[QUOTE]Originally posted by Amun-Ra The Ultimate: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Tukuler: [qb] Late Niger-Kordofanian occupation is another lie. We have the archaeology. It shows by pottery, plant tendering and domestication, and metallurgy what people were there. Climatology also indicates these West African Pleistocene folk moved north with the monsoons that greened the Sahara for the Holocene. [/qb][/QUOTE]^^^This is false. What is important for people to know is that modern West African people for the most part (like Niger-Kordofanian speakers) are relatively recent migrants to their current West African locations(regions). By recent, in this case, we mean after 10kya, thus during the Holocene. Here's a quote from the book called The Origins of Modern Humans: Biology reconsidered (p23-24). Similar analysis can also be seen in other literature: [QUOTE][b]Emergence of Distinctive Regional Groups in Africa [/b] Curiously, although modern humans appeared very early in Africa, [b]there was a very long delay until the appearance of individuals who can not be distinguished metrically and morphologically from the living inhabitants of each part of Africa[/b] . In fact, almost [b]all Africa Late Pleistocene hominins [Edit:between 120kya and 10kya] are easily distinguished from living Africans[/b] (Anderson, 1968; Brothwell and Shaw, 1971; Gramly and Rightmire, 1973; Twiesselmann, 1991; Muteti et al., 2010; Angel et al., 1980; de Villiers and Fatti, 1982; Angel and Olsen Kelly, 1986; Habgood, 1989; Howells, 1989; Boaz et al., 1990; Allsworth-Jones et al., 2010), [b]and it is not until the Holocene that this situation changes[/b] (Rightmire, 1975, 1978b, 1984b; de Villiers and Fatti, 1982; Bräuer, 1984b; Habgood, 1989). [/QUOTE]So basically, modern West African people arrived at their current location AFTER the late pleistocene period (or at worst at the very end of it) during the Holocene thus after 10 000BC. This is also true for most other modern African population in their respective regions (Cushitic and Chadic speakers). Originally those modern West African migrants lived in North-eastern Africa which is the geographic origin of the Niger-Kordofanian languages (discussed [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=008856]HERE[/URL]) as well as the geographic origin of the E-P2/E1b1a haplogroup lineage (the lineage of over 90% of the modern West African populations). I made a similar post in this thread: http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=009118;p=1#000020 Before the arrival of modern West Africans during the Holocene, West Africa was inhabited by small groups of humans which didn't leave any traces (like languages) and were thus probably absorbed by the Holocene migrants. Modern West Africans are physically distinct from Pleistocene Africans inhabiting that region as stated in the quote above. Only in Eastern Africa, around the Sudan region, can we see continuity between Pleistocene and Holocene specimen (as discussed [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=009118;p=1#000037]HERE[/URL]).
