  3. “…all human beings, despite differences in external appearance, are really members of a single entity that’s had a very recent origin in one place. There is a kind of biological brotherhood that’s much more profound than we ever realized” Stephen Jay Gould

  4. We are all Africans at the Y chromosome level and we are really all brothers Peter Underhill

  5. “the Bible is the history of OUR people – the White people of the race that loosely we group under the term Anglo-Saxon” Bertrand Comparet (1901-1983)

  8. “… tho’ it be a little Heterodox, I am persuaded the black and white Race have, ab origine, sprung from different-coloured first Parents” John Atkins (1735)

  9. “If we admit that such great varieties can be produced in the same species as we find to exist in man, it would be easy to maintain the probability that several species of simiae are but varieties of the species Man … And if the argument be still further extended, almost all the animal kingdom might be deduced from one pair, and be considered as one family; than which a more degrading notion certainly cannot be entertained”Charles White (1799)

  10. “I must repeat here an observation which I made in the beginning of this essay … that the denial of the unity of the human species tends to impair, if not entirely destroy, the foundations of duty and morals, and, in a word, of the whole science of human nature. No general principles of conduct, or religion, or even of civil policy could be derived from natures originally and essentially different from one another, and, afterwards, in the perpetual changes of the world, infinitely mixed and compounded … But when the whole human race is known to compose only one species, this confusion and uncertainty is removed, and the science of human nature, in all its relations, becomes susceptible of system. The principles of morals rest on sure and immutable foundations” Samuel Stanhope Smith (1810)

  14. “ with magnanimity and abnegation…  they generously disclaim the honour of this simial relationship, and benevolently bestow it upon poor Quashee” Thomas Verner Moore (1852)

  16. “The time arrived, at length, when, under the law of progressive development, a grade had been reached nearly on a level with that of modern civilized man, in respect to native capacities. Now appeared the founder of the Adamic family. His home was in central Asia” Alexander Winchell
