[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: It is funny how white folks are so concerned about "Eurasians" in Africa thousands of years ago as if they really think Africa was overrun by white folks that far back in history, yet they ignore the proof of their own genetic history and being overrun by the same Eurasians and "Africans" in multiple waves. [/QUOTE]They do this, consciously or not, because Africa, generally being considered the "cradle of humanity", has an obvious importance in human biology, and so, designating lineages "non-African" or "Eurasian", even when there is no actual clear evidence to justify such classification policy, gives a certain importance or monopoly to "Eurasians" that they would not otherwise have in the biological development of modern humanity. Pagani et al. (2012) for example, yeah the folks cited here, gratuitously just divided genetic mtDNA markers into "African" and "non-African" on the grounds of hg L-types vs. the non-L types. This is the kind of "solid" science we are dealing with! Eurasians are given exclusivity/importance and are gratuitously appointed monopoly over certain groups of markers, even as it is acknowledged that those very markers derive from African ancestry, because Europeans see themselves as extensions of "Eurasians", hence the name "[b]Eur[/b]-Asians"--specially emphasizing Europe in the name, and would like to assign greater importance to themselves in a matter(s) than they otherwise actually deserve. If a whole group of lineages were not put in the exclusive domain of "Eurasians", then greater importance is attached to Africa....rather than Europe! [/QB][/QUOTE]
