Even full European DNA and be "Black". :) [/qb][/QUOTE]That is an interesting question. [/qb][/QUOTE]"Eurasia" covers a large swathe of the earth's landmass; "Eurasians" in the Adaman islands are at least as dark (if not darker) than the Monjang (Dinka), Rami mi raan ("Nuer") and the Chollo (Shilluk). But you can't be predominantly European (genetically) and be black. [/qb][/QUOTE]Interesting view. [QUOTE]Europeans carry a motley mix of genes from at least three ancient sources: indigenous hunter-gatherers within Europe, people from the Middle East, and northwest Asians from near the Great Steppe of eastern Europe and central Asia. One high-profile recent study suggested that each genetic component entered Europe by way of a separate migration and that they only came together in most Europeans in the past 5000 years. [b]Now ancient DNA from the fossilized skeleton of a short, dark-skinned, dark-eyed man who lived at least 36,000 years ago along the Middle Don River in Russia presents a different view: This young man had DNA from all three of those migratory groups and so was already “pure European,” [/b] says evolutionary biologist Eske Willerslev of the Natural History Museum of Denmark at the University of Copenhagen, who led the analysis.

[/i][/QUOTE]—M. Gallego-Llorente, R. Pinhasi et al. The genetics of an early Neolithic pastoralist from the Zagros, Iran [/qb][/QUOTE]You're referencing a period that far back in time? I thought it pertained to relatively modern populations and that's why I pointed to the Andaman Islands. [/qb][/QUOTE]The initial statement was "Even full European DNA and be "Black". And on that note: See particularly from the 37:00 minute onwards the question on DNA and historical narratives, it's very interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0HCs6PVnzI J. .P Mallory speaks on Indo-European Dispersals and the Eurasian Steppe at the Silk Road Symposium held at the Penn Museum held in March 2011. Contacts between Europe and China that bridged the Eurasian steppelands are part of a larger story of the dispersal of the Indo-European languages that were carried to Ireland (Celtic) in the west and the western frontiers of China (Tokharian, Iranian) in the east. Reviewing some of the problems of these expansions 15 years ago, the author suggested that it was convenient to discuss the expansions in terms of several fault lines -- the Dnieper, the Ural and Central Asia. The Dnieper is critical for resolving issues concerning the different models of Indo-European origins and more recent research forces us to reconsider the nature of the Dnieper as a cultural border. Recent research has also suggested that we need to reconsider the eastern periphery of the Indo-European world and how it relates to its western neighbors. J.P. Mallory is Professor of Prehistoric Archaeology at Queen's University, Belfast, Northern Ireland. [/QB][/QUOTE]
