[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass/: [QB] No one has ever called Somalis or Ethiopians "Caucasoid" or "White" (at least not [i]senso stricto[/i]); this is a straw-man Afrocentrists invented. What physical anthropologists like Coon (1965) said is Horn Africa is a mixture of "Caucasoids" and "Negroids"; the percentages vary in different tribes/ethnic groups: [QUOTE][b]Peoples of the Horn of Africa[/b] AT THE OTHER END of the Red Sea from Suez, the Bab el Mandeb has also served as a major corridor between Western Asia and Africa. As its name, "The Gate of Tears," indicates, traffic flows in both directions, with Arabs moving westward and African slaves eastward. West of the Bab el Mandeb rises the steep escarpment of the Ethiopian highlands, a refuge of prime historical importance, and between the highlands and the Red Sea stretches the Dankali Desert, parts of which lie below sea level. It is one of the hottest places on earth. [b]The peoples of this region are or nearly all products, in various degrees and in different forms, of a mixture between Caucasoids and Negroids.[/b] Except for slaves recently imported from the steamy marshes of the lower Sudan, the most Negroid people are the Wattas, hippopotamus hunters along the rivers of Somaliland and southern Ethiopia. They are an endogamous caste feared as magicians and despised because they et hippopotamus meat. As far as we know, they have been neither measured nor subjected blood-groups. Next most Negroid are the sedentary peoples of western Ethiopia who speak Central Cushitic languages: the Kafacitos, Soddo Galla, Sidamos, Agaus, and Falasha(Black Jews). These people are curly-or frizzy-haired, have dark brown skins, and are relatively short in stature. Their mean stature is about 164cm(5 feet 4 1/2 inches). their facial features are partly Negroid. The least Negroid peoples of the highlands are the Ethiopians proper--who speak Amharic, Tigre, and Tigrinya--and the Gallas. The former are descended from southern Arabians who invaded Ethiopia during the first millennium B.C., and the latter from the cattle people who entered the highlands from the west in the 16th century A.D.[/QUOTE]- [i]Living Races of Man[/i] [/QB][/QUOTE]
