DNA evidence of Negritos of S.E. Asia
The (London) Independent, Aug 31, 1998 Â by Steve Connor Science Editor
“SCIENTISTS MAY have found the direct descendants of one of the first tribes of early humans to emerge out of Africa about 100,000 years ago.
The discovery promises to shed light on one of the most enigmatic periods in early human history, when the first people colonized the world, eventually leading to Homo sapiens becoming the only species to dominate every corner of the globe.
Locks of hair stored at Cambridge University for the past 90 years have revealed DNA evidence to link the inhabitants of the remote Andaman Islands with the first anatomically modern humans to migrate across Asia.
An analysis of their genetic makeup indicates they could be a lost tribe that has remained isolated from other humans for many thousands of years.”
Further studies have shown that New Guinea Highlanders, who are also very short with frizzy hair, to have also migrated out of Africa as much as 120,000 years ago. It is highly likely that the Negritos of; Mindanao, North Queensland and Tasmania are also remnants of this ancient migration out of Africa.
Legend has it that these short dark frizzy haired people inhabited Micronesia and much of Western Oceania. Some people even believe the Menehune of Hawaii and Tahiti were also Pygmies.

DNA traces Chinese back to Africa
DNA: May hold clues to the start of human life
Genetic researchers say they have found fresh evidence that Chinese people are descended from Africans.
The findings also add new weight to theories that all human life began in Africa.
Academics from the University of Texas and their colleagues in China studied 28 population groups in China and concluded that most – if not all – had their genetic origins in Africa.
They looked at pieces of DNA known as microsatellites, which are short, repeating DNA segments that yield information about genetic variation among people.
The researchers found that all Chinese have a great deal in common genetically, although there are some regional variations.
The findings, published by the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, supports what has come to be known as the “Out of Africa theory”.
This theory contends that homo sapiens, the modern form of human life, is descended from a population of ancestors who migrated out of Africa about 100,000 years ago.
The new data also supports the idea of an “African Eve” who is an ancestor of all living humans.
The Eve hypothesis, first published in 1987, suggests that all human DNA can be traced back to a single female. This “Eve” would have lived in Africa about 200,000 years ago.
The latest research challenges an alternative theory which holds that several different groups of humans evolved separately at the same time in several places around the world.
Chinese mythology holds that the Chinese are descended from a single ancestor, the Yellow Emperor.
More recent Chinese scholarship has argued that the Chinese evolved separately from other races.

he blog was how do i say it… relevant, finally something that helped me. Thanks
Good points?I would note that as somebody who in point of fact doesn’t write on blogs much (if truth be told, this can be my first submit), I don’t suppose the time period ‘lurker’ may be very turning into to a non-posting reader. It’s no longer your fault in the least , but possibly the blogosphere could come up with a greater, non-creepy identify for the ninety% folks that enjoy studying the content .
Hello there, just became aware of your weblog thru Google, and found that it is truly informative. I am gonna be careful for brussels. I will be grateful should you proceed this in future. Many other folks shall be benefited from your writing. Cheers!
Odd , your article shows up with a blue hue to it, what color is the main color on your site?

One important thing is that when you are searching for a education loan you may find that you’ll want a co-signer. There are many scenarios where this is true because you might find that you do not have a past history of credit so the mortgage lender will require you have someone cosign the credit for you. Interesting post.
I feel that may be an enchanting point, it made me assume a bit. Thanks for sparking my considering cap. Sometimes I am getting such a lot in a rut that I just really feel like a record.
I’d come to agree with you here. Which is not something I usually do! I love reading a post that will make people think. Also, thanks for allowing me to comment!

Thanks for your beneficial post. Over time, I have come to be able to understand that the symptoms of mesothelioma cancer are caused by the actual build up associated fluid between the lining on the lung and the torso cavity. The disease may start within the chest place and propagate to other limbs. Other symptoms of pleural mesothelioma include weight-loss, severe inhaling and exhaling trouble, vomiting, difficulty eating, and infection of the face and neck areas. It ought to be noted that some people having the disease will not experience any serious symptoms at all.
It indeed does take bit to find fantastic info. such as this. Thank you very much.
