Similarities between Alaska and Nigeria

https://www./297026537914945167/



Nature reports, “We studied 96 Yorubans (from Nigeria), believed to share common ancestry with northern Europeans about 100,000
years ago.” Those possessing some combination of full facial features and wooly or wiry hair are here identified as African and those the
Edo king of Nigeria [1], Nigerian hunter [2], and the Nunivak Alaskan hunter are all African. From North Europe and Eurasia arose the populations that passed from Siberia to Alaska (see map). The Nunivak “African” may be of the peoples sharing the above ancient ancestry with Nigerians.
While the genetic link has been shown as written of below, the cultural anthroplogical evidence may give an echo of a substantive relationship in
the similarities of the headdress between the Nigerians and Nunivak. [A] All wear the head band. [B] The representive bird is worn by both the
Nigerian hunter [2[ and Nunivak [3]; whereas [C] feathers and [D] mask protrustions are worn by both the Edo king [1] and Nunivak [3]. While it cannot be claimed that there is a relationship, it cannot be said that there is none. The subject warrants further study.

David Reich et. al., Linkage disequilibrium in the human genome, Nature 411, 199 – 204, issue of 10 May 2001; Whitehead Institute / MIT Center for Genome
Research, Nine Cambridge Center, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02142, USA

We studied 96 Yorubans (from Nigeria), believed to share common ancestry with northern Europeans about 100,000 years ago. At short distances, the Nigerian and European-derived populations typically show the same allelic combinations (Fig. 4): D' has the same sign and a similar magnitude, indicating a common LD-generating event tracing far back in human history. However, the half-length of LD seems to extend less than 5 kb (Fig. 4) in the Yorubans. Markedly shorter range LD in sub-Saharan Africa has also been observed in several studies of single regions19, 20 (although two other studies did not show a clear trend21, 22).
Our results indicate that the pattern of shorter LD in sub-Saharan African populations may be general.

Notably, LD in the Nigerians is largely a subset of what is seen in the northern Europeans. The Yoruban haplotypes are generally contained within the longer Utah haplotypes, and there is little Yoruban-specific LD (85% of observations of substantial LD (|D'| > 0.5) in Yorubans are also substantial and of the same sign in Utah). The vast difference in the extent of LD between populations points to differences owing to population history, probably a bottleneck or founder effect that occurred among the ancestors of north Europeans after the divergence from the ancestors of the Nigerians. The short extent of LD in Nigerians is more consistent with the predictions of a computer simulation study assuming a simple model of population expansion...art, art history, Paul Marc Washington, paleoneolithic@yahoo.com

Car-recharging subsidy in place of petrol subsidy.

That will not buy gas gussling benz AMG or 2017 range rover sport or latest big daddy.

Because the cost of the car has been subsidized, by means of a Policy. How about the cost of the re-charging infrastructure? It requires a policy for a subsidy. Can a President who was a businessman advocate that?

Can people drive the car to their village?

Look man, I'm telling what had truly happened. Why didn't they left via Morocco when it's easier is another question. Do you think that they had the knowledge that crossing via northern Africans is easier than Horn of Africa? Humans originated in Ethiopia and some of them left for the other continents via Horn of Africa.

For over 50,000 years, Black People had sailed as far as the Americas, and became the Aboriginal Native Americans. Christopher Columbus Discovery is a lie to claim that Black People could only trek on land and could not sail across the Atlantic Ocean. This white supremacist lie is entrenched as academic canon. The Pyramids of Mexico were built by the same people who built the Pyramids of Egypt; You and I.

Question - from where do you think Europeans migrated to eastern, northern and Southern Europe?

I ask because you are indirectly saying that white ppl became white in none Europe places.

Yes, their last point of presence was in Central Asia. They are not far from it when they called themselves Cauc-Asians.


I've read your comments on the early days of this topic and most of them doesn't make sense. You even went to recent phenomena of French Revolution that the ruling class were black.

Please do not rush to understand. Our childhood learning has to be gradually unlearned. The entire Europe was ruled by Black Europeans, until 1700s when they intermaried with Whites beoming mulattos, and their descendants now have only black hair and black eyes; still no hereditary blue-eyed blondes!

I agree that white ppl were mostly savages for the most part of human civilization and they stole the works of many Africans and others civilizations. They were nobody not long ago and now they are spreading their propaganda agenda that blacks are inferior. The truth needs to be told and I thank you at certain extent for trying to expose their looting and savage history.

You are welcome the re-discovery of the Knowledge of Ourselves.

The 1st Humans left Africa via Horn of Africa. The current European became white in northern and eastern Europe/Asia.
Some of the Asian ancestors became white in northern, eastern and central Asia(northern China).

The environment is Southern Europe will not make you white like European and some Asian whiteness.

There was continuous cycle in out and return migration to Africa. Some whites may came to Northern Africa and cross the Mediterranean to Southern Europe.

Why was it easier for Africans to leave through the Horn of Africa, than to cross the current maximum of 10 km into Europe?

The environment of Northern Europe did not make Polar Bears to lose their skin colour beneath their white fur. Ultraviolet radiation index is high in winter in Northern Europe, so melanin is still required for human survival even in the cold weather.

White People mass migrated first into Eastern , then Northern Europe, displacing many indigenous Black Europeans. Southern Europeans were the last to be displaced by White People, and it still shows in their features.

Op, it's a fact that all people were black at first and originated in the Horn of Africa, so don't say that whites came from black as if it's a new discovery.
..............

Ethiopians, Eritreans, Somalians and Djiboutians are predominantly Cushite ppl and their features are similar with Europeans. I don't think it's realistic for whites to originate from those early Afro-Asiatic speaking ppl and became white in just 5,000 years.

Even if the Ancient whites weren't white like the current whites, they were present in Europe for many tens of thousands of years.

Whichever part of Africa resulted in White People, their depigmentation did not take place in Europe or Africa. The oldest skeletons in Europe have cranial features of Black People.

The horn of Africa could have been the take of point for some of the pedestrian part of the Out of Africa Migration. But Southern Europe is just 10km from Northern Africa at Morroco. Why has this being ignored ?

Culture / Re: Black African Nobility Of Ancient Europe by jantavanta(m): 2:15am On Jul 01, 2017
Europe was originally a continent of Black People.

No skin de-pigmentation from Black to White, took place in Europe.

No Creator created people without colour and deliberately placed them in Europe to experience less sunlight, and develop more science and technology.

Had Microsoft been allowed to kill others while elevating it's own internet explore -- remember how slow and horrible it was ? -- there wouldn't be Firefox, Opera, or even chrome.
The US regulations forced Microsoft to allow other browsers to be installed on their windows OS they dominated the market.
Anti trust is meant to protect You and me against so called restricted platform. Now imagine Chromo don't allow you get YouTube videos while Firefox do. Alternative is important.

We do not yet understand the need for anti-trust legislations on "Knowledge Economy" companies, because we did not understand them when they were being applied to Standard Oil Company(which produced the Seven Sisters) and Bell Labs (which produced the Ma Bell telecom companies).

That is why we would readily welcome the founders of monopoly internet companies as heroes in Africa, if they come visiting. I remember that Netscape browser lost out to Internet Explorer.

King Leopold of Belgium, Founder of the Royal Order of Chopping Hands

Hands were chopped off for Rubber, now it is for Coltan (Columbite-Tantalite), a mineral resource used in laptops and cell phones.



In the 23 years (1885-1908) Leopold II ruled the Congo he massacred 10 million Africans by cutting off their hands and genitals, flogging them to death, starving them into forced labour, holding children ransom and burning villages. The ironic part of this story is that Leopold II committed these atrocities by not even setting foot in the Congo.

Omanis were involved in the importation of slaves ftom Zanzibar, an island close to Tanzania in which males were castrated and many Africans died in the process.
One of the most famous was Tippu Tip, a dark skinned Arab (Arabs were originally Black).

Now, Africans go there by themselves. The currency of Oman is high from the blood of African slaves.

[img]https://petchary.files./2012/07/zan01s.jpg[/img]

The slave market in Zanzibar was closed in 1873, when Sultan Bargash signed an edict making slavery illegal. Some fifty years earlier, the Omani Arabs (who had controlled Zanzibar since 1698) signed a similar document, but the practice continued, with slaves being transported by Arab traders from Zanzibar to mainland Africa, where they were used to transport ivory.

Transylvania's Vlad The Impaler(template for Count Dracula the vampire) hated the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

Mother Russia suffocated her Union of Soviet Socialist Republic(USSR) "satellite countries" of Eastern Europe.

Therefore Eastern Europeans could not participate in Transatlantic Slav Trade, sorry, Slav e Trade. wink

1) The split of the Roman Empire in 285 CE in to the Eastern (headquartered in Constantinopole) and Western(headquartered in Rome) Roman Empires.
2) The East West Schism of 1054 was the break communion between between what is now the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches
3) Easterns did not go about colonizing everybody else's natural resources.

All the above makes Western Europe different from Eastern Europe.

The first thing these graduates do when they enter a workplace is to start creating makeshift structures. They get fed up, they want to go abroad, to earn forex where "things work" and they are told "Keep your religion to yourself". Why could they not do it in Nigeria, to make Nigeria better for themselves?

It won't be a problem if Nigeria is manufacturing cars and the guy is brought to coordinate the designing aspect. This body was just created to do nothing. What Nigeria needs is a national body that looks into safety of cars, set acceptable standards, etc as is done in other countries, or regions.
