This is interesting how I created this thread, as well as their Rationalwiki entries, before this happened:...

Note that only 3/25 (12%) of the Akhmim skulls group with populations (as craniometric means) from Sub-Saharan Africa: AMSC 6 = Dogon, AMSC 9 = Zulu...
"A high degree of heterogeneity in this sample is suggested by the fact that 25 individuals classified into 11 different populations... most of the...
Results: AMSC 1 = Zalavar (ZAL) AMSC 2 = Egypt (EGY) AMSC 3 = North Japan (NJA) AMSC 4 = Egypt (EGY) AMSC 5 = Guam (GUA) AMSC 6 = Dogon (DOG) AMSC 7...

When I get the time, I'll post about the results in more detail and my interpretation. They're pretty interesting.
Craniofacial measurements can be used to determine the biological distance/genetic relatedness between human breeding populations. In 2014, the...
There's not yet been any conclusive DNA sampling from ancient Egyptian remains. However I found the following study on blood typing: The genic...
Open Psych is a website that publishes two "peer-reviewed" science journals. I highlight "peer-reviewed" because they are not properly reviewed by...

Rayznack was posting racialist pseudo-science was he not? I don't post that.
Why I am against defining a breeding population as a race: 1. Semantics: why not just calling them breeding populations? This was Ashley Montagu's...
If race is defined as a breeding population (gene pool), there are different human races because the human species is not a single panmictic...
I've always wondered what a classification would look like for human ecotypes. There would probably be hundreds, if not thousands of different...
Definition of Ecotype: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecotype There was also a paper put together in 2003, discussing human ecotypes: "The concept...
It makes more sense if Neanderthals etc. are Homo sapiens. So they are the same species, but a different subspecies: Homo sapiens neanderthalensis. I...
The Out of Africa (OOA) theory only concerns modern humans, hence it is also called Recent African Origin (RAO). Yes, no doubt the human species...
If anyone's confused as why (some) Upper Palaeolithic humans had considerably higher Neanderthal admixture, here's an explanation: "In the past...
