Culture, population structure, and low genetic diversity in Pleistocene hominins.

Duh!

[Sacajaweau]

So what's the purpose of this...Even if we knew for certain...What end does it produce??...Just how brilliant these "scientists" are?? Another self-serving "Grant" funded by you and me...so some dudes can write a paper and receive accolades.

It's crap science...just like global warming.

Loadacrap.

There are a lot of reasons that hooman beans are divided as they are but I seriously doubt tattoos are one of them.

I guess humans were the only creatures that were affected by the calamities. The moron scientist can never admit that man and monkeys aren’t related.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Since the main argument for the calamity caused population bottleneck was the lack of genetic diversity, if the lack of diversity has this other proposed cause, that means there is no evidence for the bottleneck, and therefore no evidence for the calamity. If there was no calamity, there is no reason to try to find out what the calamity was!

[Sherman Logan]

Over time, most populations went extinct, allowing the genes of only a few groups to proliferate, further erasing genetic diversity.

Notice how they carefully dance around what is by far the most likely reason most groups went extinct.

The survivors wiped them out. But in today's world we're supposed to think war and massacre was invented by white men, mostly Americans.

"If these guys on the other side of the river spoke a different language and had different weapons, you would not try to mate with them or they might kill you,"

LOL. Is this what he meant to say?

Ping for...I gotta think about this later.

[BenLurkin]

I thought the reason was that some catastrophy almost wiped out humanity — to the point that there were very few ancestors of the current population.

Or was that last years “scientific” theory?
