@rahowaii Hoabinhians were descended from toolmakers from Southern China who in migrating south interbred with preexisting negritoes and others: these populations long precede their haplogroups

My posts about the Andamanese 🌴 (Sentinelese etc) received traction. Hoabinhians were the ancestors of the tiny Andamanese “negritos” These basal east asians were replaced by ASEA (modern seasian) ppls during the Neolithic Andamanese were spared this Heres this infographic

@BmHairston @Hitchslap1 This is also explained by their lower self-evaluation for understanding of a concept, as opposed to the intellectual’s instinct to be meticulous. A six year old who just got to hear of trigonometry will think he has understanding because he understands right and non-right angles.

I've worked with mentally disabled people in in-home care. One thing that's wild is how many people will pretend to understand something. Even someone with a 70 IQ will act like they understand what you're saying out of pride. This creates the illusion that more people are capable than really are.

Most IQ deniers have never meaningfully interacted with an 85 IQ person. It’s nearly impossible to do so and still believe IQ is fake. Think about it.

@xavierjamesg @carldmorris2 @Hitchslap1 Not quite. You just don’t want these people on the frontlines as they’ll be completely overcome by panic proving dangerous to the rest of their company.

@carldmorris2 @Hitchslap1 One in seven people in the US are sub-85. One in Devan are considered too dumb to dig a ditch without supervision. That’s frightening.

@morris_que14 I have never heard the claim that the Japanese have the most steppe blood: maybe you are confusing that with paleolithic European populations begetting ancestry in North Eurasians from a way earlier point. Also, the answer would be the Mongolic/Turkic peoples not northern Han.

What's even more ridiculous is these BAPtard kangers think the Japanese have the most steppe blood (and thus superior to the Han and like the Mongols) which is clearly not the case because Japan is a friggin island. There are no native horse species on Japan and horses were actually introduced to Japan through continental East Asia during the Kofun period by Korean migrants. If anything, the one East Asian group that has the most steppe blood (but still minuscule at like 5%) are northern Han Chinese but that defeats the purpose because that would mean they would be forced to admit the Han are actually the superior group according to their own criteria that steppe nomads are inherently superior to farmers. The Japanese are actually the one East Asian group with the LEAST amount of steppe blood. Which is obvious considering that they are an island.

@UnstableSudaca Han Chinese are more related to Europeans than to Australians. Regardless, this shows the flaws of assigning populations to neat splits rather than acknowledging later sources of admixture changing haplogroups and what not.

Today I will remind them

@HighlyCitedX The vault is more similar to Asian erectus implying it belonged to a primitive stage before Heidelbergensis

@1mill2frie1er Why? I think there is a wide range of dates on Ceprano.

Proto-Neanderthal Skulls of Europe (sometimes called H. heidelbergensis)

@Phillip05166897 I would prefer to deconstruct Habilis as a category as we know it, not only as a dudtbin for various homo populations (that therefore should have interbred) but Australopithecus in some cases as well, which will only confuse science.

@1mill2frie1er To elaborate, the issue with Habilis is general is that in traits like EDJ, face shape, body size, and body shape it is an attentuated Australopithecine without exaggeration. It typically lacks Erectus features of body shapes, dental traits, cranial superstructures, etc.

See here.it seems whatever D45000 is, it's closer to KNM-ER 1805. researchgate.net/publication/25…

@Phillip05166897 I’d rather say the numerous middle Paleolithic specimens identified as Denisovans with the mosaic of traits between them suggesting interbreeding to various extents with Pekingensis, only since this is a more popular discussion, whereas the comment intended to give an African ex.

@Phillip05166897 I assume you’re asking for DNA, which would make identification impossible. If you’re asking for widely acclaimed hybrid specimens in history of literature my first example would be Solo man (with Chinese erectus). I think the most poignant example however is Bodo man.

@Phillip05166897 Diversity in a region=hybridisation inevitable. Your implication of hybridisation pre-late-pleistocene as an insignificant phenomenon is biased and unsubstantiated: previous research supports interbreeding between Homo erectus related types i.e. earlier foundation events possible

I would argue the opposite, because the hypothesis of a natural transitionary form due to automorphisms is easier to substantiate that hybrids. In the Hominin fossil record undisputed "Hybrids" are rare and concentrated to the late Pleistocene.

@CapriCaput @rahowaii This is actually evident in many throughout the continent, as not all South Americans are flat-faced as is presumed. The ones who do however, on the contrary, will have less.

@rahowaii Does Olmec head guy not know that northern amerinds have lower ANE than southerners

Amazon Amerindian 🇧🇷 hunter-gatherer from a completely uncontacted unknown tribe First time ever seen by the outside world. You can find tons of North Amerindians from the USA 🇺🇸 looking like him More ANE 🌄 ancestry than anyone in Eurasia today FYI, including siberians

@Sulkalmakh I don’t know why the prognathic profile is so often exaggerated beyond where it should be. The cheekbones should also be receding as it is on the left side of his face.

Facial reconstruction of a 53,000-year-old man from France This skeleton is one of the best preserved Neanderthal found in Europe at the time. The skull, nearly all vertebrae, 20 ribs, and most arm and leg bones survived, including parts of the hands and feet. The body position suggested an intentional burial in a cave depression, accompanied by Mousterian tools, shells, and animal remains of woolly rhinoceros, horse, reindeer, and bison, dating it to the Middle Mousterian period. The individual, described by Boule and estimated at 55–60 years old. Parts of the upper jaw, palate, zygomatic arch, nasal bones, and teeth were missing, with extensive deformation caused by tooth loss before death. The skull was long and low: maximum length 208 mm, breadth 156 mm, cranial index 75.0 (subdolichocephalic). The cranial vault was flattened, with a broad forehead, massive brow ridges, a strongly projecting glabella, and a pronounced occipital torus. Cranial bones were extremely robust. The face was broad (153mm) and triangular, with a very low forehead and strongly projecting midface. The nose was large and protruding, with a broad pear-shaped nasal aperture measuring 35 mm. The orbits were rectangular with rounded corners; orbital width was 47 mm and height 38 mm. The cheekbones projected laterally, increasing facial breadth. The forward-projecting nasal region and maxillae created the characteristic Neanderthal midfacial projection seen in skulls from La Ferrassie, Le Moustier, Gibraltar, and Krapina. The facial skeleton appeared exceptionally massive and heavy compared to the low cranial vault. The mastoid processes were very small relative to the overall skull, while the occipital and neck muscle attachments were extremely powerful. The position of the foramen magnum and cervical vertebrae indicated a forward-thrust, inclined head posture resting on a short, receding neck. Strong cervical and thoracic spinous processes gave the individual a stooped, hunched upper-body appearance. (Gerasimov, 1955) The old man of La Chapelle had lost many of his teeth, with evidence of healing. All of the mandibular molars were absent and consequently, some researchers suggested that the Old Man would have needed someone to process his food for him. This was widely cited as an example of Neanderthal altruism, similar to Shanidar 1. Reconstruction made in collaboration with @InterspeciesFa1

@Phillip05166897 I would stop attributing to neat lineages what is rightly attributed to interbreeding (which likewise ultimately explains the Habilis cluster as it were a dustbin of archaic human populations and even Australopithecus)

czasopisma.uni.lodz.pl/ar/article/dow… The Daka also supports Rudolfensis clustering closer to conventional Homo. This imo is important as it makes me doubt that Erectus evolved outside of Africa as suggested in the past.

@shi_huang5 I believe the diversity in Denisovans actually represents various different extents of interbreeding with Erectus, that Hualongdong the most neanderthal-like is by implication a model for Denisovans, whereas other forms like Jinniushan are almost transitional in some way

@HighlyCitedX Dmanisi 5 is not representative of Homo Georgicus phenotype

Buia probably has a face like Dmanisi, given the size of the cheekbone.

@CompellingDNA When Homo Georgicus was found they presumed them to be recent migrants from Africa, but first older chinese evidence of humans 2.1, and decisively the genetic discovery of a >2mya split from African+Asian Erectus (if both ancestral to modern humans) proves something more ancient.

Yes. Flores Hobbit was probably not a Hobbit at all. It is same size as Australopithecus. If there was a 2.3mya OoA then Asian Erectus and Ergaster are not the same species. Stringer just said Asian Erectus 1.5mya is the first definite Human which throws Turkana off the bus.

Stone tools date early humans in Northwest Africa to 2.4 million years ago, which means they could have migrated Out of Africa even earlier. theconversation.com/stone-tools-da…

@AnthropoTube @Phillip05166897 @CompellingDNA The ancestral form of Homo Heidelbergensis, something like Ceprano man, had a rounded rather than flat cranium, so I believe the latter in Heidelbergensis was a derived rather than primitive trait

@Phillip05166897 @CompellingDNA I think that Homo heidelbergensis was a neotenized derivation of Homo ergaster, hence the resemblance between the adult specimen Atapuerca 5 and the juvenile specimen Turkana Boy.

Large Tighenif mandible is very much like Mauer/Heidelbergensis and is dated to around 700ka, while the smaller Tighnenif mandibles are likely juveniles/females. Much too recent to be Homo ergaster.

@Sulkalmakh The skull is a cast. Regardless, the forehead of the reconstructed face is higher than the skull itself.

Facial reconstruction of a 11,250-year-old man from Nigeria The Iwo Eleru rock shelter in Nigeria, excavated in 1965, yielded over 500,000 Late Stone Age artifacts and radiocarbon dates ranging from ~15,000 to 9250 BC. A poorly preserved, tightly contracted human skeleton was found in undisturbed layers. The skull is long and low, with moderate brow ridges, a sloping forehead, and relatively flat nasal features. Despite some post-mortem distortion and reconstruction, its overall shape appears reliable. The face is mostly missing (missing hard tissue fragments were added for the reconstruction, some aspects of which are hypothetical), but the mandible is robust, though lacking a pronounced chin. The postcranial skeleton is highly fragmented, making precise measurements difficult. However, the long bones suggest a moderately robust individual of medium build, with an estimated height not exceeding ~165 cm. It has been argued that the Iwo Eleru fossil represents either an archaic hybrid or a relict archaic Homo population. In 2014, Christopher Stojanowski of Arizona State University outlined three main explanations for its unusual cranial shape: It was a hybrid with archaic African populations; it belonged to a relict archaic group later replaced by modern humans at the start of the Holocene; or it came from a population that diverged from other North African groups during a period of extreme Saharan aridity.

@shinobu_books @spellgage This phrase is so gay and retarded
