Not one thing I wrote is made up. You fvcking Africans always got to interject yourselves in noble civilizations. The Amhara, Habesha, and Tigriya are not ARABS. Don't you think if they were Arabs they would speak Arabic. The "arab" genes are indigenous to the Middle East (Asia) but those people are a different tribal group from indigenous Arabs and they don't even mingle with modern day "Arabs" from the Middle East. They only mingle within their own ethnicity. If those people are mix then they are mix with African not with "Arab."

Certainly if a God exists he must be a powerful being. If he had the ability to write the laws his powers must transcend them. Some people believe in a finite God with limitations on power. Others believe in an Omnipotent God that can do anything. I think the laws of the universe suggest that there is a lawgiver but I find it strange that an omnipotent being would hide from its creation.
You mean the fact that God is a spiritual being containing no mass and not subject to the laws of this Universe makes you doubt in the existence of such a being even though I specifically stated that for God to exist he must have such qualities?
God is a time traveler and therefore is not made up of matter found in this Universe. We were formed specifically for sensing forces in this Universe - primarily the electro magnetic fields that we see about us. We have a very limited ability to sense things. Most of God's creation can sense a great deal better than we can.
I suppose you want God to be something other than what he is. That is a strange request. Turn yourself into something I understand and can sense and then I will believe. I understand why such a being would go to such extremes to nudge history in a certain direction but it seems pointless to continue to do that all the time. For if such a being revealed himself to a generation, certainly the next would not believe unless that had direct sense of such a being. God would be trapped in having to always prove his existence to everyone all the time and everywhere. It would be an endless show when God's creation - the laws - should be sufficient enough.

Great points about God. Let me just add that God did "USE" to let himself be known by man. In the Bible God always had to reveal himself to the Israelis by prophets because the Isrealis always disobeyed gods teachings. He would allow them to be captured and when they recanted worshipping false gods, he would bring them backk to him.
Gotta love God who does not give up on us Humans, he is nothing like man.
Peace

It doesn't matter. Africans worship anything but the Creator, so I have no doubt that they will worship Thor.
Are you on drugs or something? Why would africans worship a VIKING God? That doesnt even make sense? Most africans probably dont even know who Thor is.
They would worship a viking God because they are pagans. Africans will worship anything, but the creator.
So you agree europeans are pagans as well then. lol this is sad. And for your information christianity is widespread in Africa.
Europeans at one time were pagans but they had enough brains to ditch the primitive pagan lifestyle. Africans are still playing catch-up.
Yeah, but who gave it to them? Do you even see the history of whites in the Bible at all? I think not. Egyptians, Ethiopians, Sumerians, and others were all black nations as they were Hamites. None of the history of the Japhethites are mentioned in the Bible anywhere. If it hadn't been for us they would be pagans still. [/QUOTE]
Your azz is in dreamland. No African gave europeans christianity. The early christians were made up of Greeks and Hebrews. There are white people all through the bible you idiot. What you don't find in the bible are Africans. All the black Africans in the bible were hamitic descendants who were the indigenous people of the Middle East and North East Africans. You don't find Central Africans, Bantus, West Africans, or Southern Africans in the bible. You don't even find East Africans in the bible with the exception of cushitic groups. The Greeks and macedonians and others are jaspheth descendants and you find them in the bible. [/QB][/QUOTE]
FYI - you contradict yourself:
You said: What you don't find in the bible are Africans. All the black Africans in the bible were hamitic descendants who were the indigenous people of the Middle East and North East Africans.
In one sentence you say: you don't find in the bible Afircans. In the next you say: black Africans in the Bible were Hamitic.
Very typical of someone who cannot accept what the Bible specifically states and what genetics proves. We all have a common ancestor. If we are going to try to go by Biblical concepts of race then ALL Black Africans are Hamitic. Period.
What you said stinks of multi-regional racism. Which implies Africans have a non-Adamic ancestry. A very convenient rationalization due to racist sentiments but is entirely a fabrication and has no relevance in the Bible and is in fact not supported by any actual cutlural, linguistic or any other type of scientific evidence or religious doctrine.
Not that I accept the flood myth or the Garden of Eden but I do find it interesting that the Natufians appear to have been clearly central African people and yet lived in Canaan. In fact, this has shaken my belief in current theories of man's origins. The fact that the Natufians are actually a population group that contained people of the Niger/Congo physiognomy, supports the Biblical account of creation to a point I had never suspected.

If God is Omnipotent he can take any form he wants which means he can have mass if he wants to, he can make himself known to the world if he wants to and according to the Bible he has done so several times yet mysteriously in the modern age evidence of his existence is nowhere to be found.
I don't think it is unreasonable for God to guide humanity by simply making himself known. Do you know how many people would become believers if they had proof of God? Instead we are taught to adhere to faith in something unproven in a world where evidence is valued.
I'm on the fence because I do find the universe to be amazing and its order suggests a creator yet life is so imperfect and without evidence an afterlife seems like wishful thinking and a comfort for the living who know that death is an inevitable fate.

Shut the fvck up, I didn't contradict myself and don't twist what the fvck I said. It is your belief that Africans belong to Ham. I said that the only black people you find in the bible are Hams descendants who are the Cushitic groups of North East Africa and indigenous black groups of the Middle East even Arabs. There is no evidence in the bible that West Africans and Southern Africans and even East Africans are Ham descendants. All of Ham descendants that you read in the bible are all in North east Africa or the middle East. Who knows what family branch West Africans, Central and Southern Africans came from. They are probably Jaspheth descendants. The bible don't get into every family branch or nation; it only cites the "important ones". That is why you don't find Nordics, Africans (with the exception of North East Africans), Chinese, Native Americans, Mongols, Australian Aborigines, etc... in the bible. The black people you read in the bible are not west/central/southern Africans. You know in got damn well you people were too primitive to live that noble.

Firstly, I never said Hebrews weren't black. They were black but they looked nothng like your typical African. They looked Asian more like black indigenous groups of India or more like the "cushitic" groups of Africa. They had hair that was jet black, soft, and can grow long; they had smooth soft delicate skin, and fine features. Moses wasn't mistaken for an Egyptian. Where is the evidence that moses was mistaken for an Egyptian.

The table of nations mentioned in the Bible have nothing to do with how advanced the cultures were. The authors mentioned only the parts of the world known to them.
They don't mention Northern Europeans, other regions of Africa, East Asia, Australia or the Americas because noone had been to those regions of the world at the time. That's just common sense.

In Exodus after fleeing Egypt Moses rescued the daughters of Jethro from some shepherds who were bullying them. They say that an Egyptian rescued them:
Exodus 2:17-19 - Some shepherds came along and drove them away, but Moses got up and came to their rescue and watered their flock. When the girls returned to Reuel their father, he asked them, "Why have you returned so early today?" They answered, "An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds. He even drew water for us and watered the flock."
I wouldn't ascribe any racial meaning to this. According to the Bible Moses grew up in Pharaoh's court so culturally he was an Egyptian.

You're in dream land. All four corners of the earth was inhabited when God separated man. There was not a land or corner of the earth that wasn't inhabited. Read the bible. The bible only cite the families (nations) that are "important" or the families who make up the nations in the region(s) were the events in the bible take place.
Genesis 11:8, So the LORD scattered them ABROAD from thence (Shinar) upon the face of ALL the earth; and they left off to build the city. 11:9, Therefore is the name of it called BABEL; because the LORD there (Shinar/Babel) confound the language of ALL the earth; and from thence (BABEL) did the LORD scatter them ABROAD upon the face of ALL the earth.
Let's read what happened before; Genesis 11:4, And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, LEST WE BE SCATTERED ABROAD upon the WHOLE face of the earth.
Genesis 10:32, These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and BY THESE were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
The bible does not get into every family branch or every family generation. It only cite CERTAIN families, the more "important" ones or the people we read about in the bible in which the nations live in the region where all the events took place. So you are not going to find west/central/southern/eastern Africans in the bible because those people has nothing to do with the region or people we read about in the areas where the biblical events took place.

Biblical Punt is actually in Ethiopia, and its nation was also in the middle east. Let's not forgot that these people lived by nations.

You're a fvcking dummy. I said we don't know where the west/central/southern/east africans come from because the bible never tells you. They could have came from any of the three sons. We can't rule out Jaspheth or Shem or they could have branch off from families from all three brothers. I just know that we can't use the bible to prove that west/central/southern/eastern (noncushitic stocks) Africans come from Ham because you will not find any such thing in the bible. The bible don't speak of those type of black people. Where is Japheth described as being white. How can he be white if Noah and his sons were black? I suppose they had a black child; white child; and chinese child.

Who is you people? I am of Oromo and Jewish heritage. However, if you had any sense at all you would connect the dots with the rest of Africa from a sensible point of entry through NE Africa down the Nile and then across the Niger/Congo rivers into West Africa.
So of course if the Ethiopians are Hamitic then so must be the rest of Africa if man's origin is the fertile crescent. It is the natural course of migration.
Also, as for central Black Africans in the Bible.
Taharka's features are Black enough to be considered of the Niger/Congo family type.

The Hyksos ruled Egypt prior to the Moses period so by this time Egyptian people would have been rather racially diverse.

I believe that the story of the exodus is based in part on the expulsion of the Hyksos from Egypt. However, I do not equate Hyksos to Israel. I think we are looking at multiple Asiatic groups entering Egypt during the Hyksos period. The result was a change to the dominant racial type of the Egyptian people, especially in Lower Egypt.
One must accept that the Tamau must have been entering Egypt since pre-dynastic times.

Im not here to argue against evolution but the "US" that formed man in OUR image refers to the 3 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
The 3 represent The Father The Most High and the Word(The Spirit that was in Christ)or the Son and the Holy Spirit who gives men understanding...They being one means they work in one accord not that they are one being like the Roman Catholic Church claims. This is why Jesus claims very often..."I Was sent by My Father" or "I come not to do my will but the will of him who sent me" The Father created two spirits before he created the Earth, Heavens and man...Two Elohim http://strongsnumbers.com/hebrew/430.htm powers...The Word and the Holy Spirit...
Also you are right...Man was formed in a specific place...

Actually Moses was mistaken for an Egyptian: Exodus 2:18 18 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day? 19 And they said, An Egyptian(Moses) delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock
You don't have to stop at Moses...Joseph, and many Hebrews up even until Jesus and the Apostles day were mistaken as Egyptians.. Acts 21: 38 38Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days made an uproar, and led out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?
The Hebrews are always linked in some way, shape or form to the Sons of Ham(Mizriam, Kush, Canaan, and Phut) Mainly Mizriam and Kush and Canaan...Who by all accounts were Black People. The Land of Chaldea where Abraham Came from was founded by Ethiopians...The Hebrews married Canaanite and other Hamatic(Egyptians and Ethiopian) wives...Why not Japhetic Women or be mistaken for Japhetic famlies.
The Biblical Hebrews were Brown and Black skinned people and the best representation are the current population of Egypt where a remnant is still there...
Do you even read your bible??

''The Most High is a spirit...Skin color is and was irrelevent...''
So to get around this issue you use ''spirit.''
''It was White Europeans that made skin color a big deal when it comes to the Most High and worshipping him.''
Will the Chinese have anything to say about this color? Or doesn't it matter to them? Is there anything wrong with saying God is black?
In other words is there any solution in terms of color for those whom don't accept the spirit route?
''...and use Christ as an example of laying down your life for the Father which is in Heaven.''
Some evangelicals say Christ is God in heaven. If the people in that part of the world were at least brownskinned a couple of thousand years ago, including Jesus, then doesn't it follow God is brownskinned also, if Christ is God? And to get around this you will still may say a spirit is involved?

Amhara,Tigreans are not mixed with arabs or europeans u need to get your facts straight. The language of Tigreans,and Tigre is related to Aramaic,Hebrew,and Arabic semitic languages Ethiopia alone has more semitic languages than all of the socalled Middle east combined but Tigrinia,Tigre,and Amharic are not fully semitic languages there is a big cushitic element i am a speaker of arabic,tigre,beja,and tigrinia. EbonyAllen dont let the look of Amhara and Tigreans fool u into thinking like those European Bigots who claim them to be of arab european admixture because of a look that is not even of european or arab origin.
If u claim Amhara,Tigreans,and Tigre to be of Arab European admixture then u Must as Well include all of Northern Sudan, the socalled Nubians of Northern Sudan Southern Egypt, Beja of Egypt,Sudan,Eritrea,Somali,Dijbouti they look no different than your socalled Admixtured Amhara,Tigrean,Tigre of eritea,NOrth ethiopia.
Somali,Oromo,Afar,Saho,Bilen,and Agaw are all Cushitic languages spoken by those different groups of people Somalia,Oromo-southern ethiopia, Afar-eritrea,djbouti, Saho-eritrea, Bilen-eritrea, Agaw-northwest ethiopia. These people look no different than there Amhara,Tigrean,and Tigre brothers.

The distribution of sex-specific human genetic variation in Ethiopia.
Ethiopia has been proposed as a candidate location for the emergence of anatomically modern humans, and the source region for the expansion out of Africa. It is also a region of substantial cultural diversity as expressed in languages (Nilo-Saharan, Cushitic, Semitic, and Omotic language families), religions (Christians, Jews, Moslems and Animists), ethnic identities (over 80 groups) as well as many marginalised groups socially excluded on grounds of caste-like occupation, supposed origin, or both. The demographic history of Ethiopia over the past several thousand years has involved both sustained migration of Semitic speakers from the Arabian Peninsula as well as internal conquests of lands in the south. To investigate the demographic histories of ethnic groups we analysed a battery of SNPs and microsatellites on the non-recombining portion of the Y chromosome (NRY) and sequence variation in the Hypervariable Segment 1 (HVS1) of mtDNA (5756 samples from 45 ethnic groups). Commonly used summary statistics (gene diversity h, genetic distance Fst) were analysed within the context of non Ethiopian data e.g. West Africa (Igbo, Nigeria) and Europeans. We present preliminary results reporting a wide range of genetic diversity values within ethnic groups (h: NRY = 0.743 - 0.972, HVS1 = 0.962 - 0.996) and pairwise genetic distance values between groups (Fst: NRY = 0.000 - 0.294, HVS1 = 0.000 - 0.035). A clustering of Ethiopian groups was observed when using principal coordinate analyses with genetic distances, appearing midway between a West African Niger-Congo speaking group (Igbo of Nigeria) and an Indo- European speaking group (Greek Cypriots). Some south-western groups (e.g. Anuak) showed greater similarity to West-Africans while the culturally influential Amhara were more similar to Europeans.

First of all, be polite. Second, anybody at all familiar with population genetics should know that there are numerous studies showing that Horners in general have an Fst distance intermediate between the W Eurasian cluster and the W,S African cluster

So you're telling me this has nothing at all to do with the fact that Ethiopia is the point of origin for all humans, and the fact they Ethiopians carry a subset of genetic diversity found in the rest of Africa as well as non Africans?

That's exactly the reason: if the ancestral hss population originated in E Africa, then all other pops (including present day Africans) diverged from it, in different directions. IOW, an Eskimo is just as much descended from this ancestral pop as is a Yoruba. In fact, Tishkoff and others believe there was deep ancestral structure in Africa before OOA, and that "non-Africans" evolved in Africa before some of them left. Thus, if true, there would remain a "non-African" remnant in E Africa (although migrations from SW Asia also affected the area)that shows up in so many papers. See Tishkoff's latest study.

Of course non Africans were in Africa first and then migrated out, but they were still Africans while in Africa before leaving.
This is noted due to the fact that East Africans carry the ancestral lineages for all non Africans, this is why Ethiopians and Somalis appear intermediate as explained.
Of course Tishkoff is not saying the non African population became non African inside of Africa and left non African genetic diversity in East Africa, that doesn't even make sense, they were still African while in Africa hence the genetic diversity was/is African..
When the East African population migrated out of Africa never to return is when the linages that derived from then on became non African, and sorry but as Tishkoff notes this intermediate position is due to local evolution and NOT admixture with Eurasians!
Take note;
Comparative genetic studies on geographically diverse populations provide evidence of high levels of diversity in continental Africa. Sarah Tishkoff and her colleagues (1986) find an intermediate pattern of genetic variation at the CD4 locus in northeastern (actually Horn) African populations. They explain this by local evolution and not by admixture with Eurasians. In essence they are describing a gradient of differentiation. The Horn, largely at the latitude of Nigeria, contains a subset of the diversity seen in other African regions. Tishkoff and her colleagues suggest that the Horn's inhabitant's are the local descendants of those who left Africa to populate the world. -- S.O.Y. Keita
Also note;
Cavalli-Sforza: Genes, Culture, and Human Evolution. Pg 187.
..."In other words, all non-Africans carry M168. Of course, Africans carrying the M168 mutation today are the descendants of the African subpopulation from which the migrants originated.... Thus, the Australian/Eurasian Adam (the ancestor of all non-Africans) was an East African Man." Posts: 6572 | From: N.Y.C....Capital of the World | Registered: Jun 2008

Yes, there was an "African subpopulation" from which "non-Afs" descend. That sub-pop was already differentiated from other pops (plural) that were in Africa. There's a lot of confusion, I think, over the the labels "african" and "non-african" I believe that pops should be named in non-geographic terms, like cluster X or Y or Z. The deepest split in Hss is between some Africans and everybody else. Call the former X and the latter Y and I think the situation would be clearer; then populations would be described by biological cluster and geography wouldn't confuse things.
As for Cavalli-S and the 2/3 Asian, 1/3 African business, I reserve judgment, because this depends on which "Africans" he means. So at this point I have no opinion on it, though it is a very interesting statement, and I'll keep it in mind. It does appear, on its face, to contradict what Tishkoff and Wilson say.
Again, I urge you to read the Tishkoff paper. It's the most exhaustive study on Africa so far.

You still make no sense, why? Because you're still confusing the local evolution of horn African population as some magical split from the rest of Africa that somehow makes Ethiopians, Somalis etc.. genetically closer to Eurasians than other indigenous Africans.
This simply is not true. The split or intermediary position is simply because all non Africans possess a subset of East African diversity, and East Africans possess a subset of diversity seen in other African regions, hence this intermediary position is actually not what you think it is, it's not due to admixture from Eurasians, but rather the fact that Eurasians (as all non Africans), descend from a subset of East Africans.
As explained ad nauseum.

Huh? Where did you come out with that one? I didn't mention Sforzas Europeans whom he notes as being 1/3rd African and 2/3rd Asian.
I provided you with a quote from Sforza where he notes that all non Africans carry M168 and that the ancestor of all non Africans was an East African man, hence the intermediary position genetically, this is very much in line with Tishkoff and every other geneticist.

If E africa was the homeland of hss, then other parts of Africa had originally only a subset of E African ancestry, not the other way around. How could the place of origin have less diversity than somewhere else? All modern pops descend from a subset of ancient E Af diversity.
The E af man: another example of confusion, I believe, between biology and geography. Most Africans males, and all Eurasian males are descended from him. He lived in E Africa, but he was no more an "African" in the modern sense than he was "non-Af." You're overlooking the element of time.
As for C-S's statement, I included it because it forms a reservation in my mind about my theory above. I apologize for your thinking I attributed it to you.
As for Tishkoff's study, could you tell me where it is in the forum?

I said the intermediary position of Horners' was due to the pre OOA evolution in Africa of Cluster Y. Later there was admixture between them and elements of Cluster X. The Fst distance (co-efficent of co-ancestry or biological kinship) between Horner's and the Yoruba is not magical, it's biological, and involves deep population structure in Pre-OOA Africa.
From Tishkoff's latest:
"When two clusters are assumed in the STRUCTURE analysis (K = 2), individuals can primarily be assigned to African (orange) or non-African (blue) clusters, consistent with the PCA (Fig. 3). Individuals from Saharan and Eastern Africa show heterogeneous ancestry, reflecting descent from populations ancestral to non-Africans and/or gene flow from non-Africans into Africa."
"African and non-African Associated Ancestral Clusters
based on the populations showing the highest levels of ancestry for each inferred ancestral cluster) are highly divergent."
"The Africa-wide STRUCTURE result (Fig. S13) largely recapitulates the African PCA results. Specifically, the western and eastern African populations were distinguishable at K=2..."

What are you talking about? Where did I say the place of origin had less diversity?

Yes.

Of course he was an African biologically and geographically, M168 is/was African and still is.
The east African population that non Africans descend from is not the same population "most" Africans on the continent descend from either, as noted this would actually be some Africans particularly East Africans (Horn) who are the local descendent's of the ancestors of all non Africans who didn't leave Africa.
Glad you mentioned the element of time also since A.M.H had been evolving inside of Africa for 140kya and diversified throughout the continent within this time before a subset of East Africans even made their first successful migration out of East Africa to become ancestors of non Africans.
So for these 140kya they weren't Africans? Lol you make no sense at all.

No prob, well in any case if you would like to address Cavalli and his noting of Europeans being 1/3rd African and 2/3rd Asian you can.
Heres an example...
The fact that Europeans are closest genetically to Africans whereas the original OOA populations I.e, Oceanians, appear furthest away genetically from Africa, so if Oceanians and Europeans are part of the same non-African OOA population structure, then Europeans should be as distant genetically from Africans, as Oceanians are correct? If this is not due to post OOA migrations into Europe from Africa, then what is it?

Wow, you really don't get it, the fact that this is due to local evolution and not admixture from non Africans, again why?
Well because all non Africans possess a subset of East African diversity, and East Africans possess a subset of diversity seen in other African regions, hence this intermediary position is actually not what you think it is, it's not due to admixture from Eurasians, but rather the fact that Eurasians (as all non Africans), descend from a subset of East Africans.

MindoverMatter718 thank you u make the most sense and what u said above needs no more explaining All Non africans descended from a subset of East Africans Wonderful.
Sudanese,Beja,Eritreans,Ethiopians,Somalians,and Djboutins look all the same like they related somehow
