[QUOTE]Originally posted by MindoverMatter718: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by JarHed: [qb] While I'm new here I must say it comes as no surprise to me that the Hofmeyr skull shows some similarity to an early European. Early Europeans came from the ancient Africans of 30 to 40 thousand years ago, [/qb][/QUOTE]Correct. But remember, just because they didn't resemble the Khoisan and Bantu groups tested, doesn't mean they didn't resemble any Africans at all, as some might want you to believe. This is because Khoisan and Bantu do not represent all of Africa phenotypically, since Africa is home to the largest diversity genetically, and phenotypically, hence them not resembling the said Africans is not surprising either. As anthropologists Chris stringer already denoted here..... [i]Early Europeans still resembled modern tropical peoples -> some resemble modern Australian and Africans, more than modern Europeans [C. Stringer, R. McKie 1996] "Nor does the picture get any clearer when we move on to the Cro-Magnons, the presumed ancestors of modern Europeans. Some were more like present-day Australians or Africans, judged by objective anatomical observations..." - African Exodus Christopher Stringer and Robin McKie 1996[/i] [QUOTE]Originally posted by JarHed: [qb] and I do not believe that Africans have simply stopped evolving, so it makes sense to me that the skull possesses traits similar to early Europeans that are no longer common among Modern Africans. [/qb][/QUOTE]Indeed, and the closest population noted to retain the most primitive morphology when comparing to early humans would be Oceanic's, such as Australians and Melanesian's. Anatomically modern humans have been evolving in Africa for at least 200,000 years, these earliest humans needed to posses modern human characteristics in order to be considered anatomically modern humans, as noted by numerous anthropologists these early Africans from over 100, 000 years ago were anatomically modern human, hence do in fact resemble moderns. Note; [i]"From the size of the preserved bones, we estimated that Omo I was tall and slender, most likely around 5'10" tall and about 155 pounds," University of New Mexico anthropologist Osbjorn Pearson, who co-authored at least two of the new papers, told Discovery News. Pearson said another, later fossil was also recently found. It too belonged to a "moderately tall -- around 5'9" -- and slender individual." "Taken together, the remains show that these early modern humans were...much like the people in southern Ethiopia and the southern Sudan today," Pearson said.[/i] So my point is that for those nonsensical fabricators trying to say early Africans somehow evolved a different generalized phenotype for 190,000 years and then all of a sudden turned to how they looked today in the same environment, is bogus. Basically, these early Africans were simply primitive versions of the modern inhabitants evolving in the same environment, and progressively became more modern, the ones who've actually evolved extremely from this phenotype are those who hate Africans the most, but simply cant escape this reality because evidence always points back in the same direction which is Africa.
