Sobre la evolución humana.
Abajo está el texto original en alemán e inglés, pero vale la pena
traducirlo también:

Dicho por Alejandro Dumas:

"Mi padre era un mulato, mi abuelo era un negro, mi bisabuelo un mono. Verá,
señor, que mi familia comienza donde la suya terminó."

Subject: [mpositive] alexandre dumas/race


I just found a very good anecdote in our daily newspaper. It's a
quote from Alexandre Dumas who had to defend his descent all his life.
I write the quote first in german, then I'll try to translate it. If
someone finds a "mistake" in it, please tell me.

"Mein Vater war ein Mulatte, mein Großvater ein Neger und mein
Urgroßvater war ein Affe. Sie sehen, Monsieur, meine Familie fängt
dort an, wo die ihre endet."

"My father was a mulatto, my grandfather a negro, my greatgrandfather
was an ape. You see, monsieur, my family begins where yours ended."

I love it! It's witty and it exposes the stupidity of his opponent,
while still being "polite"
