I would have thought it was obvious Semites ...Joe. I would have thought it was obvious Semites are a mixture of Caucasian and African genes. I was expressing surprise at your thinking it was worth specifically mentioning it. <BR/><BR/>Are you saying that proto-Indo-Europeans, proto-Hurrians, etc. were not simply the product of earlier admixture? I thought it was generally accepted that the Hurrians, for example, had at least a ruling class that had some connection to Indo-Europeans. And where did proto-Indo-Europeans come from in the first place? Were they proto-Indo-Europeans when they first left Africa? And had they remained a genetic isolate all that time? <BR/><BR/>I would bet that human groups have been moving around the world, mixing and breeding since the days of Homo erectus. It's just that tribalism is a basic part of our mentality and has had a major effect during our evolution.terrythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17327062321100035888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-47161719284698333412008-04-24T19:13:00.000+03:002008-04-24T19:13:00.000+03:00The current genetic map of Proto-Semites or Semite...The current genetic map of Proto-Semites or Semites seems to show they have both Caucasoid and Sub-Saharan Input.<BR/><BR/>AT best they can be one small branch living in the desert in one corner.<BR/><BR/>All the genetic papers writing Middle east as the source for Population spread is what I don't understand.<BR/><BR/>NO genetic diversity on either side and how we keep reading the same text?.South Central Haplohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00916788636469000041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-40141718095314219892008-04-24T08:10:00.000+03:002008-04-24T08:10:00.000+03:00terryt do you understand English or not?I wrote th...terryt do you understand English or not?<BR/>I wrote that proto-Semites were mixed Caucasoids with Negroids and perhaps with some archaic moderns.<BR/>What does your argument about races has to do here?<BR/>And by the way NO, not all races are mixed.<BR/>Races exist and only in their outskirts exist some admixture in general.<BR/>Otherwise humankind would have been like Brazil!<BR/>Also the biggest majority of the various peoples that made their premiere in History were pure racially in contrast with the Semites.<BR/>Alarodians, proto-Indoeuropeans, proto-Hurrians, and numerous others.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11280336761556517347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-38981056690449450052008-04-24T05:21:00.000+03:002008-04-24T05:21:00.000+03:00Semitic people, like everybody else, are a genetic...Semitic people, like everybody else, are a genetic mix of people. Can anyone provide us with any example of a 'pure' race?

Mt Haplogroup of Europe is different and more research need to be done especially for mt haplo determine the geneologies.<BR/><BR/>2. Reference to Middle east in all the genetic research papers is Bogus.<BR/><BR/>What is the definition of Middle East?.<BR/><BR/>Sparsely populated and with very less haplogroup areas of Arab countries?.<BR/><BR/>The have less Y haplo R1a and R1b then all the regions. Now they have no older mt haplogroups.<BR/><BR/>Population migration kind of sidestepped the socalled Middle East. This is great conspiracy of Bible theorists.South Central Haplohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00916788636469000041noreply@blogger.com
