[QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [QB] [QUOTE]I recognise that Diop's ideas were ideas critical of the prevailing anthropology of the 1950s and 1960s. So here's what he writes on the origins of East Asians. In Civilization and Barbarisnm(Lawrence Hill, 1981) Diop writes on his diagramme on page 60: "Appearance of the Yellow race, 15,000 years ago at the very earliest, perhaps during the Mesolithic Age bordering on the Neolithic Age, resulting in the interbreeding of Black and White in the cold climate".[/QUOTE]^ Which we know is wrong, as the genes that make white people white did not exist 15 thousand years ago....and East Asians do not have those genes, therefore they can not be mixed with some ancient white race that did not exist. This notion is simply wrong, and to pretend that Caveli Sforza is supporting it, when he specifically states the contrary is dishonest of you. [QUOTE]Cavalli-Sforza had it somewhat different: Europeans showed approx. 60% Asian genes and 40% African genes[/QUOTE]^ tsk tsk Lamin. First you claimed that Sforza, *echoed* Diop, which is a lie. Now you claim Sforza had it *somewhat different*, which is dissembling. The issue you are addressing is whether 'yellow' skinned people are caused by mixture of black and white people. Diop says yes. Sforza says no. This is not echoing, this is not somewhat different. This is the second statement contradicting the former. Perhaps you you can pretend that 'yes and no' are also not antonyms. :rolleyes: Moreover Sforza goes further and states that Europeans of this time still had brown skin, see the article below. [i]"European ancestors were brown skinned"[/i] - Sforza ^ [IMG]http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/4784/eurospaleonlyrecentlypu0.jpg[/IMG] We have learned much about skin color, which contradicts Diops hypothesis - yellow skinned Asians are not a product of mixture of 'white' and 'black' races, period.
