[/qb][/QUOTE]. Africans aren't inferior. We're more than capable. Remember W Afrs exceed AngloSaxons in academics. Maybe this journal will eventually solicit and publish population genomic research related to origins and flow. For the nonce continental Africans have other more immediate concerns (like health).

As such, facial indices serve as prominent identification tools in combination with fingerprint patterns for biometric and forensic purposes in the developed world. However in Ghana, although emphasis is placed on the face in the photographic recognition systems used in the issuance of passports, very little information is available on facial phenotypes and its prevalence with respect to ethnicity and sex. Therefore, the aim of this study was to classify the facial types among the Dagaabas and Sisaalas in the Upper West Region of Ghana. In the study, a total of 387 healthy individuals (202 females and 185 males), between 18 and 60 years of age were recruited. The study main finding was that, the males had higher facial height and breadth than females. Facial indices were recorded as 98% and 99% for female and male Dagaabas respectively. The Sisaala male and female participants’ facial indices recorded 102% and 104% respectively. Thus as high as 83% and 72% of the Sisaalas and Dagaabas respectively had hyperleptoprosopic facial type. © 2019 Published by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of African Institute of Mathematical Sciences / Next Einstein Initiative.[/QUOTE][/qb][/QUOTE]Hopefully, I will check out this journal. Considering the lack of government funding fir scientific endeavours in Africa< i suppose we should also be willing to pay for this journal's services. And I also remember an all-African modern genetic study from Botswana related to an investigation into HIV. So I think the intellectual capacity is there; what is missing is the funding, equipment and experience. [/QB][/QUOTE]
