[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Archeopteryx: [qb] Well, seems like different researchers came to somewhat different conclusions. We just have to wait and see what future studies lead to. [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/PQ58WC8/Humans.jpg[/IMG] [/qb][/QUOTE]They may have come to different conclusions of mixture sure but the skeletal evidence from Africa shows clearly multiple archaic types coexisted there as well with HSS. The problem is the lack lack of widespread coverage for all regions of Africa in terms of skeletal remains. [QUOTE] In order to establish the affinities of the Hofmeyr fossil, team member Katerina Harvati of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, used 3-dimensional measurements of the skull known to differentiate recent human populations according to their geographic distributions and genetic relationships. She compared the Hofmeyr skull with contemporaneous Upper Paleolithic skulls from Europe and with the skulls of living humans from Eurasia and sub-Saharan Africa, including the Khoe-San (Bushmen). [b]Because the Khoe-San are represented in the recent archeological record of South Africa, they were expected to have close resemblances to the South African fossil. Instead, the Hofmeyr skull is quite distinct from recent sub-Saharan Africans, including the Khoe-San, and has a very close affinity with the European Upper Paleolithic specimens.[/b][/QUOTE] https://www.mpg.de/research/hofmeyr-skull-supports-out-of-africa-theory And the Khoe San are an example of lighter skin among Africans not necessarily tied to Eurasian mixture.
