good stuff Lunica!

Is it not also said that white gods came down from the heavens and gave mankind the knowledge of agriculture?

The previous head of the Human Genome Project also made some very curious statements abut the origins of our species. I'll try and dig it up.

There is a researcher named Loyd Pye who has a very interesting theory
on the anthropology and the human race, which may help clarify this topic

I saw his youtube movies some weeks ago, they are indeed very interesting. The part about the DNA is convincing although not accepted in general (yet).
