This is more in line with my ideas/opinions than most articles on the subject.

blam, your link is pointing to FR's posting page.

"blam, your link is pointing to FR's posting page."

I know. I'm having serious problems with my computer and that is the only way I could post it. I will post a link to the subscriber only site shortly. Patience.

Okay.

Well, I guess you have to be a subscriber to read the article. Oh, well, ...

[snarks_when_bored]

Looks as if you posted the whole article anyway, so no harm.

Blam, this is a pretty important bit of research. Thanks for the post. Looks like I have some study to do this evening.

Evidence of ancient nuclear DNA sequences in Asian populations, much of it dating to between 1 million and 500,000 years ago, reflects the genetic contributions of species such as H. erectus to modern humanity as populations diffused across the Old World.

I always wondered how the line traits (shovel-shaped incisors, etc.) wound up in Peking Man. This is the first good explanation which fits with the modern theories.

==============

For the ID folks: Yes, that's older than 4004 B.C. Sorry.

or...

Just ignore it, its all theory anyway. Move on.

What about DNA corruption by interbreeding, incest, inter family pedophilia and pedogogy.?. Can't be good for the gene pool.. and spread to succesive generations geometrically..

[operation clinton cleanup]

The two populations then evolved in isolation for hundreds of thousands of years before interbreeding, perhaps in Africa, with other Homo species.

Homo in the doghouse for 100,000 years.... thats cold!

Pedagogy?

Pedagogy n. 1. the function, work, or art of a teacher; teaching. 2. instruction.

Are you referring to these 40-year-old blond teachers picking on students in Catholic schools, or what?

Release a drop of red food coloring into a glass filled with water. Watch the drop slowly spread until it imbues the water with a rosy tint. Then, add a drop of blue coloring and observe the boundaries of purple expand. According to Vinayak Eswaran, this process, known as diffusion, reflects how, over the past 200,000 years, people evolved to have the relatively thin bones, small jaws, and other distinctive aspects of their current physical form.

Ohhhhh-kayyyyy. So who is dropping the food coloring into the glass of water?

Or should I say Who?

[King Prout]

well, hopefully this new way of looking at things will give rise to some new grotesque strawman misrepresentations four our esteemed opponents to toss about.

their mainstays are growing tiresome.

This theory is incorrect. All non-African humans are descendant from the same woman, called L1, who left Africa 80,000 years ago. All modern humans are descendant from a woman who has been named "Eve" who lived in Africa 250,000 years ago. This has been definitively proved via mitochondrial DNA analysis.

Correlative studies on Y chromosome inheritance, (a non-sexual process that traces the male line) match the mitochondrial DNA studies. L1's descendents spread out pretty quickly when the left Africa, covering the world. They have remained surprisingly stationary since.

Mother nature perhaps?

[King Prout]

"four"?

gah.

need... more... coffee

This theory is incorrect. All non-African humans are descendant from the same woman, called L1, who left Africa 80,000 years ago. All modern humans are descendant from a woman who has been named "Eve" who lived in Africa 250,000 years ago. This has been definitively proved via mitochondrial DNA analysis.

ABSOLUTELY INCORRECT.

You must bear in mind, all of "Eve's" female-descent relatives (her grammy, her sister, her matrilinial-descent 7th cousin 10x-removed) -I SAY AGAIN: ALL OF THEM- had the same mitochondrial DNA.

The mitochondrial analysis indicates we are related to "Eve"
The mitochondrial analysis CAN NOT indicate whether "Eve" had any offspring at all, let alone whether each and every modern human is descendant from such children.

Posting "discovery-channel" rubbish does not help us persuade people to reject ID/Creo rubbish.
