White nationalist racists do not consider Jewish people to be "white" do they? Thank you for your reply m2c and Happy Friday to thee. I'm gonna ask though.
As I mentioned in your ancestry question ... since we can only trace our DNA back to one man (200,000 years ago) and one woman (180,000 years ago) - that means there have been thousands of bloodlines which are no longer around today. Since there is no trace of their DNA in modern people, it is highly likely there were entire peoples (families, tribes) killed off before written history.
Indeed, but let's not jump to the conclusion that the lost peoples were necessarily killed by others. Some may have succumbed to epidemics or other natural disasters, for example, leaving too few to continue their lines.
I wonder too, how much interbreeding is needed to lose one blood-line's identifiable DNA?
I guess those are possible scenarios, as well. Though the odds must be astronomical of one person's DNA being the only survivor of such. Unless ... there is a genetic disposition towards "luck". Hmmmmmm. Wouldn't that be something?
I was reading an article the other day ... and didn't fully understand everything ... but it sounded like the people of Africa still have the highest level of "remnant" DNA for other human races. (Neanderthal, etc)
Thank you for your reply Walt. Homonids appeared 2.5-4 million years ago in Africa. We are descended from them or that is newer models. Tracing DNA back 200,000 years amazes me since DNA tracking wasn't discovered until how soon ago? Happy Friday! :)
