[QUOTE]Originally posted by Elijah The Tishbite: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Askia_The_Great: [qb] As a person who has actually been to the Horn(Ethiopia) and East Africa(Kenya/Tanzania), and has Ethiopians in my family some notes... 1. Skin tones alone does not tell us anything about one's admixture. East Indians are extremely dark and yet are genetically distant from Africans. 2. Among Horners there are different skin variations. Some like the Tigreys who I have met in person are VERY LIGHT. Not all Horn of Africans are as dark as "West Africans." And heck different West-Central Africans have skin variations and aren't all the same. But as for Horners at least the Cushitic ones, the average skin tone I constantly see among them is a "bronze" like skin tone. Again this coming from experience. 3. Who has argued that the average Horner is 50% Eurasian??? Horn of Africans have differing levels of Eurasian admixture. Heck I never even seen the most Hamitic supremacist Somali argue they are 50% Eurasian, maybe 40-30%. [/qb][/QUOTE]I never said they were all one skin tone, I said that on average they are dark people, though not as dark as Dinka and Nuer who are the darkest Africans. I once was stationed at Camp Lemmonier in Djibouti for a year as a contractor, and although there some light people the majority were dark as in medium brown to a deep brown. As for admixture I can't see them being nor more than 30% admixed. These admmixture sofwares can't differentiate between recent common shared ancestry via OOA and "Eurasian" mixture [/QB][/QUOTE]
