“A key period in human evolution wasn't in Africa” – David Reich
Someone mentioned OoA in a post so I thought I’d share what I recently heard David Reich say. For anyone following archeo-genetics, the field that has taken over the conversation of the evolution of humans, you know David Reich of Harvard is the top name in this discipline. That doesn’t mean his always right or that I always agree with him on his positions. He’s the establishment. Yes he’s a jew.
But its important to note when the establishment starts changing its tune. Here he is basically admitting that OoA is wrong — its myopic and arbitrary. Gene flow among homonins has been continuous in many directions across africa and eurasia for 2 million years and its been proven with archeo-genetics. “Human” adaptations in homo species likely did not emerge in africa.
Yes, but why stop there? Why not go all the way back 3.3 billion years to when we were bacteria?
Because that time frame concerns the evolution of humans and genus homo which is highly relevant, whereas your narrow focus of germans seems arbitrary.
If you can understand the evolutionary mechanisms working on homonins during that time period (multiregional hypothesis, cold winters theory) then you can develop theories which account for the german case and all other cases. Dum-dum.
The reason we start/stop at 5,000 years ago is because we are Ethnocentrists and we draw a line at the Battle Axe Culture.
No thats arbitrary.
Now it's time to focus on the future race of the Ubermensch.
Ok, next level, lets do it. But youre not in charge of the eugenics program because you’re evolutionarily ignorant.
