[QUOTE]Originally posted by xyyman: [QB] @ Lioness. PDF did not convert properly. But you will get the theme. Read the paper. ===== INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ANTHROPOLOGY Vol. 4, n. 1-2: 61-74, 1989 Four Cameroonian populations were studied for a large set of anthropometric measurements. Three groups live in the forest (two Bantu speaking, and one pygmoid tribe) 'and the fourth one in the savanna plateau. Multivariate analysis'of 'thd'morphological features showed that the two Bantu groups have veryksimilarb ody morphology. This is interpreted to be a result-of-common genetic origin and of the fact that they inhabit the sameLenvkonment Whereas the Pygmoids segregate apart. The savanna dwellers'he morphologically equidistint from the two former groups, and when compared to other savanna peoples living in Burkina-Faso, are deen to be more similar to forest populations. Some dimatic influences-CaTbejidentified, mainly on limb proportions and nose and face dimensions. They seem to play a larger part in body differentiation than do.,nutritional and/or pathological conditions. Differences be&eenkthekforest Bantu and the savannadwellers are mostly due to a shape compdnent, whereas the Pygmoids display an overall reduction in$& Savanna highlanders also exhibit a 'size reduction, which rbults:in t€́.ei&being more similar in shape to the Pygmies than are &elbther,groups compared. A fruitful approach to morphological differentiation must take advantage of opportunities to compare peoples sharini'thth;t"kdgenetoicr igin but having migrated to occupy contrastin$e.nvirbnments.[b] The hypothesis is raised that a common African stock has differentiated in contrasting ecosystems.[/b] CLASS IS OVER!!. . . . .
