[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [qb] Gotta love how Doug is all over the place. Note he didn't respond to my point that there is not more academic neglect in the areas where Bantu languages are spoken than in West Africa below the Sahel. As usual he commits himself for several pages to an argument (in this case, he said that Africa below the equator has been targeted by a racist conspiracy to make it appear uninhabited), but when it is blown out of the water he still tries to double down with all sorts of distractions while insisting his current argument is the same as his original argument. Again, pre-holocene coastal West Africa has much larger gaps in the historical record, but Doug insists that areas south (which are in reality much better documented) are completely unique in Africa as far as being targeted by a racist conspiracy and deliberate neglect. :rolleyes: [/qb][/QUOTE]Your reading comprehension is lacking. I said there is a gap from 100,000 years to 5,000 years in the archaeology of most countries South of the Sahara, which is indicative of the relative lack of serious archaeology in the area. Bantus only come into play after 5,000 years. But lest you keep complaining and trying to pretend not to understand what is being said: white folks never ever accepted that African people could be more ancient than Europeans and defninitly not "superior" in any respect. Therefore, they never really wanted to dig up any history of Africa below the Sahara going back 100,000 years or more because it would contradict their theories of racial superiority. They are perfectly fine talking about Bantus because it makes Africans South of the Sahara seem to have a history that is far younger than Europeans and as I Already posted originally was designed to justify white conquest in South Africa. Somehow I get the impression you don't believe there is any racism in Any of this. But anyway, the fact that you have far older tool industries being found by the archaeology that is being done in Africa South of the Sahara just shows how much more there is to be found. It is the tip of the iceberg. "Bantus" are simply one part of a much bigger picture and not the whole picture.
