[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ish Gebor: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova: [qb] [b]..which if they were going by the latter approach would point out the African origins of many of these lineages.... Ultimately the issue being that Africa is not stagnant, humans are a migratory species and focusing on one small period of time in order to flesh out one piece of the picture doesn't replace the whole picture.[/b] True enough. This notion of "static" Africans is still in the minds of many- such as "sub-Saharan" Africans staying meekly behind the "Saharan barrier" like some apartheid line of old South Africa. ANd the Sahara itself is a shifting barrier - with net movement south over the centuries. This means that numerous peoples once "sub-Saharan" become NON "sub-Saharan" as the barrier creeps south. The Kingdom of Kush was a sub-Saharan entity with trade and admin links far south.

It is an issue of time depth and multiple waves of dispersions within Africa and out of Africa. Imagine how ripples interact within a pond and now put the Omo valley as the source of the ripples with waves radiating out then bouncing around within Africa, with some leaking out. Their view is so simplistic that it doesn't even admit to the fact that Africans have been migrating back and forth within Africa over multiple thousands of years as a result of various climate and environmental changes. This would imply that there have been multiple waves of settlements in various parts of Africa and that "Sub Saharans" is a meaningless term in that the first humans were born in Sub Saharan Africa to begin with so how does that distinction mean anything IN Africa among African populations? And this is where the time depth and diversity of Africans and African lineages come into play because all African populations have tremendous diversity as a result. Studies like this ignore the 200,000 year history of Africans migrating in and around Africa and create some artificially shallow and arbitrary time depth of African migrations, as if Africans only got to South Africa or any other part of Africa 4,000 years ago. [/qb][/QUOTE]Their proposition indeed has been that Africans are inferior, therefore could not have moved themselves in Africa, from place-to-place. It took magical Eurasians (caucasoids/ whites) to roam all over Africa. This view is horrendous and racist ideology, which has root in old colonial thinking. [/QB][/QUOTE]
