[QUOTE]Originally posted by Punos_Rey: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Nodnarb: [qb] I think Irish, like many other bio-anthropologists, might be working with the popular equation of "North Africans" with Mediterranean Eurasians, as contrasted with a "sub-Saharan" south. As I've said before, most people have a binary view of Africa as split into a "Mediterranean" North and a "Negroid" South, with maybe a few "Hamitics" representing a gradient between them. I don't believe our concept of an indigenous Saharan population substructure, distinct from both Eurasian and sub-Saharan ones, has occurred to most anthropologists even if they should know better. They may not be intellectually racialist, but they are still subject to deeply entrenched cultural conditioning. [/qb][/QUOTE]"I don't believe our concept of an indigenous Saharan population substructure, distinct from both Eurasian and sub-Saharan ones" I believe this is what Swenet has been getting at when attacking Doug M's insistence to use black in a racial sense. I just still don't get how people can apply black as a racial category to Sub-Saharans and not to dark skinned Saharan populations(except the Nubians apparently). And even if distinct, aren't the Saharan populations and Sub-Saharan populations still tied by the Green Sahara period and interimittent contact thereafter? You guys have been at this a lot longer than I have so forgive any ignorance on my part. [/QB][/QUOTE]
