[QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova: [QB] [b]3. Archeology and Linguistics have little to no bearing on analysis of genetic data[/b] This seems rather dubious- another strawman set up to later "refute" as to what the alleged "Afrocentrics believe"? Precisely what Eurocentric academics think Archeology and Linguistics have little to no bearing on analysis of genetic data? To the contrary they often try to shoehorn archaeology and linguistic data into their genetic constructs. Some of their attempt fail, but not for lack of trying. Cavalli-Sforza's Genes, People, Language is a classic example and he tried to work in archaeo and linguistic data aplenty. So where are these reputed "Eurocentrcs" who say it has "no bearing"? [b]So the second reason that Eurocentrics use genetics is to combat social ideological enemies that they consider are toxic to the legacy of African people; mainly Hebrew Isrealites and Moors. They use Genetic data to try to debunk the beliefs of these ideologues.[/b] Equally dubious. "Genetic data" is not needed to debunk notions about black "Hee-brew Israelites" originating in ancient West Africa. It doesn't even pass the smell test with basic historic and archaeo data. Likewise exactly what "genetic data" supposedly "combats" that some Moors were from North Africa and that among them were persons with common DNA markers found in African populations? XYZ's posted studies on the Iberian peninsula's profile on into the historic era confirm the case. So exactly what does alleged genetic data "combat" as to these two items? [b]Archeogenticists These are scholars that combine archeology and linguistics in genetics from an African centered prospective and seek to understand genetic data from the perspective of the original African blueprint of humanity. [/b] ^^This is shaky too for many so-called "archaeogenticists" are not operating from any African centered perspective, and are manipulating data and models to maintain stereotypical racial constructs. Cavalli-Sforza again is a classic example. He is a legit scholar with some credible info but also falls into certain stereotypical thinking traps. Some in this alleged stream of archaeogenetic thought are very Eurocentric. The article below debunks notions of "archaeogenticists" necessarily providing any more balanced treatment of Africa and Africans. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10768880 [i]Curr Anthropol. 2000 Jun;41(3):357-384. Genes, Tribes, and African History. MacEachern S. Abstract Over the past 40 years, traditional perspectives on the constitution of human groups have been subjected to stringent critique within anthropology. This began with the dismantling of accepted "race" divisions after World War II and continued with analyses of the meaning and reality of African "tribal" distinctions from the 1960s until the present. Archaeologists, ethnographers, linguists, and historians of Africa now work within a research milieu where social interactions, cultural exchange, and the dynamic nature of group identifications are accepted as a normal part of the human experience. At the same time, new techniques have been developed for the examination of human history, techniques based upon an expanding repertoire of tools for the analysis of genetic variability in human populations. Perhaps the most striking result of this research has been Cavalli-Sforza, Menozzi, and Piazza's The History and Geography of Human Genes. Rather less attention has been paid, however, to the conceptual relationships between the human groups defined through such analyses, in Africa and elsewhere, and those defined through other kinds of research. This paper is a preliminary examination of the fit between genetic, archaeological, and ethnographic data on the African past."[/i] [IMG]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7apday5zcAc/VLawuYJsPKI/AAAAAAAABSc/d-OsltIZ4Sk/s1600/researchproblems3.jpg[/IMG] ^^ANd there are plenty of archaeogenetic games being played with Africa and Africans..
