R-V88 Among Europeans

My source doesn't say that I am wrong. Arabs and South Asian Indians are Caucasoids too; and they have slightly darker skin.

You just proved my point.
 
You just proved my point.
Let me ask you something wise-guy: What did the original R1a and R1b people look like? Did they have dark-skin? Fair-skin? How about the first N1c individuals? Since you seem to know all about this.

This isn't a: what came first, the chicken or the egg kind of question. It is obvious that all races must have came from a Negroid population in some way. So what are you arguing?

Who were the original Africans? They were not Negroids? What a joke.
 
You just proved my point.
Just because dark-skinned Caucasoid Egyptians carry R1b-V88 doesn't make them any more white than a Jewish Levantine Caucasoid who carries V88. And we all know that Black Chadic men carry V88 and have dark-skin.

So did these Chadic men have white ancestors?
 
Loschbour man was 8,000 years old also carried Y-DNA I2 and was also dark-skinned and blue eyed.

So what is the alternative explanation for these two individuals? I'd like to hear your own analysis.


Were the R1b people in Mesolithic Asia looking like me in the avatar there on the left at the same time of these two individuals' existence? Did they look like me or the Modern Europeans? Fair-skinned?

That's an impossible question to answer because I don't know the date or dates you're using for "Mesolithic" or the exact geography of "in Asia". We should be getting some samples from Central Asia and the Caucasus soon, and that should answer some of the questions we have, such as whether they were derived for SLC 24A5 and 42A5 for that matter, and that may bring us closer to when and where the West Eurasian type depigmentation mutations occurred and started to spread.

However, we do know that a Samara hunter gatherer from 8,000 years ago who was R1b was derived for both SLC24A5 and SLC42A5, although the phenotypes in the Yamnaya R1b were more mixed, as although they were fixed for derived SLC24A5, they had much lower levels of SLC42A5 than do modern Ukrainians and they carried no depigmentation snps that could be interpreted as coding for blonde hair or blue eyes.

What you don't seem to grasp is that in the long time and over the long miles from the tropics to more northerly latitudes there was selection for one depigmentation snp after another. It took time. According to this paper, for example, " we estimate that the onset of the sweep shared by Europeans and East Asians at KITLG occurred approximately 30,000 years ago, after the out-of-Africa migration, whereas the selective sweeps for the European-specific alleles at TYRP1, SLC24A5, and SLC45A2 started much later, within the last 11,000–19,000 years, well after the first migrations of modern humans into Europe. We suggest that these patterns were influenced by recent increases in size of human populations, which favored the accumulation of advantageous variants at different loci."

Do you get it now?

(If I had to guess right at this moment, I think the mutation on SLC 24A5 might have occurred somewhere around the Caucasus and the Caspian Sea and then spread from there. The one on SLC42A5 looks ANE related to me, but whether it occurred in the Caucasus as well and then moved north with ANE like populations or actually occurred in the northern reaches of far eastern Europe I don't know. I think it's also very likely that the spread to fixation was a post Neolithic occurrence. )
 
No you didn't. You proved MY point.

Well, that was mature.

In reality, you really did prove my point. Earlier, you equated dark skin with "being Negroid." Now you're admitting you were wrong ("Arabs and South Asian Indians are Caucasoids too; and they have slightly darker skin."), even if you don't care for it.

Thus, your entire theory (R1 peoples were "Negroids") crumbles. That the oldest R sample we have wasn't "Negroid" (which you've completely ignored) only underlines your failure.

Let me ask you something wise-guy: What did the original R1a and R1b people look like? Did they have dark-skin? Fair-skin? How about the first N1c individuals? Since you seem to know all about this.

Weren't they all "Negroids?" That's your claim, despite a lack of evidence and a complete misunderstanding of what "Negroid" means.

This isn't a: what came first, the chicken or the egg kind of question. It is obvious that all races must have came from a Negroid population in some way. So what are you arguing?

I'm not arguing. I'm pointing out your mistakes, mistakes you have yet to respond to with anything but name-calling and "I'm rubber, you're glue." Those mistakes make your theory hard to credit.

And I wouldn't even have bothered if you didn't take this smarmy and insulting "here's my whacko theory I can't support, but you're all idiots!" approach. Think on it.

Just because dark-skinned Caucasoid Egyptians....

Wait a moment. Your entire theory was based on the idea that "dark skin = Negroid." How can there be dark-skinned "Caucasoids?" You're all over the place.

...carry R1b-V88 doesn't make them any more white...

Wow. Now you want to debate who's "white." No thanks.

And we all know that Black Chadic men carry V88 and have dark-skin.

Are you at all serious? Earlier, you opined that since R1b Chadic-speakers displayed typical SSA morphology, their R1b ancestors from Eurasia must have been "Negroid," because you simply couldn't understand how they could appear "Negroid" today...

...after thousands of years of breeding with SSAs.

Is this a joke?
 
You won't find Y haplotype C in Sub-Saharan Africa in any measurable amounts because it isn't associated with the Negroid type. For a (very) basic understanding of Y DNA, please visit this website.

You've got like the worst logic of any person I've ever seen. And you never get it, and all you do is write up some dull, long-winded, misinformed view of anthropology that is a waste of mine and pretty much everyone else's to read. And when you are not winning this argument and are caught in a logic foxhole; you retort to nothing but insults about where I live geographically. Sounds like you are insecure or have some sort of guilt-complex.

It is certainly not a joke. Then tell me what original racial classification/race did Out of Africa peoples originate from?

"Thus, your entire theory (R1 peoples were "Negroids") crumbles. That the oldest R sample we haven't wasn't "Negroid" (which you've completely ignored) only underlines your failure."

What color of skin shade did they have? R1a and R1b are about the same age or probably older than I1 and I2.

Yes, but this website is about Europeans. And I was originally debating with people how Europeans acquired fair-skin and other eye colors. Seems like some people missed the plot. You are probably right and I may agree. But my point is, that all European haplogroups, I1, I2, G2a, T, E-V13, N1c, R1a, R1b, Q, J1 and J2 individuals may have simultaneously mutated into modern Europeans at the same time.

In other words, they may have all acquired fair-skin and fair-hair at the same time. The other races or subraces of Caucasoid may have merely took these Y-DNA before Europeans became fair-skinned. Which explains why Indians of South Asia have R1a but slightly darker skin; and also why Finnish people are fair-skinned and blonde European; while also bearing the Y-DNA of East Asian Yakuts: N1c.

It's the theory that most Out of Africa people were dark-skinned Negroids in Asia; that migrated into several territories with several migrations; and evolving into the races that they are today. One of the R1b Negroids went back into Sub-Saharan Africa; before skin pigmentation and other mutations happened.

Seems most of you people haven't "got it" yet.
 
It is certainly not a joke. Then tell me what original racial classification/race did Out of Africa peoples originate from?

I don't think we know. Seriously. It's entirely possible that the racial classifications you use simply aren't applicable that far back, especially (IMO) considering the impact of archaic admixtures (Eurasians bred with Neandertals and Denisovans, sub-Saharan Africans with another pre-sapiens population, after everyone else had left).

Suggesting that the original sapiens population at the time of OOA dispersal was "Negroid," and that today's SSA populations are "Negroid," suggests that "Negroids" haven't evolved like the rest of humanity, which is spurious, as far as I'm concerned.

What color of skin shade did they have? R1a and R1b are about the same age or probably older than I1 and I2.

For ****'s sake, it's not all about skin color. Why can't you grasp this?

Seems most of you people haven't "got it" yet.

Just wow.

"Negroid has both Latin and Ancient Greek etymological roots. It literally translates as "black resemblance" from negro/niger (black), and -oeidēs, equivalent to -o- + -eidēs "having the form of", derivative of eîdos "form".[8][9] The earliest recorded use of the term "Negroid" came in 1859.[10] In modern usage, it is associated with populations that on the whole possess the suite of typical Negroid physical characteristics.[11]"

Proving my point yet again. "Populations that on the whole possess the suite of typical Negroid physical characteristics," not your "La Brana man was a Negroid because he had tan skin" version.

And, with the exception of a few small "Negrito" populations, Australoids do not "possess the suite of typical Negroid physical characteristics". Nor do they have the typical "Negroid" Y DNA types (A, B and E, although E can also be Caucasian). Why are you not able to grasp these basic concepts?

I was theorizing. It's only common sense.

Where else did all the other races "Out of Africa" come from? Do you have an explanation? You people still have not got the point. Even if Europeans had tan skin; that means they originally started off as Negroids and then went from black to tan to fair-skin. Oh my gosh. Do I have to make it any more simpler?
 
Proving my point yet again. "Populations that on the whole possess the suite of typical Negroid physical characteristics," not your "La Brana man was a Negroid because he had tan skin" version.
La Brana man's ancestors most certainly were Negroids if he had tan skin and then his descendants turned into fair-skinned European.
 
You people still have not got the point. Even if Europeans had tan skin; that means they originally started off as Negroids and then went from black to tan to fair-skin.

You have zero evidence or suggestion that early Eurasians were "Negroid" past your own tautological assertion. The fact that pre-R1 R* wasn't "Negroid" tends to cast doubt on this theory of yours.

Do you really not see the possibility that the modern "Negroid" classification is as much the result of time and change as "Caucasoid" or "Mongoloid?"

Whose theory? Name me one geneticist who agrees with such nonsense. Subsaharan Africans evolved in Subsaharan Africa. And, as has already been explained to you repeatedly, Subsaharan Africans with Y haplotype R1b represent Caucasian pastoralists who back migrated into Africa and intermarried with the locals to the point where they physically resemble other Subsaharan Africans.
 
La Brana man's ancestors most certainly were Negroids if he had tan skin...

Again, you really don't know what "Negroid" means. I'm just being blunt. Your education has failed you, and any work you've done as a forensic anthropologist should be reviewed due to gross incompetence.

By your reckoning, you would find Sendhil Ramamurthy's body in some Louisianan swamp and declare them "Negroid" due to their skin color, whilst ignoring the fact they're, anthropologically-speaking, Caucasian.

Dark skin does not mean "Negroid." You fail.
 
The fact that pre-R1 R* wasn't "Negroid" tends to cast doubt on this theory of yours.
Oh yeah? Can you give me a link to this individual?
