This is an interesting topic, is there anyone here who has more knowledge about it that could pm me ? Would be interested to know why some Asiatics are depicted as darker than others, and how did that type of appearance come into to existence in the Levant, Canaan in particular. i.e did it happen in situ as a result of naturally occurring diversity, or is it the result of earlier inhabitants from Africa ? If its linked to an African presence, whats the evidence for this ? (genetic, linguistic, material etc). Am new,so go easy on me, and pm me if possible. They were NOT DARK Asiatics!!!! The Middle Eastern Eurasian Farmers went into Europe about 10 000-7000 years ago! How come Europeans are not dark Asiatics? Southern Europeans look exactly like their cousins, indigenous Middle Eastern people! I think this site has been over run by Afronazis!

[Originally posted by The Explorer:] It's likely because it reflects the diversity of "Near Easterners". It wouldn't be unreasonable for elements of these dark skinned groups to be closely related to Africans, since there had been continuous movements of Africans into the region. "Near East" doesn't have the same situation going like that in south and southeast Asia, where we have dark people with the deepest lineages for non-Africans. No they were not related to Africans! Modern indigenous Middle Eastern people have less than 4% black African DNA!

Care to back that up and what exactly is a Black African Dna?? if you are talking about folks further east then maybe I get your point but not the Levant and across the peninsular Arabia.

how are we find what type of race and skin color people of by the DNA? You can't because there is no such thing as "race" you can find point of origins, Dna is like a bar code it developed in a certain area you can track its movement and it's mutation say every 10kyrs or so,if you want to find out what a person may actually look like you need skeletal remains if you can get tissue you can tell how lite or dark a person was.

You can't really tell what a person's color or even their features are by the DNA. All it can tell you is their geographic ancestral origins. For example, my paternal DNA line goes back to Congo. However, on my father's maternal line there was considerable European mixture. So although his Y DNA was Congolese, his skin is white and his eyes are almost blue. The same thing can happen in reverse. There are a lot of very dark skinned Afro Americans who have European Y DNA lines. Even though the male line is European, the female line is African. It can get even more complex, you can have two children from the same mother and father. They can have the same maternal and paternal lines yet have radically different skin colors. This is because they carry other genes besides the male line and female line. So if one parent is lite and the other dark, one child may inherit the color of the ligte parent and the other the dark parent. Or both parents may be dark, but one of them had a lite grand parent or great grand parent and the child inherits those genes. Or, both parents may be lite, but the child inherits a gene from a darker ancestor. The idea of race really isn't scientific at all. It is always based on cultural or political ideas. Not even a skeleton can tell you all about a person. It can never tell you their skin color, their hair color, or texture, their eye color. Nor can it tell you things like lip shape, exact nose shape or ear shape.
