According to Cavalli-Sforza, the genetic distance between the English and Greeks (204) is about the same as the average distance between Bantu groups (211). Thus, such a distance is statistically insignificant. More significant distances exist between the English and Japanese (1244), West Africans (1487), and Pygmies (2372).

In the following map of African genetic distances, we can see that the distances between E3b North Africans and E3a Sub-Saharan Africans are equivalent to those between white Englishmen and nonwhites, once again demolishing the Afro-myth of "Black Africans" linked by the PN2 clade. And of course, East African and Saharan groups occupy an intermediate position, reflecting their status as white/black hybrids.


Average Distances:

Among North Africans 182
Among East Africans/Saharans 200
Among Sub-Saharan Africans 166

Between North and Sub-Saharan Africans 1689
Between East/Saharan and North Africans 596
Between East/Saharan and Sub-Saharan Africans 529

According to Cavalli-Sforza Europeans are GENETICALLY INTERMEDIATE between Black Africans * East Asians.

Genes, peoples, and languages L. Luca Cavalli-Sforza

By Disney's ridiculous rhetoric and logic-free semantics.... wherein intermediacy on a genetic distance map somehow equates to hybrid, European whites are merely mongrel-hybrids of Black and Asian pure races.

quote:
Rightmire GP. Recent linguistic and archaeological findings are also reviewed, and these seem to support application of the term Nilotic Negro to the early Rift populations.

Prehistoric East Africans are not hybrids with whites because WHITES DO NOT EXIST in prehistoric East Africa. The highly variable genetic distances (as low as 135 in some cases) between different groups of Black Africans and the genetically intermediate nature of Euroepeans has NO BEARING whatsoever on this fact.

The classification of humans into races has proved to be a futile excercise, there are no objective reasons for splitting the human species into any lower taxonomic level.

In terms of genetic distance the greatest difference is between Africans and non Africans.

East Asian [including Black Melanesiasn] and Africans show the greatest genetic distance regardless of phenotype.

Europeans are intermediate between Africans and East Asians.

The genetic difference between Italians and British is 250% greater than the difference between the British and the Germans.

Although not homogeneous, the European landscape has been characterized by relatively short genetic distances between individual populations. Classic genetic markers have revealed a few clearly pronounced genetic outliers, such as the Greeks....

-Luigi Cavalli-Sforza [Italian, population geneticist.

To Rasol:

If genetic distance correlates strongly with geographical distance then possibly explain why the "greatest genetic distance exists between Africans and non-Africans" as C-Sforza claims. I believe was just being "ideologically correct" here. In fact, Y chromosome haplotype maps don't show that all-- given the data re Greek populations and other Southern Europeans.

And then there's the data qualifier which demonstates that Africa's populations are the most gentically diverse of all other populations. But again, it seems as if the orthodox researchers are reading something into the fact that world's continental masses actually meant something to humans as they trekked from place to place--no doubt in search of animals to hunt or fruit trees from which to gather fruit.

I imagine that geographical configurations would have significance only in the cases of small isolated islands(Pacific islands, Madagascar, etc. but humans did manage to reach them long after they separated from Asia proper) and the large continent island of Australia--and even New Zealand--given its peculiar fauna.

Indeed. You can do just about anything you want with genetic distance and treeness maps.

This map is also from C-Sforza:

quote:

This is the key point that intelligent persons need comprehend. The majority of the worlds genetic diversity is found within Africa.

Two populations of physically similar Africans may have very large genetic distances between them.

Or two populations may be genetically similar and appear physically distinct.

Since populations migrate geography doesn't necessarily tell the tale either.

Hence, genetic similarity between the West Africans of Mali and East of Africans of Egypt and Sudan may be as low as
135
(as is the case with the West African Touareg - and East African Beja) or much higher.

Thus genetic distance maps are easily made to apparently contradict each other, and they do NOT 'prove' the concept of race.

They certainly can't help Disney to fabricate a pre-historic East African white race which simply DOES NOT EXIST.

Nor will they make the facts of Black African ancestry in Southern Europeans go away.

Irrelevant and doesn't change the fact that North Africans are as unrelated to sub-Saharan Africans as Northern Europeans are. Your dream of a unified "Black Africa" based on haplogroup E has been shattered...again.

Ah, when EUROPEANS are mapped as intermediates.... intermediacy suddenly becomes irrelevant.. You're not even trolling at this point. You're just clowning. Pure comedy.

Poor, low-IQ slave -- can't understand the white man's science. Europeans are geographically located between Africans and Asians, and hence genetically intermediate. East Africans are located within "Black Africa" and therefore should cluster with other black Africans. They don't. They're intermediate between Africans and Eurasians. Deal with it.

And of course, none of this changes the fact you keep avoiding, that E3b North Africans are as unrelated to E3a Sub-Saharan Africans as Northern Europeans are.

Apparently you're still clowning. Either that or you are geographically illiterate.

Africa borders Asia.

Europe is a geographically remote part of Eurasia.

This is one reason why Europe was one of the last places on earth settled by modern African humans and a last hold out of primative Neanderthal man.

(Loring Brace actually believes Europeans are Hybrid with Neanderthal)

Hence Europe's genetic intermediacy remains just as relevant as any other form of "intermediacy"....if not MORE SO.

It's your EXCUSES that are irrelevant.

quote:
East Africans are located within "Black Africa"

Exactly. And it's about time you admitted as much. That is because East Africans are predominently Black, hence, the term Black Africa. East Africa is located between Northern and Southern Africa.

Which leads right back to what you're RUNNING AWAY FROM:

The gene flow FROM Black Africa TO Greece may have occurred in Pharaonic times or when Saharan people emigrated after the present hyperarid conditions were established (5000 years B.C.) -Arnaiz-Villena A et al

quote:
E3b North Africans

E3b is East African, which is in Black Africa, whose Natives are Black Africans. Are you getting any clearer on this, or are you still feigning denial? Doesn't matter, you ARE gradually admitting the truth, however bitter you may be about it.

quote:
therefore should cluster with other black Africans


Yes! East African Blacks and other Black Africans

But where are your pre-historic whites of East Africa? They don't exist do they? Why pretend otherwise? Just admit it and end your self inflected suffering.

Poor, low-IQ slave

Flame attacks expose your frustration in the face of your own ineptitude. Boring.

Slavery played a major role in ancient Greek civilization. . There may have been as many, if not more, slaves than free people in ancient Greece. It is difficult for historians to determine exactly how many slaves there were during these times, because many did not appear any different from the poorer Greek citizens. They were always supervised by the woman of the house who was responsible for making sure that all the slaves were kept busy and didn't get out of line. This could be quite a task as most wealthy Greek households had as many as 10-20 slaves. http://www.crystalinks.com/greekslavery.html

quote:

Dr Spencer Wells, Harvard evolutionary geneticist:

There is more genetic diversity in any single African village than in the whole world outside Africa, which proves that the world's entire non-African population must be descended from a relatively small sub-set of Africans. There isn't as much non African diversity because there wasn't much genetic material to begin with. But Africans are descended from a far larger population, providing greater genetic diversity. - South Africa Sunday Times.

EuroDisney, let us know when you learn how to think, and not just hate. Then we can have, an actual debate.

Europeans and Neanderthal, related....

It's a complex mosaic, which is what you get when you have a hybrid," Dr. Trinkaus said. "This is the first definite evidence of admixture between Neanderthals and European early modern humans." http://cogweb.ucla.edu/ep/Neanderthal.html

or not?

These results indicate that Neandertals did not contribute mitochondrial DNA to modern humans," says Dr. Mark Stoneking, associate professor of anthropology at Penn State. "Neandertals are not our ancestors

Ah, so you're finally backtracking in the face of overwhelming evidence. Yes, East Africans (Ethiopians and Somalis) are indeed "predominantly black", since 60% is more than half. But they're also significantly non-black, which explains why they place between Africans and Eurasians in genetic as well as skeletal analyses. Glad you're finally beginning to accept the truth.

And of course, North Africans (~70% E3b) are not black at all, which is why they're an average distance of 1689 from sub-Saharan Africans -- the same distance as Englishmen.

quote:

Posting that obviously bogus study over and over betrays your lack of any real evidence, and indicates that you're drowning and have nothing left to lose at this point. How sad.

Don't try and distort my comments Disney. I'll nail you every time.

Now...where are your pre historic whites of East AFrica?

Has nothing to do with 'race-purity', a discredited concept. Nigeria and South Africa are also predominently Black. There are whites who live in those countries too you know, silly - just not in prehistoric times. As always, you are pathetically attempting to distort the issue in order to evade answering the questions. Lame.

No pre-historic whites of East Africa = you have no argument.

Sorry Disney, but the conclusions quoted above are essentially accurate and have been independantly verified via Benin Hbs from West Africa and E3b from East Africa preponderant in modern day Greece and other parts of Southern Europe.

Naturally you are exasperated -

with a scientific community that has rejected your racist views.

with southern europeans who reject ethnocentric grandstanding.

with your Nordi-centric counterparts who draw the bogus race-purity apartheid line two inches in front of your nose, and then taunt you with it.

and with egyptsearch.com, because you've trolled your pet obsession for almost two months on this forum and have been exposed as a fraud in every single thread including this one.

No wonder you're frustrated.

Subject: Evil "E" and his Prehistoric East African Caucasoids

Issue: How To Maintain An Illogical Proposition.

Method: Utilize reason up to a certain point, then shift to a vague argument in a dishonest attempt to protect ones biased ideological premise.

Example: Claim that pre-historic East Africans were MOT Black or "Negroid", yet never describe what one means when utilizing these terms.

Best to make constructive contributions rather than giving others sanctimonous lectures.

Especially coming from someone who repeatedly respounds to Abaza's absolutely brain dead troll bait.
