[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] [QUOTE] Originally posted by The Explorer: As for the incessant red-herring about “inconsistency”, not an issue; rather, it’s more [b]a matter of your conclusion not following the inbuilt logic of a certain fact which you are forced to acknowledge.[/b][/QUOTE]Typical. Denies that inconsistency is the issue, and then goes on to point out there is an inconsistency between my conclusion and ''a certain fact''. Again, what is this inconsistent about my conclusion and the fact that Cushitic and Semitic mtDNA profiles are similar? [QUOTE] Originally posted by The Explorer: See, for example, Genetic Evidence for the Convergent Evolution of Light Skin in Europeans and East Asians, courtesy Norton et al. 2006.[/QUOTE]Thought so. Your objection that SLC24A5 isn't ''unequivocally non-African'' is predicated on the existence of a few Africans here and there who carry the allele, which, if this bankrupt reasoning is applied across the board, no alleles have a single origin. After all, in this day and age, there is always some individual somewhere who carries a marker that isn't from that locale. [QUOTE] Originally posted by The Explorer: If so, post it! The ball is really in your court.[/QUOTE]You can't even justify your random invocation of the presence of ''relatively deep-rooted ancestry'' in Ethiopians, without further embarrassing yourself with a lame attempt to let others take the fall for a random claim you felt the need to interject--from out of nowhere. [QUOTE] Originally posted by The Explorer: Tell me how, a gene that is very likely under selective pressure, is a reliable candidate for solid dating?[/QUOTE]Genes under selective pressure are dated all the time. You provide no source that this is generally frowned upon, or seen as unreliable in academic circles, as expected. On top of that, the fact that your criticisms against Pagani et al are confused and incoherent is further indicated by the fact that the Ethiopian SLC24A5 alleles themselves weren't even dated by Pagani et al. [QUOTE] Originally posted by The Explorer: if their gene pool is from Semitic speakers of such ancestry, then their gene pool should be more similar to south Arabians than it does people north of the Arabian peninsula.[/QUOTE]Again, your reasoning is very confused, and sounds like something someone would say who is in the dark about demographic changes that have impacted Yemenites since the settlement of South Arabian speakers ~3kya. Note also that it isn't a given that the average Arabic speaking Yemenite, or even the modern descendants of the South Arabian speakers with which Ethio-Semitic languages form a clade within the Semitic family, retain the ancestry of this Semitic wave as well as modern Levantines have.
