Duluth: "Pro-white" rally to protest anti-racism billboards

as a white nationalist and a skinhead stuff like this pushes me harder to fight for my race 

Anti racism is code word for Anti white 

and this billboard only proves this even more 

Well, if it were something that offended blacks there would be some sort of rally or worse. Lets just hope people are heard and there isnt any violence. Freedom of speach is what this is all about, and only ignorant whites wouldnt see there is racism all over, even whites are being bullied from blacks. I was just called white trash for shoulder bumping a black guy in the hall at school. Racism happens, hopefully some day people wont be seen by the color of their skin, but their attitude!

We protest white genocide!

Africa for the Africans,Asia for the Asians,white countries for EVERYBODY!

Everybody says there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries.

The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.

Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to “assimilate,” i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.

What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?

How long would it take anyone to realize I’m not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?

And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldn’t object to this?

But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the white race, Liberals and respectable conservatives agree that I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.

They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white.

Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.

Either you anti-Whites stop pushing white geNOcide, or there is going to be a final race war. when do Whites get to say NO to mass foreign race immigration and assimilation like non-white countries do? When your limbs are torn off? When we're 5% of the world's population? 1%, 0.1%? read the genocide law quick. anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.

And...you guys (below this comment) are here to prove you aren't racist? yeah...interesting attempt. 

Fuck y'all. 

I'm white, I'm not at all wealthy, but I am privileged in my society. I don't have to think about racism daily, because there are no consequences for me, I will not be discriminated against for my complexion. This is not true for my black and brown brothers and sisters on God's green earth. THAT is privilege. 

I pity you reactionary, fascist morons who spend your day drinking in and spitting out hate behind the protection of a screen, there's a world beyond the one that you've created--or had created for you--there are ways out, close this window, shut down your computer, unplug or sever that ethernet cable, break loose from this angry security net, and get out and get some sunlight.

Out of all the countries in the worldthat were “randomly chosen”, to be flooded with millions ofpeople that are not of their race, only white countries wereselected.

A mathematician would find it nearimpossible to calculate the odds this randomness would fall on only8% of the worlds’ population, who happen to be white.

Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.

Everybodysays there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problemwill be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white countryand ONLY into white countries.

TheNetherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, butnobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringingin millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote withthem.

Everybodysays the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY whitecountry and ONLY white countries to “assimilate,” i.e.,intermarry, with all those non-whites.

Whatif I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would besolved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought intoEVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?

Howlong would it take anyone to realize I’m not talking about a RACEproblem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?

Andhow long would it take any sane black man to notice this and whatkind of psycho black man wouldn’t object to this?

Butif I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocideagainst my race, the white race, Liberals and respectableconservatives agree that I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.

Theysay they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white.

Anti-racistis a code word for anti-white.

  Anyone know if Pierson's group will be supplying hoods at their rally, or will participants have to bring their own?

This entire comment section makes me sad for everyone involved. And free speech is one thing, CityPages, but by allowing this garbage to remain posted on your site, you're implicitly hosting a particularly vile brand of hate speech that went out of style over 50 years ago (I'm talking about the type that attempts to argue that blacks are scientifically inferior and therefore not to be treated as humans). There are plenty of hate group websites where this trash can be isolated; you don't need to supply them with a venue here.

WTF - because I am "white" I don't see racism.  Bigotry at its finest.  I am NOT white I am European-american.  Get it right.  I am white as much as everyone black person is wannabe African.

This organization should be protested and I hope those who stand for against this organization get what they want.

Racism will continue to exist as long as those who perpetuate the stereotype of said races continue to exist.  In other words, if you don't want to be called a Nigger......quit acting like one. 

Michelle:  Just out of curiosity.....how old are you?  You don't have to answer, but I am really curious.  

It is hard to see racism when you are a naive white-guilt libtard "progressive" faith-based  do-gooder living sheltered in one of the whitest cities in the USA.

http://www.todaystmj4*com/news/local/126825018.html Wisconsin State Fair Mob Attacks: Witnesses describe mobs, many people claim racially-charged attacks By Jay Sorgi and the WTMJ News Team August 5, 2011

WEST ALLIS - Witnesses tell Newsradio 620 WTMJ and TODAY'S TMJ4 of a mob of young people attacking innocent fair-goers at the end of the opening night of State Fair, with some callers claiming a racially-charged scene. Milwaukee Police confirmed there were assaults outside the fair.

Witnesses' accounts claim everything from dozens to hundreds of young black people beating white people as they left State Fair Thursday night. Authorities have not given official estimates of the number of people involved in the attacks.

"It looked like they were just going after white guys, white people," said Norb Roffers of Wind Lake in an interview with Newsradio 620 WTMJ. He left the State Fair Entrance near the corner of South 84th Street and West Schlinger Avenue in West Allis. "They were attacking everybody for no reason whatsoever."

"It was 100% racial," claimed Eric, an Iraq war veteran from St. Francis who says young people beat on his car.

"I had a black couple on my right side, and these black kids were running in between all the cars, and they were pounding on my doors and trying to open up doors on my car, and they didn't do one thing to this black couple that was in this car next to us. They just kept walking right past their car. They were looking in everybody's windshield as they were running by, seeing who was white and who was black. Guarantee it."

Eric, a war veteran, said that the scene he saw Thursday outside State Fair compares to what he saw in combat.

"That rated right up there with it. When I saw the amount of kids coming down the road, all I kept thinking was, 'There's not enough cops to handle this.' There's no way. It would have taken the National Guard to control the number of kids that were coming off the road. They were knocking people off their motorcycles." Another witness, who asked to remain anonymous, said, "it was like a scene you needed the National Guard to control." "To me, it looked like a scene out of a movie," claimed the anonymous witness. "I have not seen anything like this in my life. It was a huge mob, and it was a fight that maybe lasted one to two minutes." Roffers claimed that as he left the state fair with his wife, crowds near that entrance were large, and someone in that crowd .

"As we got closer to the street, we looked up the road, and we saw a quite a bit of commotion going on and there was a guy laying in the road, and nobody was even laying there. He wasn't even moving. Finally a car pulled up. They stopped right next to the guy, and it looked like someone was going to help him. We were kind of stuck, because we couldn't cross. Traffic was going through. Young black men running around, beating on people, and we were like 'Let's get the heck out of here.' The light turned, and I got attacked from behind. I just got hit in the back of the head real hard. I'm like, 'What the heck is going on here?' I heard my bell ring." Roffers further described what witnesses said happened to the man who was lying in the street.

"People were saying he was on a bike. They tore him off his bike and beat on him. We were walking to the west on Schlinger. I was watching behind me a lot more diligently, making sure there wasn't anybody coming to get us anymore." One person claimed that someone was knocked off a motorcycle.

TODAY'S TMJ4 video shows West Allis police handcuffing at least one person, but they won't say how many people they took into custody. Some witnesses described attacks on the State Fair Grounds as well.

Milwaukee Police said that their officers were sent to State Fair Park for "complaints of battery, fighting and property damage due to a large, unruly crowd." A police sergeant told TODAY'S TMJ4's Melissa McCrady that the number of calls describing injuries are still coming in, so they could not give an accurate number of people who were injured. That sergeant explained that some injuries were serious, and local hospitals were attending to the injured. As of early Friday morning, Milwaukee Police said they had no one in custody.

One woman told police that she was sitting in her car with a window down when some teenagers reached through her window and started attacking her. "I think once we get all the info in it'll be just like that, like what happened in Riverwest," said the police sergeant. West Allis Police ask you to call them at 414-302-8000 if you have any information.

Eric: "I feared for my life"

Eric, who asked Newsradio 620 WTMJ not to use his last name, talked about the incidents that happened as he, his wife and a neighbor left the fair Thursday.

"We exited at the Schlinger and 84th exit, and we walked south about a block, and then went up and got our car, came back up and around down Schlinger. When we made a left hand turn, we were stopped in traffic. I looked toward the bridge, right before you get on the freeway, and all I saw was a road full of black kids, jumping over people's cars, jumping on people's hoods, running over the top of them."

Eric then claimed that he saw hundreds of young black people coming down a sidewalk.

"I saw them grab this white kid who was probably 14 or 15 years old. They just flung him into the road. They just jumped on him and started beating him. They were kicking him. He was on the ground. A girl picked up a construction sign and pushed it over on top of him. They were just running by and kicking him in the face."

Then, Eric talked about trying to get out of the car to help the victim.

"My wife pulled me back in because she didn't want me to get hit. Thankfully, there was surprising a lady that was in the car in front of me that jumped out of the car real quick and went over there to try to put her body around the kid so they couldn't see he was laying there and, obviously, defenseless. Her husband, or whoever was in the car, was screaming at her to get back into the car. She ended up going back into the car. These black kids grabbed this kid off the ground again, and pulled him up over the curb, onto the sidewalk and threw him into the bushes like he was a piece of garbage."

Eric claimed that the victim in that beating was by himself, and that there was a split of white people on one sidewalk and black people on the other. "There was nobody else around to help him. There were no other white people, period, on that side of the street. They were going in the opposite direction because, those people who were coming out of the fair that saw these people coming, they either went back into the fair or took off running south on 84th Street." Eric expressed anger at the State Fair Police for what he considered a lack of response.

"The thing that irritated me, the State Fair Police, the State Police, were down by the Pettit entrance to get in there," said Eric. "There was probably 5 or 6 officers down there. That's where all these kids came from. They came out of the Midway, across the front of the Pettit. They were still filing out of there. The State Fair Police, they knew this was going on. They knew these kids were beating these guys in between that exit and Schlinger at the next gate." "They were stopping traffic, and I said 'What in the hell,' excuse my language, 'what are you guys doing directing traffic when there are 300, 400 black kids up the road beating the hell out of everybody, pushing people off of motorcycles?' I was livid. I could not believe they were directing traffic."

Fair worker: attacks not limited to outside fairgrounds

A witness told WTMJ that as he worked in a kiosk at the State Fair Midway, he saw what he described as "a Riverwest type mob. Easily between 50 - 100 kids all under 18 and all African American. They were running around knocking people over (young kids and adults), looting the Midway games (stealing the prizes), starting fights." The witness, who asked not to be identified, couldn't say for certain if only white people were being attacked.

"It was just complete chaos. There were police on horses, lots of security guards, and EMT's on the scene. They never got control of the area." A State Fair spokeswoman said that there were arrests made involving the incidents on the grounds. He said that as the violence happened, he was "getting ready to grab my cash register and run."

"Not to mention this type of behavior started around 7pm and forced me to close down my stand at 9pm. It scared the paying customers out of the midway." The man said hoping to bring family on Friday, but has decided not to. "I was planning on bringing my two kids to the fair tonight. I won't be. We'll go to the zoo instead."

Woman: Teenagers in mob didn't attend rap concert

One woman who asked not to be identified tells us that contrary to some belief, the young people involved in the mob did not go to the rap concert that night.

"The mob of black teenagers involved in the beatings and damage outside of State Fair last night were not there for the MC Hammer concert," said the woman.

"I attended that concert with three of my friends last night and the crowd was mostly white and adult (as are my friends and I). Any kids there seemed to be with parents."

She described what she saw as she left the fair.

"As we came through the exit we saw a white boy lying in the street, in the fetal position right by the traffic light, and coming towards us was tons and tons and black teens – there had to have been over a hundred – in the middle of 84th Street and on the sidewalk headed south," she said.

"Some who stopped to kick or punch him - or in the case of one girl drop kick him in the head - as they walked past. My friends and I started towards him to help him up and a black girl walked past telling us 'ya’ll gonna get your ***** kicked' repeatedly. As my friend stood in front of the boy trying to get him up one of the teens picked up a traffic cone, hit her in the back of the head and ran off. A car stopped, a white woman got out to try and help. Teens jumped onto the hood of the car and ran over it. She just kept saying 'What is wrong with you!?' " The witness also told us that not every African-American teenager outside the fair grounds acted violent.

"We continued to move towards the parking lot, through even more black teenagers. Thankfully this part of the crowd was not violent."

Roffers: "What in the hell's going on there?" Roffers described his emotions and reactions to the attacks outside the park.

"I turned around and looked, there was this black kid standing there laughing, thinking it's funny. My wife's like, 'Let's get out of here.' It's one of those things, you don't expect it. Your reaction to it is, first of all, quite surprised, then you get so angry, it's like, 'What in the hell's going on there? Why are these guys acting like such hoodlums? What are they picking on anybody for?' We were just like cattle being herded out of the park, and they were picking and choosing who they wanted to beat on." ... "There was this terror going on when you leave the place, you just wonder. Luckily, all the violence that was happening stayed right close by the park entrance. As we got a block away from the park, that's when the cops started showing up." He said the lack of police and security presence will bring about his complaint up the various channels of State Fair and local police. "They should be able to provide safety and traffic control," said Roffers. "I've never worried about it before." He said he would give a written complaint to the State Fair and put in a call to West Allis Police, but that's not all. "I will be contacting the State Fair Park Board and I'm going to chew on their butts a little bit about what happened."

... "They see the yellow security shirts. We have mounted police. We have bike police. We have our patrolling police. We have undercover police. That's all because that's exactly what we want. We want the safety measures intact at every turn."

FROM YOUR OWN "NEWSPAPER":

New 911 police tapes from Wisconsin State Fair released By Mike Mullen Thu., Aug. 11 2011 at 7:49 AM

A huge fresh batch of 911 tapes has been released by the West Allis Police Department, shedding new light on the racially-fraught crime wave that gripped the Wisconsin State Fair last Thursday. Call after call came in to the 911 dispatcher, each sounding similar but adding a new story:

"Hi I'm calling because my kids came from the state fair and they were attacked by a group of black people that opened the car door and started punching them," one woman tells the dispatcher. Then, another caller: "Hi, uhm, there was like 25 black kids that were trying to jump a State Fair park worker," a woman says.

Meanwhile, West Allis police say race did play a factor in 11 incidents they're investigating from that night, including nine assaults, and that it might still charge some of the incidents from that night as "hate crimes," according to Milwaukee radio station WTMJ. Many of the tapes, which were obtained by WTMJ, sound like echoes of each other. VIDEO OF THE VIOLENCE: Cell phone footage WI State Fair wilding [VIDEO]

One caller just after 11:30 said he "just wanted to make sure somebody got to the kid who was getting, just, pummeled on the side of the road."

"The African Americans that were beating the hell out of him pulled him up off the sidewalk into the bush," he says. And then: "And the security guard, the African American lady that was working that gate, her ass needs to be fired, because she didn't do a damn thing. She just stood there and watched." In another tape, a man who sounds drunk or dizzy tells the dispatcher he was jumped and beaten, and eventually turns his rage on her. "Yeah, there's a group of African Americans that are walking down 75th Street, going north, that thought it was okay to have a law abiding citizen walking by... and they just jump me, what?" "Do you need an ambulance, sir?" "No I don't need an ambulance. I'm bleeding but I don't give a shit." "Do you want an ambulance?" "No I don't want a fucking ambulance. Send some squads, arrest these people." "We have squads all over the area you're going to have to walk up to an officer and find one." "Walk up to an officer? I don't see an officer anywhere what are you talking about?" "We have about 20 squads all around the general area."

"I mean this is what I gotta go through, I pay taxes and I'm walking down the fucking street -- really? -- and this is what the fuck happens, some stupid fucking black motherfuckers, they think they can just punch people, really?" Wisconsin State Fair police arrested 23 people during the violence, all but one of them between the ages of 15 and 20, and West Allis Police arrested another seven. Police reports from the incident are expected to come out later today. http://blogs.citypages*com/blotter/2011/08/_911_police_tapes_wisconsin_state_fair_race_riot_hate_charges.php

Hey, naive white-guilt "progressive" libtards!  Let's have an HONEST conversation about race!!!!  This will probably be censored, because it contains too many SCIENTIFIC FACTS and everyone knows SCIENTIFIC FACTS are the most damaging thing to white-guilt libtard quasi-religious faith-based ideology.

It is funny how all you liberal "progressives" who supposedly believe in evolution suddenly turn into faith-based religious freak Creationists when it comes to the subject of race and "equality".

Serum testosterone levels in healthy young black and white men.Ross R, Bernstein L, Judd H, Hanisch R, Pike M, Henderson B.AbstractBlacks in the United States have the highest prostate cancer rate in the world and nearly twice that of whites in the United States. The 2:1 black-to-white ratio in prostate cancer rates is already apparent at age 45 years, the age at which the earliest prostate cancer cases occur. This finding suggests that the factor(s) responsible for the difference in rates occurs, or first occurs, early in life. Testosterone has been hypothesized to play a role in the etiology of prostate cancer, because testosterone and its metabolite, dihydrotestosterone, are the principal trophic hormones that regulate growth and function of epithelial prostate tissue. This report gives the results of assays of circulating steroid hormone levels in white and black college students in Los Angeles, CA. Mean testosterone levels in blacks were 19% higher than in whites, and free testosterone levels were 21% higher. Both these differences were statistically significant. Adjustment by analysis of covariance for time of sampling, age, weight, alcohol use, cigarette smoking, and use of prescription drugs somewhat reduced the differences. After these adjustments were made, blacks had a 15% higher testosterone level and a 13% higher free testosterone level. A 15% difference in circulating testosterone levels could readily explain a twofold difference in prostate cancer risk.

Testosterone and ruthless homicide

James M. Dabbs, Jr., Jasmin K. Riadb and Susan E. ChanceaDepartment of Psychology, Georgia State University, Georgia, Atlanta, GA30303, USA9 July 2001.

AbstractPrior studies have found higher levels of testosterone among persons who commit violent crimes than among those who commit nonviolent crimes. The present study examined data from 230 male prison inmates to determine how testosterone levels might relate specifically to the way in which inmates committed their crimes. Characteristics of inmate behavior associated with murder, manslaughter, robbery, assault, rape, and child molestation were scored from parole board investigative reports, and inmate testosterone levels were assayed from saliva samples. Among inmates who committed homicide, those high in testosterone more often knew their victims and planned their crimes ahead of time.------

http://bbh.hhdev.psu*edu/labs/behavioral endo lab/penn_state_researchers_study_lin.htm

"Humans may have evolved with testosterone because the hormone is useful in conflict situations. Booth has shown that levels of it rise in chess players, wrestlers and tennis players before a match. Studies have shown that women with high levels of testosterone might choose male-dominated occupations more than other women.

In men, high levels of testosterone are also associated with better health. High-T men are less likely to be obese, for example, and generally have a stronger cardiovascular system.But in men, who produce about seven times more testosterone than women, too much of the hormone can cause antisocial and risky behavior. High-T men are more likely to commit a crime, according to past studies.

“Men with high levels of testosterone are more likely to be unfaithful, abusive and less close in relationships with their wives,” Booth said. They’re more likely to divorce. Some high-T men aren’t good marriage partners.”

Fathers with high levels of testosterone often don’t have good relationships with their kids, Booth said. But there are many men with high levels of testosterone who do well.My three-year study is the biggest and most comprehensive of its kind, say researchers Alan Booth, a professor of sociology and human development."

Testosterone, crime, and misbehavior among 692 male prison inmates

James M. Dabbs, Jr, Timothy S. Carrb, Robert L. Fradyc and Jasmin K.

Abstract

Testosterone, crime, and prison behavior were examined among 692 adult male prison inmates. Testosterone was measured from saliva samples, and behavior was coded from prison system records. Inmates who had committed personal crimes of sex and violence had higher testosterone levels than inmates who had committed property crimes of burglary, theft, and drugs. Inmates with higher testosterone levels also violated more rules in prison, especially rules involving overt confrontation. The findings indicate differences between low and high testosterone individuals in the amount and pattern of their misbehavior.

Regarding the "warrior gene":

Monoamine oxidase, addiction, and the “warrior” gene hypothesis

Rod Lea, Geoffrey Chambers

"The monoamine oxidase gene and behavioural traits

Monoamine oxidases (MAOs) are enzymes responsible for breaking down the neurotransmitters—serotonin, dopamine, and adrenalin—and are therefore capable of affecting mood. Indeed, MAO inhibitors (e.g. moclobemide) can effectively treat symptoms of depression and tobacco dependence. The activity of MAO enzymes can vary among individuals and is influenced by inherited genetic factors. Understanding the genetic variability of MAO activity and the linkage to drug response traits should assist in the design of more effective treatment options for certain clinical disorders.The MAO genes are located on the X chromosome, thus males inherit only a single maternal copy. In 1997, Sabol et al reported that the MAO-A subtype contains a 30bp repeat polymorphism (MAO-A30bp-rpt) that is associated with transcriptional regulation (i.e. gene function). Hundreds of epidemiological studies of the MAO-A30bp-rpt variant have since been conducted and associations reported with psychiatric disorders including depression, anxiety, and addiction (e.g. tobacco dependence and alcoholism). Studies have also implicated the 3-repeat allele of MAO-A30bp-rpt, postulated to correspond to lower MAO-A activity and higher dopamine levels, with risk-taking and aggressive behaviour traits. For the latter reason, Gibbons (2004) dubbed it a “warrior” gene."...

Ethnic differences in MAO-A allele frequenciesMAO-A30bp-rpt allele frequencies appear to vary substantially between different worldwide ethnic groups (Table 1)Table 1 [excerpt]. Estimates of MAO-A30bp-rpt (3-repeat) allele frequencies among ethnic groupsEthnic Group 3-repeat Allele frequency (%)Caucasian (males) 34%African (male + female) 59%

Boys with ‘warrior gene’ likely to join gangs

Aggressive trait also linked to violence, weapon use, new study findsBoys who have a so-called "warrior gene" are more likely to join gangs and also more likely to be among the most violent members and to use weapons, a new study finds."While gangs typically have been regarded as a sociological phenomenon, our investigation shows that variants of a specific MAOA gene, known as a 'low-activity 3-repeat allele,' play a significant role," said biosocial criminologist Kevin M. Beaver of Florida State University.In 2006, the controversial warrior gene was implicated in the violence of the indigenous Maori people in New Zealand, a claim that Maori leaders dismissed.But it's no surprise that genes would be involved in aggression. Aggression is a primal emotion like many others, experts say, and like cooperation, it is part of human nature, something that's passed down genetically. And almost all mammals are aggressive in some way or another, said Craig Kennedy, professor of special education and pediatrics at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee, whose research last year suggested that humans crave violence just like they do sex, food or drugs."Previous research has linked low-activity MAOA variants to a wide range of antisocial, even violent, behavior, but our study confirms that these variants can predict gang membership," says Beaver, the Florida State researcher. "Moreover, we found that variants of this gene could distinguish gang members who were markedly more likely to behave violently and use weapons from members who were less likely to do either."Violent traits are hereditaryThe MAOA gene affects levels of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin that are related to mood and behavior, and those variants that are related to violence are hereditary, according to a statement from the university.The new study examined DNA data and lifestyle information drawn from more than 2,500 respondents to the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. Beaver and colleagues from Florida State, Iowa State and Saint Louis universities will detail their findings in a forthcoming issue of the journal Comprehensive Psychiatry.A separate study at Brown University from earlier this year found that individuals with the warrior gene display higher levels of aggression in response to provocation.Over networked computers, 78 test subjects were asked to cause physical pain to an opponent they believed had taken money from them by administering varying amounts of hot sauce. While the results were not dramatic, low-activity MAOA subjects displayed slightly higher levels of aggression overall, the researchers said.The Brown University results, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, support previous research suggesting that MAOA influences aggressive behavior, the scientists said.------

Neanderthal Genome Yields Insights Into Human Evolution and Evidence of Interbreeding With Modern Humans

ScienceDaily (May 6, 2010)After extracting ancient DNA from the 40,000-year-old bones of Neanderthals, scientists have obtained a draft sequence of the Neanderthal genome, yielding important new insights into the evolution of modern humans.Among the findings, published in the May 7 issue of Science, is evidence that shortly after early modern humans migrated out of Africa, some of them interbred with Neanderthals, leaving bits of Neanderthal DNA sequences scattered through the genomes of present-day non-Africans....The researchers identified a catalog of genetic features unique to modern humans by comparing the Neanderthal, human, and chimpanzee genomes. Genes involved in cognitive development, skull structure, energy metabolism, and skin morphology and physiology are among those highlighted in the study as likely to have undergone important changes in recent human evolution.
