heres a video of the mysterious Andaman Senintelese, shooting arrows at st.upid europeans. they should be left alone. These disese carrying european christian filth poke their long noses everywhere. the Senintelese can be wiped out if they contact outsiders since they lack immunity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yehiEiuFu4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GGySHNoJDU&feature=related |

. they just prefer the flesh of the occasional foreigner/fisherman, who has had the misfortune to wash up on their shores. wat beautiful & unique race. Lool. . I watched the videos, they are actually jumping side to side. . So these are the people that jump side to side with spears in their hands and these western people think its us Africans. . |

PAGAN 9JA: I wonder if they would act hostile to an african with black skin?? would they embrace us more or what i might have to try going there one day and find out lolz |
Re: Photos Of The Wonderful People Of Melanesia by PAGAN9JA(m): 9:09pm On Jul 25, 2011 |
NO DONT GO. first of all, instead of embracing you, they might end up eating you or sacrificing you to their Gods. second and most importantly, as i said before, they lack immunity against many diseases and even a common cold from you might kill them. thirdly, they dont know anything about race, slavery, etc so dont even think of evoking sympathy from them. but they probably do recognise other tribes on their Island. and lastly, if you are missionary, then just forget it. u do harm to these peaceful & happy people. 1 Like |

It always annoys me when ppl say that. Like white ppl 'evolved' from black people or something. humans just adapt to their enviornment no race came from the other. and even if it were true. . . is that something to be proud of? 2 Likes |

PAGAN 9JA: i would never go there as a "missionary" i would go there with peace to experience a people and i think it depends on which tribes one encounters, not all of them are hostile https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ska8w1xcgHo&feature=related |

Scientist have found the genetic riddle of Melanesian Blondness, Here is what i found from another website, i rarely visit. Riddle of Solomon solved: Scientists find South Sea islanders' blond hair didn't come from Europeans, but evolved separately Many assumed blonde hair came from Europeans 'Homegrown' gene actually evolved separately 5-10% of population have distinctive blond gene Islanders believed blond hair came from the sun, or a diet rich in fish The inhabitants of the Solomon Islands - east of Papua New Guinea - are very dark-skinned - but have puzzled scientists for decades with their blond hair. Now a genetic study has found that the islanders have a 'homegrown' gene that gives them blond hair - and it's different from the one in Europeans. ‘Its frequency is between 5 and 10 percent across the Solomon Islands, which is about the same as where I'm from,’ said study author Eimear Kenny, PhD, who was born in Ireland. Globally, blond hair is rare, occurring with substantial frequency only in northern Europe and in Oceania, which includes the Solomon Islands and its neighbors. Many assumed the blond hair of Melanesia was the result of gene flow — a trait passed on by European explorers, traders and others who visited in the preceding centuries. The islanders themselves give several possible explanations for its presence - they generally chalked it up to sun exposure, or a diet rich in fish, say the researchers. ‘Within a week we had our initial result. It was such a striking signal pointing to a single gene — a result you could hang your hat on. That rarely happens in science,’ said Kenny. 'It was one of the best experiences of my career.’ In terms of genetic studies, the analysis was straightforward, said Kenny. But gathering the data, accomplished in 2009 by Myles and co-first author Nicholas Timpson, PhD, was more difficult. Much of the Solomon Islands is undeveloped, without roads, electricity or telephones. It's also one of the most linguistically diverse nations in the world, with dozens of languages spoken. ‘They have this very dark skin and bright blond hair. It was mind-blowing,’ said Myles. ‘As a geneticist on the beach watching the kids playing, you count up the frequency of kids with blond hair, and say, 'Wow, it's 5 to 10 percent.' Myles and Timpson went village to village explaining what they wanted to do and asking for permission to gather data, Myles speaking in Solomon Islands pidgin, the most widely understood language. When the local chief gave the OK, the researchers recruited participants and assessed hair and skin color using a light reflectance meter, took blood pressure readings and measured heights and weights. They asked the villagers to spit into small tubes to provide saliva to be used for DNA extraction. In the span of a month they collected more than 1,000 samples. Soon after, Kenny joined the lab and started the analysis, selecting 43 blond- and 42 dark-haired Solomon Islanders from the opposite 10 percent extremes of the hair pigmentation range. She used these in a genome-wide association study, a method to reveal differences in the frequency of genetic variants between two groups, that usually requires thousands of samples. Because the vast majority of human physical characteristics analyzed to date have many genetic and environmental factors, Kenny expected an inconclusive result that would require much further study. Instead, she immediately saw a single strong signal on chromosome 9, which accounted for 50 percent of the variance in the Solomon Islanders' hair color. The team went on to identify the gene responsible, TYRP1, which encodes tyrosinase-related protein 1, an enzyme previously recognized as influencing pigmentation in mice and humans. Further research revealed that the particular variant responsible for blond hair in the Solomon Islands is absent in the genomes of Europeans. ‘So the human characteristic of blond hair arose independently in equatorial Oceania. That's quite unexpected and fascinating,’ Kenny said http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2139462/Riddle-Solomon-solved-Scientists-South-Sea-islanders-blond-hair-didnt-come-Europeans-evolved-separately.html http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/05/120503142536.htm articles of findings above.

Their blond hair has nothing to do with Europeans. I am glad they cannot claim them now that the DNA proves this to be the case. |
