[QUOTE]Originally posted by Alive-(What Box): [QB] Wow, somebody's actually endorsing the guy's rediculous post? :confused: Oh, it's just Wolofi, no surprise there. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Chimu: [qb] Hmmmmm... No common ancestors in East Africans and the Near East? No admixture? [/qb][/QUOTE]You [i]do[/i] realize that your context was different from my context, right? I was only quoting what the authorities had to say about [i]ancient[/i] Egyptians, not modern-day Ethiopians. Even so, I am befuddled as to how anyone could fall for a 'study' that assigns [b]genes[/b] that [b]didn't[/b] arise in the Caucasus or in European people to a [b]'caucasian race'[/b]. A sign some folks clearly want to have something to do with stuff they had little to do with. From [URL=http://www.ebc.ee/EVOLUTSIOON/publications/Kivisild2004.pdf]this[/URL] study: "[i]Approximately one-half of both Ethiopian (52.2%) and Yemeni (45.7%) mtDNA lineages belonged to clades [b]specific to sub-Saharan Africa[/b], whereas the other half was divided between derived subclades [b]of haplogroupsMand N[/b] that are, with the exception of M1 and U6 lineages, more common outside Africa.[/i]" - Kivisild 2004 Concerning M and N, to put things in perspective, from a study in 2006 we have: [i]"Although two mtDNA lineages with [b]an African origin (haplogroups M and N)[/b] were the progenitors of all non-African haplogroups, [b]macrohaplogroup L (including haplogroups L0-L6) is limited to sub-Saharan Africa.[/b][/i]" - [URL=http://mbe.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/24/3/757#SEC3]Tishkoff and Kivisild 2006[/URL] So calling the genetic 'fathers' of all non-African lineages [i]caucasian[/i] - influenced is more than a bit dis-ingenuous. In fact: [QUOTE][i][b]Caucasian 1.[/b] adj. Of or being a purported human racial classification traditionally distinguished by light [/i][?][i] to brown skin color [/i][?][i] and including peoples indigenous to Europe, N Africa, W Asia, and India. [b]Not in scientific use.[/b] [b]2.[/b] Of the Caucasus. n. [b]1.[/b] Anthro. A member of the Caucasian racial classification. [b]2.[/b] A native inhabitant of the Caucasus.[/i][/QUOTE]The Caucasus is a mountain region. There's more: [QUOTE][i][b]Caucasoid[/b] adj. Of or relating to the Caucasian racial classification. [b]Not in scientific use.[/b][/i][/QUOTE]But most laymen will continue to do what they're free to: ;) [b]that is believe what they want to believe in[/b] regardless of factual basis or lack thereof.
