Topdog, Much definition is needed since our environmental social constructs are different. For one European history and American history are like night and day. I have no idea what a dark skinned Caucasian is but American influenced history tells me Hindus and some dark skinned Arabs are known to be such while knowing when they become terroist, that title of Caucasian is taken from them are they revert to the n*word of its many variations. New n* as it were! I know Caucasian to be the peopel of the Caucasus area but they are minorities. I know the area is homogenous enough to be considered a 'cradle' because they were no know African and Asiatic presence (modern day thought) so for the people of the day (Coon/Goebells, etc that was a source of origin, real or imaginery. There may be some truth just like saying all Arabs are terrorists (some are) in the same vein as R lineage is equated with light skinned Caucasian while J&G are dark skinned! I have known mixed heritage with blue green eyes (my own childern) while some officially recognized Caucasians with brown eyes.

In reference, it is better to compare Northern European (NE)with Southern Europe and observe the frequency with Eab*. If absent in N. Europe and present in S. Europe (frequency) then it would be sensible to conclude the genotype is due to recent 'drift'(immigration). IP: Logged |

quote: That the inability to read is a known trademark of ginney pussy, is no news. For instance, the implications of the following were lost on ginney pussy: Sanchez et al., 2005: "The time of the eastbound Bantu expansion was expected to be 3400+/- 1100 years ago. Bantu populations have high frequencies of E3a haplogroups. 4 We have observed only a few individuals with the E3a haplogroups in our Somali population, thus, supporting the view that the Bantu migration did not reach Somalia." It has been suggested that a barrier against gene flow exist in the region. The barrier seems to be Cushitic languages and cultures to which Somalis belongs. The Cushitic languages belong to the Afro-Asiatic languages that are spoken in Northern and Eastern Africa. The Cushitic languages and cultures are mainly found in the Somalis and the Oromos, one of the two main groups inhabiting Ethiopia. 44-46 The Somalis and Oromos have a high degree of similarity and the two populations share many cultural characteristics . The Somali and Oromo people live in clans with special patterns of marriage and Somali and Oromo have complex, interwoven pedigrees. 44, 45..." And… "Cruciani et al suggested that E3b1 cluster lineages originated in East Africa and estimated that the TMRCA was approximately 9600 years. We estimated that the E3b1 cluster DYS392-12 lineages of the present Somali population sample originated 4000-5000 years ago, and that the expansion of E3b1 cluster DYS392-12 lineages in these Somalis involved a relatively small Y chromosomes (around 1000 males)."
"...Recently, it has been proposed that **E3b originated in sub-Saharan Africa** and expanded into the Near East and northern Africa at the end of the Pleistocene (Underhill et al. 2001). E3b lineages would have then been introduced from the Near East into southern Europe by immigrant farmers, during the Neolithic expansion (Hammer et al. 1998; Semino et al. 2000; Underhill et al. 2001)”- Cruciani et al. And what does Sanchez et al 2005 acknowledge?... Although the Horn of Africa is considered a geographic part of sub-Saharan Africa, we have analysed the Somali population separately in order to be able to compare the results with previously published data from other African populations. Now, let's keep in mind that borderline Europeans carry substantial amounts of sub-Saharan tropical African E3b lineages, for which the Greeks provide a pristine example: Greek It can then be concluded that Greeks, in the context of their 22% sub-Saharan lineages, are much closer to sub-Saharan Black Africans, than they are to de-pigmented northern Europeans, who have very little to near absent amounts of these recent Black African lineages. The same applies with west Asians who carry these recent sub-Saharan lineages; they are obviously related to sub-Saharan Black Africans, due to the fact. Another demonstration: An outlier European who carries E3b1 is naturally going to be more closer to an E3b1 Black African, than an E3a Black African,well...because, we are talking about E3b1. But this has no bearings on the very close bond b/n E3a and E3b, than they are to any other haplogroup. Also it can be said that since outlier Europeans, e.g., Greeks, carry these lineages, they are closer to E3a carrying sub-Saharan Black Africans, than Europeans who carry R1b lineages, as demonstrated by the following:

The study equates higher frequencies of E3b, J2 and G with dark-skinned "Caucasians" and higher frequencies of R1b and I with pale-skinned "Caucasians". Note: EA1 denotes pale-skinned 'Caucasians' "Diversity was low in the EA1 database, comprised almost entirely of individuals Thus, the more E3b, J2 and G the darker a person becomes in Europe and the igher R1b and I the more 'pale-skinned one becomes. I believe this is what Thought was hinting at sometime ago. E3b, and J2 are non-European where as R1b and I are European. Greeks have higher levels of E3b and J2 than Western Europeans, thus are darker and gentically less 'European' than *REAL* Europeans who have predominant R1b and I lineages. The more one travels southeast in Europe the less genetically 'European' they become. [This message has been edited by Topdog (edited 12 August 2005).] IP: Logged |

Relaxx,I don't think Europeans particularly resemble Bantu any more than any other group that migrated out of Africa does. What is more to the point is that the study in the parent post divides Europeans into two groups, one of which is heterogeneous and the other homogeneous. Diversity was low in the EA1 database - Wetton Diversity is lower in Ea1 [northwest europe] and higher in Ea2 [southern europe]. Why is that?

Euro, Spain as you know is not homogenous but it has retained its 'heterogeneity" based on the provinces since at least 711. Location of sample taking will affect results in that Galicia (North) has more Celtic strains, the Basques their unique 'isolationist' gene pool, Catalonia with its 'French' background (antiquity?) and the South, the usual pool of samples. Immigration within the last 50 years may have provided outliers enough to ascertain %'s within samples. IP: Logged |

Relaxx: Then, with respect, I'll offer you some other opinions as well: * I don't think you want to atempt to relate 'bantu' a language groiup to a phenotype. * One of the reasons 'argument by pictures' alone is ineffective is because it is inherently subjective, selective and easily contradicted. For example: for every picture spam awale posts attempting to de-africanise the somali, it is easy to post pictures of the blackest, curly haired African Somali you can imagine. This is why awales anti-intelligent approach to 'argument' is always self defeating....unless one chooses play along with it, then it insults your intelligence as well as his. * Specifically: Unless we can show a specific relationship based upon peer reviewed anthropology of "bantu" and "southern european" phenotypes, then we shouldn't say europeans look like proto-bantu. No offense. It's because you are so much more intelligent than the likes of Erroneous and Awale that I hate to see you 'stoop' to anywhere near their level. peace.

Although specific information on the ancestry of any particular individual in the sample is not available, generally all individuals should be considered examples of this group. Table 3 presents the race classification of all individuals in this sample using the Forensic Data Bank option. Of the 95 individuals, 42 (44 percent) were classified as white, 35 percent as black, 9 percent as Hispanic, 4 percent as Japanese, 4 percent as American Indian, and the remaining three individuals as Chinese and Vietnamese. The 95 individuals classified into 21 different groups from 15 different countries of Australia, Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas.

That map is no different from the many educated interpretations, which *consistently* show the frequency of sub-Saharan Black African E3b lineages in and outside Africa.

Here is my interpretation of the article:
However, the frequent occurrence (7%) of the E3a sub-Saharan African haplogroup that has previously been shown to be virtually absent from the indigenous UK and European populations [23,24] suggests recent admixture with Afro-Caribbeans in the UK, resulting in an association between African Y chromosomes and a Caucasian appearance."
First we have a statement that suggest that E3b is associated with a Caucasian appearance. The author then actually undermines that point by providing conflicting evidence (the however) that states that E3a can be found at a frequency of 7% amongst the UK. This illustrates that even though a person has 7% sub-Saharan genes they can still appear Caucasian. The point the author is trying to make is that we should not associate the Y-chormosome with phenotypes or at least that good arguably good reasons why one should not.
