@leavethisbotnet
Or just pretty black women get snatched up by loser foreigners

Perhaps I don't understand it much because I just don't personally find black women attractive.

Not a hate thing, I just don't.

What if you had no better choice?

As in, only African-descended women left?

Then he'd be an incel

I'd evidently have to.

@fvriovs *disgusting*

Although depending on how many males there are it may be futile.

You could become a prised too, you don't have to.

It's status and money that Chinese care about (blanket generalisation) that's why I am scratching my head on what's in it for them. Neutralisation?

When a population drops below a few hundred the genetic diversity in the individuals becomes too slow to sustain a population for long.

Well, women always tend to marry *up*.

Even in monogamy.

The money and status of a woman is far less important.

depends, are they solidly african or are they african americans with shitloads of white thrown in about the generations

You can fuck a poor peasant just as you would fuck a rich girl.

Not in the Chinese culture I think. Hence why so many pre arrangements

Like India

Hmm, well arrangements would usually deal with the bride's family's wealth I imagine.

afaik some geneticist did research on this, regarding interstellar colonization and he came up with a number around 100, to be genetically sustainable.

I know a lot of cultures have variants on dowry or bride-price.

How many Cows?

It'd have to be reasonably small @leavethisbotnet.

Estimates for how many people left Africa to become the ancestors of every non-African person on earth range as few as a thousand.

Of mitochondrial haplogroup L3.

The genetic ancestor to M and N which comprise every non-Sub-Saharan on earth.

Not including back-migration into Africa that is where further interbreeding happened but you get the idea.

What's up with the claim that Africa wasn't the cradle of civilization?

Well, cradle of humanity and cradle of civilisation are two different concepts.

There are bone fragments discovered of the genus *homo* which lie outside Africa and are close in age to or older than those found in Africa.

But there's too few of them compared to the abundance *in* Africa to really assert a different origin point.

Thanks. Very informative.

I can't remember if it deals exclusively with homo sapiens though, we speciated about 350,000 years ago and became behaviourally modern about 60-50,000 years ago but *homo* is a lot older.

Mesopotamia is often regarded as the cradle of civilisation, or the fertile crescent in general which does include Egypt.

Sumer and Egypt are contestants for oldest civilisation but it really depends how you define the word.

@fvriovs you're a *homo*

Dont be a cuck guys

There are the younger dryas catastrophy theories too
