[QUOTE]Originally posted by Whatbox: [QB] Pwnt is believed to have referred to a region encompassing Eritrea, Northern Ethiopia, and possibly a little of adjacent Sudan, but it may not have denoted an area demarcated in a rigorously rigidly exact manner, but simply the "inland area", "where the exotic animals and short people" are [or were]. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Hersi_Yusuf: Hey everyone I'm new here and I have a question (please go easy on me I'm new and here to learn, I was always told to ask questions and you guys seem to know your stuff). I know races don't exist but I was wondering if all native africans are more related to each other then any other group of people shouldn't that be consider a race or a independent population? I mean not on a skin color or phenotype level but on a genetic level. [/QUOTE]To answer your question, and it is a valid one, it's like this: Basically Africa has more variation, though this variation is spread out. Explanation: Say you have an ethnic group, divided in to groups A and B, representing Africans and extra-Africans or non-Africans. The genetic diversity existent in B is also present in A, and more. So A has more variance. The thing is, let's say A is made up of large ethnic groups or clans or families. It is just that the variance existent in A happens to be intra- - meaning within - group variance rather than inter- or between group variance. [b]Meaning:[/b] the variance is fairly spread or distributed out within [b]all[/b] groups making it [b]individual[/b] (all families pretty much have ranges of variation), rather than meaning that it is mostly so that the groups are so different from eachother. Because Africans are so variable, actually, I thought the standout point was that all non-Africans were closer related to each other than were any to sub-Saharan Africans. Meaning Europe, Oceania (actually more distantly related to Africa than Europe), East Asia, Alaska, South America, etcetera. Interesting fact: There are some individuals in certain regions / ethnic groups on this planet, on one extreme of the variation within our species genome, who are so different from folks on the other extreme, that they could be said to literally be a different sub-species or race from them. As I gethered it this is very few people though, and only in certain ethnic groups. [/QB][/QUOTE]
