Erroneous E obvious hasn't proven his point about throwback traits in Europeans such as prognathism, broad noses, etc. He misquoted an obscure source on atavism and tried to use it to prove his point, but he hasn't quoted any direct source to prove his point about lower-case negroid traits[lolololol] in Europeans. Atavism has nothing to do with traits such as broad noses and prognathism. Atavism is the reappearance of traits in organisms that passed away through time and evolution. They are often called vestigal characters when they appear. Hear are some true examples of atavisms:
Many other famous examples of atavisms exist, including (1) rare formation of extra toes (2nd and 4th digits) in horses, similar to what is seen in the archaic horses Mesohippus and Merychippus, (2) atavistic thigh muscles in Passeriform birds and sparrows, (3) hyoid muscles in dogs, (4) wings in earwigs (normally wingless), (5) atavistic fibulae in birds (the fibulae are normally extremely reduced), (6) extra toes in guinea pigs and salamanders, (6) the atavistic dew claw in many dog breeds, (7) dental enamel in the beaks of birds, and (8) various atavisms in humans (one described in detail below) (Hall 1984). Primarily due to intense medical interest, humans are one of the best characterized species and many developmental anomalies are known. There are several human atavisms that reflect our common genetic heritage with other mammals. One of the most striking is the existence of the rare "true human tail" (also variously known as "coccygeal process," "coccygeal projection," "caudal appendage," and "vestigial tail"). More than 100 cases of human tails have been reported in the medical literature (Matsuo et al. 1993). Less than one third of the well-documented cases are what are medically known as "pseudo-tails" (Dubrow et al. 1988). Pseudo-tails are not true tails; they are simply lesions of various types coincidentally found in the caudal region of newborns, often associated with the spinal column, coccyx, and various malformations. In contrast, the true atavistic tail of humans develops from the most distal end of the embryonic tail found in the developing human fetus (Belzberg et al. 1991; Dao and Netsky 1984), and it is usually benign in nature (Dubrow et al. 1988; Spiegelmann et al. 1985). The true human tail is characterized by a complex arrangement of adipose and connective tissue, central bundles of longitudinally arranged striated muscle in the core, blood vessels, nerve fibres, nerve ganglion cells, and specialized pressure sensing nerve organs (Vater-Pacini corpuscles). It is covered by normal skin, replete with hair follicles, sweat glands, and sebaceous glands (Dao and Netsky 1984; Dubrow et al. 1988; Spiegelmann et al. 1985). True human tails range in length from about one inch to over 5 inches long (on a newborn baby), and they can move and contract (Dao and Netsky 1984; Lundberg et al. 1962). Although they usually lack skeletal structures, they have also been found with cartilage and multiple articulating vertebrae (Fara 1977; Matsuo et al. 1993). Caudal vertebrae are not a necessary component of mammalian tails; contrary to what is frequently reported in the medical literature, there is at least one known example of a primate tail which lacks vertebrae, as found in the rudimentary two-inch-long tail of Macaca sylvanus (the "Barbary ape") (Hill 1974, p. 616; Hooten 1947, p. 23). True human tails are rarely inherited, though familial cases are known (Dao and Netsky 1984; Standfast 1992). As with other atavistic structures, human tails are most likely the result of either a somatic or germline mutation that reactivates an underlying developmental pathway which has been retained in the human genome (Dao and Netsky 1984; Hall 1984; Hall 1995)." http://www.evcforum.net/RefLib/EvidencesMacroevolution2.html Where prognathisms and broad noses? I thought they are examples of atavisms in humans, why aren't they mentioned? As for vestigial characters, they are organs, ie; the human appendix, that have no function or srve no purpose. Erroneous E debunked once again. IP: Logged |

Thus atavism is the occasionial appearance of obselete traits and characters. Prognatism and broad noses are not examples of atavism another

quote: No idiot, you don't understand what atavism is about. I pointed it out to you and its amaing your brain still hasn't realised. Quoting verbatim from an article dealing with atavism in horses has nothing to do with what you're trying to establish. Unless you can quote a source that says that broad noses and prognathism in Europeans is due to atavism or is an example of atavism you have no case. IP: Logged |

quote: Prognathism is a primitive trait most common today in Negroids (hence the reference to it as a "negroid trait"), but it certainly isn't limited to sub-Saharan populations or indicative of black admixture. It occurs in most archaic hominids, and re-emerges periodically in modern humans.

An example of notable facial and alveolar prognathism in the case of a dark-haired, light-eyed Irishman. This feature is commoner with Irish of a tall Mediterranean type than with the Upper Palaeolithic strain proper.

Ausar, this sick troll of a person needs to have her posts deleted. This spamming of someone's pictures over the internet was done on the RAS forum sometime ago, which is why Said Mohammad no longer posts. If posts have nothing to do with the discussions in this forum they need to be deleted. [This message has been edited by Topdog (edited 09 May 2005).] IP: Logged |

quote: Using this logic, you might as well say that your teeth, your hair, your eyes et al. are all primitive traits, that have been present in human beings, since the arrival of this species. Prognathism is something rare in northern Europeans, because of the way they had to adapt to the new environment. So of course, the early Europeans would have carried traces of their tropical morphologies to their new environment. But the tropically adapted morphologies were more frequent in the likes of the Greek skulls that Angel examined. IP: Logged |

quote: Angel specifically states that the traits in question are due to admixture from Nubia, and not atavism in indigenous Europeans. atavism = just another straw argument and red herring meant to run away from the incontestible fact of Black African admixture in southern Europeans, as noted from Angel to Keita neither of whom have ever been refuted on this topic by any serious scholar.

quote: The explanation Angel gives for the presence of "negroid" traits can't of course be miscontriued, even if one tried to do so. My response was to the idea of "primitive" traits. Prognathism in the 'real' cold-adapted Europeans, is something of a rarity. Humans who were already tropically adapted, and remained in their tropical environment, or one similar to it, had no need to adapt further and hence, retained those traits. It has nothing to do with 'primitiveness'. The high frequency of the "negroid" traits found in the Angel's neolithic samples, were so, because (like Angel pointed out) of African admixture.

Incompetant troll Erroneous Euro can't present the requested evidence. Perhaps he, like "profesor" Horemheb, doesn't even understand the question? Let's help him.
Keita is currently Senior Research Associate at the National Human Genome Center at Howard University, Research Associate in the Department of Anthropology at the Smithsonian Institution, and a medical officer in the Department of Human Services of the District of Columbia government. He received his medical training at Howard University, a masters in general anthropology from SUNY-Binghamton, and the doctorate in biological anthropology from Oxford University Perhaps some ancient pagan Druid incantations can be invoked...raising Carleton Coon [and 18th century anthropology]from the dead, and he could debate with Keita? Actually no, I doubt it. What's taking so long? IP: Logged |

quote: Dishonest ape, Keita claims that "Angel also found evidence for a 'black'...genetic influence in neolithic and later Aegean populations." Angel never determined any such thing. He spoke only of "negroid nose and mouth traits", saying nothing about blacks or genetic influence. That's blatant misrepresentation by Keita.

Kenndo: Good post. Just have a laugh at Erroneous and his miserable predicament, and resultant ***SELF CHECKING*** remarks. He continues to sweat blood. - trying to explain away the Nubian ancestry, Benin Sickle cell, Sub Saharan African and West Asian Y chromosome, and heterogeneous skeletal remains of Ancient Greeks. This peoples introduced into Europe African and West Asian techniques of the Neolithic.
There are at least seven or eight maybe eleven to thirteen world regions which independently invented agriculture. None in Europe, by the way. Agriculture was invented in Africa in at least three centers, and maybe even four. In Africa, you find the earliest domestication of cattle. The location, the pottery and other materials we've found makes it likely that happened among the Nilo-Saharan peoples, the sites are in southern Egypt. - Professor Christopher Ehret, Historian, UCLA IP: Logged |
