Lee, I didn't realise it was possible to delete entire messages , but you may have a missed one of the "best " (as in illogically hilarious ) ones yet . I'm only sorry I didn't respond ,but it was in reply to one of your posts and I was waiting for your to resp[ond first , then it disappeared .by Geotio - Ancient History
Bit of a problem with the comment "Dutch enthusiasts who visited the area with Naserifard in 2008 dated the cup marks to more than 40,000 years ago, putting them among the oldest rock art on the planet." I'm pretty sure the "Dutch enthusiasts " i.e. Jan Brouwer and Gus Van Veen didn't suggest an age of 40,000 BP for the rock art . Otherwise , great to see some pby Geotio - Ancient History
The quote was 'Hsn gave is to US'. Where did Lee say that or the those he was quoting ? Those he was quoting actaully said . "Remnants of Neanderthal DNA in modern humans are associated with genes affecting type 2 diabetes, Crohn’s disease, lupus, biliary cirrhosis, and smoking behavior. Another quote "other gene variants influenced human illnesses, such as type 2by Geotio - Ancient History
If it possible to exclude the associated horror the nazis provide some wonderful laughs with their beliefs and posturing .Some of the Ahnenerbe stuff is still being regurgitated today among the alt crowd . However the New Swabia expeditions seemed sensible enough and doesn't provide the usual laughs .by Geotio - Ancient History
This thread is indeed far too long . It was diverted after the second post and has taken a long time and many posts for the problem to sink in . The problem of the anthropomorphising was not a failure of being conversant with specialised language or technical terms , but ascribing a human attribute to a biological process . It was a logical error not an ignorance of terminologyby Geotio - Laboratory
You have avoided responding to all the points . Exactly , racism can only be applied to humans , you applied it a biological process . process ,and that's the basis of your error . Here's some baby steps . The thread was about Neanderthals , at least my initial posting was ,but the subject changed and diverted with your first post . “Quote: We find that the bulkby Geotio - Laboratory
The only one who is dodging the argument is you . The thread was about Neanderthlas but your anthropomorphising was not about Neanderthals it was about what you believed was racism in a paper .Here is what you said . " Quote: We find that the bulk of purifying selection against Neanderthal ancestry is best understood as acting on many weakly deleterious alleles. Purifby Geotio - Laboratory
Where did I say that there was a problem with hybrid ancestry ? We might have guessed at what the DNA shows . BTW my original response contained a word that looks like it led to it be blocked .by Geotio - Ancient History
Just like clockwork KK , yes another load of confusion from Rick . It’s a pity you didn’t predict the raising of the problems , otherwise you might have avoided the embarrassment of posting in the first place . If you believe that we are a hybrid species, which you mentioned twice , then there is nothing in the article to support that , so why link to it ? I think that you actuallyby Geotio - Ancient History
I believe your serious , why am I not surprised ? Look at the "logic " . "this thread is discussing Neanderthals, so therefore you can only mean Neanderthals. " That alone is as daft as I have ever seen . Total fantasy ,and wrong , see below . If a quote had been provided then there might have been something to discuss . But to treat it more seriously . Theby Geotio - Laboratory
You claimed I was saying that Neanderthals are not human . Where did I say that ? You made that up . Best to use quotes , not your favoured approach of prefacing something you imagined with "So you are saying ..." Yes you were anthropomorphising . And it was explained how , many posts ago . The thread is indeed about Neanderthals but that doesn't mean you didby Geotio - Laboratory
Another example of confusion and failure to understand a simple article . Where does it say ,we're a hybrid species , in the article ? It’s about "10 superpowers" , one of which is “Super you :How to unleash your inner braggart “ another is the “mutant powers you get from outsider genes “ .

That spoil sport reductionist Faraday explained what was happening nearly 200 years ago . Like everything in the universe it's still "magical ". A bit more to the point than the new age version .by Geotio - Laboratory
No shortage of racist scientists/biologists and there probably always will be . The problem with "Purifying Wow .Racist much ?" and the reason that is a category error and up there with “ in this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics“ is that the "purifying " is not in reference to a belief , or anyone that could have a racist belief , but a genetic process whichby Geotio - Laboratory
Robert Hooke was playing about with the same in the late 17 Th c . He didn't get all new agey about it though . Faraday was aware of it and it had quite an influence . Hans Jenny did get all new agey and called it cymatics . There was a Dover publication many years ago with lots of great pics . Great fun .by Geotio - Laboratory
Where did I say that ? You are making stuff up again .by Geotio - Laboratory
Thanks Lee , I missed that paper at the time and haven't read it since either . Some more info . "We find that a population that diverged early from other modern humans in Africa contributed genetically to the ancestors of Neanderthals from the Altai Mountains roughly 100,000 years ago. By contrast, we do not detect such a genetic contribution in the Denisovan or the two Euroby Geotio - Laboratory
As predicted you couldn’t respond meaningfully to the problems .The reason you never will is that you can’t refute the falsifiable content directly related to the thread . Fuller detail is available in earlier posts . Re the Category error . All you have to do is refute the following “It makes no sense to apply the term Racist to a genetic process which is found in all living orgaby Geotio - Laboratory
Let's face it , you can't respond meaningfully to the two major problems highlighted and you never will and we know why .by Geotio - Laboratory
When confronted with your errors and unable to respond meaningfully we get various stand ins . Usually a resort to the bored adolescent approach, "yawn" , I'm not interested anymore , or multiple content free diversionary posts . A graphic or emoticon doesn't really qualify as a meaningful response, either . Not only a continued evasion of the problems but not evby Geotio - Laboratory
Where is the red herring ? The only red herring is bringing up a non sequitur when you can't respond . You said “There were no category mistakes. “ That is wrong . It was explained to you . You evaded responding to the explanations . Here is yet another explanation . 1)A category mistake, or category error, or categorical mistake, or mistake of category, is a semantic or ontby Geotio - Laboratory
Your "point" has nothing to do with the problems that you continually evade i.e. KK 's category error and the contents of "After breeding with them, cave art shows up, jewelry shows up, elaborate graves materialize." If you had read and understood the humour related to the category error you might have got it , but you didn't and thus produced a non sequitur aby Geotio - Laboratory
You are hopelessly confused again .by Geotio - Laboratory
Did you read and understand the initial mentions of anthropomorphising , in relation to your category error . ? Here are the first two "Attributing a human trait to a process that is associated with all non human forms of life is extremely funny anthropomorphising ." . Then there was "To then have a problem with the same word in relation to anthropomorphising a bioby Geotio - Laboratory
He's a lovely bloke at times ,but the comparison was . " childish anthropomorphising and worthy of Homer . "by Geotio - Laboratory
The one where confusion reigns. i.e. Say you'll do one thing then fail to do so . e.g. "Im outta here " , only to reappear , making ta ta equally meaningless. Avoid problems and in doing so create further ones that get evaded . Contribute nothing meaningful to the thread . Waste time and space etc .by Geotio - Laboratory
