There are always people who feel more at home attacking to dominant power structure. It is a way of justifying their inablity to compete in the dominant culture. This is especially true in an era when Utopian philosophies are numerous. 'The Prince' and the tenents of social darwinism should be must reading for everyone. we have to understand that the strong and smart will always prevail under all possible circumstances. The weak will be subjecated and die under all possible circumstances. Even in our so called 'enlightened age' this continues to be the case, as it must be. IP: Logged |

Social Darwinism- descriptive term given to a kind of social theory that draws an association between Darwin's theory of the sequence of events involved in the evolutionary development of a species or evolution by natural selection, and the sociological relations of humanity. Critics of such theories argue that by asserting that societies develop and therefore operate by "natural" laws, the real aim of "Social Darwinism" theories is to rationalize and thereby legitimize the unequal and disproportionate divisions between and within societies. Critics may make note that Darwin's own work never contained the logical and naturalistic fallacies of assuming that the existence of natural processes would mean that they could "naturally" be extended from biological systems to social systems. In essence, it justifies the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer by incorrectly applying Darwin's theory. Mahciavellianism - being or acting in accordance with the principles of government analyzed in Machiavelli's The Prince, in which political expediency is placed above morality and the use of craft and deceit to maintain the authority and carry out the policies of a ruler is described.

spoken like a true Utopian rasol. The point is that if you put 10 people in a group and leave them there, one of them will take control. That individual is going to control a larger share of the groups power and resources than the others. Aristotle said it best when he defined man as motivated by "lust, rage and greed." Even racism is economic at its core. If you told white males that their personal wealth would be doubled by marrying a black woman they would all justify doing it. In other words, if you want to understand human beings....follow the money. that is the engine that makes social darwinism correct. IP: Logged |

Stupid-Euro, all of that stuff you posted has been refuted long time ago, many times, especially that ridiculous Aleksandra Pudlo 'Hamitic' theory! Nubians do not have "caucasoid" ancestry! Having a few cranial traits similar to "caucasoids" does not a "caucasoid" make! The term "caucasoid" is a vague and loose term anyway (one which you still have not defined )! Not only Nubians but Ethiopians and Somalis were classified a such and even Tutsis of Rawanda who are predominantly E3a, and even the Fulani of West Africa. I suggest you try a new method instead of rehashing old dead and buried theories. [This message has been edited by Djehuti (edited 05 July 2005).] IP: Logged |

actually most of the population of India is caucasoid and has been since pre historic times. As you may know the indo european group north of the black sea split with one part migrating towards europe (including the Greeks) and the other going in a southeasterly direction towards India, Afghanistan , Iran etc. Part of this group moved into North africa as well including Egyptians and others across to the atlantic.

R1B clade never migrated down into Egypt until 1000 BC. The only argument in regards to Caucasian Encient Egyptians you can make is the one that EvilEuro is making and that is the idea that there was an ancient Caucasian people in East Afica unrelated to R1B clade which is your predominant European marker. This is the idea of E3b being a Caucasian gene. However, this is quite absurd to consider these East African people to be Caucasians since True Caucasians do not have E3b at all. IP: Logged |

quote: Depends on what time period we are doing the comparison. Since Indian people are a mixture of Caucasian and Australoid (like the Geat Andamans), depending on how far back you go you'll find that there's less Caucasian influence in the gene pool of India resulting in people who do have features more similar to Nubian people like the Great Andamans. We have already discussed a lot about the first people of India. These are you first Indian people:
So to say that Nubians have some affinity with the original people of India doesn't really work well for your argument. And again, yes I understand that the author may not have meant this but then you didn't clarify your time period of comparison groups. So it is easy to undermine your point.

The whole racial debate about Egyptians is broadly baseless. It all has to do with a term that has no scientific merit because we have no way of being objective about it: and that term is RACE. Still, those that believe Blacks didn't have anything to do with Egypt have problems explaining the bust of Narmer or the latest in genetic evidence. Either way you want to define race the Egyptians seem to keep bobbing up a Black people. Push down the black apple in one area and another black apple bobs up to take its place. Stupid Hor is still stuck on the Aryan model. Even foolhearted EvilEuro is not that stupid. At least EvilE is attacking the real connection rather than using baseless arguements that have been quite refuted for some significant time. The arguement isn't even about Egyptians anymore, its goes much further down into Africa and becomes an arguement about the whole of East Africa. Egyptians are East Africans. IP: Logged |

While it's true that East Indians are not fully Caucasoid, in the genetic and craniometric maps I posted above, they group close to Eurasians and far from Sub-Saharan Africans. And Aleksandra Pudlo clearly states that she's talking about "influx of the Caucasoids from the regions of Levant, Mesopotamia, and India". IP: Logged |

What you fail to realize is that Nubians, Egyptians, and other East Africans like Ethiopians and Somalians do not fall outside the range of "Sub-Saharan" types and that there are peoples from other areas of Sub-Sahara including peoples in certain areas of Central Africa and in West Africa that have such features!! Also, Eurasians are diverse in features as well. Exactly which Eurasian feautures are you referring to? There are "mongoloid" peoples that possess affinities that some might consider "negroid", and there are many Eurasians like Andamanese who totally resemble the "true negroids" of the Guinea regions of West Africa, as we have shown you several times already!! Thus, your whole notion of "Eurasian" features being different from "Sub-Saharan", "true-negroid" features is a LIE!! You dirty, dishonest, dumb mut!

quote: Population of Nubia up to the 16th Century BC Aleksandra Pudlo "Starting from the Late Neolithic...similarities between the Nubians and the populations of Northeast Africa...and Asia...became even more distinct, which may prove the existence of strong ties derived probably from influx of the Caucasoids from the regions of Levant, Mesopotamia, and India. They were coming to Nubia through the Sinai Peninsula, but probably also through the south Saudi Arabia. The Kerma series from Upper Nubia shows particular similarities to the present-day Indian series. "From the Neolithic on, or possibly even earlier, the strategic location of Nubia, promoting contacts between various populations, started to bring about effects in the form of the civilizational development of this region. Finally, these two factors led to the Hamitisation process, whereby superimposition of the Caucasoids on the Negroids took place."
quote: In this autosomal DNA map, East Indians (including dark-skinned Dravidians) cluster in-between European and Asian groups, reflecting their mixed genetic heritage. They're far away from any African group.
In this craniometric map, East Indians cluster closest to Caucasoids. Nubians are located in-between them and Sub-Saharan Africans, which accords perfectly with Pudlo's finding of Caucasoid-Negroid admixture in Nubia.

quote: Yes I am ingorant of your foolish, outdated and moronic facts. I find it amusing at best to hear what garbage people use to think but have long since dropped as being scientific. One has to lower himself down to your level to have a discussion. You use terms and facts that are "misnomers", "misreprestations", "unscientific"! Lets just deal with one fact at a time. FACT: R1B is a marker for Cromagnon. I FACT: Western European people have this marker in a frequency of 70-90%. FACT: Most people consider TRUE Caucasians to be Western European people. Most people recognize that South East Europeans and East Indian people are not TRUE Caucasians but mixtures. FACT: R1B can be traced back to the Caucasus region. I would say that it is reasonable to call this a Caucasoid gene because it at least can be taced back to an area close to the Caucasus. FACT: You use a term like Caucasian knowing that it is: "an unscientific application", "a misnomer" and "not genetically relevant". FACT: I use the term to try to describe a group that historically migrated out of a certain area which can be shown via scientific methods. FACT: You use it to describe facial features that doesn't show ancestry, doesn't show commonality genetically, doesn't show region of origin. FACT: You seem to want to live in ignorance of the truth. If you are going to believe in a concept of race then you must drop the superficial subjective approach of comparing facial features and use genetics as a more objective approach. Consequently terms like Caucasian which are known misrepresentations and a complete misnomer should be dropped. With all that said let deal with the issue that you threw a Red Herring at. *Is Somalia in Sub-Saharan Africa?* If so, the map you provided as evidence that Nubian are intermediates between Sub-Saharan Africa and East Indian people thus boasting the idea of admixture, is "unscientific and fraud" = PSEUDO SCIENCE! At the same time. Terms like Caucasian, Negroid, Mongoloid, etc, are misnomers, misrepresentations and are unscientific. So how can we use this terms and be factual about anything we are saying! Conclusion: The whole debate is about Pseudo scientific concepts that means it makes us all look foolish talking about it! IP: Logged |
