Banderas:
See - I don't know much about many of the terms you're using. And comparing Ethiopea to the US isn't right - Ethiopeans have had centuries of interaction with other races, not just the "white" european race. I stand by this - if there had been no jim crow in the US, then the african american would have intermarried more, and almost disappeared.
The part in bold is incorrect. Ethiopians have not had numerous interactions with other peoples nor mixed with different races. Ethiopians share very close genetic ties with ancient egyptians and somalians(within Africa) and with Middle easterners particularly Yemenis because of proximity to borders. Yemenis are not representative of all Arab types.

A back migration of peoples carrying eurasian genes did flow back into the Horn of Africa and ethiopia a very long time ago ranging from about 10, 000 to 12,000 yrs ago. Don't mistake this for recent admixture accounts which account for only 2% of ethiopian DNA.

The point I am trying to make is Yemenis who are closet outside relatives to horn Africans carry a subset of ethiopian gene dating further back than 10,000 years ago. staying islolated they mutated to adapt to various derivative within the Arabian peninsula and these mutations were then carried back into the horn of African.

This does not denote an admixture for ethiopians because an early group of them were the ancestors of todays Yemenis who are subsequently the progenitors of early east Africans. therefore traits you see in yemenis may originate from East Africa and not the other way round.

When I use the term Mdtna i am talking about mitrochondrial dna analysis which is the female gene that is passed on from one mother to the other, an unborken chain of Dna that never changes.
This is what is used to track what maternal lineage some one comes from. The opposite would be Ytdna which is Y chromosone male derived Dna which is also an unbroken chain of male dna inheritance from man to man.

Ethiopian Dna reveals a male tracker Ytdna called E3b which places their paternal lineage sqaurely in Africa. e3b has a rare sampling outside of Africa and exclusive to African groups. E3b closet relative is an e3a mutation. this particular sample is found exclusive in West, central and southern africans. This means E3b and e3b paternal lineages are from the same ancestor E. East africans and West africans are closer cousins than say an Arab or a European PATERNALY

Phenotype(outward apperance) does not constitute closet ancestory or lineage.
Banderas:
See this DNA is not a definite statement. Before civilisation, natural selection was quite harsh and complete. If a tribe, say the Ijesha people, migrated to sweden, within a short time - 2 or three generations, most of the african features would have been wiped out, with the features essential for survival in that area (nasal passage, skin colour) becoming very quickly dominant. This would be faster if you factored in a measure of inter-tribal marriages with the viking people native to that part of the world. If this tribe lived in the area for another 2-300 years, scientists who arrived there would see that tribe, compare their slim physiques (diet) and straight noses (weather) to the neighbouring tribes and conclude that they shared the same ancestors/origins. DNA of course is another matter.

I can say one thing for sure - apart from the bushman /hottentots of southern africa, most of the bantu (or african ) tribes migrated into where they now reside within the last 2000-3000 years. Intermarriage with the bushmen could quickly alter your DNA findings.

I am curious however about two peoples - the Aborigenes of Australia - I know they were separated from the most of humanity for several centuries. Also the far eastern people.
If you put a european group somewhere in Africa today. In 30,000 years they would completey change their outward appearance through natural selection and varous adaptive mutations.
The features you see in Ethiopians. Elongated body types, long head, narrow noses and varying t hair textures did not necessarityl originate outside of Africa. It is the other way round. THe arabs,yemenis have more of a clinal gradation(different varying grades of ethiopian variations) because the ethiopians existed and mutated beforethe Yemenis.

i knowthis i hard to follow but let me direct you to  a site where this point is argued. make sure you take time to read the rebuttals by an individual named IGBO.

@ Horus

While the attached video is very informative ( I already seen it). It puts a dubious conspiracy theory twist on facts.

yes it is true the perception and study of Ancient egypt has been skewed because the ones studying them have not been Africans therefore the observations and conclusions infered on the data available have been also skewed.

It should be noted that the Africans aka black people that lived in Egypt at that time were not the West African Tropical adapted type with vs the East African adaptation types therefore to a certain extent West or Southern Africans had little to do with the civilizations of North east Africa.

Though as a collective word "African' we can share in this remarkable history more so than the far off Nordic European. This is the point that should be made instead of trying to emphasis some kind of conspiracy theory by eurocentric anthropologists and Historians.

USA is a peculiar case, racist jim crow laws forbade inter-racial relationships. This is not a good example.
@ banderas

The level of admixture in the US population is almost equivalent to ad mitxture numbers in Ethiopia Mtdna. However it is more on the paternal side for AA's than maternal up until recent.

PS I have done further studies on DNA aging and discovered the statement made earlier by you on the Mtdna of non AFricans beind older than Africans is[b] incorrect.[/b]

The L haplogroup Mtdna carried by most Africans is the ancestor of haplogroup M and N and their derivaties  leaning to the fact that all other mutations and their subsequent derivatives originate from this single gene

You many research this if you please.
Christianity EtcRe: Christian God On The Last Day: telling muslims to burn in hell... by morpheus24: 8:56pm On Oct 23, 2009
shakerz:
the crux of the matter is that Jews and Muslim see God in a more honorable way, and the christians whether you like it or not, degrade God. Can you imagine God on the last day telling all the Muslims to go to hell because they saw him as self-sufficient or they refused to believe in him dying because they said God is the one who never dies and it befits his majesty or that they disbeleived the original sin because they saw God as being forgiven and not allowing people to suffer at the hands of what two people ate. I doubt a God could be just and say, listen muslims, you should have believed that i died at the hands of a few roman soldiers because i sent myself to be killed and rise to myself so i can forgive you guys or that why did you pray five times a day and say God is great or that he has no partners in his dominion and raise me to such a status when you could have believed that I, God, the greatest to have existed, was born and entered the world through the birth canal of a 12 year old virign?

Be honest and judge which verse you implitcitly believe in, if no one came and told you what to believe about God.

Bible: "By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work."

Quran: "We created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them in six days, and no weariness even touched Us."


If your still not convinced here is another comparison

Bible:"Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouts by reason of wine. [Psalm. 4:23]"

Quran: "Allah! There is no God but He,-the Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him nor sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He permitteth? He knoweth what (appeareth to His creatures as) before or after or behind them. Nor shall they compass aught of His knowledge except as He willeth. His Throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth, and He feeleth no fatigue in guarding and eserving them for He is the Most High, the Supreme (in glory). "

Enough said, take me to hell ohh Christian God for hornoring you above and praising you above

TravelRe: Somali Girls Are The Most Beautiful In Africa! by morpheus24: 7:59pm On Oct 23, 2009
ababda:
to let you know "amaka", most somalis are not mixed with arabs. why do i say this? well, you have many people across that region that is not somalis that look quite similar. for example many ethiopians, northern sudanese, eritean, and upper egyptians like myself have the so called somalis look. we are part of the cushite race, which is one of the many blanches of the so called african races. however, i did meet many black people that are mixed with so called arabs, they hardly look like a horner.
THe bolded part is absolutely true but you have some people who are so caught up with phenotypical adaptations they attribute anything in East Afirca that doesn't look West African to some admixture from outside of Africa when this is not the case. Horn Africans are related to Eurasians more so than West Africans because the subset of  ancient Genes that produced or mutated to create Eurasians come from Ancient east African groups and not the other way round. This is why Horn Africans are more similar to each other than to Arabs not because all these groups are mixed with Arabs.

Horn Africans are related to other Africans because a subset of theri genes come from the same set that created all other sets of africans. can't you see the differencies inf African populations as well. You people should get shit straight. DAMN!!

Please see below phenotypes of an Eriterian, Ethiopian and a somali, a upper sudanese and and upper egyptian ancient type

THEY ARE NOT NECESSARILY MIXED WITH ARABS!!!!

texazzpete:
If you see nothing to be troubled about in the Chinese expansion into Africa, there's nothing that i can say to help you. Already we see overt Chinese support for nations like Sudan and the atrocities in Darfur. We see Chinese support for the illegal Government in Guinea. We see China buying up hundreds of thousands of acres of arable farmland in Africa for their own uses. We see the Chinese bid for a huge portion of Nigeria's oil reserves.

The Chinese investment in Africa is welcome, it doesn't mean we should go to sleep with our eyes closed.
Don't forget cheap cheap and more cheap labor with no pressure from government or labor unions for equitabble wages or standard working conditioins.

The chinese are building their empire, our leaders are busy selling our countries to them for pocket change.

I have never liked china and never will.

lagos is not a very interestig city to visit unless you are a lagosian who is coming back for the holidays and are used to the hustle and bussle of the city. You'll probably wnat to spend most of your time on the island and there some reserves you can visit as well in Lekki.

If you can make it to obudu ranch in calabar you will definitely see the beauty of the country.


You can see pics on Skyscrapercity.com. Choose a nigerian city and view. Make sure you check out pics of Obudu in calaber. Its more touristee than lagos city.

Very funny logic here. You ask questions about christians being sun God Worshippers when the Quranic story of Abraham building a place of worship with his son Ismael is fabricated. The Kabbah stone is most likely a mediorite that the idolaters in Arabia were amazed at and thought it best to worship their idols there.

Muslims faced Jerusalem at one point. When the Jews rejected their teachings as plagarism all of a sudden the position switched to Mecca by Allah via Muhammed's decree. How convenient. Don't you think?
