[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Tyrannohotep: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [qb]Dark skin or black skin has been present in populations all over the world for thousands of years. This isn't something "made up" by Africans in America. European anthropologists and racists have known this since they began "exploring" the world. The problem is they use that as a sign of inferiority in most cases. It is that history that is the root of the problem and the basis of modern day misinformation campaigns seen on the internet from various perspectives. And this is why folks at the Max Planck institute are receiving criticism in trying to create their all encompassing models of human history. [/qb][/QUOTE]Recall [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=010151;p=3#000114]DJ citing a paper showing that Lagoa Santa people had less "sinodont" physical characteristics than later Natives[/URL]. Given that sinodonty and various other so-called "Mongoloid" physical characteristics are the product of certain EDAR genetic alleles like he's said, it could be that the Lagoa Santa people represent descendents of a population that left the Beringian standstill "ahead of schedule", i.e. before these EDAR traits reached the same degree of fixture that you see in modern Natives. So while Lagao Santa may have more genetic affinity to Native Americans than to any other world population [i]today[/i], their phenotype could still have looked quite different (e.g. less "Mongoloid") from modern Natives. At least that's how it has come to look to me. [/qb][/QUOTE]I don't disagree with the idea of multiple waves hitting America and with later waves having different features. What I disagree with is the idea that those older features disappeared and that modern "native Americans" going back prior to European contact were exclusively or primarily sidont. [/QB][/QUOTE]
