rac·ism n.
1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race.

So why do you thing that any theory of origins is racist?

:confused:

Especially neo-Darwinist theories which promulgate as "facts," racial beliefs that so-called "primitive" African people originated from non-human monkey and ape ancestors.

Anyone who thinks other animals are not equal to humans is racist.
That's as unique a definition of racist I e'er did hear tell of. Perhaps you are an animal rights legal theorist who advocates equal opportunity for all of God's creatures.

Would that necessitate neo-Darwinist abstention from great slabs of prime roast beef being heaped on their plates in their favorite steak-houses?

Test complete.

Mods, you can close this thread now.
Why? No one has called anyone else on the forum a racist. Don't you enjoy discussing and debating neo-Darwinist theories of human evolution anymore?

Uh, oh. Thread closed.
ahh, baseless assertions add so much to the conversation
No. Baseless ad hominem remarks about other posters add nothing to the conversation and only succeed in getting the thread closed, which was possibly the intent and purpose of the thread in the first place.

You are not a neo-Darwinist race theorist since you don't even know how so-called neo-Darwinist "primitive" Africans could have possibly originated from monkey and ape ancestors once upon a time in Africa.

John, Did you ever hear the phrase one trick pony?
