[QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [QB] [QUOTE] Dr. Richard G. Klein, a paleoanthropologist at Stanford, said that it was hard to correlate the specific gene changes in the three populations with events in the archaeological record, but that the timing and nature of the changes in the East Asians and Europeans seemed compatible with the shift to agriculture. Rice farming became widespread in China 6,000 to 7,000 years ago, and agriculture reached Europe from the Near East around the same time. Skeletons similar in form to modern Chinese are hard to find before that period, Dr. Klein said, and there are few European skeletons older than 10,000 years that look like modern Europeans. [/QUOTE]This is all hog wash. First of all there are no skeletons of modern Chinese dating to 10,000 years. The earliest Mongoloid people in China and elsewhere were the Indonesian/Filipino type.The contempory Chinese are decendants of the Zhou who did not arrive in China until after 1700 BC. There are no contemporary European that are anologous to the Old Europeans (c.4000-3500 BC) let alone, related to Grimaldi and Cro-Magnon (another African type) skeletons dating to 10,000 BC. Moreover, as pointed out in a recent news story the ancient Europeans and contemporary Europeans have different genes and do not show continuity. The skeletal evidence for Asians and Europeans do not go back to 10000 BC, therefore the conclusions of this paper are unfounded. This paper is propaganda. Even if there were Indo-European speakers at 10,000 BC these people were nomadic and failed to practice agriculture at this early date. . [/QB][/QUOTE]
