[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: Dude how does this sentence make any logical sense: [QUOTE] We show that the earliest populations of the Near East derived around half their ancestry from a ‘Basal Eurasian’ lineage that had little if any Neanderthal admixture and that separated from other non-African lineages prior to their separation from each other. [/QUOTE]Again, following the logic that Africans and Non Africans can be distinguished by "neanderthal" mixture, then any EARLY populations with no Neanderthal mixture in the Near East must have been African by all logical common sense. This inane hand waving and semantic posturing to justify negating the logical fact that all these DNA lineages were African at that early point in time is ridiculous. [/QB][/QUOTE]Scientists never defined "non-African" as "any human being with Neanderthal admixture". Your logic on that one is flawed and if it wasn't that is what they would be saying in the literature but they are not saying that is what separates the African form the non-African. "Non-African" was defined in anthropology and supported by genetic information on haplogroups which evolved outside of Africa BEFORE they even discovered the small amounts Neanderthal ancestry in humans. What happened was according to OOA theory Africans left Africa. They were African for a while but in some period of years living outside Africa, perhaps 10,000 or more they evolved into new climactic conditions and became "Non-African", drift and bottlenecking also playing a role. These were the Basal Eurasians. They were to mix with neanderthals later. The "Near East" is quite a large region which extends beyond the Basal Eurasian locale. The Near East includes: [QUOTE] Ancient Near East Mesopotamia (modern Iraq, southeast Turkey, southwest Iran, northeastern Syria and Kuwait), ancient Egypt, ancient Iran (Elam, Media, Parthia and Persia), Anatolia/Asia Minor and Armenian Highlands (Turkey's Eastern Anatolia Region, Armenia, northwestern Iran, southern Georgia, and western Azerbaijan),the Levant (modern Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Israel, and Jordan), Cyprus and the Arabian Peninsula. The ancient Near East is studied in the fields of Near Eastern archaeology and ancient history. [/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
