Yes, she is predominantly Slovak. She has a facial structure and eyes that exemplify that. And many Slavic people have full lips, look at Tatiana Nikiforova, Daniela Pestova and Adriana Sklenarikova.
Slavic people have full lips because their ancestors are African.
everybodys black,the oldest fossils african,now prove they were black
Something in her definitely looks “non white”
I have heard that Brad Pitt has a black ancestor somewhere in the past, look at his lips.
Anyone who says “She has big lips…She must have African-American in her!”
Thats very close minded. I have big lips just like her, and I don’t one singe African-American blood in me.
All I have is european.
You do know there other black people beside AA right.black were all over Europe
EXACTLY. It’s just like how people say “Oh, Taylor Swift MUST be Asian because her eyes are small!” or whatever. -_-
Yeah, I must agree. Most people of color see that her and her brother clearly look like they have some type of black blood line somewhere. Definitely not just European blood. The lips are very African.
That’s because people don’t understand assimilation.How a smaller number of people after time can vanish into the population.That the color can vanish,but many times a certain trait can stay.How during history black were all over Europe fooling around with white people.There are many things I could go into,but I’ve given them enough for them to get mad and say I’m lying
Life started in Africa and Africans (HUEmans) traveled all over the world and later mutated to the different ethnicities that you see today. Please people do your research! There is only one race, the African race and everyone’s DNA can be traced to 1 woman in Africa. Don’t believe, me prove me wrong and go learn something! I usually don’t post comments online but I’m hoping at least one of you can see through the foolishness of the term interracial or saying I’m half this or half that when it doesn’t exist. Please study your history or should I say the worlds history, trust me you wont regret it. And Nicole, you might want to retrace your family tree or better yet get a DNA test because surprise you have big lips because your not too distant ancestors were African. So before you post other ignorant comments please know what the fuck you are talking about and learn something. If you do decide to read a book, or find the data that will prove what I’m saying to be scientifically right, you’re welcome and please share this with your kind.
didnt they find the remains in china of a little girl older than the bones in africa?
I don’t know about that,but I do know the DNA test,they gave Chinese people traces them right back to Africans
fuzzybear if you read my quotes i have never tried to tell anyone their race or the history of their country because i frankly dont care,but it pisses me off when people come on here and try to pass their opinion as facts,i only respond to you and a few others because you at least base your opinion on personal expirience or give me something to see where you got it from,but posting on someone elses race with going there is silly
without going there is silly how can i tell about a people i have never met,the states are a melting pot,i cant see a jamaican here and say thats how they all are in jamaica,i have never been there,here we have all mixed with people who arent from our original origin,so people shouldnt base their opinion because they saw a mixed pr in the states that doesnt mean people on the island look like him
fuzzy bear just so you know i am not trying to diss you,or anyone else,but that moron j
the oldest FOSSILS found have been in africa,that doesnt mean they wont find more elsewhere,but im sure you would deny it,by the way scientists cant decide if those remains were even human,you can find a scetch of what they think she looked like in the new york post,they drew her as a monkey,still proud of that? to such an old continent and still third world,very embarrasing
There is only one race, the human race. There are very complicated and detailed sub-type classifications which fall apart due to intermarriage, etc. So if you want to say that the Human race began in Africa you can. Personally, I don’t buy it though. I think scientists have just touched the tip of the iceberg and new ‘findings’ are always being discovered. I think the beginnings in Africa make AA feel good about themselves and much of history did begin in Africa..a beautiful , fascinating place with beautiful people. We need to learn more about Africa, Asia, Pacific Islands. All ethnicities. Many NA stories say that we, Native people came from here (US) , some mention travel from elsewhere, some mention a re-birth from below the earth’s surface.So who really know, and is it really important. What is the fight to prove white or black superiority really about…
