SO Igbo's get their hairy chest from pygmies? And they have hereditary Albino traits?

No. I'm saying it could be a throwback to older Africans types,the pygmies was just a example. I'm also suggesting the usual ligh skin with light eyes and or light colored hair maybe a hint of albinism or a variation of it.
Kingsley Ibenchi is a Nigerian American,who I believe is a dance with a mixed race like phenotype despite have parents that are way darker than him and his brother.
do you have a link that shows or says his have parents that are way darker than him and his brother?

You have to go to his IG,there are separate pictures of his dad and mom. His parents are darker than him and his brother.
If you do go,there is a gif type video of a lady with pink color hat, that's his mother. Scrolling down more,there is a image of a old looking photo of a man, that's Kinglesy's father.

I don't see it outside the nose. Though not that close, Saido looks similar to Floyd Mayweather Sr. to me.

Looked up Floyd Mayweather Sr. and that is a nope for me. I think what Van has that Saidou has is face structure albeit slightly different as Van is a much larger man

I am not sure, but Peul for sure... Niger I believe..
It is really easy for me to pick out Fulani matches for African Americans, because their features are distinct
Flloyd Mayweather Sr. I think he looks like Mike Tyson and some one said that Mike looks Congolese.. so I am going to see if I can follow that route for matches..
It has always interested me that African Americans have such diverse features but the truth is they come in houses... and it has nothing to do with Eurasian admixture... I think African features are persistant even with admixture...
I think before the internet I was led to believe there was on type of west african ( true negro) and all the different looks that African Americans had was because of admixture with Whites & Native Americans.. I think while it is true in some cases it is not true in most

Frederick Douglass and the Power of Portraiture Frederick Douglass regarded photography as a powerful tool to combat racism. He heralded it as a distinctly accessible art form that, in the hands of the aggrieved and historically marginalized, could serve as an arm of democratization. In “Pictures and Progress” Douglass remarked: “The humbled servant girl whose income is but a few shillings per week may now possess a more perfect likeness of herself than noble ladies and court royalty.” For African Americans in particular, photography provided a means of self-representation and self-empowerment, and for subverting the racist imagery and minstrelized caricatures that dominated contemporary popular culture. Through portraiture, Black people could correct prevailing misrepresentations, counter racist discourses, and assert their self-image on their terms. Douglass believed in the medium’s capacity to provide an honest and accurate representation of his own personhood and individuality—not only as a former slave but as a human.

In the second breakdown of “Ethnic groups 1” it’s notable how only the Caribbean and the USA score any % for Fulbe/Mende, the Fulbe samples being taken from Burkina Faso, Cameroon and Chad and the Mende from Sierra Leone. In the third breakdown of “Ethnic groups 2” it’s fascinating how the Senegalese ethnic groups of the Lebou and Wolof are only appearing for Cape Verde, Săo Tomé, Brazil and Colombia. The USA is however unique in being matched up with the Fulbe from Cameroon, Niger and Burkina Faso.

quote:The frequency of the SLC24A5 111*A allele outside of Europe is largely accounted for by high frequencies in geographically proximate populations in northern Africa, the Middle East, and Pakistan (ranging from 62% to 100%).
The virtual absence of MATP 374*G–derived allele in the sub-Saharan African populations that we examined in the CEPH-Diversity Panel is consistent with the origin of this mutation outside of Africa after the divergence of modern Asians and Europeans. In contrast, the SLC24A5 111*A–derived allele is found at low frequencies in several sub-Saharan populations including the West African Mandenka and Yoruba, the Southern African San , and SouthWest Bantu. The relatively high frequencies of the derived allele in Central Asian, Middle Eastern, and North Africa seem likely to be due to gene flow with European populations. Similarly, the presence of the derived allele (albeit at low frequencies) in some sub-Saharan African populations may be due to recent gene flow from European and Central Asian populations.

Yes I know, I did not make the picture. The date is of his Presidency is besides the point but apologies if it offends.

You know some AA's just are not easy to find twins for, whether that is due to admixture or not, I dont think I can say for sure, but for these women, I think I see some resemblance among the Sonninke

West African phenotype diversity is really misunderstood.
I love this.. it shows that the sahel is a spectrum from east to west and not clearly delineated. Types found in east africa can be found in west africa and vice versa
