[QUOTE]Originally posted by BrandonP: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] ^ Ironically that is a hypothesis that Swenet put forward. The Upper-Paleolithic Euros like Crog-Magnon had features reminiscent of Melanesians and Australian Aborigines, and not only were "caucasoid" features found in Africa first but these features were [i]gracile[/i] and not robust like Paleolithic Western Eurasians. This is why you had 19th Century anthropologists like Giuseppe Sergi postulate a "Brown Mediterranean Race" that originated in Africa and were "Caucasoid" in form but much gracile and much darker/melanated skin but who "diverged" from Negroes. In fact another theory was developed about a "Eurafrican Race" that diverged from a common ancestry with Negroes and was represented by the so-called Mechta Afalou types of the Maghreb and was the ancestral to Mediterraneans. Dana Marniche has pointed all this out in her "Myth of the Mediterranean Race" paper. Even the Eurocentric blogger Dienekes years back spoke of "Prehistoric East African Caucasoids" as exemplified by fossils in the Kenyan Rift Valley like Gamble's Cave like Elmenteita or Naivasha. This is why racial typology has been proven to be scientifically invalid. [/qb][/QUOTE]I remember Swenet telling me that Paleolithic Western Eurasians were trending in a direction superficially resembling Native Americans as well as Oceanians prior to receiving further admixture from North Africa. Recall, of course, that Native Americans share "Ancient North Eurasian" ancestry with Europeans. [/QB][/QUOTE]
