[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] [QUOTE] Originally posted by The Explorer: When you are stupid enough to mistake a direct quote for "amnesia",[/QUOTE]When you’re stupid enough to not realize that ’’criticism[b]s[/b]’’ is in plural, and that it therefore includes your other criticism of Pagani et al as well, I’d say you not only have a pretty severe case of amnesia, but that the ‘stupid’ appellation fits you to a t. [QUOTE] Originally posted by The Explorer: you need a “source” to clue you, rather than from common sense--a “luxury” you clearly ought to seek out, in on?[/QUOTE]No source I see. Good boy. You realize that dating genes under selective pressure is commonplace, and you opted to bail out of citing a source that says ’’ it is almost next to impossible’’ to reliably date genes under selection. [QUOTE] Originally posted by The Explorer: I'd say the disappearance of the Yemenites and their subsequent replacement, [b]which you now simply term "demographic changes",[/b] is something to be surprised about. Where did they go; were they exterminated, migrate to another galaxy; what? [/QUOTE]I see your severe case of amnesia is coming up again. Let me put those misfiring and dementing neurones back on track again: your bizarre ’’disappearance’’ figment came out of nowhere, [b]after[/b] I told you that the said demographic changes occurred. If you then bizarrely think it bespeaks proper mental functioning to address this readily observable fact by going off on a tangent about intergalactic travel, that’s something [b]you[/b] have to deal with, perhaps with professional mental help--not me. [QUOTE] Originally posted by The Explorer: So, your understanding of a "fact" is act of saying something without the ability of offering its material foundation.[/QUOTE]The ‘fact’ bit that you’re talking about here, was originally meant to refer to post 3kya admixture events in Yemen. Are you saying that this is without material foundation? [QUOTE] Originally posted by The Explorer: the idea that "Semitic origins" is responsible for Ethiopian mtDNA, which you have no way of showing to be demarcated along linguistic lines, does NOT follow from the fact you were forced to acknowledge: that there is no such demarcation! [/QUOTE]The notion that that’s a non-sequitor only makes sense if mtDNAs necessarily travel with languages. Since that isn’t the case, it follows that you then must not make sense. [QUOTE] Originally posted by The Explorer: the idea that the alternative to the above, can only be to imagine different "Eurasian" groups introducing different "Eurasian" mtDNA "uniformly" into Ethiopian groups is not only profoundly stupid, it too does NOT follow from the fact you were forced to acknowledge: that there is no such demarcation![/QUOTE]Where your first statement would have been correct if the premise was correct (which it isn't), this here is a total figment of your imagination. I've never said anything about ''different Eurasian groups'' introducing ''different Eurasian mtDNA". No doubt a function of your degrading mental faculties. [QUOTE] Originally posted by The Explorer: is not only profoundly stupid[/QUOTE]What is profoundly stupid is that you embrace the Pagani et al's bit where they say that the Ethiopian component with questionable origins has more affinity with Levantines than Yemenites, with the intention of arguing against the Eurasian origin of Ethio-Semitic languages, even though the South Arabian linguistic clade would originally have Levantine ancestry, and hence, the Ethiopian component in Ethiopians would therefore not even need to be closer to Yemenite ancestry. Even that aside, relatively closer to Levantines than Yemenites is STILL Eurasian, and therefore, not inconsistent with this linguistic clade having origins in Eurasia. Beyond profoundly stupid. :eek: [/QB][/QUOTE]
