This is a slideshow from the photos we made in Ethiopia, november 2008. (Some of the photos you can find here: http://www.panoramio.com/user/43065 ). There is a short video too, showing the making of scar tattoes in a Surma village. This slideshow was made for friends and relatives, so it's a little bit personal :)

@gamechaser94 I would like to agree with you, but we ourselves are becoming very harmful to ourselves and the environment. At least people in the West. Very sad

@snowfallzz The way I view Neanderthals is all humans came from Adam and Eve. Even non-religious scientist have concluded that humans came from one set of parents in East Africa. Look up "Where Did the Races Come From" Ken Ham. Race is a social construct created by man to oppressor others, Ham also points out that this human was in Africa but was more Ethiopian in features, (not European or not completely African) in this way it was easy to branch off into the superficial extremes in variation.

@cjfl1962 #2- about 1/3rd black being from Florida Indians who married the Africans who escaped from their suppressors..because of being so many generations removed and mixing..they have black and indian features and straight hair, one with green eyes..it is very beautiful. My step mom (their mom) however has an afro..this proves nothing. All this proves is being mixed. If you look at the Mayan's for instance..they are pure bloods. If your family has green eyes then was there mixing?

@cjfl1962 All I'm saying is I disagree with this scientific approach..like I said.. it all comes back to the skull. The black man they found had absolutly no high ridge bone across the forehead..this eliminates Neanderthals completely from the equation. I'll link the page.. anyway, they say the Neanderthals were isolated in Europe. So he was not a common ancestor of the Neanderthal.. these are 2 completely different creations I believe. I have 3 sisters and one brother by blood who are

@snowfallzz Sense your speaking scientifically, as said before, science has proven that we are 99.5% genetically the same. Straight hair, eye color, eye shape are all superficial and accounts for in the .05% variation. There are African tribes (the Bush people of South Africa) who have that double eye lid, it's not just Asians. Look at interracial people, you can tell they are mixed, some have straight hair, I'm black and I've got people in my family with straight hair and green eyes, so what.
