I'm kicking out segregation, racism, and intolerance. As an archaeologist, I tend to see humanity as one big family, sharing environmental disasters, harsh weather, epidemics, earthquakes, and so on throughout history. Whether you believe in evolution or metaphysical matters, the reality is that our ancestors have been in this world for thousands of generations, acting together, even living within the same community. While some peoples have disappeared, and there are communities about which we know absolutely nothing—not where they lived, not where they came from (especially in the DNA found in Brazil and Argentina, in sites dating from 60,000 to 45,000 BCE, which refutes the idea of bands from Chukchi and Siberia arriving around 15,000 BCE as unique migration in the so-called Clovis Culture)—in short, these sites... Archaeologists found unique DNA from peoples whose origins are unknown, because there is no reference point anywhere else in the world, and being an archaeologist, if the same DNA is found but with an older date, it would prove that our specie began in the American Continent, maybe at some point between Brazil and Argentine, and not in Africa as is currently believed. In short, when you think about all this, and imagine those bands leaving Africa, or wherever, gradually dispersing, because entire families couldn't live in one place since agriculture hadn't been discovered, and the resources obtained from hunting and gathering were limited, so that prompted certain families or bands to move in search of a place to settle. However, when the Ice Age affected much of the world, the bands that were farther away asked for help from others, and that's what made our species, known as H. Sapiens, survive: seeing each other as equals, regardless of whether they had island dwarfism like H. Floresiensis, or even if their appearance was different, as in the case of the Neanderthals, whose genes we now know many of us carry. In short, I would like humanity to understand that we are all brothers and sisters. If you believe in God, then we all have the same Father. And for those who believe in evolution, no one can deny that we all, without exception, share the same DNA chain, varying only in some markers that geneticists call haplogroups, to understand where there was a mutation in some ancestor, something that allowed them to adapt better to their environment, like the Denisovan gene that allows an adaptation to high altitudes without suffering from altitude sickness, to all those who inheritage it, or the blond hair color that appeared between 9,000 and 17,000 years ago with the KITLG gene, and it has been found in two sites: one in Xinjiang, China (11,000 years ago), and the other in Afontova Gora 3 (17,000 years ago). The derived allele rs12821256 was found in Afontova Gora3, which is what determined the blond hair color, even though the population in the area had dark brown eyes and brown skin. Blue eyes, in case anyone is interested, are a derivative of gray eyes and appeared with populations that arrived from North Africa. If anyone is interested, google Cheddar Man or

If someone today has blue eyes and blond hair, it's the result of intermingling between people who migrated from the Yenisei River, passed through China and Siberia (where they acquired the gene for light skin due to insufficient sunlight), and migrated westward during the Mesolithic period. There, they encountered hunter-gatherers who had arrived in Europe via the Levant or Gibraltar and had spread as far as Norway. These hunter-gatherers carried the gene for blue eyes, which are a mutation of gray, dark gray, and light gray eyes, just as green eyes are a mutation of dark brown eyes, as are hazel, amber and honey-colored eyes. In short, when one understands all this, segregation and racism seem senseless. If someone had to describe the first couple, the real Adam and Eve, they would almost certainly have had dark brown eyes, curly black hair, and very dark skin.
