[QUOTE]Originally posted by Chimu: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by T. Rex: [QB] It seems a former dissident forumer Chimu, aka Salsassin, has returned. I offer the following challenge to him: 1) Provide evidence that any the first humans in equatorial Africa were lighter than the range of complexions generally called "black", therefore justifying your assertion that we cannot call the first humans "black".[/QUOTE]Generally, y whom? That is the problem. By Eurocentrics? By Afrocentrics? I know KhoiSan that would throw a fit if you called them Black. They see their complexions as red. Again, if A tanned Japanese woman in Tanzania was darker than a population there that lived in that area all their lives, yes, I would say ther are populations that are not dark enough to be called Black. [QUOTE]2) Provide evidence that light-skinned, partially European-descended Maghrebians* are as tropically adapted as dynastic-era Egyptians [/QUOTE]Show me first that all Maghrebians of medium complexion are of partial European descent. Not all Maghrebis are Kabyles. [QUOTE](whose melanin levels have been reported as"Negroid" according to a fairly recent study on mummified remains). You were insisting earlier that Maghrebians had limb ratios similar to those of tropically adapted Africans based on the eyeballing of one photograph of a Maghrebian athlete, but that isn't hard enough data here.[/QUOTE]Feel free to quote the study. I hope you aren't referring to Diop's mythical study. And I didn't have to eyeball. Go look at that forum again. [QUOTE]* BTW, Keita mentions in one of his papers that Egyptian skeletons' limb ratios are closer to those of Africans than southern Europeans. Since southern Europeans are the maternal ancestors of "Caucasoid" Berbers, I think it logical to infer that said Berbers would have more southern European-type skeletons. [/QUOTE]Again, where is your evidence all Maghrebians have substantial European ancestry or that the genetics for short limbs is prevalent in all populations. All other posts in this thread have been answered in their appropriate threads. Done. [/QB][/QUOTE]
