[QUOTE]Originally posted by Oshun: [QB] We've already been over this sh!t Cass First let's blow up the map he's talking about: [IMG]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2a/Africa_Koppen_Map.png/634px-Africa_Koppen_Map.png[/IMG] [QUOTE] [QUOTE] [QUOTE][qb] When you evaluate Africa there are several ecological constructs, not two. Why would people from the other several ecosystems be characterized as one unit ("Sub Saharan") though their ecosystems are unique as well? [/QUOTE]Stop with the straw man arguments. I've never said there is a single Sub-Saharan African climatic/eco-zone, but the complete opposite. [/qb][/QUOTE]You defend the use of "Sub Saharan" which provides the illusion of a singular eco-zone outside of the Sahara. [QUOTE][qb]This is just the stupid straw man you made, I've covered it like 10 times... When we discuss Sub-Saharan Africa, no one is saying those different climatic/eco-zones cluster together; look at the Koppen climate map. [/qb][/QUOTE]Later he says ... [QUOTE][qb]Ok..., so next time I distinguish between Saharans and other regional populations, I will have to list half-a-dozen (or more!) separate climatic-zones, instead of convenience just saying Sub-Saharan Africa. :rolleyes: [/qb][/QUOTE]The Koppen-climate map doesn't mean people are describing Africans by the different environments they live in. It doesn't mean the word "Sub Saharan" in language magically describes the different ecosystems on similar terms. Many people don't even know about that map but they know what SSA is. SSA is used as a political construct to suggest there is one people and one ecology in Africa south of the Sahara. If you don't have a problem with a place as large and diverse as SSA being described under one label, you have little claim to then demand it for the Sahara because you suddenly care about distances and diversity. [/QUOTE]First he was whining about there being "too many" ecosystems and now he's using the same map in a new attempt to try arguing SSA is one ecosystem. [/QB][/QUOTE]
