[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: [QB] Quoting swenet: “This uniqueness comes from the accumulation of new mutations (which is how researchers come to the conclusion that large portions of their genome bespeaks prehistoric admixture events). This, however, does not mean that those new mutations cannot be assigned affinity to pre-existing DNA from surrounding parent populations.” The “accumulation of new mutations” is not sufficient to tell a person whether a haplotype is “prehistoric admixture” or not. Quoting lioness: “Anytime a region is defined soembody can take issue with it and say the ensuing analysis is flawed. The same question could be asked, why are West Africans separted from Horners. Why are Great Lakes Africans separated from Horners? Why make any category?” There is a difference between the act of defining with consistency, and defining out of arbitrary convenience. For instance, the usual habit of “westerners” to say that Sudan or Ethiopia are “North Africa”, but that western African territories on similar latitudes are deemed not, does not invoke objectivity or consistency. Western Africans are geographically “separated” from “Horners”, because well, the former are located on the western areas of the continent, and the “Horners” on the eastern area; who would have thought that this overly-obvious situation would be a stumper. Quoting lioness: “The reason why is that the North Africans of today are primarily comprised of people with ancestry from outside of Africa.” Is that the reason the lopsidedly-dominant male ancestry of “North Africans” is African?
