[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] For those who don't understand the relevance yet, Cabrera et al's 130ky Skhul-Qafzeh population seemingly left Africa much earlier than 130ky ago. Or at least, an older Levantine human population they mixed with, did (although the fact that Skhul-Qafzeh are culturally related to older humans in the Levant suggests continuity between them is more likely than large scale admixture events with new OOA migrants in between both Levantine samples). Either way, whether Skhul-Qafzeh are related to the older Levantine humans through continuity, or with some new OOA admixture in between that >70ky gap, population replacement between the two populations seems unlikely, for reasons I just mentioned. I will confirm by reading the paper later, but I expect very close morphological affinities. This collapses Cabrera et al's entire premise since the root of mtDNA phylogeny of living humans would have been closer to southern Africa, not in northern Africa or in Ethiopia as the recent papers are trying to say. People closely related to living humans arrived in North Africa no earlier than MIS 5 (unless branches died off that we can't detect genetically and archaeologically), but certainly not >200ky ago. This is why the oldest Y-DNAs (A00, A0 and A-M31) are found in between West/Central Africa and northern Africa, and not among Khoisan. This is likely also why the recent medieval Moroccan aDNA has no clear affinities to living humans, and are genetically closest to southern African populations. Southern Africans are genetically closer to the root of our tree, and therefore are also expected to have a vague pleisiomorphic type affinity to the older human branches that arrived in West/Central, North Africa and the Levant before any humans on our side of the human tree did (i.e. before mtDNA L0'6 and Y-DNA A2-T people did). I already spoke on this in 2015 (my last blogpost), so these academics have no excuse. If I can put the pieces of the puzzles together, they should be able to do the same. Even though it's their profession, in 2018 Cabrera et al and most academics still have no clue about any of this, which shows how far academics can lag behind. At this point, some of them are just spreaders of misinformation in white lab coats. Very sad. This backmigration non sense that is being pushed right now (seemingly in concert) is going to take years to get rid of in the mainstream. Expect a lot of trolls and sore losers from multiregionalism latch on to this for a long time. [/QB][/QUOTE]
