The South-American natives are Dark-Brown in colour. It gives them sufficient protection from UV. Secondly, they are decendents of the second migration into Americas ie; the Mongoloid Migration from the Cold Siberia 8000 years ago. They completely replaced the original Aborginee-Negroid population that entered America 25,000 years ago by boats.

Look into Dr. Spencer Wells research on National Geographic channel. A single common ancestor in South-Africa 60,000 years ago. Colour Black, Negroid. https://www3.nationalgeographic.com/genographic/about.html At that time sea levels were 120 metres lower. From the tip of South-Africa to Australia to tip of South-America was one Unbroken Coast-Line. Genetic testing also show that Human population dwindled down to a few hundreds 70,000 years ago due to a drought. We were on the brink of extinction.

B. Gibbons (Holladay, UT United States) - See all Many scientists have things to say, but few know how to say them. The Stephen Hawkings (A Brief History of Time) and Brian Fagans (Famines, Floods and Emperors) of the world are rare creatures, indeed. In The Seven Daughters of Eve Bryan Sykes proves he belongs in that small but fortunate club. This work is a remarkably well written narrative of Sykes' cutting edge research into the ancestry of modern humans using mitochondrial DNA. Unlike the DNA in the chromosomes of cell nuclei, which we inherit from both of our parents, mitochondrial DNA is inherited only from our mothers. It is also highly stable over time, which permits geneticists to determine with almost mathematical certainty the matrilineal genealogy of any human being on earth. To students of history, prehistory, archaeology and linguistics the conclusions he draws from his research are absolutely stunning. First, he concludes that all modern humans (beyond reasonable mathematical certainty) are descended from a single woman - Sykes calls her, perhaps tongue in cheek, Mitochondrial Eve. Second, every person on earth is, in turn, the descendant of one of only 33 women, who were the matrilineal descendants of Eve. The book focuses on seven of these women who are the matrilineal ancestors of virtually every native European. These seven he calls, again perhaps tongue in cheek, The Daughters of Eve. Third, the oldest of the daughters of Eve lived only about 45,000 years ago, the youngest within the past 10,000 years. Some additional thoughts: 1. As with all knowledge, take this with a little grain of salt. Today's axioms in science may be disproved or reevaluated in a month, a year or a century. This is cutting edge stuff, and there are likely many surprises to come. 2. Sykes is at his descriptive best when dealing with the fascinating details of his own research and field work. His writing style breaks down somewhat when he attempts to write imaginative Clan of the Cave Bear-like chapters on the lives of the seven daughters of Eve. I skipped heavily in this section. 3. I am a little surprised to sense a commercial-like ambience on Sykes' website, oxfordancestors.com. For a fee his organization will test your DNA and tell you which daughter of Eve you are descended from. This doesn't exactly lead me to doubt his research, but confirms my suspicions that Sykes has many more skills as a writer and pitchman than most of his colleagues. 4. Don't be misled by the title - this is not your standard Sunday School or Bible Class religious tract. Those who believe that every word of the Bible - through all of the twists and turns of 3,000 years of copying, editing, compiling and translation - is infallible, will perhaps find their faith challenged. On the other hand, those who are not Bible literalists may find some edification here, as well. 7 of 9 people found the following review helpful: Sykes Theories are Flawed, February 14, 2006 Reviewer: Tonya Payne 3d animator - See all my reviews The first few chapters of this book were interesting and I really thought it was going to be a good book. It turned out to be a rather dull book with theories that go against logic and scientific research. First of all, Sykes drags out his personal struggles with other researchers in the middle of the book, which is where it gets really boring. I don't care about academic squabbles, I want to hear the facts. I wanted to read about the seven women who all Europeans are decended from. When I finally got to those chapters I was disappointed. Seriously, it was Cave Man fiction. If you want early human fiction, read Jean Auel. Basically, he made up stories about what life might have been like for these women, and put in absolutely no evidence from archaeologists or anthropologists to support his theories. Second of all, Sykes claims to be able to trace all of the migrations of humanity through Mitochondrial DNA. This is utter nonsense. Mitochondrial DNA, as Sykes admits, only traces one single line out of thousands upon thousands of your ancestors. It only traces your mother's mother's line. While Mitochondrial DNA can trace this line's migrations, there are thousands of other lines out there, and we cannot assume that the other ones followed the same migration route as that maternal line. To assume such things is not scientific. For example after ten generations you have a possible 1024 ancestors, after twenty generations you have a possible 1,048,576 ancestors. Of course some of these lines join back

However volcanologist say it could it could be another hundred thousand years off before a major eruption occurs there again. Part of the problem with the ash is what happened in Pompe. You breath in the ash which is like breathing in powderedcement. Then you breath again and your lungs secret moisture and the ash liquefies and turns into cement and you suffocate, quickly.

Such an eruption will cover half the hemisphere with ash. As long as its the half with America in it, no big loss. :-) U R Wrong. We R smart: News Rack Destroyed in 'Bomb' Scare By Bob Pool, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer latimes.com April 29, 2006 A newspaper promotion for the upcoming movie Mission: Impossible III misfired Friday when a Los Angeles County sheriff's arson squad blew up a news rack, thinking it contained a bomb. Instead, the Los Angeles Times coin machine near the intersection of Sand Canyon and Soledad Canyon roads in Santa Clarita held a digital musical device designed to play the Mission: Impossible theme song when the rack's door was opened. The incident came amid several bomb reports made by newspaper buyers startled to see a red plastic box with wires protruding from it attached to the interiors of racks. In West Los Angeles, federal police at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center called in the sheriff's bomb squad after a newspaper buyer spied the 6-inch-long, 2 1/2 -inch-wide box and its wires. By then, deputies were aware that the box was a musical, not explosive, device. Times officials said the devices were placed in 4,500 randomly selected news boxes in Los Angeles and Ventura counties in a venture with Paramount Pictures designed to turn the everyday news rack experience into an extraordinary mission. In this day and age, anything a little odd-looking arouses suspicion, said Times Publisher Jeff Johnson. The devices weren't supposed to be seen by the public, said John O'Loughlin, The Times' senior vice president for planning. This was the least intended outcome. We weren't expecting anything like this. Newspaper executives said the singing news racks were the first of their kind. They are scheduled to be in operation through May 7. The Tom Cruise movie is to open May 5. The bomb squad excitement was unexpected, said Mark Kurtich, senior vice president of operations for The Times. I think Paramount is pretty happy about it. Retired Los Angeles County Sheriff's Sgt. Mike LaPerruque, now security manager for The Times, said law enforcement agencies around Los Angeles were advised Friday afternoon that the devices were a movie promotion and not dangerous. I got a call from one agency even as I was on the phone making the notifications, he said. With the wires leading to the micro-switch on the news rack doors, I can easily see how someone might have misconstrued it as an improvised explosive device, LaPerruque said. - --- Times staff writers Hector Becerra and Gregory W.

Apparently, there's a DNA company out there that's using DNA testing for the same reason...BUT for a different purpose: locate an African- American ancestor so that you can take advantage of affirmative- action! I heard of an upper middle class family that is using the father's very, very distant American Indian heritage so his son can have an advantage in college admissions in a few years, as well as maybe qualify for money. They could care less absout being Indian, they just want the benefits. This sounds strange since there are strict guidelines for how close a relationship you have to have to be considered Native American by the US government... I don't know the U.S. law but in Canada you can be, literally, 1/64th actual Indian blood and be officially considered an Indian and, yet, be 63/64ths Indian blood and be denied that classification. And if you get the classification there are very real and tangible benefits and advantages to it. Well, that's interesting. How does one show that one is 1/64th American indian, and get benefits, and 63/64th AMerican inidan and not? The law as it stands today says that one parent has to be classified Indian. And live on a reservation. Extrapolate the situation where one parent is Indian and the other is non-Indian and then take it down several generations where the offspring only marry non-Indians and you'll see that, mathematically, you can have a descendant in 6 generations who is 1/64th of actual Indian blood is still legally an Indian. Now, not to get too confusing, but the current law was changed about 1985. Prior to that, your FATHER had to Indian in order to get the Indian status. So, you could have someone in, say, 1870, and it was the MOTHER who was Indian and the father who was non-Indian and although this first generation individual was 50/50, they were classified as non-Indian. Then assume that each generation's child is a male who marries a full-blooded Indian female and you'll see that in 6 generations the descendant would be 63/64ths actual Indian blood but not have the right to be classified as Indian. Ah, OK. After a little thought I realized it had to be something stupid like that. Laws are seldom well thought-out, I've noticed. I just read the executive order that gives the Pres and VP the right to classify or declassify anything they want. It makes explicit that it doesn't change the procedures for classifying, but doesn't mention the procedures for declassifying. Was this a deliberate oversight to allow leaks by the White house without going through proper procedures, or was it just sloppy wording? I think certain laws are written in such a way as to allow executive orders so that the President can change regulations on existing laws...not to change the actual law but to, from an administrative standpoint, change how the law is implemented. And it's not just the president who can do it; perhaps Congress will word the law in such a way that the Attorney-General or the Secretary of Transportation can administer a law under their jurisdiction in a similar manner. Usually a law that is open to interpretation from the get-go is called vague and is often ruled unconstitutional merely because of vagueness. Don't know that executive orders can be challenged for that though. Not 100% sure if it's the

Order at: www.nationalgeographic.com/genographic It is great idea for your thriller. I think someone at National Geo. also thought about the misuse of this info - in the literature in the kit (and at the website under FAQ's) there are several brief discussions of how the info will be used and how private it is and what it cannot tell about you.

I've participated in the Genographic project - primarily to support the research. The info you receive is very general, but as they collect more samples from around the world, they'll continue to update you on your specific DNA marker type with more detailed info on the migration your ancestors took out of africa. You also get a very interesting DVD describing the science - not so much the genetics analysis part, but the human history part.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Genographic kit: trace your DNA history
So rather than responding to my perfectly valid point about how privileged white people routinely scam the system, you choose to twist my words into something that wasn't there, and to then try and overlook your own point, which was when anyone *other* than whites do it, it's cheating, but when the likes of George W do, it magically becomes something else. By making a typical racist remark and then accusing somebody *else* of racism when they respond, I suppose the idea is that your remarks are forgotten. OK, how you want to respond is your choice. But it's extremely dishonest. You seem to use this baiting technique quite a bit, Shemp. What you get out of it is a mystery.
