[QUOTE]Originally posted by Quetzalcoatl: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [You're getting old and can't read. I said the Dravidians and Mande lived in the Nile Valley, I did not say that Dravidian speakers lived at Dar Tichitt. . [/QB][/QUOTE]Regurgitating reams of canned material does not constitute an answer. What you said is : [QUOTE]The linguistic evidence clearly show similarities in the Afican and Dravidian terms for plant domesticates. This suggest that these groups early adopted agriculture and made animal domestication secondary to the cultivation of millet, rice and yams. The analogy for the Malinke-Bambara and Dravidians terms for rice, millet and yams suggest a very early date for the domestication of these crops. In summary, population pressure in the Sahara during a period of increasing hyperaridity forced hunter/gather/fisher Proto-Dravidian people to first domesticate animals and then crops. The linguistic evidence discussed above indicate that the Proto-Dravidians migrated out of Africa to Harappan sites with millet, yam and rice already recognized as principal domesticated crop. [/QUOTE]First-- You have been asked repeatedly for evidence that the [b]Mande[/b] lived in the Nile Valley in the relevant time frame. Welmers is no help because he says that the proto-Mande migrated west from [b]Dahomey[/b] not the southern Sudan/Uganda area. You have also not [b]quoted[/b] (not paraphrased or plain asserted) any published evidence to contradict the passages I cited from Brooks, Blench, or Ehret. Second-- The Nile Valley did not have domesticated millet, yam and rice in the time frame you require [b]therefore[/b] you must be claiming that the Dravidians took the millet, yam and rice from Mauritania.
