Title: Enlightening
Review: I couldn't help feeling embarassed for Bernal while reading this book. How can he honestly face academia with his flimsy "evidence" knowing that a book with real substance completely refutes his entire thesis?Fact: genetically Greeks are caucasian.Fact: Initial greek architecture/sculpture was slightly similar to Egyptian. What made Ancient Greece great was the flowering of their civilization during the Golden age of Philosophy/Drama/Politics(democracy)/etc.The peaks of Greek achievement were of their own making.We don't know much about Black Africa (not Egyptian) because they didn't even develop a WRITTEN LANGUAGE! OUCH!Read Lefkowitz if you want real scholarship. If political propoganda is your game, embrace Bernal.
