Ross doesn't deserve this sort of treatment from you, Jack.
I'm a bit surprised at your response.

I don't agree. If you are posting in Sci.Archaeology I presume you
know about how people today conjecture about people from the past, by
observing as many way examples as possible. I don't know where and how
each person or generation existed between 40,000 ya and today, but I
can accept someone doing the comparison, without needing them to
demonstrate every possibility that might differ.

Do you think that I don't "accept" what Schallici has done? Of course
I do. (What on earth would it mean not to "accept" it?) But he does
more than just make the comparisons. He talks about an earlier
migration out of Africa, possible interbreeding with Neanderthal, etc.
We know about people moving through S Asia to Indonesia and Australia
ca.50 kya, fine. Trouble is he (or the very inadequate summaries we
have to work with) leaves out the last bit of the story, namely how
these interesting traits got to NZ some 49,000 years later. For
raising this question I was treated like an imbecile.


I won't even get into the part Maori micro biologist who found that
Maori women are from Taiwan and Maori men are from Melanesia. Highly
simplified, but basically the Melanesian men seemed to be the better
genetic catch and squeezed out whatever characteristics the original
male group migrating had.

Why don't you want to get into it? And what's the relevance to the
present discussion?
