We are all one race. There are bits & pieces of all the humans that have ever lived in us today. Some of the Australian Aboriginies have brow ridges as severe as any ever recorded in 'archaic humans.'

We are Neanderthals.

"We are Neanderthals."

Not all of us.. just liberals.
How's it going finding that missing link, scientists?

I posted the below linked article a couple years ago and have linked it often in subsequent posts. This is one of the discoveries that is causing all the 're-think.' I recommend reading it.

Stranger In A New Land

[Old_Mil]

One of the best-known theories about human evolution—that the ancestors of Homo sapiens originated in Africa before populating the rest of the world 2 million years ago—is coming under fire. In a challenge to conventional wisdom, Robin Dennell of the University of Sheffield in England and Wil Roebroeks of Leiden University in the Netherlands argue that the "out of Africa" interpretation is built on shaky evidence. Maybe, they say, it is time to look to Asia instead.

Indeed.

[Old_Mil]

"We know so little about Asia—and, for that matter, Africa—that we should be very careful not to turn a hypothesis into a stone-carved truth simply by repeating it too often," Roebroeks says.

Indeed.

Amen, brother.

We were all dreamed up and came into existence from a Far Side cartoon.

Turning Japanese Lyrics



I've got your picture of me and you
You wrote "I love you" I wrote "me too"
I sit there staring and there's nothing else to do
Oh it's in color Your hair is brown
Your eyes are hazel And soft as clouds
I often kiss you when there's no one else around

I've got your picture, I've got your picture
I'd like a million of you all round my cell
I want a doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You've got me turning up and turning down
And turning in and turning 'round

I'm turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
I'm turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so

I've got your picture, I've got your picture
I'd like a million of them all round my cell
I want the doctor to take a picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You've got me turning up and turning down and turning in and turning 'round

I'm turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
I'm turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so

No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women
No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark
Everyone around me is a total stranger
Everyone avoids me like a cyclone ranger
That's why I'm turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
I'm turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so

Turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
(think so think so think so)
Turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so

""We don't have a tree of human populations with branches for Europeans and Asians and Arabs," Templeton says. "It's more like a trellis: Things are intertwined.""

I want to see his trellis!

[Ragnorak]

Meanwhile, population geneticist Alan Templeton of Washington University in St. Louis is overturning ideas about human origins from another angle

I've run across Alan Templeton before. He 's the one that claimed "race" doesn't genetically exist back in the mid 90's. "Race is real in a political, social sense, but it's not biological." He is oft quoted by leftist indoctrination propaganda also known as Social Science College Textbooks.

I haven't researched enough of what he's done to say he's nothing but a hack, but he sure gets cited and quoted by a lot of hacks. His quotes in news stories referencing his work peg him as fact fudging lib, but who believes quotes from AP or the NYT?

The Neandertal Enigma
by James Shreeve

Frayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127]

"We are all one race"
I can agree we're all one species but all of one race?
I don't think so. All of the latest DNA studies show that race is real. The different races have different strengths and weaknesses as well as different anatomical looks.
Just as dogs have races (Compare a Yorkie with a Great Dane), they are still all Canines).
