THE RACIST NEANDERTHAL FACELIFT

Neil deGrasse Tyson, author and astrophysicist, discusses the racial biases propagated by the early scientific community. They claimed that Europeans were at the top of the evolutionary hierarchy, while Neanderthals, whom they considered less evolved, were likened to Black people and other races they deemed closer to the apes. However, when it was discovered that Europeans have 1-3% Neanderthal DNA and Africans have none, the scientific community changed its tune. Have a watch and let us know your thoughts on this.
