"Tropical" and "desert" are not mutually exclusive. "Tropical" refers either to specific latitudes or a lack of temperature fluctuation throughout the year, whereas "desert" refers simply to low rainfall and has nothing to do with latitude or temperature. There are deserts within the tropics.
Somalis in particular are known to resemble the Nordics. The early ancient egyptians were known to have "super-negroid" plans like modern day West Africans. Most East Africans fit into the "Aethiopid" sub race of Africa rather than the "Negroid" type.
Take that **** somewhere else, nobodies paying attention to the outdated, debunked, and eurocentric views you just posted above.
^^lol... The Ethiopian and East african data show minimal clustering with Europeans or Middle easterners. So even if we take the bogus "aethiopid" "race' said bogus "aeithopids" would STILL cluster overwhelmingly with other Africans... lol
Doc, do we have any other studies of the Dogon out there, whether DNA, cranial, skeletal or what have you?

All previous studies show the Dogon to be predominantly more related to more West/Central and Sudanic groups more than any other African population. Not only do they possess E3a at moderate levels, they carry some unique very ancient and possibly "ancestral Saharan" lineages.
"E1a (M33) is found most often in West Africa, and today it is especially common in the region of Mali. One study has found haplogroup E1a-M33 Y-chromosomes in as much as 34% (15/44) of a sample of Malian men, including 2/44 E1a1-M44 and 13/44 E1a-M33/M132(xE1a1-M44). In particular, the Dogon people of Mali have been found to carry haplogroup E1a-M33 with a frequency as high as 45.5% (25/55), making it the most common Y-DNA haplogroup in this population. Another study has found haplogroup E1a-M33 in 15.6% (44/282) of a pool of seven samples of various ethnic groups in Guinea-Bissau. Haplogroup E1a also has been found in samples obtained from Moroccan Berbers, Sahrawis, Burkina Faso (including E1a-M33/M132(xE1a1-M44) in 2/20 = 10% Fulbe and 2/37 = 5.4% Rimaibe), northern Cameroon (including E1a1-M44 in 9/17 = 53% Fulbe and E1a-M33/M132(xE1a1-M44) in 3/15 = 20% Tali), Senegal (7/139 = 5.0%), Ghana (1/29 = 3% Ga, 1/32 = 3% Fante), Sudan (including 5/32 = 15.6% Hausa and 3/26 = 11.5% Fulani), Egypt, Calabria (including both Italian and Albanian inhabitants of the region), Italians from the province of Trento in northeastern Italy, and Romanians from Constanţa."
It's found in 54% of the Fulani in Cameroon. It's seems to be restricted to predominantly Sahelian/Southern Saharan groups. Even in the Sudan, among the Hausa at around 20%.
That's about it in regard to the Dogon. Other than the fact that they are Niger-Kordofanian.

Osiron says: On another subject, Nubians do not correlate with Ancient Egyptians in terms of phenotype; at least not as much as Somali/Oromo people at least not according to Egyptians or according to what I see of the the Nuba.
You make these sweeping assertions, without, as usual, anything to back up what you "see." Do you have anything credible to back up your above statement, or is this just another one of your "thoughts"?
The fact is that Nubians and Egyptians "correlate" in terms of phenotype, and the Nubians are ethnically the closest people to the Egyptians, as already shown ad infinitum on this forum. Denying the scientific reality won't change the facts on the ground.
