[QUOTE]Originally posted by dahlak: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [b] I never said anything about Somalis being pure or prototypical anything, I am just stating that just because they differ in certain respects from Guinea peoples of West Africa doesn't mean they are not closely related. By the way, I have heard that some of the Afar people have Yemeni ancestry as well. This ancestry comes from a people called the Able that migrated to Africa around the same time as the Sabaeans. [QUOTE][b]Originally posted by Supercar:[/b] I see where you are going with your explanations, and for the most part, you seem to be heading in the right direction, however, these features (presumably facial features) are not only limited to Africans in western Africa. They exist in eastern Africa as well.[/QUOTE] Yes, I am aware of this. [QUOTE]Tropically adapted folks are more diverse, than the cold-adapted folks (as in Europeans); not vice versa. A pseudo scientific geo-contruct like "caucasoid", was meant to artificially imply the latter. In Africa, tropical adaptation isn't limited to West Africans, nor is it limited to facial features; it is essentially the original state of modern Humans and basically covers the bulk of 'indigenous' African populations.[/QUOTE] I know all that, but the reason why I used Nigerians and Andamanese as an example was to show how two populations from opposite ends of the globe could resemble each other so much yet genetically are very distant. While Nigerians and Somalis who don't look that much alike but live on opposite ends of the same continent really are closely related. [QUOTE]I agree. The term is scientifically defunct, i.e., meaningless or devoid of logic! Those who play with scientifically invalid constructs as an attempt to forward a scientific logic, are needless to say, engaging in [i]pseudo-science[/i].[/QUOTE] I feel the problem is ignorance and a lack of education or understanding. In Stupid-Euro's case, a refusal to understand. [This message has been edited by Djehuti (edited 31 July 2005).][/B][/QUOTE] I heard that too about Afars, there are some Afars look like Yemenis.
