[QUOTE]Originally posted by Alive-(What Box): [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by osirion: [qb] Very interesting trolling by the regulars.[/qb][/QUOTE]Trolling? And you turn around and post an un cited paragraph? As far as thin lips go, [b]anyone[/b] who as been to or seen a number of Africans (even if limitied to South of the Sahara) can attest to the fact that Africans have thin lips as well as thick. This person is an obvious lay person. [b]Human skin color diversity is highest in sub-Saharan African populations.[/b] Relethford JH. Department of Anthropology, State University of New York College at Oneonta, 13820, USA. [i]"Previous studies of genetic and craniometric traits have found higher levels of within-population diversity in sub-Saharan Africa compared to other geographic regions. This study examines regional differences in within-population diversity of human skin color. Published data on skin reflectance were collected for 98 male samples from eight geographic regions: sub-Saharan Africa, North Africa, Europe, West Asia, Southwest Asia, South Asia, Australasia, and the New World. Regional differences in local within-population diversity were examined using two measures of variability: the sample variance and the sample coefficient of variation. For both measures, [b]the average level of within-population diversity is higher in sub-Saharan Africa than in other geographic regions.[/b] This difference persists even after adjusting for a correlation between within-population diversity and distance from the equator. [b]Though affected by natural selection, skin color variation shows the same pattern of higher African diversity[/b] as found with other traits.[/i]" Jean Hiernaux "The People of Africa" 1975 p.53, 54 [i]"In sub-Saharan Africa, many anthropological characters show a wide range of population means or frequencies. In some of them, the whole world range is covered in the sub-continent. [b]Here live the shortest and the tallest human populations, the one with the highest and the one with the lowest nose, the one with the thickest and the one with the thinnest lips in the world.[/b]"[/i] That's not all, pay attention to this next part folks ... [i]"In this area, [b]the range of the average nose widths covers 92 per cent of the world range: only a narrow range of extremely low means are absent from the African record. Means for head diameters cover about 80 per cent of the world range; 60 per cent is the corresponding value for a variable once cherished by physical anthropologists, the cephalic index[/b], or ratio of the head width to head length expressed as a percentage....."[/i] Wouldn't know about that hair allegation though ..
