[QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova: [QB] [b]There's some people who seek to divide African between each other. I don't know why.[/b] ^^Oh we all pretty much know why- so they can spin the bogus, and hypocritical narratives about Africa and Africans. As my old Geocities pages still says: -------------------------------------------------------- "As noted in one detailed 1967 study by archaeologists Berry and Ucko (Genetical Change in Ancient Egypt): [i] "This is attested by the tendency in the past (summarised by Chantre 1904) to postulate all sorts of improbable racial amalgams in Egypt: mixtures of peoples representing a singular variety of groups (viz. Libyan, Caucasian, Arab, Pelasgian, Negro, Bushman, Mongol, Hamitic, Hamito-Semitic- even Red Indian and Australian aboriginal) were alleged to have migrated into the Nile Valley." . Indeed Keith (1905:92) complained that the literature at that time included hopeless contradictions of three, six, one and two races."[5] [/i] Later work was sometimes marked by the same pattern with even Cro-Magnons being thrown into the mix.[6] Berry and Ucko also note most Egyptologists in earlier years [i]"are at pains to disclaim any Negro element in the Egyptian populations after the predynastic period except for the population of Sudanese Kerma.." [/i] while producing shifting definitions of exactly what 'negroid' was. Quote: [i] ".. the basic weakness of all claims to distinguish or decry Negro elements on the basis of metrical analyses is the absence of any rigorous population comparisons to isolate particular features which can be described as negroid. It is typical of this unsatisfactory situation that F.P [Petrie] 1928:68) although basing himself entirely on the original Stoessiger report, could sumarise the Badarian skull material in terms which denied any serious Negro element."[7] [/i] Disclaiming any hint of negroid presence, Petrie held that the ancient Egyptian skulls in question were of Indian origin, some thousands of miles distant, versus the surrounding area, or those further south, which were within a few hundred.[8] http://www.geocities.ws/nilevalleypeoples/index.htm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [IMG]http://www.geocities.ws/nilevalleypeoples/raxterrufftrinkhauscombo.jpg[/IMG] [i]"But they know very well what a white man is.. every time these relationships are not favorable to the Western cultures, an effort is made to undermine.. telling them [Africans] 'we don't know what a race is' (Finch interview 1989:366-7; see also Diop 1991: 16-17)[/i] -C.A. DIop [i]"But it is only the most gratuitous theory that considers the Dinka, the Nouer and the Masai, among others, to be Caucasoids. What if an African ethnologist were to persist in recognizing as white-only the blond, blue-eyed Scandinavians, and systematically refused membership to the remaining Europeans, and Mediterraneans in particular—the French, Italians, Greek, Spanish, and Portuguese? Just as the inhabitants of Scandinavia and the Mediterranean countries must be considered as two extreme poles of the same anthropological reality, so should the Negroes of East and West Africa be considered as the two extremes in the reality of the Negro world. To say that a Shillouk, a Dinka, or a Nouer is a Caucasoid is for an African as devoid of sense and scientific interest as would be, to a European, an attitude that maintained that a Greek or a Latin were not of the same race."[/i] -- Cheikh Anta Diop, 'Evolution of the Negro world', Presence Africaine (Vol. 23, no. 51, 1964), pp. 5-15. http://www.geocities.ws/nilevalleypeoples/index.htm [/QB][/QUOTE]
