Are Australoids living Archaic Humans?

Are Australoids just living Archaic Humans or fossils?

if you look at some of the old skulls and their skulls, they are very similar crianologically speaking as well as other things

even their bodyshapes are that of early humans and their heights

and they tend to be very strong people physically and the women too

[Profileid]

No.
They're just people.

WOW

[AphroditeWorshiper]

No, because they have more Homo Sapiens ancestry, so they're not "Archaic humans"

but they have considerable Archaic hominid(Denisovan) genes

[Dominicanese]

No, because they have more Homo Sapiens ancestry, so they're not "Archaic humans"

but they have considerable Archaic hominid(Denisovan) genes

what i mean is

are they ancient homo sapiens

or are homo sapiens just another term to describe modern humans?

[LoLeL]

No, just more isolated.

No, their features are all surprisingly modern when you look more closely at them. Hkwever they do have more archaic human admixture than any living population. The average non-African has around 1.2% Neanderthal and roughly zero Denisovan A-DNA admixture. Australian Aboriginals have 1.5 Neanderthal and 0.895% Denisovan A-DNA admixture. They're not archaic humans by a long shot but this does go to show you how big of a difference 0.5% admixture can make.

Most of the aboriginal Australians facial features are quite different from archaic humans. Unfortunately no one knows for sure what Denisovsn facial features look like, but they were almost certainly nothing like Aboriginal Australians. Also, skeletally speaking, Aboriginal Australians were quite gracile. It's easy to take s close up picture of the most well-fed aboriginals and make them look muscular, but you have to take how close the camera is in to perspective. Most aboriginal australians were thin, linearly-built people, as you would expect low intensity foragers to be in a hot and waterless climate.




Like many modern hunter gatherers the Aboriginal Australians tend to have very small hands, specifically, the tips of the last digits of the fingers are sharp and narrow. Compare thr hand bones of an Australian Aboriginal to an early modern human from Skhul cave:





Compare that to the massive roundness, of an archaic human (Neanderthal):

[Hadouken]

The average non-African has around 1.2% Neanderthal

it is around 2.7%

[Grab the Gauge]

it is around 2.7%

Nope. That's the combined maximum of Neanderthal and Denisovan admixture. No population has 2.7% Neanderthal DNA today.
