Can tropical Africans have straighter hair?

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Truthcentric: [QB] I know straight-haired Africans exist, but the question is whether that texture evolved in Africa or is the result of admixture with Eurasians. I don't find the Eurasian admixture hypothesis very plausible for the Semna Nubians, as all the other bio-anthropological data indicates tropical African affinities for Nubians, but I still don't understand why an otherwise perfectly tropically adapted population would have less tightly curled hair. To be sure, I still can't find photos of straight-haired Nubian mummies, so it's possible that their hair was curlier than Hrdy et al imply (remember that curly hair occurs even within Europeans whom they claim are closer to Nubians), but what explains variation in African hair texture?
