Nah. Aside from a shared history of Spanish colonization, we’re not really that close to Mexicans.
Look at it this way. We love fried chicken, we’re always late, we love our momma’s, our arcades always have to have Marvel 2 cabs, and other stuff like that. It’s as FChamp pointed out to us once, why do you think Filipinos and African Americans get along so well?
I was under the impression that that species of whatever died out before modern man except for in a North African/ Spanish Area If it was in Asia then I guess. But in most cases withholding biblical or Muslim or Jewish Scholars Africans (everybody) Dont know if they were default black or not maybe they were Albino And maybe the black people were the tribes who remained in Africa proper and other races evolved from the default Albinos into other races with different colors and facial/ racial traits? I mean at this point its hard to say. As there is no one who is alive who knows for sure. Furthermore the last caveman specimen I think died out in the mentioned area above. It doesn’t mean that they werent in asia but it is interesting that the strain did not survive. I guess couldn’t cross speciate(sp?) with modern man.
The frustrating thing with anthropology is there are no concrete records its all conjecture and spoken word. Which at this point seems really hard to substantiate.
Its kinda the reason the field was invented its not that Africans have no history past colonial/ imperialism era but that they didnt bother to keep written records outside of Eastern or Northern Africa with the Muslims. We will never have a concrete record. Which is frustrating, imagine all of the unspoken history that can’t be historically backed up at all. I wish that it could have been but it isnt sadly.
Interestingly, the key to domestication whether human or animal is eating a lot carbs/grains. That’s actually a key difference between dogs and wolves.
How could that guy actually even suspect that Chinese people had a different origin than the rest of the people in the world? That would mean that they evolved independently to be almost exactly like everybody else,and were similar enough to procreate with all other races. That doesn’t happen.
China being decendents of some random race in Africa isn’t too crazy of a theory, when you realize how genetically diverse africa is. There is dozens of unanswered qusetions on why African are so mixed in genetic.
There’s been several migrations of hominids over the course of 3 million years, however, modern human (aka us) migration only occurred in the last 125,000 years in waves. So it wasn’t as if just one group of humans made it out, but many groups over the course of 100,000 years. However, 60,000 years ago, there was a calamity that virtually wiped nearly all humans off the map, bottlenecking our species to just a few thousand individuals. Because of this incident, every human being on the planet owes their lineage to one man, a genetic “Adam”.
This doesn’t necessarily mean that there weren’t other men around, just that the man we all descended from happened to have children that were lucky (or skilled) enough to survive.
Now here’s the part that confounds me. Modern man (homo sapiens-sapiens) has been around for nearly 200,000 years, and yet only we’re lead to believe that only in the last 5,000 years we have been capable of developing agriculture and cities. Keep in mind we’re not talking about a different subspecies of human, but our modern relatives lived 200,000 years ago and supposedly spent 195,000 years just being hunter-gatherers? I find that hard to believe. I think human history has been cycle of advancement and disaster, but due to time and erosion many of the advanced societies that developed have had their history lost.
I was just about to post something similar to this. Based on genetic testing all out-of-Africa humans originate from the San people who happen to look like this:
Notice the rounded features and epicanthic folds over the eyelids. These features were already present before Asians or “Mongoloids” appeared.
No. East Asians are as genetically distant from “blacks” as Europeans. The purest homo sapien stock on Earth are strictly the San people and small, related tribes. By the time people settled the Yellow River and began rice cultivating, they were no longer the people who left Africa, having long been transformed by admixture from other hominids, long winters, war, and other evolutionary pressure. Sorry dude Wesley Snipes didn’t invent kung fu lol.
