  1. This was wonderful, David. Thank you. It’s really amazing that this was actually aired on TV in 1958. It was only a year later when my family moved from the Midwest to Florida, and I remember being stunned, even as a child, to see “Colored only” signs in public. Fortunately, that wasn’t allowed too much longer, but there were still segregated schools and neighborhoods. I never understood it, as I had grown up in a military area where I went to school with kids from all over the world, so that had seemed a perfectly normal thing to me as a kid.

  2.  @kaneja  I agree. I noticed that everyone on the tape had the “Mid-Atlantic accent” that was so popular in movies, radio and TV in the 1940s and 1950s (and it required being taught, as it’s not really a natural accent from anywhere). The good doctor himself spoke the same way. Makes me wonder if perhaps he had an aspiration to be an actor, or a radio or TV announcer, or at least a voice-over artist, as those professions were the primary ones using the training. I find accents and dialects fascinating, and was recently watching a YT video about the Mid-Atlantic accent.

  3. That’s an interesting theory when you consider that it has recently been proven that Neanderthals and Humans (homo sapiens) mated and produced offspring, and many people today have been discovered to still have Neanderthal DNA in their ancestry even though they look completely human, as did the Denisovans (early proto-humans in Asia) and Humans. This was discovered because of all the DNA testing going on now. So, would you say, therefore, that humans and Neanderthals are inherently the same? Honestly, I’m not sure what to think, because how could they have mated and produced offspring in the first place? (Well, the mating part I understand, but offspring?). We’re all descended from apes, but apparently something changed in Neanderthals to allow them to produce offspring with humans, which apes can’t do.
