[QUOTE]Originally posted by .Charlie Bass.: [QB] Listen Swenet, lol, let me explain this on finer terms since I actually had email contact with Brace years ago and why his methodology and using his study isn't helping your case. I inquired about Fulani and whee do they sit in his analyses and to my surprise he said he grouped them in a "Northeast African cluster," which to me is shocking since the sample he studied came from West Africa. The Somali sample he studied came from Somalia, now why does he group populations that are GEOGRAPHICALLY from sub-Saharan Africa and exclude them FROM Sub-Saharan Africa when they DO NOT fit the trend of what he thinks is "truly sub-Saharan African? In other words, in Brace's mind and watch what I say here, IF THEY DON'T LOOK what he considers sub-Saharan he systematically excludes them and puts them in a geographically distant area from where they are truly from and apart of, that's why when he says and I quote "The indications of exclusion, however, are much easier to interpret. [b]For example, the likelihood that either the Giza or Naqada configuration could occur in West Africa, the Congo, or points south is vanishingly small-0.000 and 0.001.[/b] --Brace 1993 We collected measurements for a single specimen from what was called the Nubian X Group in Reisner’s terminology (Reisner, 1909). This was a population that immediately preceded the early Christian Nubians of AD 550 (Carlson and Van Gerven, 19791, and, in the subjective treatment of a generation gone by, had been regarded as evidence for a “Negroid incursion’’ (Batrawi, 1935; Smith, 1909; Seligman, 1915). As our figures show, the probability of finding our representative specimen [b]in a sub- Saharan population is 0.009, which is highly unlikely.[/b] Its column loadings are generally similar to the loadings in the column for the Predynastic Naqada sample, and, except for the fact that it is only marginally unlikely that it can be excluded from the Giza sample, it cannot be denied membership in the Naqada, European, or South Asian samples. --Brace 1993 He is being bogus and contradicts himself, how can you quote him and overlook this? narrow featured, thin nosed people are found to be native in West Africa and in sub-Saharan Africa, its just that when they encounter such populations they exclude them from being "True" West African or sub-Saharan if they do not fit the ideal of what they think is truly sub-Saharan, thats why you can't quote Brace or Strouhal. I do agree that having similar morphology doesn't mean they came from the area where they show similarity to, but Brace even goes as far as to say AEs aren't even "African" because they don't look like SSAs(his ideal). AEs don't come from Europe nor South Asia but he implies it but you quot him anyway then use Keita's quote, you contradict yourself. [/QB][/QUOTE]
