After almost 10 years of study in the field of 20th Century history. I taught a course for 2 years at a respected university, I was rated joint top, along with another colleague, in both years for my teaching and ability feedback from the students. Before the third year, I was advised that I/we need to make the classes more black (Africa descent) centric in content, despite the course being well-represented on this topic. I stated that I/we would have to 'construct' narratives to do so, as the topic was exhausted of research. They replied, in the implicit way that academics are trained, that 'it is what is done for courses to remain viable.' I left the university and teaching within 6 months. If we can't tell the truth, we shouldn't be teaching period. It's all a money-making machine, especially the arts.
I know it' was very difficult but I wish more would stay in the system, trying to fight this evil from inside. I can't blame you for walking away at all but at the same time it seems this is how the ideological have taken over the education system. Methodical and deliberate demoralisation.

Had a discussion with a dude at a museum yesterday and apparently America’s first president was black, Mozart was black, King Henry the VIII was black, and ALL ancient Egyptians were black. Oh, and the original Jews were all black. So when I asked why the Ancient Egyptians, who were apparently black, enslave the Jews, who were also black, he stated “Man, that talk is just your own privilege showing!” So apparently logical thinking is privilege allegedly.
"Muh people were basically irrelevant to world history until African warlords sold us into slavery to Arab and Jewish traders who sold them around the world" just doesn't have the same ring to it as "we wuz kangz" I guess. Hard to admit such things, so they just make shit up.
Blackwashing the indigenous people's heritage and history is SO WRONG and disrespectful. As someone who is a mix of 7 ethnicities, this is very important for me. Europeans have their own heritage, culture, and history, much different from the African continent.
That's a common strategy by the establishment. There's a blue plaque on a house in Thames Ditton celebrating an actual black man who merely sold coal from there in Victorian times. The 'first black train driver' memorial at Waterloo is another example of an unwarranted honour. There is rarely pandering to other ethnicities such as Chinese or Indians, notice.

We are living in a post truth world, were facts are denied & labelled bigotry. I watched a woke US professor of Anthropology, being asked if you could tell the difference between a male & female skeleton. He replied no, denying there were any physical differences between the two. The audience howled with laughter, he got upset & doubled down, stating he had 150 years of evidence to back him up.
I mean he’s kind of right how can you tell the difference between a male and a female skeleton? Unless if, what are you are a fucking anthropologist or something?
Probably the audience was medical students/ nurses etc.or just knew basic anatomy On a trip to my GP a nurse pointed out to me on a training skeleton that it was female. I asked how she could tell and she pointed out that the pelvis actually splits at the back, it's only connected by cartilage there, on a man the two halves of the pelvis are fused. This is for childbirth reasons. Also it's wider and the 'hole' in the pelvis where the baby comes out is much bigger than a man's. i.e you can put your fist through a female's quite easy not with a male's.
Sadly facts are given more credibility than actual truths....a fact is merely a "commonly agreed upon opinion" and can change with politics, whereas truth is universal and constant no matter who agrees or disagrees

Well, in a time in which main stream academia denies that there is such a thing as factual truth, but claims that everyone has their own truth, I kind of doubt she cares. It's 'her truth' and anyone who challenges her, is a bigot and whatever ist-word suits her best for the occasion. Could be racist, because we don't unquestioningly accept that these people were black, or mysogenist, because we don't just take her word as a woman for it, or whatever. You know how it works, you want to have an educated discussion about a scientific topic and end up being personally attacked just because you bring up reality-based facts that don't suit their narrative. 🤷♀️ These days, whenever I'm called an whatever-ist, I just say 'Yes, I am. So, can we now discuss the topic at hand?' - Works a treat, because they are simply not prepared for it, and fully expected you to defend yourself against their unfounded accusations.

Great clip! Using 'North African' as a synonym for 'Sub-Saharan' is highly inaccurate or disingenuous. ESPECIALLY before the Muslim era and the slave trade, the Berbers were pretty light-skinned/-haired. The isolated Guanches in the Canaries demonstrate that quite well. Even today, the most isolated Berbers, like the Kabyles, still exhibit red hair and green eyes fairly often.

We need to address this at a government level, it is unacceptable that children are being taught falsehoods as facts. Why arent they releasing the DNA results? I think we know, don't we.
Reminds of the Cold War (yes I lived then) and often when the Nobel Prizes were announced for research/inventions the Soviet Union inevitably claimed they had invented/conceived those inventions of the time.
Philippa described as brown-skinned wasn't in regards to her as a baby but as a young child; it likely meant her skin was weather-beaten as a result of going outdoors. The description of her nose seems to imply she was 'pug nosed' and its a pretty common trait among Europeans as well. Since not everyone has an upturned nose.
Nobles in Europe, especially women, frequently stayed indoors for much of their lives. Whiteness of complexion was valued at various times, such as the trend for bone-white sin in Tudor times when women risked their health painting their faces with arsenic-bearing bleaching pastes. A child that tanned easily, then as now, might go very brown (just ask Lineker!) but to claim that child as another race is ludicrous.
Look where we are at, having to debunk these myths. I'm very confused as a 60 year old white British male I had it drummed into me that racism was bad and we should be accepting of everyone. I was almost told to be colour blind. Now skin colour I am told is a very important subject and black people seem to contradict what I was told. I have to say I am not really bothered about this but just would like to understand the sudden emphasis on blackness and race and the denigration of whiteness and British culture. 🤔
You were told to be color blind so you would lower your guard and allow colored people to take over your country. You were told racism is bad because if you were loyal to your race, colored people never would have been able to take over your country. Surprise surprise, the people who told you not to see color or race.... care a LOT about their own color and race. You fell for the lies and your descendants will pay the price because you were more concerned with being seen as good than you were with preserving your culture and people.
Your education to become ‘colorblind’ was the first phase of enabling European replacement. First remove racial consciousness and promote guilt, then bring in mobs of foreigners and promote victimhood and hatred for Europeans.
This is the direct result of your generation being indoctrinated into avoiding racism. Racism is a survival strategy. Having cast racism aside, we now have literal genocidal material (that's what these claims are a prelude to, our slaughter)
Because are imported black population have no unique culture and have just adopted that of Africa Americans. Why do you think the British branch of buying large mansions refure to shooting in America and not the UK.
Sweden never had a global empire with African slavery and yet some parts of their media have inserted sub-Saharans into their history. Partly due to unnecessary guilt and partly to give modern multiculturalism some historical precedence
African countries don't have a white history month or yellow history month. That is just offensive to ALL Eurasian peoples and we need to do something about it right guys?
There’s a very disturbing obsession with black people in modern media. If I was black, I would likely be very concerned and annoyed. Black people have their own history and don’t need to lie to themselves and appropriate the history of others
If you were black you would lap this up and believe it 100% because that is what black people do. They are 70IQ hominids who have extreme egos. They don't care about reality, they are unable to understand it even. They just believe anything that they like
Totally with you there. And on mainstream media, where there's limited time, black history displaces all others, so now we hear almost nothing about Europe, East Asia, Australasia, Oceania, and South America, and a lot less than we used to about North America. On Radio 4 for example, I think I've heard Mary Seacole mentioned maybe a dozen times this year, and Charlemagne not once. I wonder who had the greater influence on British history?
Black history is awful and irrelevant. They have to appropriate White history because blacks are the least innovative people to exist save for aboriginals.
Great debunking work Tom! Of course, if we were to find a few skeletons of European ancestry in Japan or China, it does not follow that we should therefore have license to ethnically replace them in the 21st century.
We did find European mummies in China. Which, of course, means that the Han Dynasty was founded by Swiss mountaineers. How else do you think they have clocks?
Interesting that you mention that. In Mongolia, an ancient skeleton of Europid origin was found. If I recall correctly, it was seen as possibly a link between ancient Europid and Asiatic peoples.
Since you've mentioned Roman Emperor Septimius Severus, his mother reportedly was a member of an Italian family who came from Tusculum, which is about 12 miles from Rome. If correct, this would make him part Carthaginian (and thus part Phoenician) and part Italian. This would mean that a historical figure being passed off as black was descended from not one, but two peoples who colonized northern Africa.
He was Punic NOT Phoenician. Punics are Phoenicians who mixed with the native North African people, the Amazigh. Who were also white. The Punic language is also a mix Between Semetic and Tamazight.
The two flaws in most Afrocentric arguments are based on 1) the assumption that anyone born on the African continent were Black. (See recent dustup regarding Cleopatra.) And 2) that anyone with dark skin are sub Saharan descent. This ignores the black skinned populations of southern India, Melanesians from southeast Asia and the native populations of the New World. Just because a population isn't Caucasian does NOT mean they were Sub Saharan Africans. But the real tragedy of Afrocentrism is the ignoring actual historic Sub Saharan Africans who could show a great ethnic group with a rich history of their own. It's weird.
We were all Black Britons...right up until two seconds before the African slave trade started shipping people to the new world...then we all magically turned White. ...Apparently.
I can't believe England also has Black History Month, I remember a time when the English looked at US customs and traditions as something foreign and not something they would want to copy.
Yeah I didn’t think they had it either, especially when there’s a significantly smaller ratio of blacks to whites than there is in America. IIRC, blacks make up 3% of the British population. That’s nearly negligible.
@@AS-hz8cv True. But to be fair, the separate statistics on the cities themselves are different. IIRC only like 50% of the population of London is white which btw is a damn shame. It’s a different story though for the rest of the country away from big cities. I actually visited the UK somewhat recently, and I visited London and Manchester among some other smaller towns, and I was also shocked at how many blacks there were in those larger cities. It was actually really depressing seeing how much English culture has died. England is no longer a unique country, it has become as boring and sterile as the rest of the woke western world is.
Thank you for clearing this up, wow there are a lot of misinformation around this is a clear and constructed accurate and historical list I will continue my historical research
I’m so sick of this. They make up 3 percent of this country and yet they get all of this victimisation-driven attention. I never used to have a problem with them before, but my sympathy has been cauterised.
Do you celebrate your own culture? I mean not only living like a regular person in your native land, but celebrate ethnic historical cultural customs of your ancestors (within reasonable understanding and familiarity, as in from the last 200 or so years)? I encourage all European people and people of European ancestry abroad to get in touch with those traditions, even for holidays alone, and to share the culture with family.
As an American I feel your pain. Blacks make up around 13% of the population here so we're constantly reminded that blacks are victims because white America was behind the trans Atlantic slave trade even though a casual review of real history proves this to be false. Here in the states you would think slavery NEVER existed until the first slaves were brought here in 1619. 🙄
There was a similar discussion when Martin Bernal published his "Black Athena" back in 1987, claiming that ancient Greek history had actually "Afro-Asiatic" roots. Mary Lefkowitz, in her rebuttals "Black Athena Revisited" (1996) and "Not Out of Africa" (1997), listed up to 500 sources debunking Bernal's theory. Decades later, people still believe him.
Afro-Asiatic is not Black, it is a language group, mostly spoken in North Africa, and among some NE Africans who are admixed anyway. Martin Bernal knew how to make money.
Alex Haley caused a big problem in the USA and the UK when he wrote of Europeans capturing Africans as slaves in "Roots". This almost never happened with the only Europeans who may have done were the Portuguese. No other European country ever ventured past the coast into the interior of the African continent (no European would have survived any such trip due to indigenous diseases especially Malaria, until much later after the discovery of medicines like Quinine). There was no need to as the Europeans found thriving slave markets already existing in African cities on the coast. The Eastern coast had been selling slaves to the Middle East for centuries before the Western Europeans ever set foot on the continent. When asked about this he admitted that he had made it up as it made a better story.

They are literally trying to steal our history and ancestry instead of actually discovering their own. It’s tragic and frustrating. I’d love to learn more about actual ancient African history and their genetic story.
Their history before Europeans and Arabians got to their part of Africa was non existing. Even the Black Africans living near Great Zimbabwe couldn't tell anyone who built the place, they lived in mud huts, yet the building were all masonry. Take Benin, it took Africans centuries to learn to make metal objects. The Neolithic farming of the Bantu speaking people took place long after others had become farmers.
Hi Tom. Please could you produce a similar episode on Queen Charlotte, the grandmother of Queen Victoria, who is now routinely portrayed as a Sub Saharan African. I know she’s not in your period of expertise, but I believe her ‘black’ ancestor was so far removed as to have lived in medieval times. I am loving your videos.
"Black" in medieval lingo meant "black hair" or "dark features" such as eyes, or even personality. Theres a famous Scottish Noble who fought with Robert the Bruce called "The Black Douglas"... He wasnt black lol. Why the term "Black Irish" exists.
She didn't even have a black ancestor, she possibly had a Moorish Princess in Spain as an ancestor 500 years earlier. The Moorish Princess would have been or Berber or Arab ancestry, not sub saharan black. But 500 years and 15 generations back, one black ancestor would not have made her appear black at all. The whole thing however stems from African American wishful thinking that Moors were black, when they were Arabs and Berbers.

I am going to reveal something that is not a secret, but might as well be because it is never publicly aired: most Black people in Britain, whether they identify as British or not, cringe at this list or any of the other rewriting of British history.

Very well done Tom. I'm soon to be in my 6h decade and I don't need DNA results to prove that there were no blacks here in numbers. I didn't see one until a trip to london in my late teens.
Even if those people were black, I fail to see what would make most of them them “Great”. They are just a bunch of random most of witch we don’t even know the name.
I'm curious about the greatness criteria here. For example, what achievements is Cheddar Man known for? It seems that his main achievement was dying somewhere that preserved his remains for the convenience of modern anthropologists. Since he apparently died a violent death, the honor of this important achievement would seem to accrue to whoever or perhaps whatever killed him.
He had a large lesion on his face that ate into the bone, and after his death, his flesh was cut off. Yum yum. He isn't great, he is just an example of a WHG in Britain at a time when Britain was still attached to the mainland of Europe. He is interesting for his dna, not what he did in his short, and painful life.
What fascinates me about all this is the fact that these ‘historians’ ignore the history of the vast continent of Africa. This type of thing is a great disservice to everyone. I actually think it’s incredibly patronising to our British Black community it’s almost as these educators are telling that the history of our current black population has no meaning or relevance. This diminishes the input of black people in British culture.
Just an observation but Roman sculptures were painted and we can now scan for those colours. I can guarantee there is a study out there which will prove Severus wasn't black using the original paint as evidence.
I recently visited an exhibit on a restored ship. They had a video which claimed to be from its restoration in 1995, showing an artist repainting the figurehead , They used samples that they had carefully analysed to determine the pigments used. The figurehead- a moor in a turban- had been painted light yellowish brown. I was confused as I had visited during the original restoration and the figurehead was to my memory jet black. Sure enough I found a tiny photo on a board in the corner showing I was right. They had gone to the trouble of faking a video and " evidence " just incase they were accused of racism for initially keeping the 200 year old color scheme.
@@laa4438 Well, the Moors weren't Black Africans. The word Moor is problematic because it is associated with a dark color in some languages. Ludovico il Moro was called that because he had a darker skin tone, and mixed ancestry.
As I understand it, St. Edmund was the orginal Patron Saint of England until the Normans changed it to iradicate Anglo-Saxon history. George however again as far as I understand it was an officer in the Roman military who under Diocletian(I think?), was ordered to give up his Christian faith and return to the old pantheon. Upon refusing, he was given time to sort his affairs out beofre being put to the wheel and brutally killed. However people try to say he's Turkish because of where he was from which is now part of modern day Turkey, which is disingenuous to the fact he was of greek origin.
Severus, in truth, wasn't even mostly Middle Eastern, he was even on his Punic side, mostly White European. Since he was half Roman/Italic, and we now know that from a recent study the Carthaginians prior to the Punic wars were 75-90% more like modern Sicilians dated 650-250 BC. So their ancestry mostly came from Southern Italy/Sicily.
Middle east is the continuation of mediterranea ,remember Anatolia is the birthplace of the Anatolian language family , it was later inhabited by Greeks, Persians and Armenians ,all Indo-europeans . Mediterraneas and Middle easterners are closer to each other then to slaves and Scandinavians, both culturally and genetically.
@@MatthewVanstonNot Sure. but Seems like many Sicillians that tested there grandparents have them score about 25 percent Middle eastern. Southern Italians in General including Sicily were known for having West asian Migrants. Not only recently before the kingdom of Sardinia Unification of Italy. But Also in Ancient times. When Romans absorbed Greeks, it shifted their DNA from Italic European to near eastern Shifted. And they were no longer Pure Italic Romans anymore. Then Goths and Vikings invaded the north making them more nordic shifted in Northern italy. Which is why People always make contrast of Southern Italians not Being European. Southern Italians have goth viking mix also but they preserved pre Viking goth Ancestry Much more then their northern Counter parts.
@@sgonzo5572 Lots of good points...my only argument is the percentage of Middle Eastern ancestry which i'm confident is much lower. Depending what study your looking at....As far as the gene pool goes, the Muslims were expelled to Lucera were many towns were repopulated with Northern Italians...Also, take in account the Spanish domination, the Swabians, and Normans as well....
As someone around your age with a similar but much less knowledgeable, interest in history, I very much appreciate your informative, precise and engaging videos of scholarly analysis.
A description of `a black man' was often used to indicate hair and beard colouring . King Charles 2nd in the 1600 hundreds was called by his mother her Black Boy ,which has been used for pub name for ages ,with a painting of him on the sign.

It's good work you're doing, Tom. History and science should never be affected by these identity politics. I know how frustrating it can be when people misconstrue the history and legacy of your ancestors.
You have to also question Mary Seacole who was mixed race and by her own writings did not consider herself to be black, shouldn't her own wishes be respected ted ?
We have a building in Toxteth, Liverpool, that is called ' Florence Nightingale House' . So of course, some activist types had named the building next to it as ' Mary Seacole' House ...... Didn't she sell food or something, and they've tried to make her into this hero nurse ? It's hilarious isnt it.
Mary Seacole was a force to be reckoned with and did more good than FN. Her drawback (funny enough) was her colour. I hate revisionist bs, but give credit where credit is due. Otherwise, we fall in the same revisionist trap.
@@juneroberts5305 Nightingale revolutionised nursing , Seacole handed out bandages while visiting some battlefields in order to sell refreshments, did some voluntary work in the military hospital in the Crimea at an amateur level and sold folk remedies often containing extremly toxic lead and Mercury, there is no comparison between the two.
Mary Grant was a Caribbean Black person, not mixed race. What she considered herself is her business but to others she was a Black African born in the Caribbean and she looked Black African. That doesn't detract or enhance her achievements.

“The most effective way to destroy a people is to deny and obliterate their understanding of their own history”
After almost 10 years of study in the field of 20th Century history. I taught a course for 2 years at a respected university, I was rated joint top, along with another colleague, in both years for my teaching and ability feedback from the students. Before the third year, I was advised that I/we need to make the classes more black (Africa descent) centric in content, despite the course being well-represented on this topic. I stated that I/we would have to 'construct' narratives to do so, as the topic was exhausted of research. They replied, in the implicit way that academics are trained, that 'it is what is done for courses to remain viable.' I left the university and teaching within 6 months. If we can't tell the truth, we shouldn't be teaching period. It's all a money-making machine, especially the arts.

We are living in a post truth world, were facts are denied & labelled bigotry. I watched a woke US professor of Anthropology, being asked if you could tell the difference between a male & female skeleton. He replied no, denying there were any physical differences between the two. The audience howled with laughter, he got upset & doubled down, stating he had 150 years of evidence to back him up.
I mean he’s kind of right how can you tell the difference between a male and a female skeleton? Unless if, what are you are a fucking anthropologist or something?
Probably the audience was medical students/ nurses etc.or just knew basic anatomy
On a trip to my GP a nurse pointed out to me on a training skeleton that it was female. I asked how she could tell and she pointed out that the pelvis actually splits at the back, it's only connected by cartilage there, on a man the two halves of the pelvis are fused. This is for childbirth reasons. Also it's wider and the 'hole' in the pelvis where the baby comes out is much bigger than a man's. i.e you can put your fist through a female's quite easy not with a male's.
Sadly facts are given more credibility than actual truths....a fact is merely a "commonly agreed upon opinion" and can change with politics, whereas truth is universal and constant no matter who agrees or disagrees

There’s a very disturbing obsession with black people in modern media. If I was black, I would likely be very concerned and annoyed.
Black people have their own history and don’t need to lie to themselves and appropriate the history of others
If you were black you would lap this up and believe it 100% because that is what black people do. They are 70IQ hominids who have extreme egos. They don't care about reality, they are unable to understand it even. They just believe anything that they like
Totally with you there. And on mainstream media, where there's limited time, black history displaces all others, so now we hear almost nothing about Europe, East Asia, Australasia, Oceania, and South America, and a lot less than we used to about North America. On Radio 4 for example, I think I've heard Mary Seacole mentioned maybe a dozen times this year, and Charlemagne not once. I wonder who had the greater influence on British history?
They're trying to split people across ethnic lines to cause a communist revolution.

Black history is awful and irrelevant. They have to appropriate White history because blacks are the least innovative people to exist save for aboriginals.

Great debunking work Tom! Of course, if we were to find a few skeletons of European ancestry in Japan or China, it does not follow that we should therefore have license to ethnically replace them in the 21st century.

Finally, a Sunday sermon I can get behind.
Since you've mentioned Roman Emperor Septimius Severus, his mother reportedly was a member of an Italian family who came from Tusculum, which is about 12 miles from Rome. If correct, this would make him part Carthaginian (and thus part Phoenician) and part Italian. This would mean that a historical figure being passed off as black was descended from not one, but two peoples who colonized northern Africa.
He was Punic NOT Phoenician. Punics are Phoenicians who mixed with the native North African people, the Amazigh. Who were also white. The Punic language is also a mix Between Semetic and Tamazight.
You just said he's not Phoenician, because he's apart Phoenician.
Also, since Marius Roman Africa had been heavily colonized by Romans. So, Severus could have just been Italian.

The two flaws in most Afrocentric arguments are based on 1) the assumption that anyone born on the African continent were Black. (See recent dustup regarding Cleopatra.) And 2) that anyone with dark skin are sub Saharan descent. This ignores the black skinned populations of southern India, Melanesians from southeast Asia and the native populations of the New World. Just because a population isn't Caucasian does NOT mean they were Sub Saharan Africans. But the real tragedy of Afrocentrism is the ignoring actual historic Sub Saharan Africans who could show a great ethnic group with a rich history of their own. It's weird.
We were all Black Britons...right up until two seconds before the African slave trade started shipping people to the new world...then we all magically turned White.
...Apparently.

I can't believe England also has Black History Month, I remember a time when the English looked at US customs and traditions as something foreign and not something they would want to copy.
We are a colony of the USA, so it should not be surprising.
Yeah I didn’t think they had it either, especially when there’s a significantly smaller ratio of blacks to whites than there is in America. IIRC, blacks make up 3% of the British population. That’s nearly negligible.
@@TheAurelianProjectwalking around cities and larger towns you would struggle to believe that 3% figure.
@@AS-hz8cv
True. But to be fair, the separate statistics on the cities themselves are different. IIRC only like 50% of the population of London is white which btw is a damn shame. It’s a different story though for the rest of the country away from big cities.
I actually visited the UK somewhat recently, and I visited London and Manchester among some other smaller towns, and I was also shocked at how many blacks there were in those larger cities. It was actually really depressing seeing how much English culture has died. England is no longer a unique country, it has become as boring and sterile as the rest of the woke western world is.

Do you celebrate your own culture? I mean not only living like a regular person in your native land, but celebrate ethnic historical cultural customs of your ancestors (within reasonable understanding and familiarity, as in from the last 200 or so years)? I encourage all European people and people of European ancestry abroad to get in touch with those traditions, even for holidays alone, and to share the culture with family.
@@ПаніПончик I do! I have ancestors from across Europe and I’m very proud of my British, as well as European cultural backgrounds.
As an American I feel your pain. Blacks make up around 13% of the population here so we're constantly reminded that blacks are victims because white America was behind the trans Atlantic slave trade even though a casual review of real history proves this to be false. Here in the states you would think slavery NEVER existed until the first slaves were brought here in 1619. 🙄
3% black is far more recent
There was a similar discussion when Martin Bernal published his "Black Athena" back in 1987, claiming that ancient Greek history had actually "Afro-Asiatic" roots. Mary Lefkowitz, in her rebuttals "Black Athena Revisited" (1996) and "Not Out of Africa" (1997), listed up to 500 sources debunking Bernal's theory. Decades later, people still believe him.
As the saying goes, it is easier to convince people of a lie, than convince people they’ve been lied to.
Afro-Asiatic is not Black, it is a language group, mostly spoken in North Africa, and among some NE Africans who are admixed anyway. Martin Bernal knew how to make money.
Alex Haley caused a big problem in the USA and the UK when he wrote of Europeans capturing Africans as slaves in "Roots".
This almost never happened with the only Europeans who may have done were the Portuguese.
No other European country ever ventured past the coast into the interior of the African continent (no European would have survived any such trip due to indigenous diseases especially Malaria, until much later after the discovery of medicines like Quinine).
There was no need to as the Europeans found thriving slave markets already existing in African cities on the coast. The Eastern coast had been selling slaves to the Middle East for centuries before the Western Europeans ever set foot on the continent.
When asked about this he admitted that he had made it up as it made a better story.

They are literally trying to steal our history and ancestry instead of actually discovering their own. It’s tragic and frustrating. I’d love to learn more about actual ancient African history and their genetic story.
Their history before Europeans and Arabians got to their part of Africa was non existing. Even the Black Africans living near Great Zimbabwe couldn't tell anyone who built the place, they lived in mud huts, yet the building were all masonry. Take Benin, it took Africans centuries to learn to make metal objects. The Neolithic farming of the Bantu speaking people took place long after others had become farmers.
Hi Tom. Please could you produce a similar episode on Queen Charlotte, the grandmother of Queen Victoria, who is now routinely portrayed as a Sub Saharan African. I know she’s not in your period of expertise, but I believe her ‘black’ ancestor was so far removed as to have lived in medieval times. I am loving your videos.
"Black" in medieval lingo meant "black hair" or "dark features" such as eyes, or even personality. Theres a famous Scottish Noble who fought with Robert the Bruce called "The Black Douglas"... He wasnt black lol. Why the term "Black Irish" exists.
She didn't even have a black ancestor, she possibly had a Moorish Princess in Spain as an ancestor 500 years earlier. The Moorish Princess would have been or Berber or Arab ancestry, not sub saharan black.
But 500 years and 15 generations back, one black ancestor would not have made her appear black at all.
The whole thing however stems from African American wishful thinking that Moors were black, when they were Arabs and Berbers.
her 5 x great grandfather might might might have had some black in him....Queen Charlotte was WHITE

That's probably the main drive for all this. European history makes them want revenge, and "their turn"
This is neoliberal media playing "pretend progressivism which doesn't progress anything". The actual feelings of any race were barely acknowledged. If anything, this might even be meant to make you guys mad at black people instead of the businessmen funding this sort of thing.

I'm curious about the greatness criteria here. For example, what achievements is Cheddar Man known for? It seems that his main achievement was dying somewhere that preserved his remains for the convenience of modern anthropologists. Since he apparently died a violent death, the honor of this important achievement would seem to accrue to whoever or perhaps whatever killed him.
Cheddar man was yellow.
He had a large lesion on his face that ate into the bone, and after his death, his flesh was cut off. Yum yum. He isn't great, he is just an example of a WHG in Britain at a time when Britain was still attached to the mainland of Europe. He is interesting for his dna, not what he did in his short, and painful life.
What fascinates me about all this is the fact that these ‘historians’ ignore the history of the vast continent of Africa. This type of thing is a great disservice to everyone. I actually think it’s incredibly patronising to our British Black community it’s almost as these educators are telling that the history of our current black population has no meaning or relevance. This diminishes the input of black people in British culture.
Thanks Tom. Great channel
Just an observation but Roman sculptures were painted and we can now scan for those colours. I can guarantee there is a study out there which will prove Severus wasn't black using the original paint as evidence.
I recently visited an exhibit on a restored ship. They had a video which claimed to be from its restoration in 1995, showing an artist repainting the figurehead , They used samples that they had carefully analysed to determine the pigments used.
The figurehead- a moor in a turban- had been painted light yellowish brown.
I was confused as I had visited during the original restoration and the figurehead was to my memory jet black.
Sure enough I found a tiny photo on a board in the corner showing I was right.
They had gone to the trouble of faking a video and " evidence " just incase they were accused of racism for initially keeping the 200 year old color scheme.
True. I think a lot of statues had whatever pigment they had, removed because marble statues were thought to be marble white.
@@laa4438 Well, the Moors weren't Black Africans. The word Moor is problematic because it is associated with a dark color in some languages. Ludovico il Moro was called that because he had a darker skin tone, and mixed ancestry.
Thank you for your great work, the truth needs to be known!
As I understand it, St. Edmund was the orginal Patron Saint of England until the Normans changed it to iradicate Anglo-Saxon history. George however again as far as I understand it was an officer in the Roman military who under Diocletian(I think?), was ordered to give up his Christian faith and return to the old pantheon. Upon refusing, he was given time to sort his affairs out beofre being put to the wheel and brutally killed. However people try to say he's Turkish because of where he was from which is now part of modern day Turkey, which is disingenuous to the fact he was of greek origin.
Severus, in truth, wasn't even mostly Middle Eastern, he was even on his Punic side, mostly White European. Since he was half Roman/Italic, and we now know that from a recent study the Carthaginians prior to the Punic wars were 75-90% more like modern Sicilians dated 650-250 BC. So their ancestry mostly came from Southern Italy/Sicily.
Modern Sicilians have tons of middle eastern and north African Ancestry.

Southern Italians in General including Sicily were known for having West asian Migrants. Not only recently before the kingdom of Sardinia Unification of Italy. But Also in Ancient times. When Romans absorbed Greeks, it shifted their DNA from Italic European to near eastern Shifted. And they were no longer Pure Italic Romans anymore. Then Goths and Vikings invaded the north making them more nordic shifted in Northern italy. Which is why People always make contrast of Southern Italians not Being European. Southern Italians have goth viking mix also but they preserved pre Viking goth Ancestry Much more then their northern Counter parts.
@@sgonzo5572 Lots of good points...my only argument is the percentage of Middle Eastern ancestry which i'm confident is much lower.
