Black man in SC has DNA that predates humans - murks Eve story, etc

[doct3rdr3]

What does this mean for the slaveholders, nazis and segregationists that said untouched west Africans weren't "fully human"? Were.. they... right?

The Torah is actually inconsistent on that point between Genesis 1 and 2, since they were most probably 2 different creation accounts that were eventually bound together, but that doesn't really matter here- Pre-Adamism was never a dominant view in recorded Hebrew, Jewish or Christian theology, and isn't now. Most modern Jews and Christians who don't believe in evolution will reject this study. Also, the "murk" in the thread title refers to the "mitochondrial Eve" theory, not the Hebrew tale.

That's the thing. It isn't inconsistent. It's two different times, places and people. One is talking about 'mankind' ('iysh), the other is talking about Adam ('adam). This is apparent when the accounts are read in Hebrew as opposed to using the KJV translation which is woefully out-of-date with modern scholarship.

As far as the 'Mitochondrial Eve' theory, this really doesn't 'murk' that since being descended from one pair of humans wasn't the hypothesis. 'Eve' is just the most recent common ancestor of all humans from approximately 200,000 years ago.​

for some reason on HL I assumed the mitochondrial eve was what people would assume I was talking about.

What gave you that idea considering being descended from one pair of humans wasn't what the theory proposed? Then the religious debate started and it all went to hell......​
