[QUOTE]Originally posted by King_Scorpion: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [qb] ^ Wally is absolutely correct. The linguistic, anthropological, archaeological and toponymic evidence makes it clear that the majority of West Africans originally lived in the Nile Valley. The linguistic research, especially, makes it clear that the Wolof, Fula, Mande and Bantu speakers speak languages genetically related to ancient Egyptian. Because the ancestors of Afro-Americans spoke these languages we must admit that these people are of Egyptian origin. [/qb][/QUOTE]West Africans came from many places. To say, "the majority of West Africans came from the Nile Valley" is erronous and false. Maybe if you have Dogon ancestors you can make that argument more strongly. I mean, I'm not saying there aren't tribes in West Africa like the Dogon that may share some ancestral history with the Nile Valley...but to make it seem like ALL of the tribes of this region ALL migrated from Egypt at some point in history is laughable at best. The DNA evidence doesn't support this, nor does the linguistic or cultural. Case in point, the Tuareg have history with many regions in Africa including East, North, and West Africa. It's much more complex than you make it seem. [/QB][/QUOTE]
