Neos R Us.

I am hoping DNA from similar extinct animals will show, or prove speciation.

Most likely those gained by HSN peculiar to life outside of Africa; for instance, lighter skin to produce more vitamin D; thicker bodies to retain more body heat in the frozen north. Larger skulls? Now that’s going to be a touchy subject. One day we’re all Africans who share 99.99% of our genes, the next day we find out that a fair chunk of our genes aren’t from Africa at all, perhaps the decisive ones.

After all, when we talk about non-African humans, we are talking about the most successful lineages of recent times (Asians, Europeans, Native Ameircans).

A good 5/6th or more of the human race (the successful part) came from a group that was at one time far less than 1% of the total species, and the 1% that mixed with HSN.

Not a coincidence.

Anyway, I digress, the resulting hybrid offspring would inherit Neo DNA and hence some advance in extra fertility and brain development, the racist point pending is that it would explain European and Asian technological advances in these areas of the world while also being a reason why Sub Saharan Africans failed to develop in the same way and continue to be a bit disorganised when ruling themselves even today.

If this was the outcome of this study and conclusive proof could be established it would have to be suppressed or re written or denied.

So of course it can’t be true can it?? Before anybody has a go: I’m Black by the way! So Homo Sapien without the NEO injection!

KR241 205 V/M 21 Keratin-associated protein, formation of a rigid and resistant hair shaft

I serached this on the genecards.org for more explanation:

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: KR241_HUMAN, Q3LI83
Function: In the hair cortex, hair keratin intermediate filaments are embedded in an interfilamentous matrix, consisting of hair keratin-associated proteins (KRTAP), which are essential for the formation of a rigid and resistant hair shaft through their extensive disulfide bond cross-linking with abundant cysteine residues of hair keratins. The
matrix proteins include the high-sulfur and high-glycine-tyrosine keratins

makes them look very apelike. I resent this slur on our ancestors.

@ Razib: Most of the Amerindian tribes in eastern North America descend in large part from white and black immigrants, a consequence of intermarriage and migration on the frontier. Ironically, the Mohawks of the Kanesetake reserve outside Montreal are trying to enforce a law banning people of insufficient blood quantum for living on the reverse, even though as early as 1900 the fundamentally mixed nature of the population was known.

@ Mary: Agreed. It pleases me, too, that they left some sort of progeny, that there were descendants.

Hey, don’t bash liberals on this news. It has nothing to do with left or right. It has to do with verifiable information (so we expect) and people can like it or not. But there it is. Personally, I love it and I’m an old leftie.

I’m not exaggerating. I saw something like this on TV not long ago. The clear implication (to me, anyway, your mileage may differ) was that Africans are cool. They hammered that African origin to death.

Sure. But it’s still an illuminating analogy overall, that detail aside.

Also, there wouldn’t be any Amer-indians left, had Euro-Americans remained hostile, racialist, highly-fecund/expansionist, and fundamentally Malthusian — in a sense, “normal” — for thousands of years. So, the fundamental pattern has been disrupted to some extent by very novel, late-breaking cultural developments which have superimposed themselves. The analogy is still meaningful at the fundamental level.
