There is a National Geographic connection to this discovery/revelation and that connection will do everything possible to avoid the obvious six hundred and sixty six trillion ton stone elephant in the archeological cold room. Of course they will shoe horn that gigantic human footprint into a baby booty like they,ve done since thier inception

I was talking to my buddy from Ghana the other night and i mentioned this article. :lol: , he said that since he moved to Canada that he has noticed that his skin colour is a little more brown than it was black from when he lived in Africa.

He said he has the pictures to prove it. We both had a good chuckle.

That's a bit of a sweeping assumption to make.

That's like somebody thousands of years from now finding a skeleton of a 21st Century black man in France and then interpreting that as meaning that all, or most, French people in the 21st Century were black.

Everyone knew that Humanity originated from Africa

Europe was the birthplace of mankind, not Africa, scientists find

ancient hunter-gatherers of the far north were already pale and blue-eyed, but those of central and southern Europe had darker skin.

 

[Curious Cdn]

Oh, well. If the GUARDIAN said it, it must be true!

 

[Blackleaf]

Saying that early Britons were darkies just because the earliest known Briton, Cheddar Man, seems to have been one is a bit of a sweeping assumption to make. I'd be more impressed with such a claim had they found 1000 ancient British skeletons to have belonged to darkies.

Everyone was a "darkie" 10000 years ago because "whitey" skin is only about 5000 years old.

If that's the case, then why did scientists have to check his DNA to see what colour skin he had?

To confirm (or not) what the geneticists have discovered about our genome?

Isn't that how science works?

Well it says in the article that the results surprised scientists because they assumed that Britons at that time were white (which they may still have mainly been. Cheddar Man might have been an oddity).

I guess that scientific examination is re-writing old myths, eh?

They'll have to look at other remains (where they can sequence the who DNA map) and confirm/deny the theory.

Well, not really. I have already pointed out the obvious flaws in assuming the colour of most or all of an entire population of a land just on the basis of one skeleton.

Your not even a little bit curious, are you?

BTW, how old is the white skin gene?

Neanderthal Genes Help Shape How Many Modern Humans Look

October 5, 201712:31 PM ET

Neanderthals died out some 30,000 years ago, but their genes live on within many of us.

DNA from our shorter, stockier cousins may be influencing skin tone, ease of tanning, hair color and sleeping patterns of those of present-day Europeans, according to a study from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology published Thursday in the American Journal of Human Genetics.

Dannemann says they found multiple Neanderthal genes that affected hair and skin tone, some lighter and some darker. He says this suggests that Neanderthals themselves may have had variation in those traits too, meaning, maybe they too had a range of skin and hair tones.

Two new pieces of research have suggested that the ancestors of modern East Asians may have interbred with the now extinct Neanderthals far more than they did in Europe.

Analysis of the traces of Neanderthal DNA found in the genomes of modern humans has shown that people in East Asia carry between 15 to 30 per cent more of their DNA than Europeans.

Have they found "whitey" skin genes in Neanderthal sequences? It wouldn't surprise me but I doubt that they have as there are only a couple of complete Neanderthal genomes.

Is reading a trouble?

I thought the Pictures on page one were pretty clear and precise.

Most native Europeans have Neanderthal DNA.

Poor Backhead can't stomach the fact that his white racist bigotry has been shattered by this revelation.

You mean, the photos of Neanderthals?

Yeah.

Right.
