[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mystery Solver: [QB] [QUOTE]rasol: [QUOTE]mystery solver: That's what doesn't make sense[/QUOTE]What? That the South African Khoisan don't have tropical limb ratios? That they are descendant from people who lived outside the tropics? Those are the two facts cited above,and it isn't clear which one you are taking issue with, or how. Maybe it's not meant to be clear?… [QUOTE] and which is what the question you are replying to is trying to get to the bottom of.[/QUOTE]^ I don't know what this refers to. I don't think I'm supposed to by the way it's phrased.[/QUOTE]…because you don’t know how to read complete comments it seems. If you aren’t busy ‘selectively’ breaking them down to segments, so that you can dodge them, perhaps then you’d be presenting answers, instead of questions underlying your confusion. [QUOTE]rasol: [QUOTE] If you don't "ascribe Khoisan a body plan or say that it was unique",[/QUOTE]I never did. You're choosing not to listen carefully to what I said, which results in asking faux questions which have already been answered.[/QUOTE]I have listened to what you said, and it implies to me what I deduced in the questions you evaded with incoherent selective reading and non-sequitur question-format responses, which are replete with nothing but your whining about being confused by something that shouldn't be. If it doesn’t have any implications, then of course, you had no point to make to begin with. If you can read the said questions carefully, rather than breaking them into pieces to provide non-sequitur questions as answers, I guarantee you, you’ll either have answers accordingly, or else won't have any. I suspect that the latter is at work here. [QUOTE]rasol: [QUOTE] then what is your point about it being "non-tropical",[/QUOTE]The point was as exact and clear as your determination to ignore it.[/QUOTE]Which again was…, and to which my follow up questions were answered where, i.e. without your classic non-sequitur and evasive questions for answers? [QUOTE]rasol: 'South African' Khoisan have lived outside the tropics for millenia, have physically adapted to non tropical conditions, in ways that make them distinct from tropically adapted peoples. [/QUOTE]You mentioned the Khoisan body plan and limb ratios earlier, and now, you’re trying to tell me you had no point in bringing them up? [QUOTE]rasol: They are no more tropical in many ways than coastal north Africans are.[/QUOTE]I know this seems to be a very complex question for you, but I’ll take the liberty of asking it several times anyway: in what way does the ‘Khoisan body plan’ and 'limb ratios' stand out from those of tropical Africans, which are the items you’ve used to say that they are not ‘tropical’? [QUOTE]rasol: And this makes perfect sense, as coastal South Africa is no more tropical than coastal North Africa. So it's wrong to pretend 'tropical' is some sort accurate biological description.[/QUOTE]Tropical African makes perfect sense as a biological term. If it didn’t make sense as a biological term, why then would Keita have used it as such; who has refuted its use in that regard, and when? And why have *you* used it in biological terms? This is the second time I’m asking you this, but I suspect, we'll get more breaking down of these very comments into ‘pieces’ you’d like to focus on, to hopefully fool yourself into thinking that you’ve succeeded in distracting the gullible ones from your lack of answers. [QUOTE]rasol: Anyway, I have concluded, by the nature of your reply that you understood every word of the above, but need to argue over it, to defend a fetishisation of the term 'tropical'.[/QUOTE]I’ve concluded you’ve understood my questions, and know how damaging your answers to them would do to your so-called rationalization that “Khoisans are black”, and yet they cannot be part of the Saharo-tropical African biological continuum. [QUOTE]rasol: When that happens, I just move on to the next thread.... [/QUOTE]There is a term for what you’re doing here, rasol; it’s called a copout. :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
