[QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [qb] All branches lead back to the trunk if human DNA is based on a single origin in Africa. If that theory is accurate, then all roads lead back to Africa. The PROBLEM, for Eurocentrics anyway, is when those roads converge in Africa along with "modern" behaviors like farming,civilization, etc. Because,in their models, these "modern" behaviors are assumed to have came about on the branches and not the trunk. Hence Basal Eurasian is just a nice way of saying "ghost African" population but not directly giving credit to Africans as a fundamental component of this evolutionary package. Of course another big part of this is the lack of ADNA from Africa and the Nile Valley going back 10,000 years or more. Using ADNA from Europe while having no ADNA of similar time depth from Africa only reinforces existing assumptions and models, especially when the algorithms are always weighted towards actual ADNA (Eurasia) versus estimated or theoretical ADNA (Africa) [/qb][/QUOTE]. You don't have to have aDNA we know the origin of these ancient people via archaeology which illustrates these people moving out of Africa into Eurasia. . [/qb][/QUOTE]True. But we know the Euro establishment of Anthropology and Archaeology is based on ignoring Africas role in human history and as such this shouldn't be surprising. But some people actually think that DNA will make things better. [/qb][/QUOTE]Good point, but Eurocentrists will flip the script-even with DNA--to make this or that group "white". People forget that skeletons and other material used to get aDNA is recovered from an archaeological context. DNA can not identify the race of the skeleton or skull possessing the DNA, because any member of the varied races can carry the same genome. But craniometrics identify specific racial identity.This means that the artifacts recovered at these sites and the measurements of the skull, pelvis and etc., usually point to the origin of the skeleton etc.Given this fact aDNA proves very little about racial identity without archaeological evidence.
