[QUOTE]Originally posted by capra: [QB] Man, Cass, your trolling here gets such predictable responses it's positively unsporting. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass/: [qb]No. I work with skulls/fossils. Isn't autosomal ancient DNA extraction limited to a certain time period? I mean where is the autosomal DNA for "AMH" 100,000 years ago? Obviously though ancient DNA will settle things for stuff like ancient Egypt, but this is a far more recent in time. How is ancient DNA going to help the human origins debate when there is none? We have to work with fossils.[/qb][/QUOTE]OK, I don't know much about fossils. So I'm not going to tell you your opinion is unjustified, or quote some unreviewed palaeontogy paper that says what I like. See how easy it is! Actually we do have some relevant ancient DNA from northern Eurasia. It's Neanderthal and Denisovan. Hopefully we will get some aDNA from some of those interesting fossils in China. It's not really political in the West, from what I can see. The evidence is straightforward. There's no political implications to these human origins theories in reality, people just use them for rhetorical purposes. If Multiregionalism had won out, people would be talking about how everyone is united by a million years of race-mixing. If you want to demonize Out-of-Africa, describe it as superior people from one continent conquering the world. No one's deciding whether the Negro is a man and a brother based on their common ancestry being 80 000 years ago with minimal gene flow and not a million years ago with lots of gene flow. Anyway, we went over this before, so back to the topic. Whatever the topic was supposed to be. [/QB][/QUOTE]
