    Here you are talking about Africans telling their story while pushing a theory from a Neanderthal named Darwin? Africans don't have primate DNA but Neanderthals do. Africans may look primitive but go look at the Caucus Mountains where Caucasoids intermingled their DNA with animals like the Rhesus monkey & wolf and you will find the cave monkey Neanderthal they are looking for. Running around making holes in rock & eating raw animals. Africans have always been here. It's Neanderthals who are looking for THEIR missing link because they are a genetic mutation & have no clue where they came from. They HAVE to appropriate culture because they've never had one & don't have any idea how to create one.
