morpheus24: Cause the video does that and I also mentioned the dating in my previous comment.
The skull in your video is dated within the time frame of Asian migrations into the new world. It is +- 2000 years before Kennewick man.
The controversy of the cranio-facial metrics of Luzia is where you are hinging your "negroid" identity. This is the reason mentioned in my previous comment about the strict use of cranio classifications. Once upon a time an Aboriginal Australian was regarded as a "negroid" when in fact his genetics are not the same as a contemporary African who was also categorized as such.
Kennewick man's haplogroups will be matched with the genetic data of modern native American populations and if it clusters then he was most likely of the same descent as present day Asian populations that migrated into the new world. The study was done by a group geneticists at the University of Copenhagen and published in journal format. You can find additional info below
When did I used the word "negroid" in my post?, show me by using quote, I simply posted the title of the video as it is on Youtube The person who use the word negroid is on the video, he is one the world leading forensic expert.

That is an African feature on the video, not an Aboriginal Australian
morpheus24: Point 1: Horus that video is old , I would advise you to stop using it. Science has moved on from that point. Point 2: The skull in the video is dated btw 9-12,000 years ago, well within the time frame that native Americans entered North America. Point 3: The terminology mongoloid, caucasoid and negroid have been reserved for cranio metric anthropology and help to determine a skulls shape and "possible" region they emanate from.
Point 4: The oldest fossil found in the Americas "Kennewick man" is dated about 9000 years ago similar to the one in the video. He clusters genetically with native Americans and I would guess so would the skull in the video if the genetic test is taken. The extent of Genetic testing was not available at the time of that video.
Point 5 Phenotype is correlated to genotype but it does not imply that one causes the other. I hope you understand what that means?
Why are you not able to name the skull in the video?. This is the skull of "Luzia", a Woman. The archaeologist who found these remains was Annette Laming-Emperaire, and together with other colleagues, after dating, she found that this woman lived in south-central Brazil some 11,500 years ago. The "Kennewick man" is dated only 9000 years ago. Can you give me the exact name of the method used for the Genetic testing of The "Kennewick man"?. And also the exact year when this testing was done? Post it here on Nairaland, please!
Many people think that politics and religion have to be kept separate because many religions did not allow freedom of worship and did not care equally for all people. History has shown that religion has created conflict
The Sentinelese tribe resists all contact with outsiders and aggressively attacks anyone who dares to come near their island, because the Sentinelese know that they are not immune to modern diseases, so contact with outsiders could tragically wipe out the whole Sentinelese tribe
LockDown69: you can read but you don't understand. SMH!
It is you who do not understand, you are just claiming that they are cannibals instead of showing us proofs and evidences that they practice cannibalism. Your claiming is just mere claim
LockDown69: dude you cannot rule out cannibalism with these primitive beings, you can't relate my statement to been a stereotype, you should reconsider your response.
Show me proofs and evidences that they practice cannibalism and post it here on Nairaland
czarina: Their actions categorized them as savages. I never did based on how far they were from civilization. After all, "civilization" in its truest form is relative.
Which action categorized them for you as "savages"?
They seem perfectly fine and happy with their way of living. Who are we to call them "savage" and say that they should live like us? They are probably happier than most of us in the "modern" world. Leave them alone
The Sentinelese Do Not Want To Be The Victims Of Development
After the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004, there was a fear that the Sentinelese may have been wiped out, however they appear to have survived the event relatively unscathed. Thought the tsunami killed more than 230,000 people in surrounding countries, it appears that the Sentinelese were able to sense the coming of the tsunami and escape to higher ground before it arrived. When an Indian Navy helicopter arrived three days after to check on their well-being and drop food parcels on the beach, a Sentinelese warrior came out of the jungle and warned the helicopter off with a bow and arrow, a clear sign that the Sentinelese did not want help from outsiders
Gay Nigerian escapes persecution for better life in US
Every day people come to the United States seeking asylum from countries that refuse to protect them. Babatunde Scott-Ashley fled his home country of Nigeria when he was 27. He arrived in March 2017 seeking asylum after facing violence and persecution for being gay. Nigeria is notorious for its treatment of homosexuals. Police and gangs harass, beat and persecute people who are believed to be gay. After facing unimaginable hate and abuse, Babatunde believed he had no choice but to escape a country that refused to protect him. Babatunde’s case began after meeting Shanti Tharayil, a lawyer with the Community Development Project at the Urban Justice Center, who helped him submit his case for asylum. We followed him though that entire process.
At least in Nigeria, you can expect some sort of tribal discrimination amongst people, but in America, you can expect that, racial, class, gender, age and other discrimination are pronounced. You don't usually fear not getting considered for a job in Nigeria because you are black. Many people in America had to hurry and get rid of their accent because they were getting insulted by children and judged by adults. I know we complain about police in Nigeria stopping and asking for money, but here in the States, if you're black and have been stopped by cops, be careful of making sudden movements. Some people will be stopped for traffic violation but end up dead at the end of the confrontation. A lot of times, the officer isn't even held accountable for it. Read up on what has been happening here.
Tribalism and racism are just two sides of the same coin. Both racism and tribalism are toxic to the Nigerian society. They ensure that even if development and economic gains are made within Nigeria, the fruits of such gains will be a preserve of a few individuals, and in the long run, a critical mass of disgruntled individuals will be left to suffer, thus encouraging crime, violence and even war
