The First Chinese

It can be reasonably assumed that the first inhabitants of the chinese mainland were Black Brown Africans from East, West and Central regions of Africa given that the earliest human skeletal remains in China are of “Negro” (or “Negritos†a psuedo-scientific term commonly used today) people. The next oldest skeletal type after the period of predominance of the African immigrants were the Classical Mongoloids or Austronesian speakers.
Archaeological research makes it clear that “Negroids” (read: Central African skeletal types) were very common to ancient China. F. Weidenreich in Bull. Nat. Hist. Soc. Peiping 13, (1938-30) noted that the one of the earliest skulls from north China found in the Upper Cave of Chou-k’ou-tien, was of a Oceanic Negroid/ Melanesoid ” (p.163). This is the so-called Peking Man. This would place people in China during the Mesolithic looking like African/Negro people , not native American.
These Blacks were the dominant group in South China. Kwang-chih Chang, writing in the 4th edition of Archaeology of ancient China (1986) wrote that:” by the beginning of the Recent (Holocene) period the population in North China and that in the southwest and in Indochina had become sufficiently differentiated to be designated as Mongoloid and OCEANIC NEGROID races respectively….”(p.64). By the Upper Pleistocene the Negroid type was typified by the Liu-chiang skulls from Yunnan (Chang, 1986, p.69).
Negroid skeletons dating to the early periods of Southern Chinese history have been found in Shangdong, Jiantung, Sichuan, Yunnan, Pearl River delta and Jiangxi especially at the initial sites of Chingliengang (Ch’ing-lien-kang) and Mazhiabang (Ma chia-pang) phases (see: K.C. Chang, The archaeology of ancient China, (Yale University Press:New Haven,1977) p.76) . The Chingliengang culture is often referred to as the Ta-wen-k’ou (Dawenkou) culture of North China. The presence of Negroid skeletal remains at Dawenkou sites make it clear that Negroes spread out from the North to South China. The Dawenkou culture predates the Lung-shan culture which is associated with the Xia civilization.
Many researchers believe that the Yi of Southern China were the ancestors of the Austronesian, Polynesian and Melanesian people.
In the Chinese literature the Blacks were called li-min, Kunlung, Ch’iang (Qiang), Yi and Yueh. The founders of the Xia Dynasty and the Shang Dynasties were blacks. These blacks were called Yueh and Qiang. The modern Chinese are descendants of the Zhou. The second Shang Dynasty (situated at Anyang) was founded by the Yin. As a result this dynasty is called Shang-Yin.
The Yin or Classical/Oceanic Mongoloid type is associated with the Austronesian speakers ( Kwang-chih Chang, “Prehistoric and early historic culture horizons and traditions in South China”, Current Anthropology, 5 (1964) pp.359-375 :375). Djehuti your Austronesian or Oceanic ancestors were referred to in the Chinese literature as Yin, Feng, Yen, Zhiu Yi and Lun Yi.
It is not clear that contemporary European and Chinese people are descendants of the original Black population which lived in Europe and Asia; neither is it clear that the Chinese are descendants of the Austronesian speaking people.
Textual evidence and the skeletal record seem to indicate that contemporary Chinese and European people come out of nowhere after 1500 BC, the European Sea People came from the North and attacked Egypt, and the Chinese (Hua) people came from the North and ran the Black Qiang and Yueh tribes, along with the Austronesian Yin (classical mongoloid or Austronesian speakers) off the Chinese mainland back into Southeast Asia or on to the Pacific Islands.
Peking man was mongoloid. He had mongoloid features that has been established. That is strong evidence for Chinese people being in China for a very very long time.
Stop trying to claim the great Ancient Chinese civilisations as Black African when it is not. The Shang dynasty was great for its time and you are trying to portray that Black African people had laid down the Chinese foundations when it is in fact Chinese people and not black people. Are you giving credit to Black African people inventing Chinese writing? Please. Those people of that time could have been quite dark but not negroid and not straight from Africa.
I actually find Afrocentrism to be racist, full of lies and work of pseudo-scholarship and pseudo-science.
All of China’s Ancient history is claimed to be Chinese. It is Chinese people’s heritage and history and not African history! Oh darn what am I wasting my time on you losers desperate to claim everything good that is not yours. I’m on a Rasta website!
You need to do your research and look at the archeological facts. Also mature intelligent adults don’t go around saying how people are losers. I care about people and I don’t think Chinese, Black or White people are losers.
Letitcome argues:
“Peking man was mongoloid. He had mongoloid features that has been established. That is strong evidence for Chinese people being in China for a very very long time.”
Jahdey responds: Could you kindly cite two peer reviewed sources for this claim respecting the morphology of the Peking man.
Letitcome rants on: “Stop trying to claim the great Ancient Chinese civilisations as Black African when it is not. The Shang dynasty was great for its time and you are trying to portray that Black African people had laid down the Chinese foundations when it is in fact Chinese people and not black people.”
Jahdey responds: Sources please…citations not wild barbaric rantings… Have you heard of Prof Jin Li a Chinese Professor who recently provided genetic and skeletal evidence of the African origin of the Chinese?
Rasta Livewire: Ancient Black Chinese from East Africa (by Prof. Jin Li)
Letitcome totally flips now: “Those people of that time could have been quite dark but not negroid and not straight from Africa.”
Jahdey responds: No matter where you come from as long as your skin is black…you are African. Africa is the original home of all the world’s black people because Africa was the first continent where the black people appeared so long ago before they left to populate other parts of the earth… Letitcome or whatever it calls itself appears to have the well known pale people’s disease…negrophobia. However, Negroid is a creation of Europe since black Africans existed before that term was coined by some Spaniard pirate. Letitcome, if negro is your bogeyman, that is not our problem, that is a problem for you and your piratical European ancestors since they created the negro class and its attendant phobia. But yes, the first Chinese were black people from Africa.

Letitcome foams in the mouth: “I actually find Afrocentrism to be racist, full of lies and work of pseudo-scholarship and pseudo-science.”
Jahdey responds: Your opinion is irrelevant since you rant garbage and silliness like all the other half educated, ignorant red necks who howl at the moon in their moments of lunacy. You need a pyschoanalyst not a Rastaman!
Letitman is whining like a canine now: “All of China’s Ancient history is claimed to be Chinese. It is Chinese people’s heritage and history and not African history!”
Jahdey responds: Go read through some proper library littleman. There are enough books out there to bring your historical knowledge up to standard.
Letitman is now greenish purple with envious malice: “Oh darn what am I wasting my time on you losers desperate to claim everything good that is not yours. I’m on a Rasta website!”
Jahdey responds: And where did you think that your devil brought you to anyway? Some redneck corner? No sir, this is Rasta Livewire. Fools get roasted here…we are electric.
Go..go on then to some KKK website where you can spew all your venomous gall imbued by your physical and mental inadequacy. Go roll in the gutter then, with swines like youself, eating the pigswill of ignorance and irrationality. But the inexorable movement of this historic revolution in cognition will surely grind you and your likes into the dust of history.
Remember!
Jahdey
Hah! Such a typical response that I would get from people like you. If I stand up against the lies and fallacies and fabrication and poor scholarship and twisted logic of Afrocentrism I get called a racist! What a pathetic little come back. Of course that is what is to be expected I’m on a Rasta website!
Those lying racist Afrocentrist websites and books dear respectable Mr Jahdey mixed maybe some truth in a huge error and they are also grossly inaccurate and they do lie so that it can make feel good history for Black Supremacists. Yes I have read what you have given me even though they were biased in reporting the story. The report about Chinese people DNA said that Chinese people DNA had a gene that connected them with East Africa from like over 100 000 years ago. It’s like over 100000 years ago! It could be useful info to say where the origin of mankind came from. A lot of people would know about the theory about that all man came from Africa so what the big deal? We all know the theory that back then some people migrated to other parts of the world, there was great climate change all over the world over periods of time and they evolved and adapted to their environment.
What so everyone (even White Europeans) is Black African now because of the “out of Africa” theory? I’m sorry but that is not true and you know it. And Peking man is still real he was mongoloid and was there a very very long time ago.
And Africa isn’t just a home for Black people have you heard of the Berbers? They are caucasian people who are native to Africa!
Yes if you are of Black African descent you are from Africa. Europeans and Asians are not. But if you are going to use the “out of Africa” theory then EVERYBODY is African.
You do know that the determination of somebody’s race does not just depend on skin color but other physical features and DNA? The Aboriginal people of Australia who have the same skin tone of most Black people are Australoid and have more in common with caucasoid people than negroid people!
I think that Afrocentrist exploit the “out of Africa” theory a lot (and think a sun tan=Black African) so that they can claim good Ancient history from other parts of the world as their own and to assist with their Black Supremacy agenda. They go so far as putting out gross inaccuracies, fallacies and twisting things.
I have read some Afrocentric websites and am appalled at their inaccuracies. I decided to do some research for myself and looked at good, professional, OBJECTIVE sources and found out proper information. Afrocentrism is so subjective and their agenda is clear as crystal. They are so deceptive and racist.
I have nothing but respect for Black African people, I truly do mean it when I say that. We are fellow human beings but lying Afrocentrism is not good for anyone because we deserve to know the whole truth.

Citations pleaseee. If you have no sources to back you up then just shut up and stop being obnoxious. We have no further time to waste with silly trolls. Provide us with some logical and scientific arguments backed by peer reviewed papers or just cease that noisy yapping and go play with those of your sort.
Jahdey
why are you pairing up with the europeans you think you are white? the white people dont care about you. Chinese people are the little black people. If not explain how your existence came about?letitcome!
Jahdey, you’re the one being obnoxious, here. You are full of hate.
love by the buffalo, why are you trying to make this an “us vs. them” affair? Extremism and duality are bad things.
This is love by the buffalo, I am not an extremist and I do support duelism, when it’s appropriate. The time now! is to realize it’s colored people including yourself, against the White man. Not by violence but by unity, all people of color should stick together. As soon as you accept your African ancestry you will begin to understand why it is so important to identify who you are. I hope someday you will be proud of who you are,”the little black people”.
