[QUOTE]Originally posted by Super car: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [b]There is no single 'true' African phenotype. Africa has always had a great deal of native physical variety. And there is neither a geographical boundary nor climate-divide between East and West Africa to provide rationale for contrived stereotypes.[/b][/QUOTE] Quite true; sometimes in order to really get a point through, it is best to suppliment history, genetics and linguistics with photographs, that imediately instill the actual images of the people being talked about, in the minds of the potential audience. Those who have actually been to various places in Africa, ought to already be familiar with these variations, but those who only read about Africans, will only get narrow views of Africans, lest they diversify sources of information. Genetics tells a lot about population relationships, but with the power of photography, it gets even better. Just think about how many times now, a point has been made to show the diversity and biological relationships of Africans, and yet, we still get comments along the lines of unsubstantiated stereotypes.
