It would mean that YOU are responsible for slavery.I kind ouf doubt this and also kind of have to agree with it. there have been arguments about this back and forth for a long time.
First the problem with the DNA thing is, Humanity outside of Africa seems to have come from a very small population. there is a very small level of diversity in DNA of all groups outside of Africa. There is less genetic diversity between an Englishman and and japanese than there is between an african from Nigeria and and african from Angola. It is like when Humans colonized the rest of the world outside of Sub Saharan africa, they were from a very small part of the African population. Since the level of diversity in DNA from Non african stocks is so minute, it is really hard to tell.
The next problem is that when Humans colonized the Americas during the last ice age, we don't know if there were there two migrations heading in from Europe and Asia both, or only one from Asia. Only from Asia has the advantage of a land bridge, but it was bitterly cold and very narrow.
From both directions requires sailing across the north atlantic for long distances, which while conceivable, is unlikely. The distances traveled by boat would be a lot shorter than now, of course. Even so that kind of sailing in the north atlantic durning an ice age seems impossible. Even though humans sailed over the south pacific for even longer distances to colonize new places the idea of sailing long distances in the North Atlantic is a different kettle of herring. Humans have done all kind of impossible stuff during their migrations, so sailing the North Atlantic in the summer from landfall to landfall is not impossible.
Early european settlers noted that the east coast indians did seem to have a german style grammar.
It may have happend that the ones coming in from the west may have arrived at the same time and that natural conditions favored the mixing of the populations to have yet another skin color and another morphological norm. And the ones from Asia may just have been culturally or in some other way a better fit for the new environment. The European ones may have been competed out. The fact that our ancient cousins lost the genetic supremacy battle is not a reason to crow.
thank you. nice post.
I'd like to spend a moment on the completely absurd....lets say for a moment that they find evidence of oh, a massacre, or series of such, evidence that appears to sppt. and equate to a systemic/genocidal beat down of the 'collectives' that was made up of these new found remains etc.?
And finds among the remains points to perpetrators who share the genetic disposition of 'red man' or that is what we have classified or now classify as 'natives', or 'Americans Indians...
hummmmm, what do you suppose the reaction would be?
you'll have to explain that..thx.
