[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tukuler: [QB] I think race can in fact be described by science. [b]G[/b]eographic [b]b[/b]reeding [b]p[/b]opulation [b]p[/b]ools are races to me. They are nearly inummerable yet can be conflated. Whole genome ADMIXTURE bar graphs clearly show this reality. Due to inter-mating there are no discrete boundary races. The old physical anthropologists stated as much. Their races were thought of like clouds in motion. Unfortunately the original physical anthropologists, white European men, made race a hierarchy. Mentality was also one of their racial measures. Their taints live on to the genetic science of humans today. They bred racism. That will make what I write intolerable to some who feel any admission of races is tantamount to racism. My thinking on race recognizes some GBPPs can and have been mistaken for others with 'identical' phenotypes, witness Guinea and New Guinea. I don't think the science behind phenotype is sufficient on its own to define GBPPs. I've replaced 'race by colour' with 'race by geography'. And yes, some looking like a certain GBPP will in fact be members some other 'recent' genetic lineage. Simplified examples:[list] [*]The Ancient One (Kenewick Man) was declared an European due to cranium. aDNA proved he was an American. [/list] [list] [*]STRs of Americans differ from inner African STRs. Though a few do share a number of phenotypical features very few assign either to the same race. [/list] Just as important, STR variation further subset any continents' peoples of same general STR affinities. Whole genome ADMIXTURE bar graphs do too. They also prove 'racial' purity is a phantasm. American STRs internally vary between east, northwest, Mexico vicinity, and on to Patagonia. Inner African STRs do the same for southern, central and eastern Inner Africans who are the three primal humans all living humans all descend from. We conflate to one race, HUMAN.[b] We are all equal Terrans of one diverse Earth bred isolating and recombining population. https://www.haaretz.com/science-and-health/modern-humans-began-to-evolve-and-quickly-split-into-three-groups-1.10630058 [/b] ====== Currently Egyptian aDNA is sparse. Other than the Amarna and Ramesses royalty versus the Abusir general population samples there's only few others with more than the almost useless, two, deep ancestry uniparentals. The results of set one, inner African affinities with minor other affinities including Eurasia, contradict set two, 'purely Levantine' with late African add-ons. Late Era Abusir STRs were never recovered or, if so, were never published. Can less than 25 STR or whole genome samples stand in for a 3000 year old socially stratified civilization of over 900 miles length along the Nile? Not forgetting the absorbed new nationals from the west (Tjemehu), south (Nehesu), and east (Aamu), whether captive or immigrant seeking a better life? And after all weren't the first dwellers along that stretch of Nile from Gafsian, Sahro-Sudanese, and Levantine folk? Get it? Gafsian -> Tjemehu Sahro-Sudanese -> Nehesu Levantine -> Aamw The ancient Egyptians were a mix of those main elements constantly varying in dominance and plurality since the recess of the last African Humid Period desertified the Sahara, Sudan, and southwest Asia encouraging migration toward the Nile. Even at present, DNA is useful in AE population studies. [/QB][/QUOTE]
