However, there is still racial separation under various guises today, and each race is responsible for perpetuating it. The "guilt" does not fall on just one race or culture.

I will probably have a few cannon balls lobbed at me for repeating something my mother said to me in the early-1960s or before when we were going through the racial turmoils of the 20th century. "Laurie, if God had intended for all men of all races to live together in harmony, he would not have placed them on separate continents to begin with."

Thanks, Laurie. Sorry, cannot hold back that evolution had placed all men in Africa in the beginning...

That's assuming you trust Darwin's theory. To a Southern lady, born in 1914, and raised as a staunch Episcopalian, my mother placed more faith in the Bible than in Charles Darwin...

I've studied biology...Today's Homo sapiens has developed from Homo erectus in Africa. The other line of Homo erectus, Homo neanderthalienses, that developed in Europe, has ceased (extincted?) 30,000 years ago.

This is what I've studied, and the findings and conclusions make some sense to me. If you ask me what I believe - I don't know. I want to believe that there's a deeper sense or God (and hopefully a good one) beyond everything and everyone than just evolution. I try to do. And the German translation of Shakespeare's Hamlet quote reads: "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than your teachers have taught you."
On some days it's easier than on others however.
