[QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [QB] [QUOTE]'supra-Saharan' and 'sub-Saharan' are primarily geographical lexicon, in terms of positioning with respect to the Sahara: Supra-Saharan = above the Sahara. Saharan = on the Sahara. Sub-Saharan = below the Sahara.[/QUOTE]An important part of Keita's conception is to utilise nomenclature based on population relationships, and not strictly geographic constructs. The difference in approach is that the later attempts to constrict Africans by geography, when 'genetics' and 'linguistics' demonstrates that African biohistory transcends such contrived boundaries. Supra-saharan therefore isn't strictly-above- or north of the sahara. [no part of Egypt is North of the sahara, really only the Magreb is entirely north of the sahara] Thus Keita refers not only to supra-saharan, but also supra-equatorial and horn-supra-saharan. eg -> [i]This is because it can bepostulated that differentiation of the L3* haplogroup began before theemigration out of Africa, and that there would be indigenous supra-Saha-ran/Saharan or Horn-supra-Saharan haplotypes.[/i] [i]S. Keita, "A response to Brace et al.'s 'Clines and clusters versus race' (Yearbook of Physical Anthropology, 1993)" - The clusters made in this kind of research are suspect because although australian-melanesian data cluster with Africa, their DNA differs and places the former clearly in Asia. He listed a number of errors in the above mentioned publication, among them misrepresentations of statements made in certain publications by B. Trigger and the present writer, although he did not give more details, I forgot to ask him in what way my views had been distorted and which of my publications he was talking about. He showed many examples of African facial profiles indicating a great variability and denying the claims of some Africans (ie. Nigerians) to represent the true African prototype. He criticized as well the biased use of the language in definitions like for instance writing about "sub-Saharan" populations which has also other cultural implications, so to be consistent they should also use "supra-Saharan" instead of "north African" or other such nomenclature.[/i] [/QB][/QUOTE]
