[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: ^Here he's saying that the closer genetic affinity the Ethiopian genetic component (see Pagani et al) has to Levantines, rather than Yemenites, is evidence that Ethio-Semitic languages have an African origin.[/QUOTE]Reading or using a brain is not your strength. So, let me straighten you up: It was [b]actually[/b] said that you source [b]bursts your south-Arabian origin[/b] copy-cat theory. Nothing mentioned on an "African origin" yet; your imagination is just messing with you. [QUOTE]Note, however, that evidence from the field of Linguistics (e.g., Kitchen et al 2009), as well as other fields (e.g., archaeology) have demonstrated that South Arabian and Ethio-Semitic languages are very recent arrivals from the area North of the Arabian peninsula, and so, that the Ethiopian genetic component in question shows more affinity with Levantines, rather than Yemenites, should be expected! Note the flow of Semitic languages from the Levant to Southern Arabia (map is from Kitchen et al 2009 [/QUOTE]Try actually reading the study, rather than making up fairy tale stories from cartoon, dumbass! Here is material from the said authors: "Kitchen A, Ehret C, Assefa S, Mulligan CJ. Department of Anthropology, PO Box 103610, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32610-3610, USA. The evolution of languages provides a unique opportunity to study human population history. The origin of Semitic and the nature of dispersals by Semitic-speaking populations are of great importance to our understanding of the ancient history of the Middle East and Horn of Africa. Semitic populations are associated with the oldest written languages and urban civilizations in the region, which gave rise to some of the world's first major religious and literary traditions. In this study, we employ Bayesian computational phylogenetic techniques recently developed in evolutionary biology to analyse Semitic lexical data by modelling language evolution and explicitly testing alternative hypotheses of Semitic history. We implement a relaxed linguistic clock to date language divergences and use epigraphic evidence for the sampling dates of extinct Semitic languages to calibrate the rate of language evolution. Our statistical tests of alternative Semitic histories support an initial divergence of Akkadian from ancestral Semitic over competing hypotheses (e.g. an African origin of Semitic). We estimate an Early Bronze Age origin for Semitic approximately 5750 years ago in the Levant, and further propose that contemporary Ethiosemitic languages of Africa reflect a single introduction of [b]early Ethiosemitic from southern Arabia approximately 2800 years ago[/b]." [QUOTE] It should be noted here that the migrations of South Arabian speakers depicted in the Arabian peninsula [b]post date[/b] the emergence of populations in (Southern) Arabia.[/QUOTE]That's a given, dummy. The so-called OOA peopling modern humans predates the origin of the Semitic branch. What you should be proving, rather, is your shifty insinuations about the South Arabian population, that supposedly gave rise to Ethiopian elements, having been replaced! [QUOTE]The evidence for this comes from archaeology, uniparental lineages, [b]ancient texts[/b] that confirm the presence of populations in Southern Arabia prior to 3kya[/QUOTE]What ancient texts are we talking about, and what do they say about South Arabian populations? [QUOTE]--The Explorer Yet, look where another reminder (how many reminders can one need for the fact the penetrate) of mine that the term 'South Arabian speakers' does not equal 'aboriginal Southern Arabian', takes us[/QUOTE]You are too dirt-stupid to even realize that you are the only one here, ever, to speak of "south Arabian [b]speakers[/b]". The reference to some supposed "aboriginal south Arabians" is utterly immaterial, a stupid diversion actually, as the discussion is about some supposed [b]south-Arabian[/b] origin for Ethio-[b]Semitic[/b] languages...which dunce, would make the [b]"Semitic"[/b]-speaking south Arabians (around by the supposed 3kya date) the relevant subject here. Now, you are shifty, but you have been toying with population replacement in south Arabia. Prove it! [QUOTE] Talk about being a brick headed lunatic. [/QUOTE]I'd say let's talk about that some time, but to have that talk, you'd have to actually be [b]smarter than[/b] a brick...which you are undoubtedly not. :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
