[QUOTE]Originally posted by BlessedbyHorus: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: I'm always willing to review my ideas. But there has never been evidence that the so-called "elongated African" phenotype is a result of climatic adaptation. It's a badly underdeveloped idea that has never been proven. Someone just said it and people rolled with it. Just like the notion that dynastic Lower Nubians are diet-adapted versions of Mesolithic Jebel Sahabans. This is just speculative research. In fact, it's not even research; someone just said it once and it has been repeated ever since. [/QUOTE]I never knew this was an undeveloped idea. I always remembered certain older studies supporting. However, I always assumed Horners at least got their features from climate adaption from their dry climate. And me visiting Ethiopia a few months ago the climate was very dry unlike the humid like one in West Africa. I assumed that Horners were the ones who brought the "elongated features" to certain Bantus and Nilotic groups in East Africa. As for the dynastic Lower Nubians vs Jebel Sahabans that definitely doesn't make sense imo. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: Microevolution is very real. But the notion that desert adaptation would change a broad featured African populations that much in the coastal Maghrebi/West Eurasian direction is complete BS. It's laughably stupid.[/QUOTE]Indeed.
