[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] ^ I think the question really is what are they accurate about. Clearly their findings on Egyptian STRs shows relation to Africans further south, but what I am skeptical about are their labels. Look how they label and divide African populations. [IMG]http://www.dnatribes.com/images/regions-dec2009-web.jpg[/IMG] Notice that although Egypt is in North Africa, it is classified as part of the Levant. And again I question what they mean by 'Arab'. And this is the type of Eurocentric racist b.s. I was referring to earlier. :o [QUOTE]Originally posted by Anglo_PrimeIdiot: [qb] Bushmen (Capoids) are genetically distinct despite being surrounded by Bantu Negroids.[/qb][/QUOTE]And exactly how are they genetically distinct? Some Khoisan (Bushmen) carry PN2 (E) lineages associated with other Sub-Saharan Africans. In fact the form found among the Khwe is underived ancestral E1b1b*! [IMG]http://www.thegeneticatlas.com/E1b1b1.png[/IMG] Not to mention the fact that most of the clades found among Khoisan are the oldest-- A and B clades-- which are also found among Pygmies, Ethiopians, and Sudanese peoples. So where pray-tell is the genetic distinction? Funny how you separate so-called 'Bantu-negroids' and 'Capoids' into two separate races yet you group 'Nordic', 'Alpine', and 'Mediterranean' Euros into the same race despite their differences. [QUOTE][qb]So no, Africans are not close genetically related. You then have genetically distinct Caucasoid populations in the north and east of Africa.[/qb][/QUOTE]Yeah genetically distinct to so-called 'true negroids' yet genetically related to Europeans, right? So North African Siwa Berbers and East African Somalis despite both being black natives of Africa are more related to Europeans than they are to other Africans. Sure thing. ;) [QUOTE][qb]Scientists find great genetic differences among southern Africans http://articles.latimes.com/2010/feb/18/science/la-sci-african-genomes18-2010feb18 The genomes of Bushmen and Negroids are poles apart... [/qb][/QUOTE]I take it you didn't even read the article did you? And if you did, you obviously did not comprehend what was stated. In fact nowhere did that article contradict anything I said in regards to differences NOT equating to no relations. From the article your cited: "[i]Two Bushmen from different tribes living within walking distance of each other can have greater genetic differences than a European and an Asian, according to the study published in Thursday's edition of the journal Nature.[/i]" So by your twisted logic these two Bushmen who live within walking distance have no relation to each other then or at least as much as between a European and Asian! [b]LOL[/b] :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
