[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Truthcentric: [qb] It may be more than a coincidence that the Sahara has a similar climate to much of Australia where the native inhabitants also have wavy hair despite being tropically adapted. Maybe living in an arid environment would for some reason select for less tightly curled hair?[/qb][/QUOTE]That is a hypothesis that I've had for a while as well-- that extremely arid environments correlate with loose wavy hair. In fact not only is wavy hair found among Saharans but like the Australian aborigines, light colored hair including slight blondism can be found as a juvenile trait among children as well, though not as prominent (brightly colored) as Aussie aboriginal children. [QUOTE][qb]That said, while I'm inclined to agree with you that wavy hair is indigenous to the Sahara, Euronuts will claim that the Saharan region would be an admixture zone between "true" black people and "Caucasoids" living on the Mediterranean coastline and therefore that the wavy-haired black peoples you named are not wholly African. Alternatively, some people might agree that the wavy-haired Saharans ARE more or less pure Africans but still maintain that they should be considered distinct from sub-Saharan peoples.[/qb][/QUOTE]Who gives a sh|t what the Euronuts claim or think?! I don't know about you, but I certainly dont! As for Saharans being distinct from sub-Saharans, how so??! We already know that so-called sub-Saharan populations are continuous with those of the Sahara and even the Mediterranean coasts! I just explained how wavy hair is found as far south as Uganda not to mention the Horn and among Sahelians. [QUOTE][qb]You wouldn't happen to have photos showing the Saharan groups you named, would you? [/qb][/QUOTE]Well we've already seen photos of Siwan people. The girls usually have their hairs braided. The Teda people are the same as the Tubu. I couldn't find any pictures of Tubu/Teda with long hair at least girls and women who don't have their hair covered but here are couple pics of them.

You may remember him as the poster 'Maahes' from years back who was making ancient Egyptian movie 'Goddess of the Sun' featuring Halle Berry as Nefertiti.
