Actually...Louis Leakey contributed to this view. He claimed that Europeans were the first to transition to fully human (not using anthrospeak--forgot the terms), Africans last, and he meant black people. Whether he was racist I don't know, but that certainly was not a topic your average black anthropologist student would have liked.

This view was discussed in class in the '60's, so I don't have chapter and verse.
