[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mystery Solver: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [QUOTE]That side, I don't see anything that particularly stands out in the Khoisan body build from that contained in the tropical African continuum,[/QUOTE]Tropical African continuum is a buzzword, not a morphology.[/QUOTE]Tropical African is a bio-anthropological term for Africans who are indigenous to the tropics. [QUOTE]rasol: You can say that Greeks and Swedes and Chinese are a part of the "tropical African continuum" if you like.[/QUOTE]These people have non-African TMRCAs and have developed traits that are not necessarily a product of the tropical environment. And so, it is not the question of one picking and choosing, but more to the point of what is scientifically valid to say so. [QUOTE]rasol: Why not -> Greeks have olive skin tones, and sickle cell, Swedes have intermediate limb ratios, [in between eskimo and africans] Chinese have San-like Eyefolds.[/QUOTE]Just told you why, like a dozen times now. [QUOTE]rasol: You are still trying to turn a morphology into and ethnicity, which then forces you to *fake* the definition of the morphology. [/QUOTE]For the nth time, 'tropical African' is reference to biological continuum of Africans. You proclaimed to have read Keita's work, and yet, it seems that you still cannot comprehend this concept. You've charged me with trying to make a bio-anthropological term into an ethnic term several times now without success, because each time you've done it, you were asked to produce the citation. I'd ask you to do so again, but I know, it won't be done...because it is plainly a lie. [QUOTE]rasol: SA KhoiSan migrated outside the tropics thousands of years ago, and their morphology reflects that reality.[/QUOTE]Well then, it shouldn't be as hard as it seems for more than several posts now, to demonstrate what it is about the Khoisan body plan and size that is supposed to stand out from the tropical African range. [QUOTE]rasol: Calling them tropical *anyway* contradicts this reality for political purposes, which makes it a fake - wished-for-ethnicity, posing as a morphology.[/QUOTE]I gave you several biological points, which you have still to address. Instead, you simply don't respond, because somehow you feel that it allows you to make empty claims like this. [QUOTE]rasol: I've already explained why this is a complete waste of time. But, it's your time to waste, so...[/QUOTE]My time is well spent,....demonstrating that you are trying to make something out of nothing, about Khoisans being "not tropically adapted". [/QB][/QUOTE]
