[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: No Swenet, what I am saying is that language history is not the same as genetic history. And as seen above, this only supports the theory that most of "sub saharan" Africa was empty of humans prior to the "bantu migration", which I absolutely do not believe. And by that I don't mean I don't believe that the Bantu language exists. What I am saying is that the Bantu migration theory is a shallow historical concept that really does nothing to unravel the history of sub saharan Africa. Now if you really believe there is some deep historical knowledge of sub saharan Africa from prior to 10,000 years ago feel free provide it.[/QUOTE]This is how misinformation starts. I find it difficult to take you seriously because the people you're trying to debate on this can articulate your own argument better than you. But yet, you're trying to lecture us on something you don't have a firm grasp on yourself. 1) The racists you're talking about disputed that [i]'negroid'[/i] populations (meaning, belonging to the typological 'Negro' race) were already below the equator before the Bantu migration; they never said the region was uninhabited. In fact, a staple in their whole argument is that 'Caucasoid' populations inhabited parts of the areas Bantu speakers inhabit today. So, this is an absurd accusation to make towards specialists or even mainstream scholars who subscribe to the Bantu migration. You have yet to specify who these unnamed racist conspirators are other than that Bleek individual who supposedly said that areas below the equator were uninhabited prior to the Bantu migration. 2) The knowledge we have of pre-Holocene southern and central Africa is much more extensive and discussed than the knowledge we have of pre-holocene West Africa. So it makes no sense to tell me "if you really believe there is some deep historical knowledge of sub saharan Africa from prior to 10,000 years ago feel free provide it". Prehistoric southern and central Africa don't suffer from more academic neglect than northern areas of Sub-Saharan Africa. I don't see how you can come to this conclusion unless you're feigning familiarity with the subject and you don't know what information is out there yourself.
