[QUOTE]Originally posted by Evergreen: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Truthcentric: [qb] It's commonly claimed on this forum that the Natufians of Mesolithic Southwest Asia were a black people of African descent. I don't doubt that they may have had African ancestry, but [URL=http://www.jstor.org/pss/683538]this paper by Trenton Holliday[/URL] reports that, while the first modern humans to migrate to Southwest Asia from Africa were tropically adapted, their Natufian descendants became cold-adapted. From the paper: [QUOTE]Natufians also exhibit a somewhat cold-adapted physique, albeit not as extreme as the Neandertals.[/QUOTE]This challenges the belief that the Natufians were black, for if these people were really tropically adapted like blacks, why don't their limb proportions show it? [/qb][/QUOTE]Evergreen Writes: The Khoisan of South Africa are also "somewhat cold-adapted" does that mean they are not Black? [/QB][/QUOTE]
