[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Chimu: Bisa Sandawe didn't have a mutation, weren't killed off by the intense sun and were lighter.[/QUOTE]The Sandawe have enough melanin to survive in the environment they live in, and their complexion is what one would call "dark complexioned"; essentially what we also call "black". [QUOTE] Uh no, they weren't. They were regarded as Griqua or Colored.[/QUOTE]Do you have evidence that in Apartheid South Africa, Khoisans were given the same treatment as "coloreds", and were better treated than the "blacks"? [QUOTE] Note that in Botsana, the Black identity has been pushed while in South Africa it has not. The Khoi in Botwana are also much more heavily mixed with Bantu than the San in South Africa.[/QUOTE]So, is this your way of saying that the San in Botswana are darker in skin tone than those in South Africa? [QUOTE] [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: Norton, Kittles et al: [i]In general, the [b]derived allele[/b] (associated with lighter pigmentation) is most common in [b]Europeans and East Asians[/b], and the [b]**ancestral allele**[/b] predominates in [b]**sub-Saharan Africa** and **Island Melanesia.**[/b][/i] [/QUOTE]An ancestral allele that was present in the Bisa Sandawe and yet they were lighter.[/QUOTE]What was the allele, found in the Bisa Sandawe by whom, and associated with what skin complexion [that is to say, with "dark" or "light" according to the study]? Your opinionating that the Bisa Sandawe are "lighter" in no way changes the fact of the study that you are citing above about dark skin alleles in Africans and Melanesians, nor does your *personal* characterization of the Sandawe as "lighter" make them not to be "dark" complexioned folks, that is to say, "black".
