@augustus yeah the Aryan thing is likely somewhat true if our ancestors came from Africa; I get why people try to pretend otherwise, but quite why you need to rewrite history because the Nazis were off their rocker is a little pot-kettle

@skells i really don't know shit about it and think the nazi/evola obsession with Indian mysticism is a little retarded, however they're not even trying when it comes to gatekeeping on it. it's literally the exact same theory, one with a different name. and one of them is fine and the other is debunked pure evil
@augustus @skells Makes me wonder why people even think we all came from Africa in the first place.
@sim @augustus @skells

it's not without merit, it's just the most widely accepted one but there are other theories a bit more recent like MRE that accept african origin but not as recent, and they highlight the mixture with other hominids on each area more

@orekix @augustus @skells Have to admit, that theory is much more fascinating.
@skells @augustus I think history is constantly under attack and has been for ever. Anything we think we know that we haven't directly experienced or know someone who has is taken entirely on trust in a broken records keeping process.
