[QUOTE]Originally posted by A Habsburg Agenda: [QB] [IMG]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48395083952_2e8ddc833e_z_d.jpg[/IMG] [b]It must be clear that ancient Brazilians want no part of the EU[/b] I was following up the story about Luzia and learned that late 2018 some researchers announced that DNA studies indicated that the skull model was wrong and that Luiza was not related to Africans or Australians. [QUOTE]In November 2018, scientists of the University of São Paulo and Harvard University released a study that contradicts the alleged Australo-Melanesian physical appearance of Luzia. Using DNA sequencing, the results showed that Luzia had Mongoloid features.[24] The bust of Luzia displaying African features was done in the 1990's. "However, skull shape isn't a reliable marker of ancestrality or geographic origin. Genetics is the best basis for this type of inference," Strauss explained. "The genetic results of the new study show categorically that there was no significant connection between the Lagoa Santa people and groups from Africa or Australia. So the hypothesis that Luzia's people derived from a migratory wave prior to the ancestors of today's Amerindians has been disproved. On the contrary, the DNA shows that Luzia's people were entirely Amerindian."[25] [/QUOTE]I am not an expert in this area, but if the skeleton (ie the skull) does not match what the DNA predicts then their models for predicting skeletal form from DNA must be wrong or inadequate. I can't help feeling that 150 million people of African descent living in Brazil must be strong factor in these contortions, not to mention that the Negroid form is not restricted to African people, as Negritos like the Jarawa show. Apparently the skulls don't conform to the [b]true negro[/b] stereotype.

Someone is doing unoriginal cutting and pasting at Wikipedia. [URL=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luzia_Woman]Luzia Woman - Wikipedia[/URL] [URL=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australo-Melanesian]Australo-Melanesian - Wikipedia[/URL] I have to admit that I have no knowledge of DNA analysis. More knowledgeable members of ES can look into it and present us with their interpretations and conclusions. [/QB][/QUOTE]
