Whatever, it's always the other guy isn't it.
You are being a dick.

Arguing with you is just no fun at all as you devolve into petty sematinic nuances about what word was said by whom in what post. I could have done a twhitehead on you with your claim that you said "bottleneck" when quite clearly you said no such thing, but I didn't. I hoped that the exchange would develop into something profitable and I might even learn something.
It's just all got a bit boring.

For the last few pages you have been acting utterly confused and wasting both our times because you supposedly couldn't be bothered to actually read my posts. You repeatedly - even after multiple corrections, claimed I said something I didn't then proceeded on that premise to ask nonsensical questions, all the while claiming I was not making sense. Its not about 'semantic nuances', its about simple communication. If you deliberately misconstrue what I say, how are we to communicate?
You did exactly the same thing in the other recent thread where you repeatedly tried to ridicule me based on something you made up, and utterly refused to actually discuss it.
I hoped that the exchange would develop into something profitable and I might even learn something.
I simply don't believe you. I think you deliberately wanted to start an argument because the alternative was to admit you were wrong, something you never do.
It's just all a got a bit boring.
Your usual MO.
If you ever do want an interesting actual conversation, try being less of a dick and try actually reading my posts.
Originally posted by twhiteheadI read all your posts, carefully. I don't read links, hardly ever. And you are the biggest cock in this forum in my opinion, I don't expect you to ever admit you're wrong but about a year ago were being a total knob like this with me and virtually poster in the thread told you so, so I know it's not just me. However if you consistently find me to be the same then why do you repeatedly engage with me. Please feel free to ignore me and my wittering.

I read all your posts, carefully.

So its back to insults is it?

Its odd that you call me the biggest cock on this forum while engaging with me, then wonder why I engage with you. I strongly disagree with almost everyone I engage with on this forum, and many of them are rather unsavoury characters. I am used to people behaving as you do, but that wont stop me pointing it out when you do.

Figures vary, but Wikipedia says that genetic evidence puts the smallest population ever at about 10,000–30,000

You just said that the initial population was 2,000 or 10,000+

No, I did not.

How many "humans" were around from that first population that appeared 200,000 years ago? No one knows.
Originally posted by divegeester
Twhitehead knows.
Originally posted by divegeester
Q. Where did the 10-30k minimal human population come from?
A. Other humans
Originally posted by divegeester
How many humans were there when the species first evolved?
You cited something from wiki saying 2,000 or 10-30k
I asked where did these come from.
You said from other humans?
Originally posted by twhitehead
Once again, I did NOT say that the 10-30k humans were the FIRST population. I said that was the smallest population. The bottleneck.
Originally posted by divegeester
My point is that as home sapien emerged there would have been a very small population - you cite 2000 or 10,000-30000. Not me.

As you can see above, you did NOT read all my posts carefully, or you were just being a dick by deliberately ignoring their contents.
There is no requirement that any species ever have a small population.
There is genetic evidence that humans at one point went through a bottleneck, although when and how small that bottleneck was is disputed. Nevertheless, the population was never small enough that incest would have been necessary.
You are wrong to claim otherwise. Live with it.

1. You read my posts carefully and then lied about them.
2. You didn't read my posts carefully then lied about doing so.
And I suppose admitting that incest was never a requirement and you got that wrong is simply not going to happen.
