[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dead: [QB] [QUOTE]Secondly, it has been demonstrated scientifically that modern West Africans, which are recent migrants from East Africa, share no continuity with late Pleistocene human remains in West Africa which are more archaic.[/QUOTE]Do you mean they lacked morphological or genetic continuity? My view is only the former. Holocene Africans show little to no craniometric relationship to Pleistocene Africans (excluding the Khoisan, see above) because there was a shift in skeletal heterogeneity on the continent to (sub)regional population structures - where mean statistical phenotypic complexes (e.g. "Negroid"/broad African "Aethiopid"/elongated African) emerged or became distinctive. This is why the oldest "Negroid" remains are only 7,000 or 8,000 years old. Hierneux (1974) also discusses the recent fossil origin of the "elongated African". [/QB][/QUOTE]
