"Ancient Greek were black"
I am arguing with a retard on Facebook.
It started because he said ancient Greeks were black or "dark" skinned, I corrected him on this, and his reply was this two following responses:
-"There is also a substantial amount of work from Oxford Professor in linguistic and expert in classical studies Professor Campbell Dunn and several other professors who demonstrate that the ancient Greeks were black Africans who spoke a Niger-Congo language and proves they were black. Dunn has written about 9 books on the subject including the African origins of classical civilization. Oh, and he is white too. Never mind the founders of Aegean civilization like Heinrick Schelimean and Arthur Evans both said the ancient Greeks were indeed black the former confirming that they were indeed "negroid" and the latter agreeing. The list of experts who state this is quite long."
-"The original African migration of hunter-gatherers into Europe took place in the Palaeolithic Period and earlier. About 6000 BC or earlier immigrants started arriving on foot from Asia, and with them came farming and livestock. Then, about 3000 BC, Indo-European languages were introduced, and with them the horse and the wheel. But the speakers of these did not differ genetically from the earlier mixed Asian immigrants. Their change of language was like a change of clothes, so to speak, relatively superficial. The result was the modern genetic constitution of Europe, 35% African, 65% mixed the Mediterranean, or Afro-Asian.
He has bested me in this knowledge, since I don't know anything about ancient immigration or anything related to this subjective, I am only knowledgeable in the periods after the discovery of the new continent."
Anyone who has this knowledge is he correct?.
I seriously don't think so, so can anyone write me a response that I can use to reply to him and put him in his place? Or just information that proves his point false.
It is relevant to point out that this man is a Sub-Saharan African individual, so I could be dealing with some afro centrism nonsense as well.
P.S. Links he provided as "sources" and as "proof".
