[QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [QB] [QUOTE]Note that we did not find many genes with signatures of natural selection on the West African branch and [b]thus no clear indication that the West Africans have gotten darker since their separation from the East Asians and Europeans[/b][/QUOTE]^ Exactly. Indeed, the relevant separation is not between East Asian and Europeans on the one hand and "West" Africa on the other, but rather between Africans and non Africans, and subsquently between East Asians and Europeans. European depigmentation is the recent adaptive response. Black skin is the original underived state. [QUOTE]Good questions, clearly, but there is not data yet to even let us speculate intelligently. [/QUOTE]^ NICE TRY, but you are misrepresenting again. That is actually a response to Frank Sweets [b]faulty assertion[/b] that West Africans grew darker recently, for which he begs for corroboration that does not exist. "no clear indication that the West Africans have gotten darker" = no basis for Frank Sweets phony claims. It is Sweets, and you, whose remarks are rooted in unintelligent speculation, and who are so debunked by the facts. As usual. [/QB][/QUOTE]
