"In the beginning was the Logos. The Logos was with God and the Logos was God." John 1:1 ( in the original Greek. ) Logos, to the ancient Greeks meant, "the active reason pervading and animating the Universe.

Toss out any other narrative about race and look at what our DNA says. Africans are the only pure Homo Sapiens Sapiens. The rest of us are mutts. Europeans and Asians are 3% Neanderthal (on Average) Asians/American Indians are up to another 5% Denisovan. Africans are neither. But they are mutts too. They, we, came from our predecessor, Homo Sapiens Idaltu, the First Wise Man, Elder.

Cool article, But I am skeptical until we have more than a tooth. I will wait'll Paabo Svante and his team of ancient human geneticists weighs in on how closely Denisovans are to this newly discovered Homo Sapiens, Wise Man. That'd make 5 species of Homo Sapiens, Wise Men, besides us, Homo Sapiens Sapiens. Where is any mention of that in any Holy Writ. Perhaps Adam was Homo Sapiens Idal

I'd wear it as badge of honor. Korihor was the only enlightened character in Joseph's Myth. The best analysis Ive read on Korihor was based upon Thomas Paine's Common Sense and Age of Reason, which defined the Enlightenment principles upon which America was founded. They were what inspired deists, like Jefferson and Franklin to undertake the experiment in democracy. Jopesph's Myth was the ant
