That would be David Yerushalmi, the "father of the anti-Sharia movement":
Considering that we share about 99% of our genetic heritage with chimpanzees, and that non-Africans have inherited between 1 and 2% of their genes from Neanderthals (although I've seen higher estimates), and that the genetic difference between human races is insignificant, I'd say that Yerushalmi is pulling his "science" out of his nether orifice.
A proponent of the right-wing Israeli settlement movement, Yerushalmi has been condemned by the Anti-Defamation League for his bigoted views about Muslims as well as black people, immigrants and women. He’s argued that white people are “genetically superior” to black people, and provocatively stated that “there is a reason the founding fathers did not give women or black slaves the right to vote.”
