We of the Unauthorized Right can take some satisfaction that science is now Unauthorized too:
There is a new article in the New York Times Magazine (Is Ancient DNA Research Revealing New Truths — or Falling Into Old Traps?) , in which some pinhead repeats complaints about David Reich crushing his enemies [archaeologists] , driving them before him, and hearing the lamentations of their women. He doesn’t give them much respect.
They don’t deserve respect. Sure, he has a far more powerful method. Sequencing DNA gives you billions of bits, orders of magnitude more than staring at potsherds. But it is fair to look at how archaeologists did with the tools they had: terrible, horrible, no good, very bad. They really, really wanted to create detailed stories of local social change, stories that didn’t sound like something by Robert E, Howard, full of thud and blunder. Not stories about barbarian conquest, population replacement, and mating with nonhuman races.
But that’s what happened.
The origin of the Polynesian population out in the Pacific is a classic example. Even before ancient DNA was sequenced, we knew that ~94{a4715188bcef061351849819e070f3d0e5c7c3fa185fc1ba3dd549b38dedc378} of Tongan mtDNA was from Taiwan, ~75{a4715188bcef061351849819e070f3d0e5c7c3fa185fc1ba3dd549b38dedc378} of their autosomal DNA was also from Taiwan, while their Y-chromosomes were 65{a4715188bcef061351849819e070f3d0e5c7c3fa185fc1ba3dd549b38dedc378} Melanesian. “Until recently, the dominant model was the slow-boat hypothesis, in which the Taiwanese-derived Lapita culture mixed with Melanesians in New Guinea and the Solomons before sailing out into the deep Pacific. The funny numbers for mtDNA and Y-chromosome were explain by some hand-waving matrifocal cultural bullshit. ”
Ridiculous. Taiwanese were the original settlers, while Melanesians invaded later, conquered, and killed off most of the local men. Confirmed by ancient DNA.
Science vs the SJW Narrative. The Unauthorized Right vs the Authorized Opposition, the Mainstream, and the Converged Left. Truth vs Falsehood. Aristotle vs Plato. Good vs Evil. Jesus Christ vs the prince of this world.
Different battles, same war.
