the European expansion was made possible by the Euroepean discovery of
trans-Atlantic and a accros the Cape of Good Hope trade routes.

Historians have been puzzled by this reversal. Recently, genetic
research has revealed that sub-Saharan Africans have contributed
greatly to the genome of today's Arab population.http://www.biomedcentral..com/1471-2148/10/138

The Arabs imported enormous numbers of African female slaves, a trade
that ended only at the end of the 19th century. Estimates by
historians suggest the extent of the Arab slave trade to between 11 to
25 million black Africans, and from thousands to in excess of one
million Europeans (Wikipedia). The female slaves were exploited
sexually. But, unlike in America, there are no direct descendants of

and their descedants were considered freedmen, according to Islamic
law.

the slaves in the Arab world. This is because Arabs, as a whole, are
descendants of African slaves. The African genome was swallowed up by
the Arab population.


anyway this answers a question posed in a previous thread, in which I
agrued along similar lines (minus the racism)

How many African slaves did the Arabs take from Africa and where are
the descendents of these slaves today ?

Today, research has shown that there is a genetic signal of
Neanderthals in all the non-African genomes.
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/05/100506141549.htm
This could explain the larger brain of the non-African races.
Neanderthals had a significantly larger brain than Sapiens (it could
have been as much as 20% larger). We are bound to discuss to what

that doesn't mean they were more intelligent. it evens out when
adjusted to their robust body size.

extent our advanced Western civilization depends on our inherited
genetic makeup, and the consequences of an African/Arabic immigration,
whether there can occur a devitalization on lines of the Arabic
reversal. This is not merely an issue of genetics, but also of
culture, as I argue in "An Intrusion of Matriarchal Consciousness"http://home7.swipnet.se/~w-73784/matriarchal.htm
