[QUOTE]Originally posted by Archeopteryx: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Antalas: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Archeopteryx: [qb] The point is that the HIrisPlex-S is not always so exact in its color predictions. So when it says dark_black we do not always know exactly what it means in real life. Also that the picture of the arm falls into todays variation of colors in North Africa. And Karitianas are a bit varied in skin color, some a bit lighter some a bit darker. [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/wsZHKnF/Karitianas.jpg[/IMG] [/qb][/QUOTE]I am not surprised, and indeed it falls into the variation we see today among North Africans, but that maestro wants you to believe that "dark to black" necessarily implies that our ancestors were significantly darker than us and then often feign to be "stating the objective fact" without any nuance, despite the clear understanding that the category itself is excessively broad and ambiguous. On a side note, I have observed that many African Americans rely solely on skin color to assess kinship. This is why you often see them fixating on it and disregarding other important factors such as Autosomal, Uniparental, or morphological data. It is amusing how many of them approach me with the "IBM were dark-skinned" as if it would somehow make them more closely related or similar to African Americans. Some individuals even go to the extent of claiming Indian or Negrito heritage based solely on dark skin color. This is why you can't discuss with those people. They're simply trying to insert themselves everywhere for acceptance and appropriating our ancestors/History. [/qb][/QUOTE]Yes I noticed that some African Americans seem to want to claim all sorts of ancient cultures like Olmecs, Minoans, Etruscans, ancient Israelites and even Chinese. Not all do that of course, but online there is a loud minority who make the most fantastic claims. I have Native American friends who have had some encounters with those type of peoples, and even been harrassed and received threats by the most fanatical ones. [/QB][/QUOTE]
