Once again DNA studies confirm the "out of Africa" theory of human origins. This latest study shows that the greatest DNA diversity continues to exist among Africans and the least diversity among the peoples who migrated the greatest distant from Africa: Native Americans. The diversity study coincides with what we know in anthropology and linguistics: that the oldest and most diverse people were the Afro-Asiatics, whose dominion extended east, northeast-west, southwest from the Atlantic coast of modern Nigeria to the Indus River Valley. The early chapters of Genesis convey a great deal of information about the people of the Afro-Asiatic Dominion. Much of that information is here at Just Genesis. For example, see: http://jandyongenesis.blogspot.com/2007/11/linguistic-evidence-for-afro-asiatic.html

GENESIS through the lens of Anthropology (Founded 21 March 2007)
I found this very interesting in that a recently published study of British genetics indicated that the Isles are still predominantly Celtic. The Saxon and Norman invasions may have given Britain some new names (England, for one) but that the people remained overwhelmingly Celtic.
ReplyDeleteAnd now the Church with its not quite unique "doctrine, discipline and worship" are returning the favor to Africa where the faith that made certain fortunate nations the most free in the world may now also transform what was once the most enslaved. Ironic is it not?
Thanks, Alice, for the invitation to visit your blog. I shall certainly return again and again.
Welcome, Canon Tallis! Yes, it is another example of how God holds all things, that those who have strayed from understanding of God's word, are refuted by African Primates who are attuned to the biblical saga and divine promises fulfilled in Jesus Christ.
