[QUOTE]Originally posted by Elmaestro: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Mansamusa: "It probably came from Asia to both Europe and South Africa separately (not that we know the origin for sure of course)." I think Europeans need to get over themselves seriously. It's a shame that the majority of ancient samples we have so far are from the most unimportant, uninteresting, and frankly useless part of the world in terms of understanding ancient and prehistoric human history--- Western Europe, one of the last places to be populated by humans and which remained outside of ancient history for millenia before the rise of the Greeks and Romans. There is nothing in terms of ancient DNA evidence so far which makes Asia as oppossed to Africa the likely provenance for this genetic adaptation. What the fuck does it mean to go on and on about how Africa has the most diversity in the world and at the same time find it so difficult to admit to simply admit to the possibility that this particular allele developed in Africa as opposed to this weird somewhere, anywhere, except Africa explanation you are trying to articulate here. This is what you are saying, right? You don't know for sure where it orginated, You just know for sure that it did not originate from Africa. Correct me if I'm wrong. [/qb][/QUOTE]I don't think he's saying that... don't get me wrong, I personally think it's origin was in North Africa, but I can be completely wrong. No-one knows for certain yet, but one thing you have to be mindful of is the distribution; Low frequency on the African continent vs relaxed frequencies and even fixation elsewhere. Also our eldest carrier is OOA, The easiest explanation at this particular point is an Asian Origin, with Africa as a possibility. [/QB][/QUOTE]
