Hello les enfants

[Petalpusher]

After spending about a week trying to get the damn verification code im finally in there. I recently picked interest in antropolgy and whatnot, im reading the forum for quite sometime now and appreciate the freedom of speech and all theses cryptic convos about classifications (i reckon i find it a bit hilarious when no one agree with each other).
Really, i thought it was time to register and partake this non sense as well.

Besides, i live in France, im into Cosmology and have anti-democratic fevers at time, but im alright for now.

Hello!

Welcome to The Apricity Forums. This is a very fun place to learn about and exchange European culture and art, and discuss anthropology, archaeology, history, prehistoric civilizations and anything that pertains to europe, its people, its colonies, and its culture. This is a free speech forum that lets people with all different views discuss all different subjects so long as they can stop short of calling on genocide of each other, but just remember a lot of it is pure BS. Especially Out of Africa theory. That's why I greet every new member with this short list of facts that help them decide for themselves in a fair and balanced manner that this theory is a lie originating as part of the plan to disenfranchise europeans from their land and marginalize their political power.

Check it out:

First off, why is the Out of Africa theory pressed so hard in the media?

This can be summed up by the illogical and comical theories of the fraudulent psuedoscientist Trofim Lysenko. Lysenko came up with the wildly popular idea that actual genetics didn't matter much for the end result in plant genetics. For political reasons this appealed greatly to the Soviets. Unfortunately it didn't help with the terrible famine they were enduring, but to them that was secondary to finding a 'scientific' reason that genes could be ignored as a source of realized traits. The point to them was to prove that all men were equal not in some spiritual abstract way but in a cold hard, exacting one size fits all communist brotherhood way in which all that mattered was someone having the proper political beliefs (brainwashing). Communism failed in Russia but that has not stopped the attempted and rather successful infiltration to the west, which apparently will suffer at least some of the same scourges in time.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysenkoism

What's puzzling however is how easily this is swallowed, and for simple reasons. If you don't go along with the bogey man you are declared a conspiracy theorist and can forget about working in academia. This is another tactic originating in the Soviet Union. People with 'incorrect' political ideas are declared mentally ill and never seen from again. Notice that this is often the case for criminals in Europe who show political motivation. Mere murder or assault gets you a slap on the wrist but go against the system and you are locked away and never heard from again. It's a highly frustrating situation for champions of neanderthals for example, because anything impressive found to be neanderthal in origin (and there is a lot) is a challenge to the oppressive academic system and just as politically incorrect as racist diatribes would be - theya re generally considered synonymous in fact.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sluggish_schizophrenia

So there is little direct challenge to Out of Africa, even though it's easy to debunk and there's not one shred of real evidence for it. Even so most if not all archaeological papers actually support multiregional evolution theories! However they simply ignore the verbotten out of africa topic and present facts instead.

Yet it is fairly easy to debunk, so let's take a look at the facts, shall we?

IDB segments in west africans show they have much greater DNA sharing with bonobo chimps than anyone outside africa. The same has been discovered for many hominid mixtures – they are localized. How is this possible in an out of africa scenario?

http://dienekes.blogspot.com/2012/12...t-al-2012.html

The 37k year old hofmeyr skull is completel unlike negroid skulls. It it much like eurasian skulls yet more primitive compared to concurrent skulls ineurasia. This shows that at the time an out of africa event would supposedly be happening, an into africa migration is what was really happening.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hofmeyr_Skull

The first cromag skulls only show up in africa about 30k years ago, much later than in Europe, and again they have smaller braincases than those in europe. This is now recognized as a 'back migration' to africa but tell me why do we have evidence of the back migration and not the initial one? And if all these 'finnish looking' people came from africa, then why don't they exist there today? Genetics also show they do not originate in africa, if you doubt the archaeology.

Archaeology says there's continuity in asia and europe for a million years or more.

In this thread I take a look at a hilarious paper that claims that modern humans invented everything while surrounded by neanderthals on every side. In spite of the fact there is no evidence these 'modern' humans were not neanderthals, and no actual fossil remains exist in the area except neanderthal ones! Obviously there is some big bias against neanderthals, which I suppose there must be if you believe they are nothing to do with people today but find evidence they actually invented everything in the ancient world from thread to makeup to short oceanic voyages.

Evidence that dozens of hominids contributed to human DNA. All african populations show evidence of migration into africa. No population shows evidence of migration out of africa.
"We detect likely West Eurasian gene flow into the ancestors of Yoruba West Africans within the last ten thousand years, which indirectly contributed a small amount of Neandertal ancestry to Yoruba."

"These results mean that we have not identified any sub-Saharan African sample that we are confident has no evidence of back-to-Africa migration. Our best candidate at present is the Dinka but it is possible that with a phased genome or large sample sizes we would detect evidence of non-African ancestry in this population as well."
http://dienekes.blogspot.com/2013/12...mountains.html

Eventually even the guy who came up with the idea realizes 100k+ years is really the minimum age mixing started with neanderthal to others. However he's looking at people far away from the neanderthals sequenced and the actual data shows a clear slow mixing/diffusion not some absurd single time mixing or even 2-3 times of mixing it was later changed to. The results in modern people would be impossible to replicate in such a manner.

Oldest mtdna divide for humans in EUROPE.

OoA was supposed to happen 30k-50k years ago but we have genetically sequenced very modern east asians in beijing at 40k years ago.
http://dienekes.blogspot.com/2013/01...yuan-cave.html
And in siberia one that's even older at 45k years old.

Upper Paleolithic fossils go TO african from arabia, not the other way around. The paper's author himself talks in detail about driving around and digging and finding more modern tools towards arabia. That culture probably is influenced/spawned from aurignacian, even further off in europe or iran. That's right, cromag type originates in europe and nowhere else. This is why they stopped using this term in favor of the imaginary "anatomically modern humans" who suddenly show up - though there is absolutely no fossil record of them or any archaeological culture they might have come from!
http://dienekes.blogspot.com/2013/12...lithic-in.html

In same vein, nubian complex (often pointed to as african in origin to support out of africa) is obviously exotic to africa and goes into africa.

Dogs were domesticated in Europe. By the dates given, by neanderthals. Note that only europids really like dogs, too.
http://dienekes.blogspot.com/2013/11...ated-dogs.html


This alone is enough to kill out of africa. Last video shows that pygmies in africa intermixed with an archaic hominid that has no genes outside of africa 100K years ago. This means that rhodiensiensis in south africa is nothing at all to do with human evolution, and it also means that modern humans did not arrive in africa until 100k years ago or so. It also shows that neanderthal are at the root for many cladal gene structures, just not the ones for y-dna and mtdna. This is impossible for any OoA scenario.

North Africans...came from Iberia.

And some genetic evidence to back it up.

Interestingly, data supports san coming TO africa as easily as FROM africa. Which makes perfect sense as they are asiatic in appearance.
http://dienekes.blogspot.com/2013/06...ration-to.html

And combined with this which shows lots of intermixing with eurasia, it's confirmed they had eurasian admixture before they got to africa (this is from populations with no exposure outside their little tribes until very recently, who remain pure).

Forested Nkongho-Mbo pygmie region source of y-dna A00, so called oldest human y-dna. Which is also a hotspot for r1b admixture from europe. 9/13 A00 were actually found in france in seeming non-africans, but it's been labeled as african anyhow.

Modern humans have been in china have been dated to around 100k years ago, making any recent out of africa hypothesis implausible.
http://dienekes.blogspot.com/2013/07...rn-humans.html

Here is typical a OoA enthusiast. Accuses someone of racism and falsifying data, and then is caught falsifying data himself. Is not a real scientist at all, just an idiot with a political agenda.

This fraud is the one who came up with this particularly laughable bit of pseudoscience which supposedly justifies out of africa:

As well as having much bigger brains than people today, neanderthals could talk.
http://dienekes.blogspot.com/2013/12...ould-talk.html

Here's another one that, all on its own, debunks out of africa. As early as 12k years ago, fossils in sub saharan africa show no signs of modernity, and are much less modern than much older fossils in east africa and outside of africa. The "failed out of africa" skulls from middle east 90k years ago also show striking similarity to upper paleolithic european skulls (and metrically are a hybrid between neanderthal and modern europeans). So the further from africa you get the more like modern humans the skulls look, in all time periods! Not to mention the brain volumes are consistently lower. If they came out of africa, this is impossible.
http://dienekes.blogspot.com/2011/09...-features.html

30-40k BC neanderthal-modern hybrid found, genetically sequenced. Since we have actually found one, obviously it happened all the time and wasn't a one time thing. This also happened in italy, destroying the silly theories that it was some one time event in levant during a mythical out of africa mass migration.
http://www.nbcnews.com/science/first...ug=sciencemain

the study of modern populations has revealed evidence for both archaic African, and -more recently and surprisingly- even a little archaic Eurasian ancestry in virtually all Sub-Saharan Africans. Populations from one of the presumed cradles of H. sapiens (Eastern Africa) are now conclusively known to be recent mixtures of West Eurasians, and even the Bushmen of southern Africa, the subject of so many TV documentaries as an exemplum of the ur-Humans did not escape this admixture. That's right, archaic european DNA made it to africa while archaic african DNA never made it out at all.

The only ape fossil ever found to have a human finger-to-thumbpad grip is in EUROPE. Feet were also very humanlike. Many supposed upright walkers from africa are very doubtful. Yet we never hear about finds like this in the news.

Did europeans evolve directly from neanderthals? Were neanderthals really the foundation of the first cultures we consider to belong to 'modern' humans?

Bonjour chez toi, Gaulois ! (avec un seul "L")

First off, why is the Out of Africa theory pressed so hard in the media?

There might be another reason.
I don't have any severe objection against that theory since it implies that
(1) human beings are descended not from chimps but from niggers (why not?),
(2) or that blacks are not remnants of a previous stage of evolution, but on the contrary a quite recent degeneracy of the human species (there is a lot of evidence to support that thesis) that found parasitic niches like slavery, immigration, European medical science and welfare benefits without which it couldn't survive and multiply like it currently does.

Thanks, that's more than enough to make my day, and weeks. I ve read "human origins 101" yesterday as a starting point, wich sounded very ideological. Now i can get the other POV.

Tu as grâce à Melonhead (un chtarbé qui croit avoir un QI de génie) un avant-goût de pseudo-science et de négationnisme, très prévalents sur ce site comme tu devais le savoir avant même de t'inscrire.

Bienvenue.
