[QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: There are many linguist who support the existence of a genetic relationship between Dravidian and African languages. [/QUOTE]^ literally this is an oxymoron -ie 'genetic' relationship between languages. Let us ignore your slippery language and cut to the chase. The general concensus is: Dravidian is an Indian and not and African language. Dravidians do not originate in Africa. There have never been Dravidians in Africa. Dravidian ancestors have lived in Asia for 10's of thousands of years - far predating the divergence of Dravidian language and culture. Nothing you have ever presented has had any impact on this concensus, nor should it, as you combine faulty linguistic methodology, obsolete anthropology references, and genetic illiteracy, which is ironic given your foundess for claiming 'genetic' relationships between linguistically distant languages. [/qb][/QUOTE]If this is true why don't you present research disputing the findings of the authors I posted. . [/qb][/QUOTE]Because I don't chase strawmen. Here, i'll show you what i mean. You ask, if this is true? What is "this"? Could it be.... a) There have never been Dravidians in Africa. b) Dravidian ancestors have lived in Asia for 10's of thousands of years. ^ This is per geneticist Kivisild, who is one of your "sources." Your sources don't agree with you. What do you want me to refute then? Your *utterly baseless* claims? Then let's get back to specifics > * Good luck finding African Dravidians. * Good luck explaining why Dravidians have 40 thousand year old Asian lineages, and no African lineages, when they are supposed to have been living in the 'sahara' during Dyanastic Egypt, that is before they [b]mysteriously and completely disppeared[/b] from Africa, leaving not a single archeology site behind to evidence what you insist upon as their origin. Of course, you can always post bibligraphic citations from scholars who don't agree with you, and pretend it's a mass of support for your far fetched claims. Since you have no actual evidence for African Dravidians, what choice do you have but to make fake claims? But that is charlatanism, not scholarship. :rolleyes: [/QB][/QUOTE]
