August 2019 National Geographic proves nearly all Europeans have significant East African ancestry

SoreShoulder
The August 2019 issue of National Geographic described genetically derived data which establishes that modern day Europeans are descended from three main prehistoric migrations into Europe.  There was one from Central Asia around 6,000 years ago, one from the Middle East around 8,000 years ago, and one from East Africa around 14,500 years ago. 

Other research has proven that the people who came here 14,500 years ago from East Africa had black skin, curly black hair, and African f a c i a l features.  (Autocensor won't let you say "f a c i a l?)  Google "Cheddar Man 2018" and bear in mind that England was connected to Europe via a land bridge called Doggerland which was large and wide and had people living on it.  

There are well-known traces of African ancestry in some places in Europe such as Ireland but the latest research proves nearly all Europeans have significant East African DNA.  The gene for skin color is not very important and controls only skin color and not much else, so it is possible for a family to lose their darkness without losing all their African DNA, especially in a place where lighter skin would bring better health.  Farming was becoming important just as the last two waves of immigration were coming in to Europe and there would have been increasing crowding and less access to fresh, vitamin D-rich foods like wild game and greens.  

One source mentioned the average English person had 10% East African DNA, the average Norwegian had around 15%, and the average Belarussian had 30%.  

This DNA would not show up as East African on many commercial DNA tests because they only tell you what regions of the globe currently have DNA similar to yours and where the people who have your dna historically came from.  The migration from East Africa was definitely prehistoric.

    (Those people are thought to still have had African racial characteristics.) Well not according to Cheddar's man recreation. Except for darker skin.

    There's the nose, still present in many Europeans like Climate Kid.  

    Eske Willerslev's 37,000 year old individual may have been a part of a population that got pushed out of Europe by the ice ages.  I have read that there may have been only about 1,500 individuals in Europe during the height of the last ice age.  As the glaciers receded, the people he calls Europeans would have steadily moved back home. 
                     Only 1500? Who claimed this number and what evidence is presented? The later migrations of Africans had breed with ancient black hominids that had died out but they carried their DNA with in them. Like I said before there is no pure African race in The USA anymore.

    Maybe it was 1600, maybe even 10,000 or more, but it is plausible that when it was really cold and half the place was covered with glaciers, there were fewer people than during good weather.  Hunting and gathering can't support as many people per acre as farming, and besides that there was the extreme cold. 

    Race is just a choice about how to define a group's identity.  There never was any such thing as a pure African race. 

    There is evidence of a little interbreeding with unknown hominins but it mainly exists around the equator, not in all persons of recent African descent.

      I mean all the Caucasians that had offspring with early Africans arriving in The USA. When I say a pure black race is no longer present in The USA.   It's another place in time when this latest integration took place and it was very different and more distinct than another past migrations of Africans coming out of Africa. Believe it or not.

    I doubt intermarriage was the rule and not the exception.

         More than likely it started with powerful White men with housekeeping black women like Thomas Jefferson for the best known one.

    1. The DNA study, combined with multiple strands of currently available documentary and statistical evidence, indicates a high probability that Thomas Jefferson fathered Eston Hemings, and that he most likely was the father of all six of Sally Hemings's children appearing in Jefferson's records. Those children are Harriet, who died in infancy; Beverly; an unnamed daughter who died in infancy; Harriet; Madison; and Eston.

       

    2. Many aspects of this likely relationship between Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson are, and may remain, unclear, such as the nature of the relationship, the existence and longevity of Sally Hemings's first child, and the identity of Thomas C. Woodson.

    ....a dilution of Neandertal lineages in Europeans by admixture with an unknown ancestral population...
    Europeans are supposedly about one percent less Neanderthal than Asians or American Indians, about two percent vs. three percent.  If they all were about 30% East African, that would serve to explain the difference.  However, most Europeans have less than the required amount of East African ancestry, such as England which is 10% East African on average. 

    I believe the East Africans are thought to have arrived in Europe 14,500 years ago, which is after the extinction of the Neanderthals.  

    Maybe I read some bad material.  I remember reading the highest levels of Neanderthal were found in Italians and the lowest in the far east.   Which made sense to me as around the Mediterranean was where the two species overlapped.  Homo Sapiens migrating up from Africa  and Neanderthal being pushed down by the cold.   Also there was more Homo Erectus in the Asians as they were there before Homo Sapiens showed up.

      Fat chance of that happening. President Obama was half white but every black voter couldn't see it. Just ask : Mitt Romney a Liberal Rhino about it. Crazy world where one's Character is totally forgotten about in voting and party politics.
