[QUOTE]Originally posted by homeylu: [QB] Originally osted by Neo*geo [b]If you're only out to prove that blacks lived inCanaan, fine, no one can argue with that but if you're trying to prove the Canaanites were black you better have some damn good sources[/b] These sources are based on historical accounts of people that were living during those periods, and written on scrolls. As Wally just pointed out, the Bible is a collection of books, some of the accounts can be interpreted literally, some not. And as I posted earlier, there have been several scientific and archaeological findings that correspond to Biblical events, yet you didnt respond to the specific ones listed, interesting. Rather you believe in evolution or creation is up to you, but most evolution theories are based on just that "theories", until proven as scientific facts. And many of those can also be deemed inconclusive, since there is ALWAYS disagreement between how evidence is interpreted by different scientists. Originally posted by neo*geo [b]DNA is not a reliable substitute for anthropological evidence.[/b] This makes absolutely no sense, since anthropologist rely heavily on DNA samples extracted from skeletons, and further there are 3 areas of anthropology, Genetic Anthropolgy, Physical Anthropology, and Cultural Anthropology, and each area study human origins from different angles. So DNA is not a substitute for Anthropology, its a part of anthropology. Originally posted by Neo*Geo [b]Due to the fact that Jews have been extremly migrant over the past few millenia and have a pretty diverse cocktail of genotypes and phenotypes, I think it's impossible to trace their origins based on DNA alone.[/b] This is the most absurd statement that you've made yet. Do you think a skeleton could tell you if a person is Jewish, of course not. DNA so far has been the ONLY reliable source to distinguish Jewish populations from non-jewish populations, as the CMH gene that I have been referring to all this time, is not found in all the populations they settled among. DNA is one of the most reliable sources in the scientific community in identifying people. Its like our biological fingerprints. I.e. I'm a descendant of an African slave, and thanks to DNA evidence, not only can I trace my roots to Africa, but I can trace my roots to the [b]specific tribe[/b] my ancestors belonged to. Now could any PHYSICAL anthropology accomplish that? I doubt it, for it would only "box" me in as another "negroid" from the hundreds of tribes found in Africa. [/QB][/QUOTE]
