I came across this on a sketchy alt-right blog here:

And by 700,000 years old and Caucasoid race, you mean 160,000–240,000 years old (with an absolute upper limit of 620,000 years, based on magnetic analysis of the cave’s minerals) and not even Homo sapiens of any race, but H. erectus, H. heidelbergensis, or H. neanderthalensis.

And the research was not banned, the license to do research in the cave wasn’t renewed because Greece had a fucking coup from 1967 to 1974. And then the Ministry of Culture was just sitting around with its thumb up its ass till the entire Anthropological Association of Greece sued them to get the license re-issued, in 1997.

Does “the entire anthropological establishment went to bat for this research” sound like that research being silenced, to you?

#things that ain't so #salty amateur anthropologist #do those brow ridges look like h. sapiens to you?#seriously i know white people are less neotenized than asians but they're not THAT much less neotenized #ironically the only h. sapiens skulls i know of that look anything like this…are from africa (namely the very oldest)#present-day africans don't generally have much more brow ridge than anyone else
