[QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [QB] [QUOTE] The great diversity of aboriginal African hair as alway interest me. Straight hair is just as african as kinky/curly hair although its make up less of the majority of african hair types. Why are Africans and black people in "general" continue to view straighter hair as some sort of non-African admixture?[/QUOTE]Indeed this claim has no basis in biology and there is emperical evidence to refute it. [IMG]http://www.australianbedandbreakfast.com.au/northern-territory-bandb/gallery/images/aboriginal-tiwi-islands.jpg[/IMG] ^ Australian aboriginal phenotype precede the existence of Europeans or even -northern- Asians, they are descendant from peoples migrated from supra-equatorial Africa, across to southern Asian and Australia. This implies that both wavy hair, and more to the point, the penchant for variable hair texture is pan homo-sapien trait, present in Africans prior to outmigration of non-Africans. Genetics has also failed to reveal, any -recent- gene mutations that would account for particular hair texture. This is in contrast with skin color, where genetics can document both the original melanoderm [black] pigmentation of all humans, and the recent genetic mutation that cause extreme de-pigmentation [leucoderm], in whites. Genetics has made it clear that white people are not the primary 'cause' of phenotypical variation. They are late derived in a) geography as Europe was settled only long after australia, pacifica, and asia. b) morphology, as white skin mutations became common in Europe's population as little as 12kya. c) Geneology, R1b and I are the primary European paternal lineages have limited distribution outside of Europe.
