[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mystery Solver: [QB] ^Also consider this: [QUOTE]Originally posted by Mystery Solver: Also, not all the so-called 'elongated people' of what he dubs 'East Africa' are 'intermediate' in skin color; [b]some non-Nilotic speaking groups there actually do approach the dark hue seen amongst certain Nilotic-speaking groups.[/b] Moreover, 'Nilotes' too are largely east Africans - just to name yet another one of those few things wrong about Hiernaux's [b]1975[/b] presentation. I think I know the rationale behind doing so, but that doesn't make it right anyway...[/QUOTE]^Notwithstanding, Hiernaux also says this... Recap: [i]"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 [b]since such people as the inhabitants of East Africa right on the equator have appreciably longer, narrower, and higher noses than people in the Congo at the same latitude[/b]. 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 [b]more problems[/b] than it solved since the East Africans in question [b]***include some of the blackest people in the world***[/b] with characteristically wooly hair and a [b]body build unique among the world's populations for its extreme linearity and height.[/b]"[/i] - Hiernaux, 1975. And in reference to the aforementioned skeletal remains found in East Africa, it is worth repeating Hiernaux on: [i]"There is every reason to believe that they are [b]ancestral to the living 'Elongated East Africans'[/b]. [b]Neither[/b] of these populations, [b]fossil and modern[/b], should be considered to be [b]closely related to Caucasoids of Europe and western Asia[/b], as they usually are in lierature."[/i] - Hiernaux, 1975.
