Whats need is there to addres admixture dummy, they're talking about body builds which has nothing to do with mixture you dummy. The elongated build in East´Africans is unique to East Africans adapted to their environment. As the passage states:

"[b]One way of presenting a maximum amount of surface area to the air is to stretch a given mass into an elongated shape, and certainly the immensely tall East Africans of the Upper Nile area are about as linear and elongated as people get"

Their elongated body build has nothing to do with mixture. Mixture has been addressed by an anthropologist and this is what was said:

AMERICAN JOURNAL OF HUMAN BIOLOGY 16:679–689 (2004)

"As noted, the interindividual African variability is perhaps greater when the degree and range of variation is considered compared with that of the Europeans. The Nile Valley and Horn groups show the great est overlap with the other regions. This could mean that the northeast quadrant African patterns are more generalized (or that others are more specialized), and/or are more recent hybrids, or simply more variable, but none of these ideas can be definitively supported by this phenetic analysis. The overall results are generally consistent with findings of high African diversity, which in the main can now be considered to be primarily of indigenous African biohistorical origin, without denying some immigration with gene flow from various areas, especially southwest Asia."

Unless you wish to say that East Africans were originally stereotypical True Negroes who mixed with West Asians and changed throughtout time, you have no argument.

East Africans are *NOT* uniformly mixed the same way. Somalis and Oromos are minimally mixed while Amharas are sunstanially mixed, but show no tendency to look more 'Eurasian' than Oromos nor Somalis. So what is your point retard?

irrespective of "elongated morphology".

The elongated linear build is unique to East Africans so it is a factor, are you going to say East Africans acquired 'Caucasoid' noses and lips and nothing happened to the body?

"A quick glance at Figures 4a and 4b will show that the relatively shortest noses occurs only in the tropics, and observation confirms the fact that the nasal bridges of the peoples in question are low as well as being short. At first it seems as though no consistent sense could be made from such an observation since such people as the inhabitants of East Africa right on the equator have aappreciably longer, narrower, and higher noses than people in the Congo at the same latitude. A former generation of anthropologists used to explain this paradox by invoking an invasion by an itinerant "white" population from the Mediterranean area, although this solution raised more problems than it solved since the East Africans in question include some of the blackest people in the world with characteristically wooly hair and a body build unique among the world's populations for its extreme linearity and height."

p.138

"The relatively long noses of east Africa become explicable then when one realizes that much of the area is extremely dry for parts of the year."

You still think mixture wasn't taken into consideration? So please identify those cranial traits that signify 'Eurasian mixture' Erroneous E.

Stupid idiot, Howell's *NEVER* stated that 'prehistoric East Africans possesed Eurasian affinities so quit distorting his words. I have his book and he lists the populations closest to each sample and none were Eurasian. Is lying the best you could do?

Yes, I do. The passage addresses the question of Caucasoid admixture, but doesn't investigate the possibility that the "blackest" skin and "wooly hair" found in East Africans today are a product of Negroid admixture (as well as recent tropical adaptation) superimposed on an indigenous, non-Negroid East African population that once more closely resembled Eurasians than Sub-Saharan Africans (and still carries certain Eurasian-like traits)

* Yawn *

Of course, one of the populations he lists is Europeans.

And we've already been over my use of "Eurasian" . . .

According to Howells, it means they resemble "such more generalized populations as Peru, Guam, or Ainu, but also Europeans or even Easter Island". I myself use the shorter term "Eurasian" to avoid having to list all of those different groups every time I'm forced to repeat the information to you dense Afronuts.
