[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: In fact some of these anthropologists proposed 'Australoids' to be the original racial type ancestral to all others. . We all know such features have nothing to do with 'Australoids' and racial groups don’t really exist, but what do you guys make of such a phenotype in the Maghreb? [/QUOTE]If you believe races don't exist why can't you figure out how to write a thread in that context? People in this forum say races don't exist. They should then be able to articulate questions coming from that perspective, for example, not using the word "race" or groups of people with "oid' at the end. Instead what people do is quote people who believe in race and then try to disown the racial element of the point. That's a bullcrap dishonest way of doing things. [b] They can never express the point in a new paradigm [/b] And this constantly lends authority to old authors who believed in race always asking us to recall what they said. That is not forward thinking. That is not to say never recall what they said but the norm has become always recall their perspective, each and every time. I will now rewrite the original thread removing the racial references: Deracialized original post: [b] All this talk of the prehistoric presence of anatomically modern humans in North Africa and specifically the Maghreb reminds me of certain populations in the area some of which are relatively isolated who exhibit robust cranio-facial features one might associate today with Australian aborigines such as large jaws and teeth and heavy brow ridges in conjunction with wavy hair. Indeed, there were some Western anthropologists who proposed that this phenotype was once more widespread than it is today and included North Africa and in some cases Europe! In fact some of these anthropologists proposed this phenotype to be ancestral to all others. In the case of North Africans there are a few people who stand out in this, one in particular are the Ushetettas of Tunisia. In a recent google search I came across one thread posted on this issue in the Anthrocivitas forum: http://anthrocivitas.net/forum/showthread.php?t=10848 What do you guys make of such a phenotype in the Maghreb? They surely do not conform to modern North Africans let alone the Berbers who have European ancestry. Do you think this to be a surviving remnant from Mesolithic or even Paleolithic times?? I do believe these are aboriginal remnants of a population that existed in Africa and eventually left to make up a significant portion of the base population that later came to dominate parts of Asia and Europe. This may represent a very old strain of African genes and a very old phenotype that remained intact in Australia and parts of South Asia due to the tropical environment there. I even made the same argument myself right here on ES and even used some of the same images a few years ago in one of the many threads on North African Berbers. [/b] lioness productions [/QB][/QUOTE]
