[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] @Dead When it comes to archaic-AMH continuity, I think there is no regional continuity because there is no evidence that Africa's AMHs evolved from different African archaic humans. There may have been more than one mtDNA Eve, though, but in my view these women and their male counterparts would have postdated the emergence of African AMHs, i.e. lead back to the same archaic human. When it comes to AMH-holocene continuity in Africa, I believe continuity can be found in some cases. Devilliers and Brauer have shown in their analyses that, at least the Bantu phenotype (but not necessarily the West African form), has continuity in Upper Palaeolithic South Africa and East Africa. I believe UP candidates have also been found for the original Afro-Asiatic speakers, but the evidence is more tentative for them. The Khoisan phenotype probably can't be traced further back than the early/mid-holocene using the available skeletal record, with much certainty. I don't buy into the aspects of Pinhasi's work where he claims to be able to identify their ancestral forms in various African UP remains. Nilo-Saharans can probably be identified with Mesolithic Nile Valley Nubians. [/QB][/QUOTE]
