[QUOTE]Originally posted by Herukhuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: [qb] *Science cannot be substituted by hearsay; rather, it tests one's ability to methodologically present material that is falsifiable, subject to scrutiny. *As a matter of simple geography, west Africa comprises all that lies on the westward section of the continent; neither coastal northwest Africa, nor sub-Saharan west Africa limits what is west African. *The individuals in the images presented are Malians. *There is nothing remotely extraordinary about the skin pigmentations of these individuals, with respect to the sub-Saharan African continuum. If there is, a scientific demonstration of how so, would be in order. *What specific long-held Fulani oral traditions relay that they are "mixed"; that is -- "mixed" in what sense? It goes without saying, that this is the 21st century; we all ought to be able to look beyond long scientifically-shattered and dead 19th century-conceived anthropological constructs. *The urge to stereotype is precisely the sort of dogmatic mentality that motivated the creation of the "Forest Negro" archetype which was artificially confined to a geography as its only authentic habitat, that it could not ideally transcend -- aka sub-Saharan Africa, which is yet another bogus idealized concept -- i.e. short of simply meaning "below the Sahara", wherein any reality that otherwise didn't accomodate the idealization, was simply explained off as having come about through the agent of foreign transmission. [/qb][/QUOTE]Understood. Admittedly, I need to see a lot more Africa for a better perspective. [/QB][/QUOTE]
