Melanesian=Black Islanders. The Melanesians were/are Negritos.

This is all good, but how does it explain the fact that the language of the Maori is not particulalry related to either Melanesian or Taiwanese languages, but is a virtual clone of Tahahitian and very close to Hawaiian. Maori language is without a doubt Polynesian.

As are the Maori themselves. They are physically Polynesian, not Melanesian. Maoris look nothing whatever like Melanesians or Taiwanese.

I suspect that there has to be another explanation for these genetic findings. If a scientist comes up with findings that are obviously false, or that deny the reality of other observable facts, then that scientist really needs to go back and do some more work.

I did a search on Kulabob And Manup (Cain And Abel) and here is what I got. Can you translate Vietnamese?

[MoJo2001]

The Maori are indeed Polynesian. There has never been any doubt among the Polynesian people regarding this issue. Now there is an issue among Polynesians about Fiji. Half of my Polynesian family consider them Melanesian and the other half consider them Polynesian. Me? They aren't American. So? This American of Samoan heritage gives little care about such issues. Hehe!

Read this excellent book. It could/will clear up things a bit.

See my post #5. Have you ever heard about two brothers named Kulabob and Manup?

The male and female ancestors of today’s Maori people of New Zealand originated from different parts of the world, molecular biologists have said.

Did you catch the Yahoo science article this AM promising genetic prooof that the earliest people in America were Melanesian by way of Taiwan, Japan and around some 10,000 BCE? Fits nicely with this.

This One? See My Post # 12.

Did The First Americans Come From, er Australia?

Let me guess....
The men are from Mars and the women are from Venus! The two world theory proved conclusively again through our undying heroes, the beaker busters. Since when did observable facts get in their way about any finding?

[noodler]

Interesting there was not an equal tranfer the other way.Hard to do when you're dead.The weak are supposed to inherit the earth.Different ways of looking at that.

[noodler]

Dope! the Meek will inherit the earth.The weak are but pavement.

Here's a complicated but interesting link.

It doesn't make sense that the women would abandon their men for Melanesians, unless there was a shortage of men. This might be explained if they came under constant attack during their journey...this would have thinned the herd of men out and forced the women to take non tribal mates or remain barren.

[ApplegateRanch]

Dope! the Meek will inherit the earth.The weak are but pavement.

This is a gross misunderstanding of the word 'inherit'.

It really means that the meek ('pavement') will have no inheritance except the ground; i.e., the grave.

They will 'inherit' the earth by being buried in it by the vigorous ('pavers').

IOW, the pavement-pounders will be left in the dust, by the pavers-of-the-ways.

Progress marches on!

[noodler]

Never heard it explained that way. Is this Baptist understanding? Meek and weak would then have the same fate.I would like you to explain this to me either here or on a new post.Ping and I'll listen.
