Are Nilotic people Homo Sapiens Idaltu survivors?

[JeanBaMac]

When you look at Nilo-Saharan people (eg Dinka, Maasai etc.), you can see that they bear many similarities with the original Homo Sapiens (aka Idaltu people): tall stature, robust bodies, cranial shape etc.
Is it possible that they are Idaltu survivors?

[AphroditeWorshiper]

I think all the East Africans have some Idaltu admixture(Hamitic and Maasai too)

[XenophobicPrussian]

Yes, but I think even better examples of pure original homo sapiens are the Ethiopian Ari tribe and the Hadza from Tanzania. I know the Maasai have atleast a little Eurasian ancestry, and considering the location of the Dinka, it's highly likely they do too. The Ari people and Hadza people have none.

That could very well be the case since what you said makes logical sense especially in adaptive specializations (tall stature, cranial shape, and robust bodies) of hominins like you said. Since we share about ~98-99% of our dna with chimps; who is not to say the relatedness is not even more between early hominins? Nevertheless, every hominin has taken its own unique path in terms of adaptations to our environment, cognition and physical traits that slightly differentiate each subset of hominin populations that got absorbed by each modern population today that makes each population unique in that respect.

The truth is every population is a merger of each hominin depending on the geography the modern population is located. That includes Red Deer Cave peoples, Denisovans, Neandertals, Ergaster, Erectus, etc.

Even then, each population is predisposed to certain specializations that includes specific genes encoded for particular phenotypic traits, diseases, autosomal immunities, blood type and cognition, etc.

The Ari people

The truest Aryans ever!

Idaltu had a gracile body build.

The modern people you mention are even more gracile.

You almost cannot be tall and robust. Length detracts from robusticity. Robusticity is measured by width/diameter x 100 / length. It's literslly a measure of shortness.

The only people who manage to be tall and robust are professional bodybuilders who ingest gallons of steroids and insulin and spend hours a day working out for years at a time, and even then, they usually fail at it.

Its isn't confirmed if idaltu is a subspecies of sapiens. Possible they are just sapiens only (Homo sapiens sapiens).

Idaltu as homosapiens is bullshit promoted by the last holdouts of the Eve theory which has been destroyed. We know for certain that we are not the same species as Idaltu and that the Idaltu lineage is extinct. There is no one in Africa who looks anything like Idaltu, who was quite literally a fucking ghoul.

One of the funny things about these "archaic sapiens" African skulls is that they all have extremely narrow, pinched Caucasoid nasal openings. There's one trait that didn't survive in modern Africans.





Note how narrow the nasal openings of Rhodesian Man and Qafzeh 6 are compared to the Neanderthal in the middle.

Wide noses as recent adaptation?
