This Im Not sure that means there's direct relationship here, it looks like not. Proto-homins and Proto-chimps actually inter-bred apparently. So basically chimps are considered the last "ape" break before the Homo genus. And I should point out that Michael Soule - the conservation biologist - stated that evolution for "large mammals" ended in the 1970s due to lack of habitat. Modern civilized humans are causing the fastest mass extinction of life on earth due to global warming. So soon the Earth will be warmer than it's ever been in the last 2 billion years. https://phys.org/news/2017-05-grassy-earliest-homo.html#jCp So homins led to Homo genus that is around 2.8 million years old. AKPOFGS Family, Genus, Species: Quote Hominini - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hominini The Hominini is a taxonomical tribe of the subfamily Homininae; it comprises three subtribes: Hominina, with its one genus Homo; Australopithecina, comprising ... http://www.nature.com/news/oldest-ancient-human-dna-details-dawn-of-neanderthals-1.19557 Quote And its age suggests that the early predecessors of humans diverged from those of Neanderthals between 550,000 and 765,000 years ago — too far back for the common ancestors of both to have been Homo heidelbergensis, as some had posited. Researchers should now be looking for a population that lived around 700,000 to 900,000 years ago, says Martinón-Torres. She thinks that Homo antecessor, known from 900,000-year-old remains from Spain, is the strongest candidate for the common ancestor, if such specimens can be found in Africa or the Middle East. So what is interesting is that the 2013 discovery was just the mitochondrial DNA and based on the morphology they thought it was neanderthal but the mitochondial DNA made them think is was Denosivan. So now the proved based on the male line bone DNA that it was neanderthal and so then they state: Quote an as yet unknown species from Africa migrated to Eurasia and bred with Neanderthals, replacing the mitochondrial DNA lineages. Crazy. Just shows that the "subspecies" of "inter-breeding" of Homo Sapien humans - is not that easy to tell the difference. For example - some scientists claim orangutans as the ancestors of homonins, not chimps. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2009/06/090623-humans-chimps-related.html Quote the DNA evidence cited by many scientists only looks at a small percentage of the human and chimp genomes. What's more, the genetic similarities likely include many ancient DNA traits that are shared across a much broader group of animals. By contrast, humans share at least 28 unique physical characteristics with orangutans but only 2 with chimps and 7 with gorillas, the authors say. The finding, which has the potential to spark a radical rethink of human origins, is being met with caution. Quote In addition, Schwartz notes, the most cited studies are largely based on the so-called coding region of the genome, which makes up just 2 to 3 percent of an animal's DNA.

Apech Posted June 29, 2017 4 minutes ago, MooNiNite said: The goal is never to completely define anything, that would be impossible in the realm of thought, language, and ideas. You're discriminating against an extent of discrimination and limiting yourself functionality. So once one adds historical locality to human characteristics they are overly flawed? But not when they just observe characteristics? "The people in Europe have brown hair." That observation is flawed and evil? What about the functionality behind such observations, what if you had a hair company and offered a product that dyed brown hair blonde? You define the limits of the application of terms.

So the racialist dog breeding lies will end here: https://whitelocust.wordpress.com/genetic-variation-between-dog-breeds-the-reality-of-human-differences/ Quote In a 2004 paper in Science, Parker et al. showed that very accurate classification is possible (410 of 414 dogs were correctly assigned to their breed). They also showed by Analysis of Molecular Variance (AMOVA, a technique often used for estimating genetic variability using microsattelites and repeats, although it can also be used for SNPs) that 27% of genetic variance is between breeds. Using SNP data, they calculated an Fst distance between the breeds of 0.33. A recent paper on a genome-wide SNP analysis on 919 dogs from 85 breeds, showed by AMOVA that 65.1% of genetic variance was within breeds, 31.1% between breeds, and 3.8% between breed groups (they defined 10 different groups: Spaniels, Retrievers, etc.). They also that as few as 20 diagnostic SNPs can be used to accurately classify dogs into their breeds. How does the genetic variation in dogs compare to that of humans? AMOVA analysis of humans shows that approximately 85% of variance is between individuals, 5% is between populations in the same racial group, and 10% is interracial (btw, this number is also close to the updated Fst measurement of Xing et al.). The average Fst distance between human races is approximately 0.15. So, we can see that dog breeds are actually much more variable than human races. The myth of limited genetic diversity prevalent in racialist circles (to which I also fell victim) needs to be dispelled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian Posted June 29, 2017 So let's do an experiment -- let's build long-distance running teams. I'll randomly select from a pool of healthy young men of Nilotic ancestry and you randomly select from a pool pool of healthy young men randomly chosen from around the planet. Shall we say 20 on each team and three months of training? Then the top fifteen runners from each team run a marathon, lowest combined time is the winning team. Or, let's have a pulling contest -- I'll take a pair of Belgian draft horses and you get two randomly selected members of the species Equus ferus caballus. Sound reasonable? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The body was generally heavy and solid with a strong musculature. The forehead was fairly straight rather than sloping like in Neanderthals, and with only slight browridges. The face was short and wide. The chin was prominent. The brain capacity was about 1,600 cc (98 cu in), larger than the average for modern humans.[7] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cro-Magnon A number of different species.

Quote So it has been established that Neanderthal, Denisovan and Homo Sapian are different species, there is also Cro Magnon Dude - you need to study what I posted. They are NOT different species - that are different "subspecies" - In other words - they are all Homo Sapiens. Humans are Homo Sapien Sapiens (subspecies). Quote They are considered either a distinct species, Homo neanderthalensis, or more rarely as a subspecies of Homo sapiens (H. s. neanderthalensis). http://www.nature.com/news/how-china-is-rewriting-the-book-on-human-origins-1.20231 Quote They show that, between roughly 900,000 and 125,000 years ago, east Asia was teeming with hominins endowed with features that would place them somewhere between H. erectus and H. sapiens, says Wu Quote hominins descended from H. erectus in Asia interbred with incoming groups from Africa and other parts of Eurasia, and their progeny gave rise to the ancestors of modern east Asians, says Wu. Support for this idea also comes from artefacts in China. In Europe and Africa, stone tools changed markedly over time, but hominins in China used the same type of simple stone instruments from about 1.7 million years ago to 10,000 years ago. Quote But the continuity-with-hybridization model is countered by overwhelming genetic data that point to Africa as the wellspring of modern humans. Studies of Chinese populations show that 97.4% of their genetic make-up is from ancestral modern humans from Africa, with the rest coming from extinct forms such as Neanderthals and Denisovans5. “If there had been significant contributions from Chinese H. erectus, they would show up in the genetic data,” says Li Hui, a population geneticist at Fudan University in Shanghai. Wu counters that the genetic contribution from archaic hominins in China could have been missed because no DNA has yet been recovered from them. Quote The researchers propose that the first hominins that left Africa 1.8 million years ago were the eventual source of modern humans. Their descendants mostly settled in the Middle East, where the climate was favourable, and then produced waves of transitional hominins that spread elsewhere. One Eurasian group went to Indonesia, another gave rise to Neanderthals and Denisovans, and a third ventured back into Africa and evolved into H. sapiens, which later spread throughout the world. In this model, modern humans evolved in Africa, but their immediate ancestor originated in the Middle East. Edited June 30, 2017 by voidisyinyang Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
