Re: What differentiates human prototypes from alleged ancestry
Really? And you know this for *most* cultures of 20,000 years ago how, exactly? Is that why the Parsis of India let vultures eat their dead? Individually?
Or why an African tribe gives the body of a dead person to the lions.

Re: What differentiates human prototypes from alleged ancestry
because humans tend to gather the dead bodies of their parents or children not too far from one another.
The search engine does often bring up cemeteries dated at about 4,000 or 5,000, but not at 30 or 40,000

You actually might want to try some basic research before you spout nonsense
quote:
Burial customs varied widely from tribe to tribe. Indians disposed of their dead in a variety of ways. Arctic tribes, for example, simply left their dead on the frozen ground for wild animals to devour....Southeastern tribes practiced secondary bone burial. They dug up their corpses, cleansed the bones, and then reburied them. ..Northwest coastal tribes put their dead in mortuary cabins or canoes fastened to poles. Further south, California tribes practiced cremation. In western mountain areas tribes often deposited their dead in caves or fissures in the rocks. Nomadic tribes in the Great Plains region either buried their dead, if the ground was soft, or left them on tree platforms or on scaffolds. .. But during outbreaks of smallpox or other diseases leading to the sudden deaths of many tribe members, survivors hurriedly cast the corpses into a mass grave or threw them into a river.

This is just native americans. This took me less than 1 minute to find. I am sure if I spent 10 mins I could find dozens of other death rituals that do not meet you claim.

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

I guess you missed one of my prior posts. Here it is again:
quote:
PLoS One. 2008 Jul 16;3(7):e2700.
A 28,000 years old Cro-Magnon mtDNA sequence differs from all potentially contaminating modern sequences.
Caramelli D, Milani L, Vai S, Modi A, Pecchioli E, Girardi M, Pilli E, Lari M, Lippi B, Ronchitelli A, Mallegni F, Casoli A, Bertorelle G, Barbujani G.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: DNA sequences from ancient specimens may in fact result from undetected contamination of the ancient specimens by modern DNA, and the problem is particularly challenging in studies of human fossils. Doubts on the authenticity of the available sequences have so far hampered genetic comparisons between anatomically archaic (Neandertal) and early modern (Cro-Magnoid) Europeans.
METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We typed the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) hypervariable region I in a 28,000 years old Cro-Magnoid individual from the Paglicci cave, in Italy (Paglicci 23) and in all the people who had contact with the sample since its discovery in 2003. The Paglicci 23 sequence, determined through the analysis of 152 clones, is the Cambridge reference sequence, and cannot possibly reflect contamination because it differs from all potentially contaminating modern sequences.
CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: The Paglicci 23 individual carried a mtDNA sequence that is still common in Europe, and which radically differs from those of the almost contemporary Neandertals, demonstrating a genealogical continuity across 28,000 years, from Cro-Magnoid to modern Europeans. Because all potential sources of modern DNA contamination are known, the Paglicci 23 sample will offer a unique opportunity to get insight for the first time into the nuclear genes of early modern Europeans.
A 28,000 years old Cro-Magnon mtDNA sequence differs from all potentially contaminating modern sequences - PubMed
30,000 year old modern human skeletons found in Europe are the ancestors of modern Europeans as the DNA evidence demonstrates.
Contrary to expectations, history has demonstrated that there's no reason why it would have been impossible for Humans to have reached a population of 1 million persons in less than 20 thousand years, when the population was 10,000
But you are saying that this boom HAD TO HAPPEN 30,000 years ago, and since it didn't those human-like skeletons had to be from something other than modern humans.

Anyone's genetic combination might be a genealogical continuity of whoever it will be; and that is very different from a paternity test.
A simple paternity test is all that the natural selection theory (for the origin of the Human body) needs to prove that it's correct. Other than that, it will be just another brick in the wall of believed things that becomes an obstacle for many 'many men' not see the open road

False. Mitochondrial DNA extracted from Neanderthals from the same region and the same time period demonstrated that their mitochondrial lineages do not have a living representative in Europe. DNA sequencing is a paternity test, and it demonstrates that the population of modern humans 30,000 years ago are the ancestors of modern Europeans.
ABE: Mitochondrial DNA actually serves more as a maternity test, but that is beside the point.

Re: What differentiates human prototypes from alleged ancestry
Either the popular meaning of the term 'paternity test' was distorted by the above reply
You are aware that they use DNA for paternity tests, aren't you?
The DNA from anatomically modern humans (Cro-Magnon) 30,000 years ago demonstrates that they are the ancestors of modern Europeans in the same way that a DNA paternity test indicates paternity. What more do you want?
or it's actually saying 'Anyone of us might be a son or daughter of those Neanderthals' which is absurd.
If you had paid attention you would have understood that the same tests showed that no living modern human carries neanderthal mitochondria. This shows a DISCONTINUITY between neanderthals and modern humans.

Indeed, Cro-Magnon is not a descendent of Neandertal. After seeing a discontinuity of the dna sequence then the title given by science, 'Neandertal our ancestor' has been gradually changed to 'Neandertal our closest extinct relatives',
because of the belief that a different genealogical continuity would still be evidence of evolution
regardless of the fact that no evidence was found that a skeleton of human prototype dated at 30,000 would have had a son or daughter;
If the human body was not made by intelligent designer then there is no justice other than that of the world,
However, inside a Court house, even justice of this world does not apply belief to the most current and trivial things;
Instead, the justice only says that a person had descendants when evidence is found that there was a son or a daughter.

I don't see the relevance of "justice" to this topic, but it's your topic, and you brought it up... Well, I think I would agree with you here: "there is no justice other than that of the world." Do you have a problem with that? (I guess that would have to be another topic.)
However, inside a Court house, even justice of this world does not apply belief to the most current and trivial things;
Instead, the justice only says that a person had descendants when evidence is found that there was a son or a daughter.
"I am not a lawyer," and I'm not a biologist either, but it seems entirely sensible to expect that DNA testing would work to establish whether or not two individuals were related as grandfather and grandson, or even great-grandfather and great-grandson, without having access to DNA samples from the intermediate generation(s). It's in the nature of the evidence that these relationships can be established with the same certainty as the father-son case.
I haven't tried to spend the few minutes of web research that would be needed to check into that question -- perhaps one of the others here knows the answer already from personal experience with the research involved. (Presumably there are differing constraints on tracking paternal versus maternal descendant relations, but at the level of population studies, these things do not impede the clarity of the evidence.)
Let's get rid of the BELIEVING!
That would be an admirable goal indeed. In order to achieve it, you also have to get rid of the dogmatic denial of evidence, and abandon the silly notion that some "revelatory" text written thousands of years ago is "inerrant".

Re: What differentiates human prototypes from alleged ancestry
It's in the nature of the evidence that these relationships can be established with the same certainty as the father-son case.
As in the observation that a huge number - 8% of the male population of Asia - of folks that share y-chromosome markers apparently inherited from Genghis Khan. Not as much a matter of believing, CD7, as a matter of going where the evidence takes you. You don't get a shared string of unusual DNA from nowhere.

But it is very strong evidence of a genetic continuity between the Cro-Magnon population and the modern population.
What evidence do you have that there is no genetic continuity?

It takes more than a possibility left to actually verify what really took place 30,000 years ago,
Acceptance — strong evidence - when you have the proof that 30,000 years ago there was Human life IN REPRODUCTION naturally and spontaneously [for example, the skeletons of two real relatives; father and son or a mother and her child] then that is the evidence of evolution.
-
Rejection — lack of evidence - when the above proof is not found then the alleged 'genealogical continuity', in regards to a skeleton dated at 30,000, is still a presumed POSSIBILITY of descendents or ancestry.
-
Weak evidence — therefore the so called evidence is weak in regards to proof of descendants and only proves that there was human prototype(s); an older version of a perfect human product on the Earth.
-
Conclusion: The above proof is necessary so that the possibility can be called total SURENESS.
If one states that a possibility is assurance then he's believing;
That is the clear purpose of every camouflage - to make believe
Without believing or making believe there's no possibility at all of a robber [or one that deceives] to do his job;
his carrier would be in permanent vacation.

So you are assuming that Cro-Magnon populations were infertile until shown otherwise?
