[QUOTE]Originally posted by Truthcentric: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Tukuler: [qb] How can Cavalli-Sforza not matter when my explicit intent is to examine his statement re what he based it on? You are the one trying to get to the bottom of if it is right or not. In other words side stepping precisely what I asked for. All human populations not living in isolation areadmixed. No. Europeans are not 2/3 ancestral Chinese and 1/3 ancestral European. I understood your interest but it was not the same as mine. I dug up exactly what I asked for, the full context of the statement. Today I posted full genome raw data that nowhere graphs any Europeans as 2/3 ancestral Chinese and 1/3 African no matter which K level is viewed. C-S made that statement 20 years ago and I doubt he holds it today. Why? Even way back in 1999 he made it known [list] [*][i]"This is a book that, five or 10 years from now, will have to be rewritten, analyzing the new data -- I hope." [/i] [/list] Of course I will revisit any and every genetic topic of my fancy as new more up to date data and methodologies become available. Anyway you are perfectly welcome to present an interpretive deconstructionist argument refuting the graphs or to present other graphs or other raw data with clear components or numbers showing Europe is 2/3 ancestral Chinese and 1/3 ancestral African. We all know of African and so-called SW Asian contributions to the formation of the European people but the bulk of their genome is derived [i]in situ[/i] which is why they at K=3 already display a color code of their own (partially shared with N. Africans, Mid-Easters, and Central&South Asians). What is nearly absent in total are sharings with Far East Asia. Please continue. [/qb][/QUOTE]I believe you either misunderstand or are deliberately distorting what Swenet's saying. I don't think he means that Europeans are 2/3 [i]East[/i] Asian (what you derisively call "Chinese"). Rather, European autosomal ancestry comes ~2/3 from an indigenous Eurasian (but [b]not[/b] East Asian specifically) source and ~1/3 from subsequent African migrations. Generalized Eurasian or non-African is not the same as East Asian or Chinese as you misconstrue. Why does the prospect of West Eurasians having partial extra African ancestry bother you? [b]EDIT:[/b] Damn, Swenet himself ninja'd me. [/QB][/QUOTE]
