about a year or more ago, when news came out that the first man evolved from black africa, where they said they could trace every man back there...a couple of white reporters , Liz Hayes was one, went there, and then got all excited that they traced her family back to a black man.

I am sorry, but there is no way they will convince me, that my forefathers were black. I have only traced them back to the 1600's and they are all white

I would also like to know, how and when the genes changed so that black became white.
I suggest it is all rubbish, and they are missing something very important.
I am happy for a white gorilla in the far distant past in my history. I have nothing against gorilla's, they have 95% of the same genes we have.
This is not racist, it is similar to cattle and other animals and breeds, whereby it is almost impossible to change the colours in breeds.
