i don't cater to the 90s campaign of no race, one origin.

if you believe that, good for you.

edit: some people thought i was serious in an online forum... sad stuff

Please stop subscribing to bad science. The "Out Of Africa" theory is the predominant explanation for the origin of humans.

Here's some analysis of Klyosov's work:
http://www.anthrogenica.com/showthread.php?1090-Analysis-of-Klyosov-s-Methodology

TL;DR:
Quote:
At first glance, this impugns his integrity, but he is open and specific about what he did. It follows that a more likely explanation is that he is simply grossly ignorant of statistical methodology and so prone to lousy workmanship. Probably a better question is how something this bad got past peer review.


The more I read about Klyosov the more it's clear why he self publishes and why his work on evolutionary biology is questionable at best.

If you weren't born there, of course you're not from Africa.

Your genetic ancestry however, might be.

It sniffs strongly of "I believe x" then working very hard to prove x, while ignoring anything that indicates to the contrary.

The fact that the different races can interbreed with the same ease that people of the same race can, and produce fertile offspring, mean we are most definitely all the same species. Yes there are minor adaptations to cope with different climates, that some people get over excited about, but we are pretty much all the same.

as long as blood is red, we walk the same way, smell the same way, talk the same way, breed the same way, we're all the same. Skin colour? Pfah, that only makes stuff bit more exciting. Everybody being in the same tone of gray is boring and counter-productive. How could you distinguish Guy X from Mister Y? And all the women looked the same as men? Scary and creepy right there.

There is no way someone who doesn't know genetics/college level biology is going to understand a word of that horrid mess he called an abstract.

It's a big hit among white supremacists who would like to believe that their ancestors sprang out of the earth in Europe 900 years ago.

The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity.

You mean like that guy Craig Cobb who took a televised DNA test and was told he had African ancestors?

He was not a happy bunny.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

lol, true! and reminds me of a quote from Carl Saga: "You have to know the past to understand the present...”

If you believe some of the people who aren't fans of mine, I wasn't born nor evolved from any common human ancestor, I simply congealed in a gutter somewhere and emerged this picture of magnificence that stands figuratively before you.

Im not opposed to this viewpoint. In actuality this explains a few things, especially about my mind, and how it has apparently never left the place of my 'birth'.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

I assumed at first that the OP's motivation for making this thread was that he had found something to keep away the troublesome notion that the aryan apes he likes to believe make up his ancestry, may have had anything to do with those non-aryan apes out of Africa.

But then I got curious about who else out there is linking to this fine piece of bad science, so I did a bit of googling around.

And indeed, it's a fave amongst white supremacists... but it's not just them: apparently the nutjobs who dig David Icke and the like, find in this study a validation to their theory that white people come from Atlantis.

... or from Planet X / Nibiru, whatever the Icke that is.

Or why the hell not, white people descend from aliens.
