[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dead: [QB] [URL=http://olmec98.net/Skeletal.htm]Skeletal Evidence of African Olmecs[/URL] By Dr. Clyde A. Winters Virtually nothing Clyde writes in the above article is true and he distorts [URL=http://www.archeo.uw.edu.pl/swarch/Swiatowit-r1972-t33-s143-174.pdf]Wiercinski (1972)[/URL]. Firstly Clyde states: "There were 38 males and 62 female crania in the study from Tlatilco and 18 males and 7 females from Cerro". Yet Wiercinski's individual typological analysis [which Clyde later quotes] only used 63 skulls. The rest were in bad condition to take measurements. So of these 63 skulls Wiercinski of the Polish Comparative-Morphological School carried out an individual typological and type-component analysis (using Michalski's 'halving-method') of 52 skulls from Tlatilco and 11 from Cerro de las Mesas. Here is his breakdown of those (my diagram): [IMG]http://en.metapedia.org/m/images/d/d2/Wiercinskitable.jpg[/IMG] Wiercinski, A. (1972). "An Anthropological Study on the Origin of Olmecs". Swiatowit. 33. pp. 143-174. First thing to note, is that contrary to Clyde who writes: "Wiercinski found African skeletons", [b]not one[/b] of the "race types" is African. Wiercinki's "Pacific-Equatorial", Laponoid-Equatorial", and "Armenoid-Bushmenoid" in his own words: "reflect [a] phenotypically complex of traits of the White or Black variety" but which have no biological basis whatsoever: "It should be remembered that the results of this racial analysis based on the applications of the principles of the Polish Comparative-Morphological School with its distinctive and refined individual typology [b]detached of any social, ethnic, linguistic or geographic division of mankind[/b] — are hardly comparable with the raciological studies of other anthropologists." Clyde is too dumb to understand that the Polish "race types" of the Polish Comparative-Morphological School were not biological. So you could find any of the "types" in [i]any[/i] population. You could find a Zulu being labelled "Nordic" by Wiercinski, lol. [/QB][/QUOTE]
