[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] ^ Correct. The problem with Obenga and other Africanist scholars like him is that in their hellbent approach to show commonalities and relations between the various cultures of Africa, especially Egypt, they propose all sorts of 'Pan-African' language phyla. This mentality was betrayed by Clyde Winters when he admitted that the goal is to emulate (my paraphrase) the Indo-European phylum of Europe. Problem is Indo-European does NOT comprise [i]all[/i] the languages of Europe nor is a Pan-African phylum even necessary to demonstrate the various features common the cultures and languages of the African continent. By constructing some false 'Pan-African' phylum, all they are doing is reducing the linguistic and cultural diversity of Africa which is a much larger continent with much older (the oldest) populations.
