Just being able to interbreed isn't usually considered enough-- their offspring also have to be successful.

im not sure its been confirmed because the hybrid was only discovered recently but I believe it is considered likely but the hybrids are so rare it can not really be tested

Europeans and Neanderthal have a 0.08 - 0.12 nucleotide difference
Europeans and Khoisan's isolated members of haplogroup 0 0.11-0.13 nucleotide difference

This does not mean they are not the same species tho. what this actually means is Neanderthal should be classified as homosapeins and science is waking up to that

Seems that there is Eurasian admixture in Khoisan population, so just based off that I am very skeptical of this. I say just post the link so we can see it, maybe coordi can be a mediator.

FYI they also show Neanderthal DNA.

The Khoisan tribespeople of today still live much as their ancestors did—they are hunter-gathers who are also pastoralists—they are most familiar to westerners as the people who speak with distinctive clicking noises. Until now, they were believed to have the purest African gene pool due to their thousands of years of isolationist practices.

The team acquired DNA samples from 32 people living in Khoisan tribes in southern Africa—an analysis revealed Eurasian gene segments in all of them. But that wasn't the end of the story. To understand how the gene fragments got into the Khoisan tribespeople, the researchers turned to archeological and linguistic evidence to build a possible time-line of events. In so doing, they've found what they believe to have been a migration back into Africa by people of the Middle East (ancestors of the people that migrated to Europe and Asia) approximately 3000 years ago. Those people made their way to various parts of the continent, including a part of eastern Africa from which the Khoisan tribespeople had migrated south approximately 900 and 1800 years ago.

The researchers found something else—the Khoisan tribespeople also had snippets of Neanderthal DNA in their genes as well—courtesy of their Eurasian heritage.


type in "nucleotide difference between nederthals and europeans" in chat gpt

Neanderthals and modern Europeans are very closely related at the nucleotide level, with overall genetic differences between the two groups being far smaller than the differences between any two random living humans today.

xhonasians broke off with happlo group L-0 around 150-200k years ago and never made it to Europe. Neanderthals timeframe something like 300k-40 years ago.

Of course they interbred. they just interbred less because of distance I'm not sure what the point your trying to make there is . love Anthropology.

The khosians also have the most diversity of any group on earth . so a 32 person sample size might not cut it

"Khoisan populations display extensive cultural, linguistic, and genetic diversity, representing the most genetically diverse human groups on Earth"

and that's comparing them to themselves not to others.

I think its because of their isolation tendencies

My understanding is that when you compare two individuals and two species, the amount of sites you are comparing are not the same. You would be considering all of the nucleotide sites between individuals and only some portion that every member of the species shares between species.

the main topic would be education.If we accept blacks and other minorities have worse educational outcomes on average (and so jobs and everything else correlated to that) because of genetic reasons we stop wasting money on them , redoing curricula to "accomodate" them, and removing high talent classes because "they are racists".We start treating them as a group which has expect

I’m pro-luciom, but what would he actually have to say here to get a complete ban?

This is a piece of work


My tolerance for bait is too high to be outraged by this. Dave Chappelle damn that’s racist vibes

Edit: outraged


Luciom you dumb mother****er if I lived next to a library I’d probably read more books

Its a ban worthy post


I would like to clarify from personal experience that at least in the People's Republic of California buying a house in a "good school" neighborhood, you are paying much more than a $200k premium. Probably closer to $1M.

The problem is that every time the white liberals move in the neighborhood becomes gentrified. They love their matcha lattes and zero waste bulk co-ops.

FWIW I would guesstimate the demographics of my neighborhood are something like 40% Hispanic/40% white/ 20% Asian. In California at least, the "gentrified white liberal" neighborhoods are actually not particularly white at all.

Who in their right mind would want to live in California anyways.

Who in their right mind would want to live in California anyways.

According to Google, about 40 million people.


LA sucks but California is incredible


40 million people beat me to it so its too crowded for my taste, but the climate and terrain are incredible. I totally get the appeal of CA.


I think I must be missing something from this latest story, so I'm hoping someone in here can help.

This latest ICE facility shooting - The shooter has anti-ICE messaging on his bullet casings - how quaint, this is quite the fad, but he only shoots and kills detainees. Not one single ICE agent shot or law enforcement shot.

The shooter is a 29 y/o white male, who seems to live w/ his parents and by all accounts is likely an incell.

And the administration is calling this a liberal shooting.

What am I missing?

Fk off.. LA is awesome! 😀

Born and raised in LA, and if you know how to meet people, and you like taking advantage of everything LA has, it's amazing. No place like it... I've met so many interesting people, and had so many amazing experiences in LA over my lifetime. Only other place similar is NY. But still... not as cool.

Where else can you be at a random club and someone like Axel Rose is sitting next to you doing blow? 😉


I have an irrational hatred of traffic and I spent an hour to go less than 2 miles last time I was there and I would prefer to never experience anything like that ever again


Having just spent the last 17 or so months in San Diego county I can say that it's without a doubt the nicest part of the US that I've ever lived.

Traffic in LA is horrible though and living there and dealing with that doesn't seem fun at all.


La Jolla is an absolute gem. Monterrey, Santa Cruz, San Francisco, all the national parks, nor cal redwoods, etc.

I fkn hate traffic too. I've done everything in my life to have short or no commutes.

When you live in LA, you learn how to get around though. You know when to go somewhere, when not to, etc... but best of all you make local friends that you can walk to places with, because there's a lot to do in walking distance when you're in the right areas.

I don't live in LA anymore. I moved to a beach city in the OC. I've also lived in SD as well (Del mar).

I can name-drop pages long. And Hollywood parties are fun, and interesting.

Maybe I'd be there w/ you if the food scene was better, along w/ the weather... but LA, man... sorry.
