R24, The Andamanese, including the Sentinelese, are a subset of the Negrito people who migrated out of Africa and settled in Thailand, and Indochina, the Malay Peninsula, Indonesia, and the Philippines thousands of years before the arrival of the Austronesians.
by Anonymous | reply 35 | November 21, 2018 9:14 PM |
Here's a few things about them:
The Sentinelese are assumed to be direct descendants of the earliest humans who emerged from Africa. Their language is incomprehensible to even other tribes in the region.
It is said they have made little to no advancement in the over 60,000 years and still live very primitive lives, surviving mainly on fish and coconuts.
They are very vulnerable to germs since they have not had contact with the outside world. Even a common flu virus carried by a visitor could wipe out the entire tribe.
In 2006, the tribe killed two fishermen who strayed on to the island. They even rejected outside help after the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004, throwing spears and arrows at a rescue helicopter that flew above

r24/r25 They are not Black, as in African, nor are they the result of any slave trade.
Melanesians, Australian Aboriginals, and Southeast Asian negritos look Black, but genetic studies of these peoples have been performed, and so we know that, except for their looks, they have no more in common with Africans than the blondest Swede would have. The same applies to the Andaman people.
Despite their appearance, they're genetically East Eurasian, ie, they're more closely related to the Japanese, for example, than to West Eurasians (like Europeans) or any Africans.
My personal theory, as said above, is that they're among the oldest branches of the East Eurasian family, as they're one of the closest modern relatives of the Ust'-Ishim man and the Tianyuan man - ancient individuals from the Paleolithic whose remains were found in East Asia and Siberia. Studies of their DNA have been published recently.
If they're indeed such an old group of people, it'd not be a surprise if they had Black skin, which is likely the original skin color of humanity.
Western European hunter-gatherers from the Paleolithic and Mesolithic had light eyes, but they are also supposed to have had very dark skin according to DNA analysis, even though genetically they're closer to today's Northern Europeans (and the Basques of Spain) than to any other group of people.

r71 I just googled your question and I couldn't find any answer. But it is indeed a fact that the DNA of certain Andamanese populations, like the Onge, has been studied and is on public domain now. Anyone - professional geneticists, amateur bloggers, etc. - can, and have downloaded it to run their own analyses.
I found this nice TreeMix graph, illustrating the point I made about the Andamanese being East Eurasians. The graph shows three African nations (Mbuti, Biaka, Yoruba), four ancient Caucasian groups (a Neolithic Iranian group and a few pre-historic hunter-gatherers from Europe like the Bichon), as well as the Onge and the Han, the biggest ethnic group in China. Despite their 'African' appearance, the Onge are indeed closer to the Han Chinese than to any of above populations.

I got this from Wikipedia. I certainly don't blame them for protecting their chosen isolation by all means necessary, including death. Their fellow tribal groups nearly died off (some actually did) after contact with Western civilization.
[Quote]The Andamanese's protective isolation changed with the first British colonial presence and subsequent settlements, which proved disastrous for them. Lacking immunity against common diseases of the Eurasian mainland, the large Jarawa habitats on the southeastern regions of South Andaman Island likely were depopulated by disease within four years (1789–1793) of the initial British colonial settlement in 1789. Epidemics of pneumonia, measles and influenza spread rapidly and exacted heavy tolls, as did alcoholism. By 1875, the Andamanese were already "perilously close to extinction," yet attempts to contact, subdue and co-opt them continued unrelentingly. In 1888, the British government set in place a policy of "organized gift giving" that continued in varying forms until well into the 20th century.
[Quote]There is evidence that some sections of the British Indian administration were working deliberately to annihilate the tribes. After the mid-19th century, British established penal colonies on the islands and an increasing numbers of mainland Indian and Karen settlers arrived, encroaching on former territories of the Andamanese. This accelerated the decline of the tribes.
[Quote]Many Andamanese succumbed to British expeditions to avenge the killing of shipwrecked sailors. In the 1867 Andaman Islands Expedition, dozens of Onge were killed by British naval personnel following the death of shipwrecked sailors, which resulted in four Victoria Crosses for the British soldiers. In the 1940s, the Jarawa were bombed by Japanese forces for their hostility.

On November 15, the day before his murder, Mr Chau offered a group of local fishermen money to ferry him to the island.
Once ashore, he tried to engage islanders but they became angry and fired an arrow at him, according to AP.
In an incredible stroke of luck, it struck a book Mr Chau was carrying, which an acquaintance said was a Bible.
Perhaps interpreting it as a divine intervention — one that may have saved his life in that moment — the American retreated and swam back to the boatful of fishermen anchored a safe distance from shore.
That night, he wrote about his adventures in his journal and left the notes with the fishermen for safekeeping.
by Anonymous | reply 100 | November 22, 2018 10:06 AM |
Mr Chau made multiple unsolicited trips to the community over the past three years as he formulated a deluded plan to “establish the kingdom of Jesus” on the island.
Sources from within his missionary circle told AP that Mr Chau interacted with some of the tribesmen, who survive by hunting, fishing and gathering plants, on a handful of occasions.
He appears to have been tolerated until his penultimate journey, when locals started losing patience.

There may be upwards of 500. No one really knows. They do know that they used to live on the coasts but once people started visiting they moved inward towards the center of the island.

[quote]I certainly don't blame them for protecting their chosen isolation by all means necessary, including death.
Agreed. They have their own culture and their own language. They're not influenced by outside sources. I'm sure they know that the last few times outsiders visited they got sick or they were kidnapped (in 1880)! When some people, on an expedition, brought "gifts" like pots & pans, and a pig, they came to the shores and buried them. That's a clear indicator they know not to touch anything that came from outside the island.

More details and the family of Chau "forgave" the Sentalese at the link and at another website he apparently had been there 5 times and even interacted with them.
From the linked one:
[quote]He'd been in the islands before, to this particular island... there were three or four visits on that day, and what happened was on the first visit he was turned back by arrows; the second visit, he came with two big fish as a gift. My understanding was the men accepted the gift; they sat together for an hour; he said they were menacing and they actually shot him. He went back to the boat, and then gradually went back a third time. That's when the fishermen who were looking through binoculars saw that they'd killed him and were taking him apart.
This is similar to what happened back in the 1991. The men that came to the island brought them coconuts, they accepted the gifts (didn't even bring their weapons) but then told them or rather signaled to them that they should leave. In this scenario, they accepted Chau's fish, tried to tell him to leave but instead he tried to go back to them and they killed him. It appears they were nice to him at least once but he couldn't take the hint and kept on trying.

The exclusion zone is important to protect fishing as a key food source.
It's sad to think periodic stories like this might inevitably further heighten moronic interest to get closer and thereby further threaten the Sentilese in their right to self determination.

That is what I've read. The first people to ever go deep enough into the island to see their (empty) dwellings were accompanied by Andaman (Onge) guides. Of course they also kidnapped a 6 members of their tribe. However, they also learned that whatever language the Sentinelese speak is vastly different from their former "relatives."
[quote]I suppose they don’t have written language, only spoken.
This part is very tricky. The only person that was allowed to spend time with them (although briefly before they made him go) was Trilokinath Pandit who led an expedition in 1991 so everything we know about them is based upon his observations.
From him we know they do have fire. They can't make fire but they do have it. He guessed they wait for lighting strikes, find something burning and keep it going as long as possible. According to him, apparently every hut has a fire going.
However, early explorers to the Andaman islands, when passing by their island, remarked that they only knew the island had people on it because there were areas where they could see lights. This was back when they lived along the coast, before they slowly began to move inward so who knows what they're doing.
The same applies to the idea of a written language. They think they don't have one because Trilokinath Pandit didn't see evidence of it in 1991 but for all we know they could be drawing pictures in caves with mud. It's not like he got to live with them and explore.
You could ask a teen today what that little pocket in their jeans is for. Some might guess that it's for change. The truth is, it was for pocket watches. The same applies here, what we know, is mostly based on the guess work of one person.
So we don't think they have a written language, based upon the observations he made,

Just as you have the right to kick anyone out of your house that overstays their welcome they continually keep doing the same thing but saying that they're hostile to everyone just isn't true. Not being hostile, based upon your definition, is allowing people to explore their island and go and do whatever they want.

In 1588 the Spanish built a huge armada to invade England. This armada suffered a reverse in an early battle with the English, but was still largely intact when it was beset by a huge storm, scattered and largely destroyed.
Some of the ships ended up shipwrecked on the Irish coast. Now, the Irish has every reason to welcome and help the Spanish sailors and soldiers who washed up on the coast — like the Spanish, they were Catholics, and were determined foes of the English crown. So did the Irish welcome them and settle them in the villages, as Irish tales tell, the origin of the “Black Irish?” Most historians think not.

You can't talk out of your ass here without being slapped down and owned. Australian aborigines originate in Africa. DNA proved this about 12 years ago. Maybe longer than that. These people are African. They share genotype, phenotype with Africans. Hey, maybe that's why they look African. They're not SE asian. They're black. Some Africans kept on the adventure into SE asia following that land bridge before it sunk under the water. Not these people.
I'm going to have to post this again. The clue is in dental structure. It's been established. Some Africans made it to SE Asia, mixed with Asians and then they continued on to Hokkaido, Japan and mixed with the Ainu. So the island of Japan is not a genetically homogenous asian region like mainland China. Japan has a history of many races mixed as one early on. That's their secret weapon to greatness. Ditto the US.
May I remind you that advanced hair straightening techniques come out of Brazil and Japan. Brazil is obvious with their african population but Japan, why would asians perfect hair straightening of all things? Same reason. African DNA is in there so the hair texture reflects an unruly, frizzy bent. It didn't come out of thin air. A reason for everything.

[quote]You can't talk out of your ass here without being slapped down and owned. Australian aborigines originate in Africa. DNA proved this about 12 years ago. Maybe longer than that. These people are African. They share genotype
It's funny how the one reference you use in your post - a map about sinodonty - has nothing to do with the (truly laughable) argument you make.
I will ignore the fact that 12 years is basically an era ago when it comes to the study of population genetics.
The fact is that there's NEVER been a study using genetic markers from 12 years ago or any other date that shows that Australians are closely related to Black Africans.
Even studies from the 1990s shows that Australian Aboriginals, and Melanesians in general, are more related to South and East Asians than to any other group of people. And this is even more true of Negrito populations in Southeast Asia.
Take Cavalli-Sforza's book, "The History and Geography of Human genes". Even though it was published in 1994, it, too, found what all modern studies on the subjects have - that Aboriginal Australians are Eurasians and, more specifically, EAST Eurasians.
In page 75, there's a table showing the genetic distances between 42 different populations from all over the globe. Here are some of the genetic distances of Aboriginal Australians with other world populations (the bigger the number, the more genetically distant, ie, the less related they are):
BLACK AFRICANS:
- Bantu: 3272
- East African: 2131
- West African: 2694
EUROPEANS:
- Danish: 1400
- English: 1534
- Greek: 1498
SOUTH/SOUTHEAST ASIANS:
- Filipino: 1300
- Indian: 1176
- Malaysian: 1665
NATIVE AMERICANS:
- Eskimo: 1360
- North Amerindian: 1264
- South Amerindian: 1563
EAST ASIANS:
- Japanese: 821
- Korean: 850
- Mongol Tungus: 781
In other words, out of all world regions, the closest genetically to Aboriginal Australians in this study is East Asia. The most distant is precisely Africa, as would be expected of any Eurasian population. Even blond populations like the Danish and the English are closer cousins to this "Black" population than are Sub-Saharan Africans. Now, this book is rather old and better markers for this kind of analysis exist today. But the pattern found is the same as in modern studies.
The genetic distances table below comes from a 2014 study, "Genome-wide genotype and sequence-based reconstruction of the 140,000 year history of modern human ancestry". As you can see, the closest relatives to the Melanesian component - which represents the ancestry of Papuans and Aboriginal Australians - are East Asian components, and the most distant, all with distances above .200, are all in Africa (Click-Speaker, Niger-Congo, etc.). Exactly as Cavalli-Sforza had shown 20 years before.

Aborigines are still part black African. The documentary and study also located a man related to all of us. Believe he was in Afghanistan. An australoid is a mix but have negrito DNA from Africa and I never said otherwise. The aborigines didn't want hear it but it proved to be true.

r221 No, they aren't, you silly idiot.
I've been following human population genetics studies since my early teens and I've discussed with many people who share that interest. And let me tell you this, you'd become a meme, a laughing stock, in those milieux with these arguments.
Neither the Japanese nor Aboriginals are part African. The only link those peoples have with Africa is the fact that, like all human groups, their ancestors came from Africa hundreds of thousands of years ago. This is true of everyone, from blue-eyed Danes to the remotest tribe in the Amazon.
There's no other link with Africa. No, other.
As you can see in the image at r220 (on which you're yet to comment), even Northern Europeans, for all of their paleness and blondness, are genetically closer to Africans than dark-skinned Melanesians or the Japanese. This is because, as any amateur reader of population genetics knows, phenotype is an unreliable indicator of genetic relationships. Melanesians are genetically THE MOST distant population from Africa, which fits well with the theory that they were one of the earliest human populations to become genetically distinct from the humans who first LEFT Africa.
And if you have a shred of evidence on your side, bring me a study supporting the claim you're making now - that the Japanese and the Australians have African admixture. You won't find any, because this is a blatantly laughable theory.
by Anonymous | reply 223 | November 25, 2018 5:13 AM |
These findings suggest that modern Aboriginal peoples are the direct descendants of migrants who left Africa up to 75,000 years ago. This finding is compatible with earlier archaeological finds of human remains near Lake Mungo that date to approximately 40,000 years ago.-

You're the ignorant, uneducated person who dabbles from time to time.
-Returning to the discussion about Aboriginal ancestry, DNA of a hair sample from an Aboriginal man living in the 1920’s are being compared with genes of other ancient races, and there are at least four theories still being contended. Though all agree that the Aborigines migrated from Africa, split from the main group of migrants and travelled onwards through Eurasia and then downwards until they came to Australia."

While the total population in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands has soared from 30,971 in 1951 to about 400,000, the number of indigenous people (excluding the Sentinelese) in the Andamans has sharply dwindled from a conservatively estimated 4,800 in 1858 to about 674. Now they are on the verge of extinction and fall under the category of the Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs).
The history of outsiders’ relations with the indigenous people of the Andamans has a clear pattern – colonisation, exploitation and eventual extermination. If we are to learn anything from our past, it is that the Sentinelese should be left alone on North Sentinel Island.
