Neanderthal Superiority






If Neanderthals made us genetically superior due to their genes for disease resistant, then bringing immigrants from Africa into Europe who have no Neanderthal DNA is a crime against humanity as they are liable to experience greater illnesses than indigenous Europeans descended from the Neanderthals.




http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science-news/8714018/Scientists-reveal-health-benefits-of-breeding-with-Neanderthals.html



Interbreeding between the two species between 65,000 and 90,000 years ago speeded up modern man’s rapid rise to the head of the evolutionary tree, it is claimed.

It was established last year that a small part of the human genome can be traced back to Neanderthals.

But Prof Peter Parham, an expert in immunology at Stanford medical school in California, has now proved how this instilled a “hybrid vigour” in Homo sapiens that allowed them to go on to populate the world.

According to The Sunday Times, crossbreeding provided humans with a ready-mixed cocktail of disease-resistant genes when the species first ventured out of its native Africa.

This, in effect, speeded up man’s global dominance as they did not need to wait for evolution to do the job, it was claimed.

Matt Pope, a senior research fellow in the Department for Archaeologist at University College London, said the latest study presented exciting evidence of man’s relationship with his ancestors.

“If modern humans were getting close enough to share DNA, what else were they sharing?” he told the paper.

“Rather than having to evolve from scratch as they moved out of Africa into Europe and Asia, this interaction would have provided a fast-track to new environments.”

Haplogroup R and the Neanderthals

It is my theory that Haplogroup R is the genetic legacy of an infusion of Northern Neanderthal DNA via breeding.

The people we call Cro-Magnons are a hybrid of Homo Sapiens and Northern Neanderthals based on Haplogroup R 1 b.

The Cro-Magnons are the descendants of the R haplogroup that became the R 1 b Haplogroup.

The initial infusion of Neanderthal genes began at the point of the origin of Haplgroup R.

The ice age began 100,000 years ago but during the last Ice Age the mixed Neanderthal and Homo Sapiens population of Northern Europe were isolated and therefore the Northern European R 1 b haplogroups contain more Neanderthal DNA than the rest of the Haplogroup R.

The rest of Haplogroup spread out from the initial contact breeding point of the Homo Sapiens and Neanderthals and hence the neanderthal traits were diluted and disseminated into the wider homo sapiens gene pool.

Only in the North of Europe where the population remained isolated did the Haplogroup R 1 b evolve.

The Northern Neanderthals did not dissapear, they were absorbed into the incoming Homo Sapiens population that became haplogroup R and which then evolved to become haplogroup R 1 b.

It appears that the males of the Neanderthals passed on their DNA via Homo Sapiens females - as no M Haplogroups have so far revealed any Neanderthal DNA.

The change in the physical shape of the Cro-Magnon peoples was a result of this mixing of Homo Sapiens and Neanderthal DNA.

The Haplogroup R represents the moment the Cro-Magnons were created when they bred with Northern Neanderthals around 40-50,000 years ago.

There were three periods of interbreeding between modern humans and another human species.

One period of interbreeding occurred around 60,000 years ago in the eastern Mediterranean resulting in the Cro-Magnons who derived from a mixture of Homo Sapiens and Northern Neanderthals and created Haplogroup R. The Southern Neanderthals also bred with Homo Sapiens at this time in Asia and created the Oriental Haplogroups.

The other period of interbreeding occurred around 45,000 years ago in eastern Asia, where Homo Sapiens bred with Southern Neanderthals, the Denisovans, resulting in the injection of Denisovan DNA into the Homo Sapiens gene pool and creating the Melanesians.

The Third period of interbreeding happened during the last Ice Age when Haplogroup R 1 b arose in Northern Europe. This represents a massive infusion of Neanderthal DNA into the Cro-Magnon lineage.

The Cro-Magnon R 1 b haplogroup evolved into the various ethnic Nordic and Celtic sub sets of the R 1 b and associated haplogroup subtypes we see today.

The Keltoi ( Celtic Nordics ) and Skythai ( Slavs ) are the results of evolutions of the R 1 b haplogroup.

The Franco-Russian anthropologist Deniker divided the light-pigmented Northern Europeans into a race nordique and a race orientale.

Both Celtic Nordics and Slavs are descended from the Cro-Magnons.

The father of evolution Charles Darwin was a direct descendant of the Cro-Magnon people, whose entry into Europe 30,000 years ago heralded the demise of Neanderthals, scientists revealed in Australia Thursday.

Darwin, who hypothesised that all humans evolved from common ancestors in his seminal 1859 work "On the Origin of Species", came from Haplogroup R1b, one of the most common European male lineages, said genealogist Spencer Wells.

"Men belonging to Haplogroup R1b are direct descendants of the Cro-Magnon people who, beginning 30,000 years ago, dominated the human expansion into Europe and heralded the demise of the Neanderthal species," Wells said.

Director of the Genographic Project, an international study mapping the migratory history of the human species, Wells said they took a DNA sample from Darwin's great-great grandson Chris Darwin, 48, who lives on the outskirts of Sydney.

A trace of Darwin's "deep ancestry" showed his forefathers left Africa around 45,000 years ago, splitting into a new lineage 5,000 years later in Iran or southern Central Asia, Wells said.

"Before heading west towards Europe, the next mutation, which defined a new lineage, appeared in a man around 35,000 years ago,' he said.

"Approximately 70 percent of men in southern England belong to Haplogroup R1b, and in parts of Ireland and Spain that number exceeds 90 percent", he added.

Chris Darwin, whose great-grandfather was Darwin's astronomer son George, is a tour guide and adventurer in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney.

He migrated to Australia in 1986 and tests of his maternal DNA showed he was likely directly descended from the women who crossed the rugged Caucasus Mountains in southern Russia to reach the steppes of the Black Sea.

"The Genographic Project is incredibly important," Darwin said.

"The project is one way to show us the true story of humanity, of how we migrated across the world and that we are all related, tracing back to a small group of men and women who lived in Africa".

Wells was presenting the findings ahead of the project's annual scientific conference, bringing together representatives from 11 regional teams to discuss their work in Sydney.

There are currently 265,000 members of the public taking part in the project, which is an initiative of National Geographic, IBM and the California-based Waitt Family Foundation charity.

Participation kits can be bought online for 100 US dollars, and proceeds go towards the research and to indigenous language and cultural projects.

The Final Peice in the Race Jigsaw Puzzle

With the announcement of the discovery of the Denisovans the final piece in the jigsaw puzzle of the origins of race is in place.

Race is a product of mixture of Homo Sapiens DNA and archaic human DNA.

The Out of Africa Model and the Regional Development Theory are both correct, in that modern human racial groups are mixtures of both Homo Sapiens and archaic human DNA.

The mystery was the origins of the people of Melanesians.

Now the discovery of the Denisovan DNA strains in modern people from Papua New Guinea proves my theory of the origins of race is 100 % correct.

What we define as race is the percentage of archaic DNA in modern human populations.









There were THREE types of ancient humans: 30,000-year-old fossils prove Neanderthals and modern humans were not the only species on Earth

A mysterious new species of human being who lived alongside our ancestors 30,000 years ago has been discovered by scientists.
The cavemen, called Denisovans, was identified from DNA taken from a tooth and finger bone found in a cave in Siberia.
They walked the Earth during the last Ice Age when modern humans were developing sophisticated stone tools, jewellery and art.
The finding means there were at least three distinct members of the human family tree alive at the time - modern humans, Denisovans and Neanderthals.
DNA taken from this belonging to a young girl was found to be neither from early human nor Neanderthal, and was from a previously unknown species
The bone belonged to a young girl nicknamed the X-Woman.
Provisional tests published earlier this year suggested she belonged to an entirely new species. Now a fully DNA analysis has confirmed her place on the increasingly muddled human family tree.
The discovery follows the controversial discovery of another 'new' species of 3 ft tall human called the Hobbit on an Indonesian island in 2004.
However, many researchers have dismissed the Hobbit, claiming the bones came from a modern human with a growth disorder.
The little finger belonged to a girl aged around five to seven and was found in the Denisova cave in the Altai Mountains in southern Siberia in 2008 alongside ornaments and jewellery.
The Denisovans were physically different from the thickset Neanderthals and modern humans although they also walked upright two legs.
The tooth resembles much older human ancestors - such as Homo erectus - which died out one million years ago.
The Denisovans were similar in looks to homo erectus, pictured, a species which dies out more than one million years ago
The Denisovans lived at a time when our ancestors, and the Neanderthals, were fishing and hunting, wearing jewellery, painting caves and making animal carvings.
The DNA test show that the tooth and finger bone came from different people, the researchers report in the journal Nature.
It is only in the last decade that scientists have been able to retrieve DNA from fossils. Before that they could only identify bones from their shape and size.
The study found extracts of Denisovan DNA in modern day inhabitants of Melanesia - the islands to the north and east of Australia which include New Guinea. That suggests the Denisovans interbred with the ancestors of Melanesians and may have been widespread in Asia.
'This is an incredibly well-preserved sample, so it was a joy to work with data this nice.

'We don't know all the reasons why, but it is almost miraculous how well-preserved the DNA is,' said Dr Richard Green from the University of California, Santa Cruz.
The new species appears to have been a 'sister group' to the Neanderthals and its discovery paints a complicated picture of human evolution and migration out of Africa - the cradle of mankind.
Dr Green believes one group of early human ancestors left Africa between 300,000 and 400,000 years ago and quickly split up.
One branch evolved into the Neanderthals who spread into Europe, while the other moved east and became Denisovans.
Both the Neanderthals and the Denisovans started in Africa but, around the same time, the Neanderthals moved out to the west and into Europe, while the Denisovans headed East
Archaeologists excavate remains Denisova Cave in Siberia. Scientists have discovered a third type of ancient human in the caves
Around 70,000 years there was another wave of migration when modern humans quit Africa.
These were our ancestors and they first encountered and interbred with Neanderthals - leaving traces of Neanderthal DNA in the genetic code of all non-Africans alive today.
One group of modern humans later came into contact with Denisovans, leaving traces of Denisovan DNA in the humans who settled in Melanesia.
'This study fills in some of the details, but we would like to know much more about the Denisovans and their interactions with human populations,' Dr Green said.
'And you have to wonder if there were other populations that remain to be discovered. Is there a fourth player in this story?'

My New Race Theory - Origins

The evidence mounts that racial differences are the result of inheriting Neanderthal DNA.

Take white skin ;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_people#Origins_of_light_skin

Skin color is a quantitative trait that varies continuously on a gradient from dark to light, as it is a polygenic trait, under the influence of several genes. Many of these genes have yet to be identified. However, two genes that are known to contribute to skin color are MC1R and SLC24A5.[35] The mutation resulting in the light skin version of the SLC24A5 gene has been estimated to have originated in Europe between 6,000 and 12,000 years ago, indicating that at least one of the genes responsible for pale skin colour in Europeans arose relatively recently.[41]

Mixed ancestry people of African-European descent who possess one or two copies of the European allele of the SLC24A5 gene have skin color that is significantly lighter than mixed ancestry people who possess only the African allele. It is estimated, based on this observation, that the SLC24A5 locus "explains between 25–38% of the European-African difference in skin melanin index".[38][42][43][44]


Therefore it appears that only a quarter of the whiteness of white skin relates to the SLC24A5 genes that evolved in the last 12,000 years.

That means 75 % of the whiteness can from other genes, as yet not analysed.

I suggest that 75 % of the genes for whiteness came from Neanderthal DNA and that positive sexual selection and natural selection created the SLC24A5 genes which evolved later on in Cro-Magnons.

Whiteness began with the Neanderthals as trait which had evolved in the Neaderthal population over the hundreds of thousands of years they had been living in Northern Europe, and when they bred with early Homo Sapiens that the genes for whiteness were inherited by the Cro-Magnons.

This led to the Cro-Magnons evolving more 'white genes' alongside the ones they had inherited from their Neanderthal ancestors.

It all fits.

White people are archetypically distinguished by light skin. Scientists discovered a skin-whitening mutation that largely explains the first appearance of white skin in humans between 20,000–50,000 years ago.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/12/15/AR2005121501728.html

In this paper it states " The work also reveals for the first time that Asians owe their relatively light skin to different mutations. That means that light skin arose independently at least twice in human evolution, in each case affecting populations with the facial and other traits that today are commonly regarded as the hallmarks of Caucasian and Asian races. "

This therefore tallies with the fact that the Neanderthal DNA suggests that there were two breedings with Homo Sapiens.

The gene did not arise 'independently' it means that there were two infusions of genes from Neanderthals that led to the white gene being inherited.

The first was with Asian Neanderthals who bred with Homo Sapiens around 50,000 years ago.

The second, I believe , was when another group of Homo Sapiens left Africa and bred with the Northern Neanderthals to become Cro-Magnons and this led to the birth of the White Race.

Those genes have since evolved to become the racial genes that pass on the racial features we see today.

Note the date when the white gene is estimated to have evolved in whites ;

" Although precise dating is impossible, several scientists speculated on the basis of its spread and variation that the mutation arose between 20,000 and 50,000 years ago. That would be consistent with research showing that a wave of ancestral humans migrated northward and eastward out of Africa about 50,000 years ago. "

This period when the white gene 'evolved' was when the Cro-Magnons evolved - and it was the period when the Neaderthals bred with Homo Sapiens after they left Africa.

The white gene did not evolve, it was passed to the Homo Sapiens who became Cro-Magnons around 40,000 years ago by breeding with the Northern Neanderthals.

This then fits us into the time window re blonde hair and blue eyes - and links us back to the Neanderthals again.


This is my theory.


The first group of Homo Sapiens left Africa around 50,000 years ago.

One group of Homo Sapiens met the Asian Neanderthal group in the North African region and bred with them - this led to the race group of the modern East Asians.

This is also why the Neaderthals in Asia disappeared around 50,000 years ago as they merged with the Homo Sapiens. These Asian Neanderthals had evolved to become a racial sub set of the Neanderthals living in that region and this is why the Homo Sapiens / Neanderthals who are Modern East Asians have different racial features to modern Cro-Magnon Whites.

Then around 40,000 years ago another group of Homo Sapiens moved out of Africa and into Northern Europe and met the Northern Neanderthal groups living in that region.

This group of Neanderthals were genetically different to the Neanderthals of Asia as they had evolved to become adjusted to the Northern European climate ( Neanderthals also had 'racial group's just as whites are genetically different to asians , Neanderthals also had racial differences ) and the Homo Sapiens in Northern Europe then bred with that group of Northern Neanderthals.

The Northern Neanderthals then vanished as they merged with the Homo Sapiens and became Cro-Magnons who evolved around 35,000 years ago.

This then explains ;

1) where the Neanderthals went - they became us

2) why both East Asians and whites have Neanderthal DNA but have different racial features as they derive from different Neanderthal groups - the East Asians inherited their yellow skin and racial features from the Asian Neanderthals.

The Neanderthals had themselves evolved into different Neanderthal racial sets over their 600,000 year evolutionary period of existence.

For example the Oase fossils which include a 40,000-year-old skull found in a Romanian cave that defies traditional anatomical categorization. Though the skull has the proportions of a modern human cranium, it has a retreating forehead and large upper molars among other features typical of Neandertals (SN: 3/24/07, p. 186). A similar jaw had previously been found at the site.

http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/58936/title/Neandertal_genome_yields_evidence_of_interbreeding_with_humans

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pe%C5%9Ftera_cu_Oase

The Oase Fossils, which seem to be at least three separate Human / Neaderthal groups or three different Neanderthal groups with different features proves that there were racial sub sets amongst the Neanderthal groups and different Neanderthal / Homo Sapien matings in history.

This is why modern East Asians have different features to modern Cro-Magnons, as the Neanderthal groups they evolved from were racially different Neanderthal groups.

3) where white skin, blonde hair and blue eyes came from which was the Northern Neanderthal group. These racial features were only in the Northern Neanderthal population.

4) that the SLC24A5 white genes arose in the Cro-Magnon group around 12,000 years ago. This is why whites have lighter skin than East Asians and why the SLC24A5 genes are only present in whites derived from Cro-Magnons.


Thats it.

This explains exactly where race and racial differences in modern Homo Sapiens comes from.

The New Race Theory



Image - young male Neanderthal.




Everything you have been told about the issue of race is wrong.

And that includes from the Far Right, Liberals and the Far Left.

Yes Race exists.

But the origin of racial differences has never been revealed or stated as being linked to the percentage of Neanderthal DNA we each possess within us individual components of a homogenous racial unit.

DNA testing has now revealed that Modern Europeans share at least 4 % DNA with Neanderthals and that the Cro-Magnon's, from which all true Europeans descend, are an ad-mixture of Homo Sapien and Homo Neanderthalis DNA.

It is this fact, that Modern Europeans are part Neanderthal, which is the explanation of racial differences.

Modern Europeans have a minimum of 4 % DNA from Neanderthals = Whites who are the descendants of the Cro-Magnons.

The Cro-Magnons were the result of breeding between Homo Sapiens and Homo Neanderthalis in Europe.

East Asians have 2 % DNA from Neanderthals = the Oriental racial groups.

It appears that DNA in people moving from Europe, whose migrations are evidenced from the Tocharian people who were present in China around 4000 years ago, that had moved East along the Silk Road in pre-history is responsible for the dissemination of Neanderthal DNA in populations of the Far East.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tocharians

Black Africans have no DNA from Neanderthals = African blacks.

It appears that Australian aborigines do not have any Neanderthal DNA either, so they are also archaic Homo Sapiens from Africa.

It is this issue, the fact that Modern Europeans and East Asians are part Neanderthal that is the basis of racial differences.

We should now concentrate on propaganda that puts this point forward - that we humans are not a single species of Homo Sapiens and that we are not all one race, but that we Europeans carry within us the legacy of a lost race and that even in our minor DNA differences between us as a race we all share this legacy of being descended from a separate species of Hominid.

The white skin of the Modern European people is inherited from our Neanderthal ancestors and is also shown by the pale skin tone of the East Asians as compared to modern Africans.

The more Neanderthal DNA a racial group possesses, the lighter their skin tone.

White skin is a product of the Neanderthals evolving in Europe and the Cro-Magnons inherited the white skin genes from their Neanderthal ancestors.

Race is in fact evidence of hybridisation between human species.

It is this reality that will be the basis of future racial theory.

The DNA difference between human beings and chimps is around 4 %.

The percentage difference in DNA between Modern Europeans and Modern Africans is around 4 % as well in relation to the percentage of Neanderthal DNA.

Therefore racial differences are as distinct between Modern Europeans and Modern Africans as between human beings and chimpanzees.

It may be that 'racism' is itself a sub-conscious recognition of the differences between racial groups based on them being different in relation to Neanderthal DNA.

That means racism cannot be eradicated unless we eradicate all racial groups at the same time.

The only 'pure race' are Modern Africans as they are pure Homo Sapiens.

Therefore the idea that Modern Europeans are racially pure is false, we are not racially pure as we are part Homo Sapiens and Neanderthals.

Our genius as a race comes from our Neanderthal heritage.

Personally I am proud of my Neanderthal heritage.

The mixture of the Neanderthals and early Homo Sapiens created the Cro-Magnon people, whose arrival in the historical record is marked by an explosion in Europe of creativity linked to art, culture and technology.

http://hubpages.com/hub/prehistoric-humans-neanderthals

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cro-Magnon

The Neanderthals were the first human species to achieve forms of culture.

No theory of race has ever been devised to include this DNA reality.

All the old theories of race from the right to the left are wrong.

Daily Mail = propaganda on race




Image - Neanderthal Child.





I made a mistake a few days ago.

I read a Daily Mail article and did not bother, due to being busy, reading the original report.

I have now.

In the article I wrote on the new DNA evidence that showed human and neanderthals bred I used the Daily Mail article as the basis of my thesis here ;

http://leejohnbarnes.blogspot.com/2010/04/cro-magnons-and-neanderthals.html


But the Daily Mail put in a single, but very important, lie in their report.

Here is the lie ;

" The two events happened after our ancestors migrated out of Africa to colonise the rest of the world. The researchers found evidence of interbreeding between Neanderthals and modern Africans - supporting the theory."

Here is what the report actually says ;

http://www.nature.com/news/2010/100420/full/news.2010.194.html

" Using projected rates of genetic mutation and data from the fossil record, the researchers suggest that the interbreeding happened about 60,000 years ago in the eastern Mediterranean and, more recently, about 45,000 years ago in eastern Asia. Those two events happened after the first H. sapiens had migrated out of Africa, says Long. His group didn't find evidence of interbreeding in the genomes of the modern African people included in the study. "


So the Daily Mail printed lies, a lie in direct contradiction to what the DNA evidence says - which is that whilst Modern Europeans share archaic Neanderthal DNA along with Eastern Asian people, Modern African populations DO NOT share any DNA with Neanderthals.

Therefore we now see that Modern Africans are an archaic Homo Sapiens species, whilst Modern Europeans who descended from Cro-Magnons are a fusion of Homo Sapiens and Neanderthals and are a separate human species.

Modern Africans, Modern East Asians and Modern Europeans are in fact three human species.

What we call RACE is in fact the beginning of a SPECIATION.

The racial differences between White Europeans, East Asians and Africans relates exactly to the presence of Neanderthal DNA in the phenotypes of those racial groups.

Cro-Magnons, the descendants of the first interbreeding around 60,000 years ago are Modern White Europeans.

East Asians are the descendants of the second interbreeding around 45,000 years ago.

Modern Africans are the descendants of the original Homo Sapiens population.

Therefore to be exact Modern White Europeans should be defined as Cro-Magnons - Homo Sapiens / Neanderthal Hybrids, not as Homo Sapiens.

The Modern Europeans are a 'Mixed Race Group' whose DNA is a mixture of archaic Homo Sapiens and Neanderthals, whilst Modern Africans are a 'pure group' of archaic Homo Sapiens.

We are in fact three distinct human species.

In fact it appears that the Cro-Magnons are themselves the direct branch of the first interbreeding which occurred around 60,000 years ago which is when the Cro-Magnons appeared in Europe.

The fact is that the DNA evidence shows that the reason why the Cro-Magnons managed to colonise Northern Europe, which was a bastion of the Neanderthals, is because they were part Neanderthal and hence acclimatised to the climate of Northern Europe, just as the Neanderthals were.


It appears that the Multi-Regional Theory is correct.

There is not one human species - there are three.

Racial differences relate to different breedings with Neanderthals.

The entire liberal myth on us all being the same is a lie.

The entire history of humanity has to be re-written.

Everything you have been told is a lie.

No wonder the Daily Mail lied.
