A Brief History of Racism

This is a brief history of racism. 

About 70,000 years ago, people roamed the earth in small groups armed with sharp sticks, hoping to avoid apex predators. In those days, humans came in five or six genuine races (or more). 

The known races were Homo sapiens (us), Neanderthals (Europe), Homo soloensis (on Java), Homo floresiensis (averaging 3.5 feet in height),  Homo denisova (Siberia) and Homo erectus, who survived in the East for 2 million years, a record we are unlikely to match.  

Homo sapiens produced viable children with some of these races. We carry Neanderthal genes to this day.

Once the other human races were extinct, Homo sapiens, needing a new challenge, divided themselves into many imaginary races, based on whatever.
