Europeans descend from prehistoric cavemen? During the Paleolithic, there were no buildings in Europe as we see in later historic times and the continent was covered in ice, so is it inaccurate to say this?

I would much rather people thought like you than those who think Europeans descend from jungle dwelling primates. Since the Mesolithic began only 10,000 years ago, I think you need to revise, or merely do a basic internet search, on when the Paleolithic ended.

Err, black aren't descended from jungle dwellers, you'd be hard pressed to find remains approximating black people in any jungle. I was talking about Upper Paleolithic Europeans anyways.

Incidentally, do you equate the entire Paleolithic period with an Ice Age? Caves provide adequate shelter and protections from the elements, indeed, later designs of stone, i.e. Broch ets probably take some inspiration from caves. Fingal's Cave, Scotland:

Negroids are indeed descended from jungle dwellers. What other form of habitat was there? Caves, perhaps? Also, what time scale are you talking of, please detail.

Fingal's Cave, Scotland: My God, quit playing around Trog. Most of Europe was covered in Ice and it is that age I'm referring to. The climate was much colder during age so it wouldn't be wrong to say the Europeans descend from cavemen, what do you think?

As I said previously, this idea is much more appealing than the soul patrol version.

Cavemen apparently did exist in Upper Paleolithic Europe. I said nothing about apes, however there are certain tribes in Africa even now who inhabit the jungles, the pygmies being an example. Why this provokes such shame within you is quite baffling. Unless you think Negroids were running around marble and gold palaces and shooting around in speed boats and Harley Davidsons, then I really don't see what your point is? I'm very proud of the Paleolithic culture in Europe, when even so far back, arts still flourished in the form of their rock paintings and where even the Neanderthal played the flute. I think of the Acheulian, Aurignacian, Solutrean, Mousterian and so on. So yes, please do embrace this idea. I certainly do.

I said no black race evolved in the jungles, people e now moved in relatively recently. I never implied that Africans lived better that Upper Paleolithic Europeans. The Aurignacian is *NOT* European in origin.

Moved from where exactly? Where did the so called "tropical" traits evolve from?
The Aurignacian is the name given to earliest modern humans in Europe from the Upper Paleolithic period. This is in reference to the culture of 'cave-dwelling' Europeans as seen by the sites etc in France. So either Europeans descended from the Upper Paleolithic Aurignacian cave-dwellers' or they didn't - which is it to be?
