[QUOTE]Originally posted by lamin: [QB] [QUOTE][b] quote:Originally posted by the lioness,: - The maternal ancestry of Ethiopians is similarly diverse. About half (52.2%) of Ethiopians belongs to mtdna Haplogroups L0, L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, or L6. These haplogroups are generally confined to the African continent. They also originated either in Ethiopia or very near. The other portion of the population belong to Haplogroup N (31%) and Haplogroup M1 (17%).[24] There is controversy surrounding their origins as either native or a possible ancient back migration into Ethiopia from Asia. Passarino et al. 1998 suggested that: "Caucasoid gene flow into the Ethiopian gene pool occurred predominantly through males. ( YDNA J ) Conversely, the Niger–Congo contribution to the Ethiopian population occurred mainly through females" (parenthesis added) [/b][/QUOTE]Of course, all of this is Eurocentric nonsense--dressed up in phony pseudo-scientific mumbo jumbo. Genuine scientific theories are founded on terms that are precisely defined[ think, say, of the definition of "mass" in physics]. In this connection the term "caucasoid" is a nonsensical pseudo-scientific term concocted frivolously by a traipsing German MD by the name of Johann Blumenbach. Blumenbach stupidly assumed that the "perfect" skull of some individual found in the Caucasus mountains should sent some kind of standard for human "racial" classification. Sheer stupidity. Anyway, this kind of thinking was way back in the 18th century when it was assumed that malaria, for example, was caused by bad air. Another example of palpable Eurocentric stupidity is the slick categorization of some languages as "Afro-Asiatic". Before the coinage of "Afro-Asiatic" there were the assumed to exist the distinct language classifications of "Hamitic" and "Semitic"--after the Biblical Ham and Shem. The language of the Ancient Egyptians was classified as Hamitic while Arabic was considered Semitic. In a slick Eurocentric move the 2 language groups were combined into Hamitico-Semitico then into "Afro-Asiatic". The point is that with the discrediting of the Hamitic hypothesis, "Hamitic" should have become one of the language branches of Africa--in other words, Ancient Egyptian would have become just another African language but Eurocentrism would have none of that--hence the need to concoct the phony language grouping of "Afro-Asiatic". The usual "old wine in new bottles". Time for a new paradigm shift that would conform better to reality. Just start with discarding the nonsense terms of "caucasoid" and "Afro-Asiatic". [/QB][/QUOTE]
