Squating man tatoo

Seen in a youtube video, Berber woman with squatting man tatoo below lip:

Nice find, a classic squatter man! at around 4:31 on the video.

Passed down for millenia. Highly unlikely that present day Berbers have any idea what the symbol represents.

The Ganymede Hypothesis posits that there are two basic human groups (or atleast two) and that the difference has nothing to do with anything youć call race or color. The two groups are basically Adamite (the prople of Genesis and their descendants) and pre-Adamite (Cro Magnon man and his descendants). Other than for the question of RH- blood, the two are genetically all but the same, but the original cultures and technologies were totally different due to the gigantic expanse of time between the two saltations. Either group appears capable of producing any color or feature seen in humans.

There is no relationship between humans and hominids other than for similar design. No human is descended from hominids in any way and there is no credible evidence of humans ever interbreeding with hominids.

An unwarranted sense of cultural superiority works just as well as racism per se*. Ted's comment was needless as most people in any country are unaware of the proposed link.

The squatter man/plasma equation is evidence not cast-iron proof, the knowledge of which gives one some sort of intellectual kudos.

Nick, I had a look at the link but I don't take any notice of anything to do with DNA. I've been watching them coming out with rubbish for 30 years. Too many different peoples have lived in the area in the last couple of thousand years, including the Vandals from E of the Rhine.

*Something from which the UK is not immune.

The intent of my statement was this: that there is no reasonable way to think that the girl in the image was thinking "Gee, wouldn't it be cool to get a squatting man tatoo like our ancestors used to draw on canyon walls to commemorate all the weird stuff they used to see in the sky"...

I don't see how a rational person could make that into an accusation of racism or zenophobia.

Tansi,
Good point about what the symbol means to the Berbers and Basques and thanks for the heads up about the Barber and Barber book. Holy swarm of bees, Batman.

There is a growing body of solid evidence , regarding the interbreeding of Humans and Neanderthals. Cro-Magnons have always been considered Homo sapiens and these days Neanderthals are classified as Homo sapiens neanderthalensis as a convenience to distinguish them from so-called "moderns" Homo sapiens sapiens. Biologic taxonomy is by definition a system of convention; but the only reason to dispute human interrelations is for the support of a scripturally twisted OEC dogma regarding the nature of Adam in the context of a local-Iraqian-deluge interpretation of the flood story. And let's not forget that artistic reconstructions are what they are, the poetic visions of the artists. People are of course all welcome to their beliefs, but let's not pretend that the scientific case is conclusive in the favor of tholden's claim!

The real question here about squatter man should be whether he represents the plasma discharge phenomenon claimed by the EU mythologists. Let's not pretend that issue is conclusive either. If a premise is stated as such, rather than as a given set of agreed upon facts, then intelligent learners can decide for themselves how the evidence comes together, rather than being led by the nose by proponents of peculiar pet hypotheses.
