[QUOTE]Originally posted by Asar Imhotep: [QB] This logic doesn't hold up in regards to known historical possibilities. If the Bantu speaking people "started" in Cameroon/Nigeria, yet the majority of Bantu speakers are in central, south and east Africa. By King's logic, because the Bantus have the highest number of speakers in Central, East and South East Africa, that that is where they originated from and have no ties to Cameroon/Nigeria. Fulani is a federation of people who now speak the same language. All large groups of people are really just confederations. This is a practice all across the continent that people fail to recognize. When Tshaka Zulu was building his empire, anyone who wanted to be Zulu was Zulu. This is how a small group of people who migrated from the Sudan became the dominant cultural group in South Africa. It would be no different for Fulani or Yoruba. They are all a breed of various African groups who decided to come together and be Fulani and Yoruba respectively. This is the case with the Ancient Egyptians. To tell you the truth, there was no such thing as an Egyptian ethnic group. The political state encompassed many many different ethnic groups who retained their respective cultures throughout the political period. So what you may have here with the Fulani is the same thing that happened to the Zulu which explains the diversity in phenotypes among the Fulani: they are actually different people who by confederacy speak the same language.
