Out of Africa Busted

Say hello to Charlie for me Beag!

This fraud will go down in history. It's all clear now.

The African Eve model derived initially from the Afro-European sapiens model of G.
Bra¨uer’s work, which relied on the ‘datings’ of Professor Reiner Protsch ‘von Zieten’.
Following his forced resignation from the University of Frankfurt, it has become clear that
all of Protsch’s dates for German human remains were spectacularly false, and that the
replacement advocates had been the subjects of a hoax for several decades. If they had not
relied on the claimed ages of the German fossils, it is unlikely that the model would have
been launched quite so enthusiastically, if at all. The recent rejection of the Upper Palaeolithic
age of nearly all German human remains formerly attributed to that period has
certainly great consequences for all versions of the African Moderns model.
Of particular interest is the Hahno¨fersand calvarium, described as so robust that it was
judged to show typical Neanderthal features (Bra¨uer 1980). It was initially dated to the
earliest ‘Upper Palaeolithic’ (Fra-24: 36,300 ± 600 BP; UCLA-2363: 35,000 ± 2,000 BP,
or 33,200 ± 2,990 BP; Bra¨uer 1980), results that conflict sharply with those now secured
by Terberger and Street (2003): P-11493: 7,470 ± 100 BP; OxA-10306: 7,500 ± 55 BP.
The re-dating of the skull fragment from Paderborn-Sande yielded even more dramatic
differences. Originally dated at 27,400 ± 600 BP (Fra-15; Henke and Protsch 1978),
Terberger and Street (2003) report an age of only 238 ± 39 BP (OxA-9879). Then there is
the cranial fragment of Binshof near Speyer, dated by R. Protsch in the 1970s as Fra-40 to
21,300 ± 320 BP. According to Terberger and Street it is only 3,090 ± 45 carbon years old
(OxA-9880). These authors also analyzed two individuals from the Urdho¨hle near Do¨britz,
which had been attributed to the Upper Palaeolithic, and found them both to be about
8,400 years old. Only one German ‘Upper Palaeolithic’ specimen remains safely dated to
earlier than 13,000 BP, the interred remains from Mittlere Klause in Bavaria. A carbon
isotope date of 18,200 ± 200 BP (UCLA-1869) from a tibia fragment (Protsch and
Glowatzki 1974) has been confirmed by Terberger and Street’s date from a vertebra, of
18,590 ± 260 BP (OxA-9856). It has therefore become clear that there are currently no
‘modern’ remains from the first half, if not the first two thirds of the west-central European
Upper Palaeolithic. Nearly all the dates for German humans from the radiocarbon laboratory
of the University of Frankfurt am Main appear to be in error by significant margins,
and a similar problem may have affected some from the University of California, Los
Angeles. Another German key specimen, the skull from Kelsterbach, has mysteriously
disappeared from the safe of the Frankfurt institution. It had been dated to 31,200 ± 1,600
(Fra-5) (Protsch and Semmel 1978; Henke and Rothe 1994), but is now also believed to be
of the Holocene, perhaps the Metal Ages (Terberger and Street 2003).

The Club will probably try to keep this quiet. But - there is no "Out of Africa"

So what now will replace it as the new dogma I wonder.

[Beagle]

The Multi-Regional Theory.

Here is the entire study. An 18 page PDF. Thanks to Charlie and Min.

Enjoy.

I'll wait for the abridged version!

[Minimalist]

I'll wait for the abridged version!

You do have time to read it, you know!

[Digit]

Nagger!

[Beagle]

The link went dead for me. I can't even access it from your email Min.

[Minimalist]

I just used the link you posted. No problem.

Maybe someone else can try?

[Beagle]

OK - now my computer tells me I'm having a problem with my Acrobat Reader. That may have been my problem all along. I've already got the paper downloaded, so I'm cool.

[Beagle]

I'm gonna study the paper some more. Back later.

[Manystones]

thanks guys - most appreciated... I am going to go do my studying

[Digit]

Well I read it Min. Destroys a few reps doesn't it? How anybody can support the short range theory is a mystery to me, it completely ignores all achievements prior to their main event.
Bloody silly!

[Manystones]

Moreover, the notion that different ethnic groups such as robust sapiens people (e.g. ‘Neanderthals’) and gracile sapiens people (‘Moderns’) used different technocomplexes is perhaps one of the greatest fallacies of the replacement proponents.

Anyone fancy discussing MRT?

In one fell swoop Bednarik does it again...

AHOB II Director of Programme - Chris Stringer http://www.nhm.ac.uk/hosted_sites/ahob/index_2.html

Where I had some concerns about the direction of this programme before reading this article I now have some serious doubts... Chris Stringers credibility as a leader for this important programme is in question.
