[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by beyoku: [qb] http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/figure/10.1080/24701394.2016.1258406?scroll=top&needAccess=true Let's see how y'all clowns are going to duck and dodge these results. This is what happens when you ignore data in favor of ideology. [IMG]https://s30.postimg.org/4mt6niqox/iberomaurusianhaplogroups.png[/IMG] [/qb][/QUOTE]Actually we have been over this multiple times. Like here: http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=15;t=000939;p=1 Here is a map: [IMG]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/30/Iberomaurisiense-Capsiense.png/800px-Iberomaurisiense-Capsiense.png[/IMG] Based on the proximity of said sites to Europe the results do make sense. But do they reflect the populations of ALL of North Africa? Of course not. Notwithstanding that the people at this time most likely looked similar to this Ethiopian type: [IMG]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2192/2273782778_cf52e0891d.jpg?v=0[/IMG] Than this: [IMG]http://www.sciencephoto.com/image/481370/large/C0146151-Mechta-Afalou_model_research-SPL.jpg[/IMG] [QUOTE]Caption: Mechta-Afalou model research. Researcher with a reconstruction of a Mechta-Afalou head based on fossils found at Afalou in Algeria (1967). These fossils date from 25,000 to 8,000 years ago. The Mechta-Afalou people were a form of early humans (Homo sapiens) that inhabited northern Africa. Reconstruction by the Daynes Studio, Paris, France.[/QUOTE] http://www.sciencephoto.com/media/481370/view Again the implication here being that ALL North Africans derive from or looked like Eurasians. The Iberomaurisian is one tiny sliver of North Africa right next to Europe. That is less than 5% of the complete expanse of "North Africa". But again, they will skew this to imply that ALL North Africans are basically the same as this population or any other population in later times by skewing the data towards coastal areas. Again, as I have said many times before the Sahara itself is bigger than the continental US and the Iberomaurisian is something like Rhode Island and Maine. The problem here is these folks are implying that settlement of the Sahara was from the North migrating south, which again reinforces the belief that North Africa was "distinct" from the rest of Africa because of various Eurasian migrations going back 20,000 years ago. I would argue that were other settlement sites in other parts of the Sahara, most likely around lakes or oases that they haven't found which would give a better picture. But here again, we are running up on the fact that when you start dealing with any time period over 15,000 years ago, there is a distinct LACK of archaeological findings in Africa. Right now the Sahara stone age sites around Gobero date from 10,000 years ago. https://news.uchicago.edu/article/2008/08/14/stone-age-graveyard-reveals-lifestyles-green-sahara-two-successive-cultures-thriv But there is not much data from 40,000 KYA to 20,000 kya in North Africa proper, or much less anywhere else in Africa outside of Southern Africa. The only contemporaneous stone tool culture from this period in North Africa is the Khormusan: http://ehrafarchaeology.yale.edu/ehrafa/citation.do?method=citation&forward=browseAuthorsFullContext&id=mr45-005 And this finding makes sense because of the Nile. But surely there is a big gap in the archaeological record. [/QB][/QUOTE]
