Out of Africa overhyped

[bicicleur 2]

You come from a country where it is illegal to claim that Jews might be an ethnic group.
Bow out.
Gracefully.
Or think before you write and accuse.

I don't know any such law.

There is a new study due trying to explain the first Eurasian expansion 45 ka and the 2nd European expansion 38 ka.

http://fdslive.oup.com/www.oup.com/p...n_progress.pdf

These expansions are marked by the use of blade tools, 45 ka produced with Levallois technique, 38 ka these tools were produced direct from cilindrical cores.

Attachment 13183

These blade tools were a Eurasian development.

The scientists argue that no specific point in time can currently be identified when modern human ancestry was confined to a limited birthplace, and that the known patterns of the first appearance of anatomical or behavioural traits that are often used to define Homo sapiens fit a range of evolutionary histories.

there is no solid evidence, but there is circumstancial evidence

one indication is the skeletal record : homo erectus was the first to leave Africa, more than 2 million years ago

another is human DNA diversity, which is highest in Africa

then there is the replacement of Neanderthals and Denisovans by modern humans in Eurasia



for early humans, the African savanne was their natural habitat
it was the early paradise
there climate and fauna and flora were ideal for human survival

What caused some to migrate elsewhere?

I see such arguments when it comes to the origin of Rh negative blood
Top scientists are divided
some believe around 50k ybp Neanderthaloids were the origin thereof around the South Western part of France
Others believe it originated around 600,000 ybp somewhere in Africa
The point is there is no evidence and option number 3 would be that the gene deletion took place over several periods in several locations.
In other words:
Circumstantial evidence can lead into different directions.
Until we know, we don't

I guess it became to crowded on the African savanna.
Just a guess ..

i've just given examples that clearly show where he is coming from. if that isn't enough evidence then nothing is.

Hi Ailchu, let me tell you this you can't force other people to make them love or respect Africans by banning or shutting them down. What you can do is try to change their mindset and perspective by exposing them to arguments that debunk their racist views. In fact, racists do and can change. For instance, there was a case where a German Nazi went to South Africa to live out his racist fantasies. However, he had an accident and some black South Africans helped, invited him to their homes, and treated him kindly. This positive experience with black Africans changed his mind completely and he was ashamed of his hatred for blacks. He ended up marrying an African woman. So, positive experiences and interactions between different ethnic groups are the best weapons against racism. Moreover, they are more effective than PC and cancel culture, and helicopter woke SJWs, media people, and dogooders who “hover” over all of us to monitor every aspect of our lives.


In addition, free speech played a massive role in making Western societies less racist and more tolerant. I saw clips from the 60s, 70s, or 80s where people could speak up their minds. Racists and anti-racists, liberals and conservatives were openly debating each other without holding back. These kinds of debates and discourses are unthinkable today. Besides, is it really racist to acknowledge the reality that some cultures are less developed, sophisticated, and advanced than others? Matter of fact, liberal leftists who notoriously blast others for their inappropriate words and expressions had no problems with referring to the Afghan Taliban as illiterate, stone-age people, and cavemen. The thing is that regardless of skin color or race if you are undeveloped and poor you will face contempt and hate even from people who look like you. That's why I think that Africans are disliked by many not solely due to their race/color but also because of their poverty.

Quite frankly, I disagree with not a few things you write here, and sometimes I just shake my head about your comments and find them a bit irritating. And still, I wasn't happy seeing you banned. But it turned out you were only temporarily banned.

very well said
this is still a genetics forum , so whatever your thoughts, be at least a little bit better than the average cesspool where people sling [email protected]@t at each other all day

Well said. Thanks for understanding my point.

[enter_tain]

Yes, reality is overhyped.

[Mmiikkii]

What caused some to migrate elsewhere?

I've developed theories that maybe several human clans tried fortune in other places outside already inhabited(by Sapiens sapiens) Africa.

[Mmiikkii]

Yes, reality is overhyped.

What I'm trying to say is that reality is also the unbelievable amount of time we went through in Europe/Eurasia, that seems to barely exist.
The explosion in art and tool making happened then.
That was the purpose of this thread.

But I'm worried it's too confined to academic circles. Vulnerable to possible reinterpretations later as pseudo history, afrecentrism or blsckwashing.

Even when we have organized ourselves in tribes it's clearly different.
For getting a band to travel the whole world and cross oceanic straits you need a higher oevel of organization than to go through the savannah.

We have to remember even we're both given plots of land and we have hunted. Having to hunt mamooths and oaks requires a higher level of coordination and planning, as well as enduring European winters.

"european winters" can be very different depending on the latitude. and pretty much all high cultures developed in warm climate with very mild winters such as around the mediterranean sea, the fertile crescent, india, china. and imo those places are all much better for human survival than the savannah which is hot and dry most of the time.

For those who have mentioned circumstantial evidence:
When and where have the migrations occurred from which specific regions?
What do we know for sure?

the circumstancial evidence is to numerous to sum it all up

study the fossil record ..
study DNA diversity ..

In that case, I will just start bringing in random questions I have had on my mind.
For example:
The Yoruba are said to have Neanderthal DNA.
They also are high in Rh negative blood.
I have seen a study where the percentage was somewhere around what the European average is.
I am not sure if they are actually D negative or partial D as many Africans placed under the Rh(D) negative category.
Which ancestry to the Yoruba is likely responsible for it.
A migration from Europe?

I don't know about their blood type.
But Yoruba has Dzudzuana DNA. That came from Eurasia.
Check the Laziridis paper on Dzudzuana DNA. There is a treemix in which Yoruba is included.

yes, more specific, the graph in this post :

https://www.eupedia.com/forum/thread...l=1#post553839

Natufians have 73 % Dzudzuana-like ancestry.
Ancestral north African got mixed with another Dzudzuana-like ancestry.
