Dark skin, blue eyes: Genes paint a picture of 7,000-year-old European 2D11430827-140126-coslog-skull4.blocks_desktop_large


A 7,000-year-old man whose bones were left behind in a Spanish cave had the dark skin of an African, but the blue eyes of a Scandinavian. He was a hunter-gatherer who ate a low-starch diet and couldn't digest milk well — which meshes with the lifestyle that predated the rise of agriculture. But his immune system was already starting to adapt to a new lifestyle.
Researchers found all this out not from medical records, or from a study of the man's actual skin or eyes, but from an analysis of the DNA extracted from his tooth.
The study, published online Sunday by the journal Nature, lays out what's said to be the first recovered genome of a European hunter-gatherer from a transitional time known as the Mesolithic Period, which lasted from 10,000 to 5,000 years ago. It's a time when the hunter-gatherer lifestyle was starting to give way to a more settled existence, with farms, livestock and urban settlements.
The remains of the Mesolithic male, dubbed La Braña 1, were found in 2006 in the La Braña-Arintero cave complex in northwest Spain. In the Nature paper, the researchers describe how they isolated the ancient DNA, sequenced the genome and looked at key regions linked to physical traits — including lactose intolerance, starch digestion and immune response.
The biggest surprise was that the genes linked to skin pigmentation reflected African rather than modern European variations. That indicates that the man had dark skin, "although we cannot know the exact shade," Carles Lalueza-Fox, a member of the research team from the Spanish National Research Council, said in a news release. At the same time, the man possessed the genetic variations that produce blue eyes in current Europeans.
That combination makes for a rare genetic profile, but perhaps it was more typical of the Mesolithic Period. To find out, the researchers say they'll need to analyze more genomes from that time — starting with La Braña 2, another male whose skeleton was found in the Spanish cave.

A few years back Scientists said that we all came from Scandinavia, another group claimed that our origins stem from Eskimos. As I said... so far.

No the vast majority of experts conclude we come from Africa.
In the big scheme of things what does it matter?

Why are you so scared your ancestors had once darker skin because of the climate they lived in?
What is the big deal?

Dear me, you seem to be by the above, because you are thus calling your own ancestors that.

What are you so afraid here over something so trivial, the colour of skin?

and theres didge saying that race isnt genetic.....

and here a group of scientists saying they can profile this guys racial characteristics from his genes.

perhaps during that argument when digi poo reconed he was "schooling me" he would have actually done better to properly read what I was saying...

I agreed with those scientists who said that genetics is a poor indicator of race per se, since we are all actually "shades of the same", there is no "clear cut distiction" no "cut off point" whereby you suddenly become one race or another...

however

racial characteristics ARE determined by your genetic code...

what ELSE determines what colour your eyes are....what else determines the colour of your skin... what else defined the facial characteristics?......and passes those characteristics down generations


the fairy bloody godmother??????????????????

that was my point...but oh no dodgy didge reconed he/she knew better......


never got a direct answer to that question tho.....

Please show peer reviewed paper that supports what you claim about scientists.

You are full of shit No accredited Anthropologist has ever said made either of those claims.

Dear me you are not very bright by where they can genetically show where he lived on the earth.

Do you understand that points, not any race, oh my, you do realise it is based upon where people lived do you not Victor

All it said was rare genetic profile, you do understand what profile means do you Victor?

This Map explains what we know, based on mapping genes and archaeological discoveries.
This is not contested; this is based on the culmination of thousands of peoples work.

Not One Random Lunatic in the National Enquirer saying people came from Sweden that is not science. Even if Warren thinks that it is.

Hilarious, and you do realise how little these variances are in humans do you victor?

Again this goes to the point of the thread of gentic profile.

Please read:


The visual differences we are attuned to don't tell us anything about what's beneath the skin. This is because human variation is highly non-concordant. Most traits are influenced by different genes, so they're inherited independently, not grouped into the few packages we call races. In other words, the presence of one trait doesn't guarantee the presence of another. Can you tell a person's eye color from their height? What about their blood type from the size of their head? What about subtler things like a person's ability to play sports or their mathematical skills? It doesn't make sense to talk about group racial characteristics, whether external or internal.

Genetic differences do exist between people, but it is more accurate to speak of ancestry, rather than race, as the root of inherited diseases or conditions. Not everyone who looks alike or lives in the same region shares a common ancestry, so using "race" as a shorthand for ancestry can be misleading. Sickle cell, for example, often thought of as a "racial" disease afflicting Africans, is actually a gene that confers resistance to malaria, so it occurs in areas such as central and western Africa, the Mediterranean, and Arabia, but not in southern Africa. In medicine, a simplistic view can lead to misdiagnoses, with fatal consequences. Racial "profiling" isn't appropriate on the New Jersey Turnpike or in the doctor's office. As evolutionary biologist Joseph Graves reminds us, medicine should treat individuals, not groups.

On the other hand, the social reality of race can have biological effects. Native Americans have the highest rates of diabetes and African American men die of heart disease five times more often than white men. But is this a product of biology or social conditions? How do you measure this relationship or even determine who is Native American or African American on a genetic level? Access to medical care, health insurance, and safe living conditions can certainly affect medical outcomes. So can the stress of racism. But the reasons aren't innate or genetic.

Believing in race as biology allows us to overlook the social factors that contribute to inequality. Understanding that race is socially constructed is the first step in addressing those factors and giving everyone a fair chance in life.

As I've said before if you go by we are all Africans , then the Black argument of the Whiteman plundering Africa is a NO, they were just popping back HOME to pickup a few things, that were rightfully theirs.

No it was the Europeans, we can define people from nationalities and areas can we not?
We are biologically all one race, but nations or tribes do have conflict with each other or some who wish to take over a nation
So they were not popping back home, as the people living at the time were not then living in Africa, but Europe, their ancestors may have done thousands of years back, that does not mean they can then come and take another land

Once again you come out with some classics that are just so illogical.

My ideal world is there would not be and people could live together in peace, yes that is my ideal world, does not happen that way though, but people born onto a land become part of that land, as has gone on for thousands of years and people migrate and become part of other nations do they not. So to me it is wrong for people to take things by force no matter if I believe in a world without hate


Something for you to ponder in the famous words of Lennon:



Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one.

ancestry........ race.....this is merely playing the "new speak propaganda game" the word "race" has become a "dirty word" so we will call the same thing by a different name...pish

On the other hand, the social reality of race can have biological effects. Native Americans have the highest rates of diabetes and African American men die of heart disease five times more often than white men. But is this a product of biology or social conditions?

however the same can have other non social effects....some african groups have resistance to sleeping sickness...the same genetic trait causes sickle cell anaemia

Believing in race as biology allows us to overlook the social factors that contribute to inequality. Understanding that race is socially constructed is the first step in addressing those factors and giving everyone a fair chance in life.

and ignoring it causes a whole host of other problems....

I already said genes but these genes make no bearing on races, did you not read already, dear me, thus  human variation is highly non-concordant.  That means your view on race placing a person is based more on where they did live and who they descend from individually as is the case here not any race, what is different here is the first example of early humans maybe even the case of where what we class white today were still dark skinned showing it was the environment which helped change the skin colour in the European climate.

Seriously, do you not see that?

Thus your first post was way off the mark


Until tomorrow, nght

What about subtler things like a person's ability to play sports or their mathematical skills? It doesn't make sense to talk about group racial characteristics, whether external or internal.

agreed

Genetic differences do exist between people, but it is more accurate to speak of ancestry, rather than race, as the root of inherited diseases or conditions. Not everyone who looks alike or lives in the same region shares a common ancestry, so using "race" as a shorthand for ancestry can be misleading. Sickle cell, for example, often thought of as a "racial" disease afflicting Africans, is actually a gene that confers resistance to malaria, so it occurs in areas such as central and western Africa, the Mediterranean, and Arabia, but not in southern Africa. In medicine, a simplistic view can lead to misdiagnoses, with fatal consequences. Racial "profiling" isn't appropriate on the New Jersey Turnpike or in the doctor's office. As evolutionary biologist Joseph Graves reminds us, medicine should treat individuals, not groups.

ancestry........ race.....this is merely playing the "new speak propaganda game"   the word "race" has become a "dirty word" so we will call the same thing by a different name...pish

On the other hand, the social reality of race can have biological effects. Native Americans have the highest rates of diabetes and African American men die of heart disease five times more often than white men. But is this a product of biology or social conditions? How do you measure this relationship or even determine who is Native American or African American on a genetic level? Access to medical care, health insurance, and safe living conditions can certainly affect medical outcomes. So can the stress of racism. But the reasons aren't innate or genetic.

however the same can have other non social effects....some african groups have resistance to sleeping sickness...the same genetic trait causes sickle cell anaemia

Believing in race as biology allows us to overlook the social factors that contribute to inequality. Understanding that race is socially constructed is the first step in addressing those factors and giving everyone a fair chance in life.

and ignoring it causes a whole host of other problems....

Something for you to sleep on , in any Civil war it's the Traitors , collaborators and the fifth columnists that hang first. Along with the enemy of course.

Sweet Dreams IMPORT.
