[QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [QB] [QUOTE]Mystery Solver: '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] [QUOTE]rasol: An important part of Keita's conception is to utilise nomenclature based on population relationships, and not strictly geographic constructs.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]MysterySolver: What does this have to do with what you are citing?[/QUOTE]It's a statement of fact. [QUOTE]Are you saying that the terms I mentioned, don't mean as presented?[/QUOTE]Don't get defensive, but yes, you said it means *north of* sahara. I've already shown you that this is not correct. I notice that your response does not object to the correction per se. Instead you simply object to my having corrected it. [hense - defensive] [QUOTE]rasol: 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.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]MysterySolver writes: The terms are primarily geographical lexicons;[/QUOTE]Not really. The term supra-saharan is more a transgeographic term whose utility is based upon population histories. Here is a specific example: Exploring the relationship between human society and the natural world. [i]We focus primarily on [i]supra-Saharan regions of the continent.[/i] Specific topics include the Nile River, the Sahara, the Sahel, and the politics of water and petroleum resource exploitation. [/i] - Professor, Tanya Furman, [2007] ^ This is clearly not consistent with soley north of the sahara - which is the Maghreb and in this case is not even mentioned. [QUOTE]What is wrong with stating that fact, or using the terms in a geographical sense for that matter?[/QUOTE]Now i've answered the above with clarity, but based on past experience I expect repetitive questioning but no aknowledgement of the answer provided. And answer I have no intention of repeating. So allow me to make a request to prevent a stagnant circular exchange: If you assert that supra-saharan is a geographical reference to North of the Sahara, and is so being referenced incorrectly by the scholars cited, then please provide a map of the geography = supra-sahara. No need for defensive argumentation. If you believe this is geography lexicon for North of Sahara, simply show us, via a map. [/QB][/QUOTE]
