This looks pretty cool, but unrealistic. When I say unrealistic I mean politically correct/Jewish hollywood. I saw some African in the preview. I think they are suggesting Africans had a civilization. They also had nonwhites in the title roles. The girl is a Jewess and the guy is a mestizo.

I know current genetics tests say blonde hair/white traits evolved 11 thousand years ago. The Jewess has blue eyes yet the guy is a mestizo. I am interested to know how the the inhabitants of Europe looked. I know Europeans had black hair and black eyes around this time too but if we already were undergoing the genetic divergence, as evidenced by the blue eyed Jewess, I will assume the darker people would have a white bone structure. They should have cast northern Europeans. They said they did research but it seems like they are trying to appeal to all audiences by the cast choices.

If anyone can enlighten me I will appreciate it.

EDIT: Btw, pause at 2:01. The supposedly European girl is bracing her self with a mullato. This is just a joke.

Did Europeans and Africans even interact at this time period?

I can't find any evidence that Stephen Strait is a Mestizo (in an interview he was asked what his ethnicity was, and he said "whitey." When asked to elaborate, he said French-Canadian/Irish. He looks part-something, but that's probably why he was chosen for the role). Nor any evidence that Camelle Bell is a Jewess, beyond her mother's maiden name being "Routh." The guy who played Superman was also surnamed "Routh," which is usually more indicative of gentile-Germanic descent than the spelling "Roth" (although there are gentile "Roths" as well. Blame the Austro-Hungarian Empire for not demanding Jews identify themselves as such with their surnames).

The actress is Brazilian-American, anyway, and graduated from Our Lady-of-Something-or-Other Apostolic-High School in California.

As for the evolution of "whiteness," I'm willing to bet it's further back than 11000 years. 11000 years for blondism is usually given as a minimum; it may have gone back as far as 25000 years. It's typically though that blond hair came from northeastern Europe (the Baltics or Finnish areas) and red hair came from northwestern Europe.

Here's a reconstruction of a Cro-Magnon. Maybe you can get this to fully load on your computer, because I certainly can't:

According to Roland Emmerich, the movie is supposed to be taking place in Africa. Is there any indication of interactions between Europeans and Africans way back then?

Yes, surprisingly. There's genetic evidence that there was a mass migration of Europeans into Africa between 30-25000 years ago. Most Cameroonians are the same haplogroup as western Europeans on their father's side.

Anyway, if they wanted a movie set in "10000 B.C." with a pseudo-Egyptian civilization that built pyramids, and dark-haired guys kicking a** and so forth...why didn't they just do another "Conan" movie?!

Ill wait for it on dvd. You say it is only a movie but the other day i saw the new justice league movie and through the whole thing they preached the p c nonsense of we are all the same and must unite bs. Kids watch this and believe just like at an early age they believe in santa until someone tells them the truth. Movies have a very powerful effect that shape our society. how many times have you seen young influential people dress and act like something they saw in a movie.

This is a good and very funny review (with plenty of spoilers) of the film, the guy actually gave him a score of three out of four, but only because he enjoyed laughing the whole time at the idiocy of it.
