[QUOTE]Originally posted by Morpheus: [QB] Here's some useful information on Myra's webpage: [IMG]http://wysinger.homestead.com/map989.jpg[/IMG] [QUOTE]This information comes from Philip D. Curtin's book, The Atlantic Slave Trade, (1969), p. 221. Obviously, this is not the only version available, but Curtin is a heavyweight on the subject (along with W.E.B. DuBois, R.R. Kuczynski, E. Donnan, Davies, H.S. Klein, etc.) and I like the way the data is presented: PROJECTED EXPORTS OF THAT PORTION OF THE FRENCH AND ENGLISH SLAVE TRADE HAVING IDENTIFIABLE REGION OF COAST ORIGIN IN AFRICA, 1711-1810. Senegambia (Senegal-Gambia) * 5.8% Sierra Leone 3.4% Windward Coast (Ivory Coast) * 12.1% Gold Coast (Ghana) * 14.4% Bight of Benin (Nigeria) * 14.5 Bight of Biafra (Nigeria) * 25.1% Central and Southeast Africa (Cameroon- N. Angola) * 24.7% * The countries in parentheses are rough approximations to help you find the location on a modern map. Now I will try to relate the above regions to selected ethnic groups. I've collected this data from a variety of sources, and I can't vouch for all of them. The central question for me is always, "Were these people called by that name during that time in that place?" I don't know how to show the nomadic and semi-nomadic groups, but I included several below anyway. SENEGAMBIA: Wolof, Mandingo, Malinke, Bambara, Papel, Limba, Bola, Balante, Serer, Fula, Tucolor SIERRA LEONE: Temne, Mende, Kisi, Goree, Kru. WINDWARD COAST (including Liberia): Baoule, Vai, De, Gola (Gullah), Bassa, Grebo. GOLD COAST: Ewe, Ga, Fante, Ashante, Twi, Brong BIGHT OF BENIN & BIGHT OF BIAFRA combined: Yoruba, Nupe, Benin, Dahomean (Fon), Edo-Bini, Allada, Efik, Lbibio, Ljaw, Lbani, Lgbo (Calabar) CENTRAL & SOUTHEAST AFRICA: BaKongo, MaLimbo, Ndungo, BaMbo, BaLimbe, BaDongo, Luba, Loanga, Ovimbundu, Cabinda, Pembe, Imbangala, Mbundu, BaNdulunda Other possible groups that maybe should be included as a "Ancestral group" of African Americans: Fulani, Tuareg, Dialonke, Massina, Dogon, Songhay, Jekri, Jukun, Domaa, Tallensi, Mossi, Nzima, Akwamu, Egba, Fang, and Ge. Best Regards, Kwame Bandele[/QUOTE]African-Americans are partially but not primarily descended from Bantu people. As far as the Somaons are concerned they have traditionally been grouped as Mongoloids but are sometimes placed in a separate Polynesian racial category. Culturally and genetically they are much more similar to other Polynesian peoples than they are to mainland East Asians. They do reside in the tropics but they have not lived there are long as Australian Aborigines and Melanasians who show more significant tropical adaptations. [/QB][/QUOTE]
