Utopia Talk / Politics / Cheddar Man - Debunked

swordtail Anarchist Prime	Thu Feb 15 18:29:29 Published on Feb 15, 2018 In this video, we take a look at a recent story which went international, relating to a study by a University College London team of archaeologists, the excitement centred around the forensic reconstruction of the ancient remains of Cheddar Man, whose skeletal remains, thought to be around 10,000 years old were found in Goughs Cave in Summerset, the British press and international media, were bursting at the seams in their excitement to inform the world that new DNA testing had revealed evidence suggesting that the earliest people of the British Isles likely had dark skin. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V690mntZD7A

Hot Rod Revved Up	Fri Feb 16 07:16:03 Is 10,000 years of evolution enough time to change skin color.

jergul large member	Fri Feb 16 09:38:30 HR You are phrasing the question wrong. Is 400 generations enough for a pigment mutation to gain dominance in a population?
Hot Rod Revved Up	Fri Feb 16 12:10:41 OK. ?
McKobb Member	Fri Feb 16 12:14:03 Closer to 500

jergul large member	Fri Feb 16 12:23:50 Mckobb 25 is probably a bit low. Median age of mother when giving birth to offspring that survive to give birth. 16-44 non-linear spread. To answer the question. Yes 400 generations is more than ample for a pigment mutation to gain dominance within a population. Think dog breeding if you are having difficulties grasping this intuitively.

McKobb Member	Fri Feb 16 12:28:29 20 years per generation in primitive cultures which I assume is the case here.
Hot Rod Revved Up	Fri Feb 16 13:29:37 Cool thanks, jergul. I figured that was probably correct but wanted to make sure. I read Jane Auel's series, Clan of The Cave Bear.It was set at 30,000 years ago and only wolves existed at that time. A thoroughly fun read. Six novels to the set.
jergul large member	Fri Feb 16 13:45:16 I liked the first one. Beastiality from book II on was not my cup of tea.
Hot Rod Revved Up	Fri Feb 16 13:57:44 My favorite part of the six novels was when the girl was at a gathering of Neanderthals. a saber-toothed tiger showed up and was circling a young girl that favored Ayla, the human girl. Ayla realizes that the tiger is the one she realized it is the same tiger she raised from a cub. When the tiger realizes that he is now seeing the real Ayla he goes to her and she jumps on his back and starts riding him. Needless to say, the Neanderthals were shocked. :)
Hot Rod Revved Up	Fri Feb 16 14:05:31 "I liked the first one. Beastiality from book II on was not my cup of tea." Beastiality - ? Do you mean where the Neanderthals leader's son forced himself on Ayla?
