DNA Sequencing Megathread! Neanderthals, Denisovans and other ancient DNA!

[Josquius]

I thought it would be something more on the theory that some prehistoric people came to North America from the east with short boat journeys on the edge if the ice. That the ones who came from Asia have European heritage.... Doesn't excite me so much

[Agelastus]

Come on, this is Eurocentrism.
Appearanly is not enough that Europe got the Renainssance Event because of their savage political fragmentation while quite civilized civilizations got fucked.

Come on. There's always been a difference between Siege posting and Siege posting drunk. I think most of us can tell the difference now.

He's got an excuse when he's drunk?

[KRonn]

This make sense and doesn't seem far fetched at all, that people of European and Asian types mixed before people moved across the Bering Strait. It doesn't seem so unusal given the proximity of the regions. Researchers have been finding European DNA in American Indians, and have found some American Indian skeletons with Caucasion features and this would be at least one reason for it.

Siege has the best schtick going.  Some times he lays it on too thick, and we call it "Siege posting drunk," but most of the time he gets the schtick just right, and we are left wondering (as intended) whether or not his post is a joke.

Still, it is racism and Eurocentrism.

Take for example, Twerking.

That shit been around for 20 years. 1993 New Orleans first recorded event. Since then, in thousands of hip-hop videos by African-americans.

Yet it took a white trash girl, Miley Cyrus, to do it in the MTV Video Awards, for the word to be added to the Oxford Dictionary.

If this is not racism, I don't know what it is.

What a racist post.  What you racists don't understand is that twerking is just the honk name for something that has been part of African dance for generations.  Just because some white Jew first notices it in 1993 doesn't mean that it was first "recorded" in New Orleans in 1993.  That shit has been around longer than you have been aware of it, and only a racist would argue that twerking first began when a Jew noticed it.

Eh they did it to themselves, never use slaves as your armed forces.  Granted the Mongols might have done them in anyway.

I saw it in clubs in the 80s.  Unfortunately I did not recorded it.  We do not know whether the first inhabitants of North America twerked.

We do know that it took a white girl doing it go convince some school boards to ban twerking at school dances.

[Josquius]

I don't know what twerking is and I somehow feel enter for it

Heck I saw white girls doing it years ago.  Not really sure why this suddenly became something worthy of discussion now.
