Science Shows Racism a Human Invention

Canadian Professor Tours Western Canada Promoting Humanity’s Shared African Ancestry

 

Toronto, Ontario -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/10/2010 -- “Regardless of who you are or where you came from—despite ethnic differences, political distinctions, and racial tensions—we are all African,” writes Christopher diCarlo, whose lecture tour We Are All
African, sponsored by Centre for Inquiry (CFI), will hit Calgary, Kelowna and Vancouver between August 11-13.

CFI Advisory Fellow Christopher diCarlo will examine evidence that has allowed anthropologists to trace the lineage of human descent. He will draw the conclusion that despite the widespread tendency of certain groups to segregate and regard themselves as ‘chosen people’, evidence of our common evolutionary descent should undermine these social barriers.

diCarlo is past Visiting Research Scholar at Harvard University and the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology.
