    So the 'race' that's considered to be African by most (dark-skinned phenotype) is only represented once in this video (2:32)? Well, that's a bit shit imo.

    @ThePseudoSapien the colour-tinting makes dark vs light skin hard to identify (deliberately), but you can see people with recent African ancestors at 0:20, 1:10, 2:18, and 2:30. Also as @pallenm says, the point is supposed to be non-obvious.

    No matter how much proof you show to people they will never accept the fact they are African... I honestly believe there would be so much peace if people were to acknowledge this!

    Anyone whos being a pedantic git and saying 'an' african, Listen to the live segment on his album Rap Guide to Evolution he explains why he opted for the bad grammar version.
