Negroes Are Newest

Speaking at, of all places, South Africa's Roodepoort Rotary Club luncheon last week, a white anthropologist told his all-white audience that Negroes are the most advanced type of human. "If you can swallow it, the Negro is the true human," declared Dr. Mervyn David Waldegrave Jeffreys. "Man's common ancestor was dark-skinned . . . You," Jeffreys assured his astonished listeners, "are just bleached specimens of original, dark-skinned primitive man . . . While we [whites] were still dark-skinned, the Negro sprang from our dark ancestor. He is the newest species of man . . ."

To defend his thesis, Anthropologist Jeffreys noted some anthropological facts:

P: Gorillas have very thin lips; whites' lips are thicker; Negro lips are thick.

P: Gorillas and whites have abundant hair emerging straight from their bodies; Negroes have little body hair, and what there is grows obliquely.

P: Whites are thick-skulled, with heavy bones resembling those of early mammals; Negroes have thin skulls, slender bones.

Dr. Jeffreys pointed out that the white man's heart is typically mammalian, with two arteries. Many Negroes have a third large artery supplying the wall of the left ventricle. Better coronary circulation, he feels, explains why Negroes rarely suffer from angina pectoris.

Was the doctor merely pulling the legs of South Africa's Negrophobes? Said he: "I am perfectly serious . . ."
