Asian people first originated from AFRICA? is this true?

Question by : Asian people first originated from AFRICA? is this true?
I read somewhere that Asians first originated in Africa:

“In Cavalli-Sforza’s genetic clustering work (1988) South Chinese join Southeast Asians in genetic clustering while the North Chinese associate with Koreans, Japanese, Ainu, Bhutanese and Tibetans in genetic clustering. Other Southeast Asians include Malaysian, Viet Muong, Thai, Western Indonesian and Philippine.

Xiao and Cavalli-Sforza (2000) find the boundary between Northern and Southern Mongoloids to approximate the Yangtze River, and suggest that their ancestors arrived from Africa via separate routes. Principal component analysis of gene frequencies of Chinese populations

Other scientists have suggested that the finding of sharp genetic differences between North and South China is an artifact of using an insufficient number of samples. However, Xiao and Cavalli-Sforza (2000) has a larger number of samples than previous studies.”

It says that they originated from a part of Africa, if this is true, Black people are our long lost brothers and sisters?

I need help planning a trip to China?

Question by jamescroc: I need help planning a trip to China?
Hello,

I am trying to plan a trip to China. I am currently a US citizen living in Georgia. I plan on going alone to China and basically want to backpack to several places including Beijing, the Yangtze river, and Shanghai. I am having trouble finding out how to obtain a visa since there is no Chinese embassy near me and I would also like to know how difficult it is to get a hotel room. I would rather not book them in advance so that I’m not stuck to a strict time schedule. Should them book in advance or can I play it by ear when I arrive? Any advice is appreciated.
I am planning on staying through late May/early April.

Best answer:

Answer by rolly
Late May or early April is a great time to visit China, by travelling in spring you avoid the bitterly cold winter and super humid summer. Getting a hotel shouldn’t be tricky during that time, and I don’t think booking ahead will be overly necessary. Just avoid May 1st to May 7th, the week long May Day national holiday is super hectic, and finding any hotel rooms will be tricky country wide.
In Australia (I’m not sure about the USA), as long as you have a return ticket booked, most travel agents can obtain a 1 month tourist visa without any difficulty. I loved back-packing around China! Go for it mate! You’ll have a ball!

THE BIGGEST CONUNDRUM IN HUMAN HISTORY (1 of 2)?

Question by : THE BIGGEST CONUNDRUM IN HUMAN HISTORY (1 of 2)?
THE BIGGEST CONUNDRUM IN HUMAN HISTORY

Of the Japanese Imperial Army (hereinafter JIA), a Japanese soldier who carried only one Japanese sword but was able to kill more than one hundred people although he loaded with an exuberant extra swords with himself, who was also a walking lethal weapon carrying only a Japanese sword and a single-action gun but was able to massacre over 800,000 citizens in China, which we can say “more lethal than even A-bomb.” They had plenty of arms and ammunition, plenty enough not to need them to think twice of pointlessly killing hundreds of thousands of local people in its colonies who could have brought more money and product to Japan and the Japanese people.
They coerced 3,200,000 Chinese people to work for Japan. Of all of them, 1,000,000 people was died, and 10,000 people were buried alive for confidentiality reasons. Even in such a harsh condition, thanks to its incredible generalship, they were able to control rebellion.
They built a total of 19 fortresses, of them those on the ground stretched over 4,700 km and those on the underground stretched over 1,700km and they had been able to hide them for over 60 years without no one noticing thanks to its unbelievable capability of controlling information.
They had an impeccable ordering system to convince people in Okinawa to commit suicidal attack on the U.S. soldiers. They had fantastic capability to hide every unfavorable information for Japan such as the time when and how they killed people, how the state of mind of the JIA soldiers was. They were perverted and visionary enough to decide sending a countless Japanese comfort women to Indonesia even when it was ruled by the Netherlands not by Japan.

They also had a advanced civil engineering technology to make it possible to narrow the width of the Yangtze River to less than 2m and had a capability of killing 300,000 people of the Nanking city, China, where 200,000 people lived at that time, who had an enough leverage to sweep up away all those dead bodies of 300,000 victims by only one truck in an astonishingly short period: in two weeks, who had many so-called comfort women surpassing the number of that of the JIA soldiers, who were well fed to maintain enough physical strength to intercourse with over a couple of dozen comfort women per day without loosing a humor to do GANSYA or spraying his sperms on woman’s face even though the concept of it didn’t get any familiar among the Japanese people until recently, who in Korea had plenty of time to kill so they broke into not only cultural facilities but every house and searched and burned books of any kind such as dictionaries, even Korean’s traditional recipe books, who come to Korea not because they were going to colonize the country but because they came in to incorporate Korea peacefully in order to protect Korea, in this sense these Japanese people were mere strangers in Korea, nevertheless Japanese people had profound knowledge on Chinese feng shui, which was not familiar in Japan though, and ambition to use it for weakening Korea by building iron piles, copper piles and such on the top of mountains for some reason, who were skilled enough at alchemy to produce aviation fuel out of human fat, who were trained enough to cloak his own shadow to avoid being found, who invented a magical machine gun that was able to kill people without bleeding around, who had abundant money and resources to allow them to consume it not for seizing Korea’s exquisite buildings, cities, and railways, instead they destroyed all of them and replaced them with poor and unsophisticated buildings by the Japanese technology consuming tons of their money and resources, who had abundant supply of oil to allow shuttling a half of the population in the Korean Peninsula to Japan back and forth, who occupied two-third of the vast mainland of China, which has 9.6 million km2 area in it, who burned down over 1,7000 villages throughout China by torching them in just 6 years, who were so cruel to be able to think of up to 250 types of murdering method, who had expendable tons of gasoline to set fire to over 50,000,000 innocent Chinese civilians and killed them for unknown reasons, who destroyed everything in China,

ebay listing removed after i bought it and received shipping confirmation?

Question by : ebay listing removed after i bought it and received shipping confirmation?
i purchased and paid for an item right before i went on a week long cruise, and when i got back from the cruise i had a message from ebay saying that they removed the listing because of suspected copyright infringement or something. the message said not to pay for the item and i was like uh it’s a little late for that considering i bought it a week ago…

but anyway, i opened a case like ebay instructed me to do, and none of the case options really applied to what happened to me..i just picked ‘i bought an item and i haven’t received it yet’ because that’s what ebay said to do.

so then, i get confirmation from ebay that the case is open. the next day, i get a message saying the seller has provided shipping information. i got a message that said ‘hi, i sent the item and here is the tracking number. please believe i am an honest seller, the item should arrive from china in 11-22 days.”

i verified the tracking number on the postal service website and the item had, in fact, shipped.

what should i do? should i wait for the item to get here and then ask for a refund? i mean, it’s on its way..i’m just very confused ):

Answer by RahRahRah
I’d cancel the dispute once I receive the item.

Q&A: If you were on a sinking ship?

Question by Sam-I-Am: If you were on a sinking ship?
What would be the one thing you’d carry around with you in constant fear?

I had this wacked dream this morning that I was on this holiday cruise with all my friends, the daily activities included bull riding in the sea and tea partys with fancy china.

One of the bulls got out the water and was hella mad, he ran around knocking into people and walls etc, everyone was gathered in this massive room, the the ship began filling with water and thick mud.

So began our quest to escape, only I couldnt concentrate because I was clutching a polka dot china cup under my arm.

Very weird. If only I was more resourceful, I should try Lucid Dreaming.

Criticism on these brief essays on something that made this school stand out for me and something that i have ?

Question by ortiz: Criticism on these brief essays on something that made this school stand out for me and something that i have ?
I have ascended to heaven and have found it blissfully sweet. Such astounding inspiring, defining, and life changing was the time I spent at the Governor’s Honors program this past summer that only those words and that comparison can do it justice. The Governor’s Honors Program is designed to house the most talented, motivated, and academically gifted students of the Georgia and allow them to do what they do best. All the while creating an ideal enviorment for camaraderie. Yes the course work was indeed challenging , but because it was something I am deeply interested about (social studies) I had no problem with th work. I would not learn anywhere else that a serial killer is a product of severe neglect issues or that some a re just born that way. It is eerie yet fascinating at the same time to know that we have that knowledge at our disposal. The same could be said about a dam. It is hard to just take a day and ponder about a dam unless you are an engineer or someone that works with dams on a day to day basis. Yet the construction of a dam has huge implications and is a major decision that should not be made lightly by anyone. For example the Three Gorges dam in China will be so grand that it will be visible from space and be able to provide the rapidly developing nation of china with a renewable form of energy. At the same time the dam will cause deforestation and waste. The Yangtze river was one of the fastest in the world and that allowed it to push all the toxic material being poured into it out of China, but the dam will slow it down and the waste will be allowed to build up causing huge environmental distress in China. Besides the learning, the program allowed me to connect with people that were just like me. The kids at the program all were highly motivated and will be hugely successful just like I plan to be. It is awe inspiring to sit at a table with a complete group of strangers, that are not at the Governor’s school in the same area you are, and just start discussing politics and leave lunch learning something new. It always astounded me that I could talk about nearly anything and my peers would understand what I was talking about, something which does not happen to often at my high school.

What captured my attention about Emory was your Hispanic recruiter Simona Perales. Last year while attending a Hispanic convention, Si Se Puede, I learned about emory. After getting home,. I researched the institution and saw the demographics and type of students there. Emory has something I have found rare in my college selection process. What makes this institution stand out in my opinion is the people that make it up ,the students. As a graduate of the governor’s Honors program I have had the opportunity to meet like minded, highly motivated individuals. In my mind, Emory University is just like that only about 10 times bigger. I had the best 6 weeks of my life at the governors school and I met people that I am sure will be lifelong friends.

Answer by hardyone@rogers.com
Check spelling mistakes obviously. Need a little better organization on the top one. Ideas are ok. Bottom one is weak. You might want to find out who graduated from there, and is now famous or doing work in the field you like. Then you can say, that you were impressed with the college because of its success in turning out successful people like X Y and Z. you believe that this college will help you achieve your personal goals and perhaps push you to achieve even more than you thought possible.
