[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Fourty2Tribes: I had an African fellow from Burndi show me his 23andme test. He was 98% SSA with too many Neanderthal variants to have come from the 2% 'other'. It wasn't a lot. It was about 0.25%. We share much if not most of our genes with bears, dolphins etc but this was the same pattern as the admixture just less of it. This looked like the founders effect from a Neanderthal-like homo-sapien. [b]That baseline 'Neanderthal' variation was in ancient Africans, if not more of it since they were closer to the common ancestor[/b]. When they left Africa they maintained it while losing intra diversity. I then realized xyyman was probably right so I dug into the math behind the simulations. Within it I'm seeing parsimonious whistles and ethnocentric pseudo science.[/QUOTE]Ok. I'm not saying that can't be true. But remember that most Neanderthals have African mtDNA haplogroups. They have mostly lost their native Denisovan-like mtDNAs. Any researcher looking at shared ancestry between Neanderthals and Africans should take this into account. That is why I thought that Capra quote deserved more questioning and partly why I didn't understand the OP (that quote was the most objectionable part of the article). It can't all just be shared proto-human ancestry as Capra claims. [/QB][/QUOTE]
