Myth or high science? is there evidence of Mr. Yakub?

(FinalCall.com) - The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan delivered part three of his monumental lecture series, answering for all time the question, “Who Are the Real Children of Israel?” He spoke eloquently to those gathered at Mosque Maryam about The Messenger's teaching on Yakub:
“When they make mockery of what God has revealed to the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, they say that Yakub was an evil scientist. Wrong! Yakub was a scientist who saw in the genetic makeup of the Black man that he could bring out of us a new people, the opposite of the original. That is not evil. That is high science.”

The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches that the White man first appeared 6,000 years ago on the Island of Patmos (or Pelan), in the Aegean Sea, where they had been “made” by a 600-year process of selective breeding called “grafting.” Under the auspices of a brilliant Black scientist named Yakub, and by divine authority of Allah Himself, the Blacks who came with Yakub to the island were placed under a system of laws by which mating was based on skin color and in which only lighter-complexioned babies were allowed to survive. Over the course of many generations, the population of Patmos began to grow lighter and lighter until, after 600 years of this dedicated grafting process, the people became very pale with blue eyes and blonde hair. From this island-based tribe of white-skinned albinos came an aggressive race of rulers who then spread into every corner of the world—namely, the Caucasians, who now represent 9 percent of the world population (that's 1 in every 11 human beings).
But The Messenger is not the only source to address the origin of the White race. There are many echoes of this account chronicled by other histories, religions, and folklores, including Judaism. The ancient rabbis use the biblical account of Jacob's grafted flocks of sheep and goat to bear witness to the teachings of Mr. Muhammad. Genesis 30:35 says that Jacob (English translation of the name Yakub) was able to produce unusually colored livestock through the use of a skillful breeding technique. Significantly, it took Jacob six years to successfully change the color of the flock (Genesis 31:41). The book of Jewish traditions called the Midrash Rabbah actually uses this Bible story to explain the birth of White children to Black parents. The rabbis present this parable:
The king of the Arabs put this question to Rabbi Akiba: “I am Black and my wife is Black, yet she gave birth to a White son. Shall I kill her for having played the harlot while lying with me?” Said the other, “Are the figures in your house painted Black or White?” “White,” he said. The other assured him, “When you had intercourse with her, she fixed her eyes upon the White figures and bore a child like them.”
These Caucasian rabbis, who ALWAYS present themselves in their writings as superior to both the “Arab” and the Blacks, use this apocryphal passage to explain their own racial origin in terms of a breeding process.
And with the assistance of Lawrence Guthrie's powerful little book, The Making of The Whiteman, we are led to other more recent testimonials. The Baptist theologian Bernard L. Ramm explained:
By scientific breeding we can shuffle these genes with their characteristics and breed traits in or breed them out. ...The laws of heredity plus principles of separation or selection operating over a period of time will produce the various races of the world.
But religious leaders are not the only ones alluding to a created man. Men of science have also grappled with what they saw as the unusual appearance of this odd human anomaly, the White man. The Dutch anatomist Lodewijk “Louis” Bolk wrote in Origin of Racial Characteristics in Man, “White skin ... started from an ancestor with a black skin, in whose offspring hair and iris color were suppressed more and more.”
The notable English naturalist Charles Darwin concluded that without some form of selective breeding, such skin color differences simply “cannot be accounted for in a satisfactory manner”:
“We have thus far been baffled in all our attempts to account for the differences between the races of man; but there remains one important agency, namely, Sexual Selection, which appears to have acted as powerfully on man as on many other animals.”
The English physician James Cowles Prichard likewise concluded that the physical differences between the races of man could only have resulted from a method comparable to “the process of artificial selection carried on by plant and animal breeders.” It seems, he said “probable that the fairest races of White people of Europe, are descended from … Negroes.”
American biologist Dr. Edwin Grant Conklin wrote in The Evolution of Man:
[I]t is evident that distinct races could not have been established and perpetuated except by the aid of isolation, chiefly geographical.
The ancient Egyptians worried about an immigrant-tribe of blue-eyed people among them that seemed to have a proclivity for trouble-making. They had red or blonde hair and blue eyes and lived at the edge of the desert. The Egyptians called them Tamahu—the created ones—a clear allusion to their unnatural origins. More recently, a Jewish scientist at the University of Copenhagen confirmed that all blue-eyed humans have a single, common ancestor. Dr. Hans Eiberg refers to this condition as a “genetic mutation” and he says it occurred 6-10 thousand years ago. According to Mr. Elijah Muhammad this is EXACTLY when Mr. Yakub's work began on Patmos! Further, Dr. Eiberg and his team found a specific gene, known as the OCA2 gene, which if altered would result in human beings without melanin in their hair, eyes, or skin color—a condition known as albinism. Thus, this OCA2 gene was targeted and manipulated by some force or event around 6,000+ years ago.
In a 2006 New York Times article is yet more proof of a drastic alteration of genetic structure within this 6,000-year time frame. It reported that researchers at the University of Chicago had found “where genes appear to have been reshaped by natural selection …within the last 5,000 to 15,000 years.” Incredibly, Dr. Jonathan Pritchard estimates that the point in time when the genes of the Asian and European populations were altered was 6,600 years ago—the exact date that The Messenger said that Mr. Yakub began his grafting process! The scientists say that “the selected genes, which affect skin color, hair texture and bone structure, may underlie the present-day differences in racial appearance.” How exactly they were “selected,” why, and by whom or by what process the scientist cannot or will not say, but in a human timeline of millions of years this recent genetic alteration is drastic indeed and suggests a purpose-driven effort to create this incredible change.
These are extraordinary testaments to the truth taught by the Most Hon. Elijah Muhammad, and believe it or not, none of the aforementioned witness-bearers have ever been members of the Nation of Islam. These scientific sources have never been impeached or even interrogated by the mischievous voices of mockery that have yet to account for the independent findings of all these White scientists. Despite the recent radio hijinks of Foxman and crew, it is the truths revealed by The Messenger and his most powerful Servant, The Hon. Minister Louis Farrakhan, which are vindicated by science, and that still stand alone.
Next: Why Did The Messenger use the term ‘Grafting'?

“You have to study this word graft, because graft is something that is put into something. It is a living thing that is grafted into a living thing from which it sucks and gets its life.” —Minister Louis Farrakhan

Those critics of The Messenger's Teaching on the history of Yakub have cited the word “grafting” as inaccurate and some have denounced it on that word alone. Others disparaged The Teaching, saying it was a cynical rehashing of the H.G. Wells book published in 1897, “The Island of Dr. Moreau,” in which the main character carries on breeding experiments with animals and humans on an island in the Java Sea in his diabolical attempts to create a perfect human.
But digging deeper into the word grafting, one finds a fascinating activity in the insect world that seems to fit The Teaching perfectly—and may even illuminate Sura 16 of the Holy Qur'an, titled “The Bee.” The honeybee engages in a process called grafting when it needs to create a ruler in the beehive. If the queen bee is killed or dies, the worker bees of the hive graft female larvae into specialized incubator cells, where they actually create their new queen bees. The worker bees create several of these cells and essentially cultivate a ruler for themselves. When the queen bee emerges she first and foremost kills off the larvae in the other incubator cells by stinging them. If two queens emerge at the same time they fight to the death until one reigns supreme.
The parallels to the history of Yakub are fascinating. In the beehive, workers decide to create a ruler in a place apart from the other cells. Upon her birth, she is first and foremost a murderer and immediately causes the shedding of blood. The workers are actually the creators of this murderer and submit to and protect her as their ruler. But her value and existence are entirely on the backs of the workers that may not know the power they have to create and support her.
Similarly, the bee is unaware of its own power in maintaining “higher” civilizations. If it withholds its ability to pollinate the food supply of human beings, the human being would be extinct in short order. This parallels the enslavement of the Black man and woman—the worker bees—and their creation of the vast wealth for the ruling white people. Understanding the dynamics of the beehive and the relationship between the worker and queen bees helps us understand how the African was used in the Caucasians' strategies for their own development and enrichment. It is also interesting to note that the ancient Egyptians exalted the bee as a symbol of their own great Black civilization, and likely used their remarkable work ethic as a model in constructing the great pyramids that still confound the highest scientists.
In Maulana Muhammad Ali's translation of the Holy Quran, he comments on the healing nature of the bee in his introduction to Sura 16:
This chapter is very appropriately named The Bee, because the bee, guided by instinct…gathers together sweet honey from flowers of all kinds, taking what is best in them, thus producing “a beverage of many hues, in which there is healing for men.” So Divine revelation to the Holy Prophet collected what was best in the teaching of all the prophets and presented it in the Holy Qur'an, which is also declared to be a healing (10:57) for the spiritual diseases of men.
The functions of the bee in its ability to pollinate (and thus bring nourishment and beauty to the world) and generate the healing salve of honey, its harsh capacity for stinging and destruction, and its unique ability to actually create a ruler of itself seem to mirror some of the many attributes of Allah Himself. And the bee's ability to create, its contribution to humanity, and its seeming obliviousness to its own power seem to parallel exactly the experience, condition, and mind of the Sleeping Giant—the real Children of Israel—Black man and woman of America.
