#2 Tensas Parish Confidential

A Homo Neanderthalensis
Neglected his mending of fences.
An Indian giver
Snuck over the river.
They travel in pairs come the census.

With utmost respect and empathy for the removed, whose departure long preceded events summarized above.

#3 Aborigines claim to have been in Australia, isolated, for 60,000 years
Yet they also have neanderthal and denisovan DNA?

How?

Not in africa. Only African blacks lack neanderthal dna?

I guess this could also be used to explain some modern day lacking regions?

#9 Incidentally, in Biology, the ability to interbreed defines species.

#10 Remember if you euro-White you are a minority.
Euro-Whites only amount to less than 8.1% of the worlds racial population.

#11 Besoeker I am from Alabama, went to Hogh School in Dothan, and graduated from Auburn University School of Architecture and Fine Arts. You are so wrong. I would like an apology.

#12 Deacon, please excuse my attempt at humor. While jokes about Alabama are as common as grits in Georgia, you indeed are owed my apology. Please accept mine.

* Impressive accademic creds BTW.

#13 Auburn, home of the Mises Institute. Must be full of egg heads (a compliment).

Unfortunately, Georgia is stuck with slobs such as this one:

#14 Besoeker thanks. I guess I should have recognized the humor but I've had to put up with a lot of crap from New Yorkers when I was there working for an architectural firm and from Bostonians when I was working there. I'm sorry I sounded off.

#15  Aborigines claim to have been in Australia, isolated, for 60,000 years

Current thinking is there were multiple waves of migration out of Africa, our ancestral home. Some that headed towards Europe became the Neanderthals, some who went east to Asia became the Denisovians. Nothing too surprising about that, isolated populations tend to drift genetically.

Way back when, the sea level was a 100 meters lower. This meant our Indonesian archipelago was a landmass we now call Sundaland. The people living in east Asia, along with their Denisovan genes, could migrate down from Asia, across Sundaland to New Guinea and Australia.

Africans who never left Africa had little contact with the Neanderthals or Denisovans, which meant few opportunities for gene mixing (*he means boinking*)

An excellent book on this is Who We Are and How We Got Here: Ancient DNA and the New Science of the Human Past by David Reich. It tells the story of ancestral human migration thru full genome DNA sequencing. It gets a bit technical in spots, but has some great maps showing population movements over time.
Spoilers:
There is no such thing as "racial purity". The distinct races we today are *all* mixtures of two or more ancestral groups. And the same with those groups.
Populations were much more mobile than we imagine. The people who built Stonehenge were not the people living there 500 years later.
