Got any hybrid info on other distinct groups like pygmies?
No, I don't. It's actually something I've been wanting to look into again when I have the chance - probably whenever I make it to a library again after I'm done with my current research. I'm curious about Pygmies and also about the Khoi-Khoi and Hottentots (Bushmen) of Namibia. I'm also curious about some of the most isolated Native Americans (particularly the Patagonians) and the Maori.
The information on the Australian aborigines was some research I stumbled across about 7-8 years ago that I found of interest, but didn't follow up on. At the time I was rather distracted with what I was actually researching (sexual customs amongst Oceanic peoples) so I just kind of read over it and noted it in the back of my mind. Then I was reminded of it on another FR thread and just now on this one, and so I've wanted to look into it again sometime when the opportunity arises.
Hmm.. Just to clarify, when I say "read over it" I don't mean I scanned over it and skipped on. I actually found it quite interesting at the time, and read the entire journal article and examined the statistical figures and everything. In fact, I strongly suspect I made a copy of it and will find it again when I organize all my research debris in a couple months or so. I'd meant to follow up on the citations but just never got around to it what with everything else going on.
It intrigued me at the time for the very implicit reason I brought it up here: the concept that Australian aborigines may be virtually a subspecies from a purely biological standpoint, although that's a highly volatile and obviously controversial postulation.
