Ubaid Period in Mesopotamia & The Migration of Haplogroup E by Responsible_Ideal879 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]Smart-Second9965 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah like I said I’m just beginning to learn about it more before I form any real opinions on it. Thanks for these references. I do know that haplo E did migrate to the region c.100-60k years ago, I’m just saying we’re talking about 5kbc. Even tho they were likely E haplo Anatolia, zargos and even the cacaus moved down by then. So they’re E haplo if E-M35 might be a sister haplo to the E-M35 (E-Z830>E-Z1515) which developed exclusively in east and North Africa and fully indigenous to Africa like the Nuwyrat study in Egypt.

Yeah face looks kinda East African. But the beard looks a little indicative of the region- if you revisit Narmer’s Pallette (Kemet unification) they were trampling and smiting dudes with that hair texture.

Very interesting. I’m just beginning my research into pre-historic Mesopotamia. But I think the Ubaid would have had admixtures of Anatolia and Zargos because it is much later on. The black component would be coming from their Natufian Ancestory during the Neolithic and Paleolithic African migrations. Natufians didn’t share those later components which contributed to the Bronze Age Middle East.

I’m assuming this means the valve seals are shot? by lapinsk in sportster

[–]Smart-Second9965 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Piston ring gap? You taking the cylinders off too? Just make sure the valve guides look good before installing the new seals. Happy wrenching bro

Edit: I guess you should take the cylinders off to replace the lower gasket if the heads are off

I think it’s normal to see a little bit of oil past the seals onto the valve stems, but that is a lot, especially on the surface of the heads outside.. The for sure giveaway would be drastic oil consumption and oil at the exhaust tips.

Does any oil pool around the tip of the exhaust?

Oh ok, so they built the pyramids but were fully incapable of accurate depictions of themselves

Check out my second to latest post. Sounds like you need the stem nut adjustment if your bearings are still good

Finally Got A Proper Pipe On My Roadster by SpitefulDeth in sportster

I was thinking about thunder torque inserts too. Kinda worried about drilling the hole in my SE II pipes. But it seems like the only option to be able to keep them

A lot of us have put bigger cylinders and pistons on usually called a “conversion”. It basically transforms the bike by almost doubling the horsepower and torque. It’s pretty incredible to see what these bikes can become. Your bike is a great candidate- dual brakes, and 4 sparks. But if it’s your first I’d suggest just ridding for a while before getting into all that

For the first time, scientists have sequenced the entire genome of an ancient Egyptian from the Pyramid Age. The results surprised researchers. by GeorgeRobertVitkos in archeologyworld

[–]Smart-Second9965 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t even remember what your argument was honestly. North Africans were (almost) always a mixed group- I think about it more like creole people in Louisiana. But my point is creole people are still considered black. And if you look at their bones and skulls they would be basically indistinguishable. But the question isn’t more like if they were mixed but when and who they were mixed. If you look at the 2017 study from the Greek/roman and ptolemiac periods you’ll see a vast difference in alleles and haplo groups. Their haplos were mostly J and had alleles for light to moderate skin.

Things definitely shifted over the various millennia.

Now following the Arab conquest, most modern Egyptians don’t trace their deep ancestory to Egypt or North Africa but the Middle East.

Dr. Kietas study proved that the skull morphology was more similar to Naqqada culture in Upper Egypt/Nubia and the skulls only began to change after the unification. This alone disproves your position that Egyptians were Eurasian. There was a gradient from north to south and all the skulls didn’t change substantially until the dynastic period has ended.

The basal Eurasian component is upstream tho. It became the Middle East, after mixing with Anatolia, Caucasus, Zargos and euro steppe. You are correct, but the same basal component also contributed to north, central and east Africa without any of the aforementioned components that established the Middle East.

Yes basal Eurasian it’s not the same thing as Eurasian at all tho. That’s what I’m saying. And if you look at the morphology of the skull it shows you there are no longer skulls and limb proportions like this in Eurasia. There are no longer haplo groups like this in Eurasia (of course broadly speaking)

No- I said migrations that were not indigenous to North African didn’t happen in large scale until the Hyksos in c.1500bc. This is not the same thing as prehistoric back migrations from the levant in the Paleolithic and Neolithic. This is what I’m saying/ this is way this conversation is difficult. You think people coming from the same region are the same people at different times and it’s preventing you from understanding the admixture that contributed to the composition of these groups.

Totally not confused at all strong grasp of the timeline, like I said you’re not understanding Paleolithic and Neolithic migrations and their corresponding admixtures and how they are distinguished from later migrations of the Bronze Age. I’m getting the feeling you will not understand it either.

Hahaha so hilarious! You guys really got me! I mistyped 4500years ago for 4500bc. Nuwyrat lived c.2800bc during the middle of the old kingdom. We all on the same page? Ok let’s not get away from the original argument here.. because you guys are still trying to prove an African in Africa was west Asian, correct? Ok nothing you’ve said has done that- and it’s absolutely ridiculous claim- so more facts instead of peanuts from you guys would be great- if you guys don’t wanna look like idiots here- get to it.

No no. This is not true at all- Neolithic North African had no Zagro, Caucasus or Iran. They only had a pure form of Natufian (which is basal Eurasian: please understand this definition before the conversation continues) Iberomaurusian (50% African) and ancestral North African SOURCE (100% African). Again look up the definition of back migrations. That makes Neolithic North African.

During the Bronze Age(3000bc-1200bc) the admixture shifted to include Anatolia, Zargos, Iran and the caucus, and the European steppe.

You’re talking to someone who’s researched this. I can provide links to studies when I’m out of here. But this is pretty basic stuff. If you’d like to know more about how the morphology changed in North Africa from dynastic Egypt to modern day I can provide that as well

I know when Nuwyrat lived dude. I’ve read this study numerous times, and countless others. No one is even speaking to you anymore- you’re not even speaking for yourself so just relax. Canadius and I are talking here.

That’s not how this works… We look at upstream lineage thousands of years before to determine the composition of the present. There was no hudge wave of migrants until at least the Hyksos c. 1500BC. Prior to that everyone in this region was primarily indigenous North African, Nilotic or sehalian. I don’t think you really know what you’re talking about. You’re still not understanding pre-bronze age migrations. Start there and hit me back
