[QUOTE]Originally posted by lamin: [QB] It escapes most people that geographical labeling derives from constructions whether arbitrary or not. But such labeling cannot work for purportedly scientific anthropology. Humans have traveled to all parts of the globe in search of habitat territory, tracking hunt animals, escaping from droughts, etc. Naive readers are often put off by claims that population X has genomic inputs not only from region X but also from region Y, without recognising that region Y is but a geographical continuation of region X. The point is that when humans migrate their evolutionary status is determined not by some arbitrarily imposed geographical boundary condition but by more meaningful considerations such as bottlenecks, founder effects, genetic drift, assorted mating[as in the case of close-kin matings, etc.]. Most of the above variables are determined by ease of movement--as in whether movement is restricted by terrain such as mountains, water(seas, oceans, rivers, etc.), forests, deserts, extreme cold, etc. Thus, in this context terms like "African", "non-African", "Eurasian", "Asian", "sub-Saharan", etc. really don't make sense. The optimal analysis should be conducted purely in terms of genomic structures determined by sex and autosomal chromosome analysis. Eurocentric analysis is a major offender in this regard.
