This is more in line with my thoughts on this subject.

I am a right-wing, reactionary, knuckle dragging, gun-toting, hirsute Neanderthal and proud of it.

"The genetic legacy of current humans is predominantly of African origin,"
Where are my reparations?
To: blam
Templeton is the first to suggest expansion out of Africa occurred in three waves: 2 million years ago, 800,000 years ago and 100,000 years ago. If there was some disaster ~80,000 ya which decreased the Homo Sapiens to 5,000-10,000 individuals how can genetic studies of earlier populations be made?

I really dislike this type of idle speculation being tossed out into the open. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big believer in the ToE and such, but this type of pseudo-guessing simply lends credence to those who claim that the ToE is so fluid that it's utterly worthless. This, in my opinion, is the result of mixing the science behind the ToE with the pseudo-science of archaeology. I think that's a pretty risky thing to do, as it can lead us off into a dozen wrong directions at once, and distract us from the pure science that's helped us come this far in our understanding of our origins.

"Templeton said the differences between human populations today were based on geography not genetics." "Australian geneticist Associate Professor Philip Batterham from the University of Melbourne said the research showed humanity was far more closely related that previously thought and that race was a cultural phenomenon.
Once again, political correctness corrupts science. Race is unquestionably based on genetics. Note that any time there is marriage between Negroid and Caucasoid, Mongoloid and Caucasoid, and any other combination, that the resulting offspring DO follow Mendel's laws of genetics.

"If there was some disaster ~80,000 ya which decreased the Homo Sapiens to 5,000-10,000 individuals how can genetic studies of earlier populations be made? That was the Toba super volcano 75,000 years ago. The human survival numbers I see are usually 2,000-5,000 worldwide.

Evolution Ping! This list is for the
evolution side of evolution threads, and maybe other science topics like cosmology.
See the list's description in my freeper homepage. Then FReepmail me to be added or dropped.
(One of the few times I've used my list on a Blam thread.)

Race IS a cultural phenomena. Race is all about politics. Living in the US you would notice this.

This certainly makes more sense of some of the DNA data that has been reported than does the wave of killers theory that had been dominant to date.
