Eh... East Africans are not Negroid. You are. Deal with it.

if they aren't a subtype of Negroid then what are they? You that they are NOT but you haven't said what they are. You are a big dummy.

I see you stopped claiming that North Africans are Negroid, glad you did, it was by far the most retarded statement of yours.

moron, I never said they were, I said that from the descriptions given of the Mesolithic crania they were not pure Caucasoids but a heterogenous group.

Well, the E3b in East Africa is from Middle-Eastern origin.

liar, E3b in East Africa is of East African origin stop telling lies moron

We obtained an estimate of 25.6 thousand years (ky) (95% CI 24.3–27.4 ky) for the TMRCA of the 509 haplogroup E3b chromosomes, which is close to the ky estimate for the age of the M35 mutation 306 reported by Bosch et al. (2001) using a different method. Several observations point to eastern Africa as the homeland for haplogroup E3b—that is, it had (1) the highest number of different E3b clades (table 1), (2) a high frequency of this haplogroup and a high microsatellite diversity, and, finally, (3) the exclusive presence of the undifferentiated E3b* paragroup. Our data show that haplogroup E3b appears as a collection of subclades with very different evolutionary histories. Haplogroup E-M78 was observed over a wide area, including eastern (21.5%) and northern (18.5%) Africa, the Near East (5.8%), and Europe (7.2%), where it represents by far the most common E3b subhaplogroup. The high frequency of this clade (table 1) and its high microsatellite diversity suggest that it originated in eastern Africa, 23.2 ky ago (95% CI 21.1–25.4 ky).

Do you ever read the stuff that you post?
The article about E3b you posted says the same thing I do.

Any other off-topic post made in this thread will be deleted.

You have a 100% probability of being Caucasoid and a 0% probability of being Negroid.

Well, that's what I expected in the first place

Not many Negroids in Krayina .

I´m white! Thank god, that took a load of my mind

Actually I already knew that but what the heck!

I'm black and in my opinion physical anthropology is by and large a dying science. Most of its living practicioners are quite old, raised in a time when race was thought to be a provable biological variable. Those who are not old are almost all forensicists, working with a priori definition of race. After all, what race is depends on cultural and philosophical considerations, like zodiac signs. The fallacy of race (when defined as sub-species) lies in the existance of natural and objective human types.

A quote from a physical Anthropologist:

the "reality of race" depends more on the definition of reality than on the definition of race.

The meaning of race is contextual. It's not something objective (not in the way you define it), like say, the periodic table or the planetary system.

Has anyone else gotten a 0% for both readings: Caucasoid and Negroid? --I did!
My wife measured me with a tape-measure [used for infants in hospitals]. Perhaps we did the measurements wrong. In any case, for the "strictly-Caucasian" calculator, I correctly came out "Mediterranean". On the "black-or-white calculator," by contrast, I came out as 0% Caucasoid, 0% negroid.
So . . . er . .. uh . . . am I Chinese? Austroloid? Eskimo?
It's clear we're doing the measurements wrong somewhere [since my ancestry is almost wholly Iberian].

That is technically impossible, unless there is a bug in the code. You can e-mail me your measurements if you're interested in what might be going wrong.

I find this very cool.

What can i use to measure and how do i measure

You have a 0% probability of being Caucasoid and a 100% probability of being Negroid.

I'm an east asian! I always thought mongoloids were closer to caucasoids!
