[QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by yazid904: Back migration as presently defined, implies a specifc group left Africa at x time and some time afterwards returned to that place where they assumed thir roots were. [/QUOTE]Can this be applied to any time frame? Suppose a group stepped out of Africa and into the levantine 50,000 years ago and then stepped back into Africa only 1 thousand years later where they have lived in Africa for the last 49,000 years. Bear in mind that Europe was 1st settled 40 kya. Therefore said group has lived in Africa since before Europeans existed, and for 49,000 of the last 50 thousand years. Does this still qualify as back migration? The question is interesting because it has its corollary in the question of what constitutes non African: before 50kya~ all people were African. When then, in your view do Africans become non African? If a people migrate out of Africa, back into Africa, and then out of African again.....are they now Africans living outside of Africa (?), or are they native Non-Africans? I'm asking you - does this work both ways or only 1 way? Lastly, African Americans who settled Liberia withing the last couple centuries...does that consitutute 'back migration' as well? Africans must take great care with how we define these things, lest we allow them to be defined for us - by Eurocentrists. [/QB][/QUOTE]
