Yes idiot, the Hamitic Hyothesis was and has been long debunked, only idiots like you and the like hold on to such nonsense to promote lies. Ever heard on Joseph Greenberg? through linguistics he just about debunked the entire Hamitic Hypothesis, need more? Read this paper it has a part in there about the Hamitic hypothesis. http://www.linguistics.ucla.edu/people/schuh/Papers/language_and_history.pdf
quote:Exactly, because you've been proven wrong by Aleksandra Pudlo, Anthropological Review, 1999.
Wrong, Pudlo simply uses the hamitic Hypothesis once again to explain diversity in Nubia, there is no genetic evidence of outside populations pouring into Nubia, nor is there any arhaeological material evidence for this. The only idiot who cites Pudlo is you, I wonder why that paper isn't widely cited by others?

Its impossible to debate you because you run from evidence and you post none either. Its amazing you call what Thought says racist, though it comes from peer-reviewed journals, yet you call outdated discredited Eurocentrism mainstream and correct, despite the obvious racists overtones. You are a troll.

bull crud TopDog....a racist is someone who is consumed by race and most of you guys are. Guys like thought and rasol arrive at a political position and then go out and dig up information, often from radical sources, to back that point up. They are not interested in facts, just support for their anti capitalist, anti western views. When you get down to the core all you will find is a dirty little radical. Its just a spin machine Top Dog and you, my friend, are one of their suckers.

Of course, Neolithic Caucasoid lineages are part of Europe's genetic structure. Germans have ~10% J/E3b and ~17% Neolithic mtDNA. Last time I checked, they were European. And so are all the other Northern Europeans with Neolithic ancestry -- just like their Southern counterparts.

Dr. Sonia Zakrzewski. Department of Archaeology, University of Southampton, UK.
Previous studies have compared biological relationships between Egyptians and other populations, mostly using the Howells global cranial data set. In the current study, by contrast, the biological relationships within a series of temporally-successive cranial samples are assessed.
The data consist of 55 cranio-facial variables from 418 adult Egyptian individuals, from six periods, ranging in date from c. 5000 to 1200 BC. These were compared with the 111 Late Period crania (c. 600-350 BC) from the Howells sample. Principal Component and Canonical Discriminant Function Analyses were undertaken, on both pooled and single sex samples.
The results suggest a level of local population continuity exists within the earlier Egyptian populations, but that this was in association with some change in population structure, reflecting small-scale immigration and admixture with new groups. Most dramatically, the results also indicate that the Egyptian series from Howells global data set are morphologically distinct from the Predynastic and Early Dynastic Nile Valley samples (especially in cranial vault shape and height), and thus show that this sample CANNOT BE CONSIDERED to be a typical Egyptian series.
Unfortunately for him, Erroneous has long since lost all credibility, so his efforts to distort information invariably end with his own humiliation:

These results suggest that Fordisc 2.0 cannot accurately identify the biological affinity of ancient Nubian crania.

I have read the entire paper NO WHERE in this paper does it state that East Africa was non-tropical. It states that the tropics were COOLER.

kenya-around 35 million tanzania-41 million sudan-around 43 million as we know most black africans in kenya,sudan and tanzania are still unmixed blacks so this is clear and there is no debate here ,now let's move on.
now-ethiopia-68 or 69 million djibouti-less than 500,000 or 600,000 somalia-around 9 to maybe 10 million eritrea-less 5 million
now do the math evil dummy.
By the way not everybody in ethiopia and somalia have some form of mixture (AND SINCE you are using hybrid-meaning really half of something or close to it in my mind)
and if most do in ethiopia or somalia it did not happen over night it would have taken time in the past,but if everyone did have some form of mixture or in this case 50% or close to 50% non african admixture in those two states they would still be negriod or black,and most of them still look like black africans just like most russians or most folks from spain still look white.
by the way in my mind mix means half of something,some mixture means less or not half and the meaning -some form of mixture could be anywhere in my mind from 50% to 1% of something.
FULL-blooded whites are not even really full bloods so it never made sense to me when someone says they are half black and half white if that black person was unmixed.
The real meaning of that would mean someone that has one parent of a different race and that persons childern keeps on having childern with someone with that type of background as well unless you take this to another level and say ,well somE whites could be 100.8% full-blooded but not 100.9% full-blooded like really full-blooded blacks but this talk would be on another level if you do it in this type of scale so i will stop here.

But it's not a question of "cooler than other regions of the tropics". It's a matter of cooler than present regions of the tropics.

Straw man. Who says you have to come from a "refuge" to be European/Caucasoid? Anyway, ~67% of the Greek genome is of non-Neolithic origin. Germans are a bit more (~85%) but still not descended entirely from the three refuges you mentioned. Your "argument" is going nowhere.

Kenndo, you are correct, but as we discussed earlier....the Cushite speaking populations such as the Borano of Kenya are the oldest East African groups.
The Bantu speaking groups such as the Kikuyu of Kenya are relatively recent migrants into East Africa from West Africa.
the peopling of East Africa was carried out by three main African groups: the Cushitic-speaking peoples; the Nilotic-speaking peoples; and lastly, the Bantu-speaking peoples....ancestors of most present-day East Africans– the Black Africans. - Dr. Elisabeth Dunstan and David Hall
The present day numbers of each group, are not relevant because we are discussing events that took place before the Bantu migrated into the area.
This can be a difficult point to relate, just like it's difficult to relate the Nilo-Saharan African base of ancient Nubia before the Arabs.
It is the ancestors of the Oromo, Borana and other early East African groups who migrated down the Nile and into the West Asia, NorthWest Africa and Greece.
The result is that the Ancient Greeks, instead of being descendant entirely from native ICE-Age refuge populations of Europe, were actually descendant from a diverse blend of European whites, West Asians and Black Africans.
This is why the Greeks to this day, have Benin HBS - a genetic trait that is inherited specifically from Black Africa:
And this is why nearly 1/4 of Greek paternal heritage is traceable to Black Africa, 1/4 to West Asia, and less than 50% specifically to Europe.
The ancient Greeks and therefore so called "Western" civilisation are of 'mixed' origins.
Modern scholarship acknowledges this.
As for Erroneous/Dienekes & co:
All the fake maps and phony fanfare to the contrary are the result of a sub-intellectual propaganda campaign, which they actually take seriously, but is a pitiable joke to educated folk.
