So where did Neanderthals originate?  You don't know. But they were found in France.  Not in Africa. They would have developed black skin in Africa and white skin in France.  And to say we are all from Africa is just a bunch of "inclusive" BS.  Everybody knows at some point all homo-sapiens DNA can be traced back to "Lucy" But that is hundreds of thousands of years ago.  I am white, not Black, or Red or Brown or Yellow.  That's why I'm called a white man, not a negro, or Indian, or hispanic or Asian. I'm a caucasian, a "white man from Asia".   But if you want to get real, I've lived in Oregon since 1975, and I'm a Duck.
