Yes I know that a great many intelligent, educated,
serious people have posted here over the years,
and I am not one of them. No. Not me. I post here
because there's only so much porn one can look
at in a single day, and I can't get a good discussion
going anywhere on history, exobiology or the socio
economic changes to the Roman empire necessary
to have resulted in the Industrial Revolution
happening by the 5th century.
And porn, like I said, but let's not dwell on that...
Even so, I am a little disturbed by some of the things
I am hearing on this WHAT Talks.
Well. Not the science. Not the conclusions. But on
the source and nature to the hostility that they face.
Personally I don't understand why they can't see it, this
problem with paleo anthropology... I mean, it seems
consistent to me. Regardless of topic -- Aquatic Ape,
dating, naming, etc -- it's all quite consistently (even
dogmatically) pro "Out of Africa" and very anti anything
else. Aquatic Ape threatens Out of Africa purity, simple
as that.
It's not the only thing.
"Mitochondrial Eve," for example: Originally it was
under 200,000 years old, going by the molecular
dating. And the molecular dating was (and remains)
a farce. It heavily exaggerates age and it does so
for the simple fact that mtDNA is subject to selection.
Our mtDNA is under selective pressure. It's not neutral.
The same forces that acted on a whales limbs, turning
them into flippers, or a giraffes neck, making it longer,
are also acting on our mtDNA.
Our mtDNA is important. It serves useful functions,
and when new or better function crops up it is under
pressure to change.
We're talking about the level of a population here, not
the individual. Individuals are almost irrelevant to
evolution. It's the change in DNA TO A POPULATION
that we refer to as "Evolution."
...they all seemed to carry THAT line but now they
all seem to carry THIS line... "Evolution."
And as proof positive that mtDNA does not change
by at magic clock like regularity, but instead changes
quite rapidly when under great pressure, and not at all
when under no pressure, we look to the LM3 insert.
Remember that? The LM3 insert? This much-older-than
"Mitochondrial Eve" mtDNA line that jumped over to
Chromosome 11 (if memory serves) and is preserved
there? What we don't see in that, despite being
significantly older than any Mitochondrial Eve, is all
this clock-like mutating... all these different haplogroups.
Nope.
So we know absolutely everything that they've been
screeching on the topic of "Eve" has been false.
Everything.
And yet they keep making it older!
From under 200k years to now, what is it? Over 300k
years old? This very first "Modern" human? Our "Out
of Africa" ancestor?
There's archaics in west Africa 13,000 years ago,
and they're trying to tell us fully modern humans
were running around 300,000 years before that?
I guess that's why they changed it. The fossil. They
turned the archaic into a fully modern human. After
all, if went against the grain, contradicted the narrative.
I HAVE BEEN TOLD, directly, that Multi Regionalism
aka Regional Continuity have to be rejected because
of racism. I have been told this. I was called a racist
the first time I advocated Multi Regionalism online,
here on usenet. Over on Tumblr an Australian student
cursed "White supremacist" in their rejection of
Multi Regionalism.
It's a social program. And it's consistent.
FOR YEARS people argued AGAINST Neanderthals
and so called "Moderns" interbreeding. There was
never a shortage of evidence. Even just plain
common sense said it had to have happened, as
every last instance when one human population
has encountered another did result in interbreeding.
But it was rejected. Rudely rejected. Attacked.

Why?
In protection of the narrative, the social program.
IT'S THE SAME THING! This shunning of Neanderthal
heritage, the rejection of Aquatic Ape; it's the same
thing! They both threaten Out of Africa purity and
the decision was made that Out of Africa purity must
be preserved.
It's not science, it's a social program.
The rotten core that control paleo anthropology has
decided that racism never existed, not ever, and if
they don't advance this Out of Africa purity nonsense
then racism will suddenly appear... for the first time,
ever.
Multi regionalism threatens the narrative. Mungo Man
supports Multi regionalism so that had to go. Archaic
types in Africa are a threat, so they're re cast as
moderns. ironically, archaic types in China of similar
age are no problem so they stay...
Outside the English speaking world they're laughing at
us. The Chinese teach Multi regionalism/Regional
continuity. They insist that they've found the ancestors
to Asians. The documentary from China I recently
recommended included a French team, and they were
quite comfortable with the ideas as well. It's only us
who are ordered to never stray from the talking points,
and Aquatic Ape is straying.
