[QUOTE]Originally posted by DD'eDeN: [QB] Comment by Heather Twist @ AAT: "I also kind of wonder if the cave people really WERE dark. Yes, the men in the paintings were dark. But also, the paintings were likely symbolic, and the men could have also been gods or spirits. The people in the pictures were also naked, but the cave people had clothes, and the climate was awfully cold for running around naked. Also in the pictures are beings that are colored with white pigment, though they don't seem very human. Now, for the Neanderthals, they have DNA. And apparently the DNA shows that the Neanderthals were light-skinned and red-haired. Also a bit chunky, though how they figured that I'm not sure (you can tell something about fatness from bones I think). Do they have DNA for the cave people? Seems like they do, but they ones I found are of lineages that are ancestors of non-Europeans, oddly enough. http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-19423147 http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2012/03/120314-new-human-species-chinese-plos-science-red-deer-cave/ The other odd thing is that the cave people made pictures (presumably of themselves) cartoon form. These are oddly modern in look. But whatever color their skin is, the drawings are clearly NOT negroid. They do not have curly hair nor flat wide noses. In fact, the noses are more like a probiscus monkey than like a modern European's. http://www.ancient-wisdom.co.uk/caveart.htm (scroll down a couple of pages) Also, the drawings clearly show women as being quite fat. .................. But then, just to make it more interesting ... it looks as though perhaps the "light skin gene" actually was imported into Europe from somewhere near India and the Middle East! Which makes you wonder. Certainly there is no lack of sun there. It IS around the area where wheat cultivation started though. http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-29213892 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2535288/Light-skin-colour-Europeans-stems-ONE-ancestor-lived-India-Middle-East-10-000-years-ago.html And blue eyes may have originated totally separately, and maybe in Europe. This guy looks more like the sketches of the cave dwellers. Maybe the blue eyes were more of a darkness adaptation: http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/01/dna-test-of-7000-year-old-tooth-overturns-popular-image-of-light-skinned-european-hunter-gatherers/ Blue eyes see better in the dark than brown eyes, but have a harder time in bright light. So people who lived in caves for tens of thousands of years ... blue eyes makes sense! " [/QB][/QUOTE]
