[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [qb]I am not arguing anything other than Bantus were always presumed to originate from northern migrations into the South. Not sure how you don't know that given your knowledge of Rightmire.[/qb] [QUOTE] Palaeoanthropological evidence in Africa, especially in Western and Central Africa is very scarce and difficult to obtain. Therefore, in order to try to understand present sub-Saharan African diversity and infer past evolutionary processes, most studies in Biological Anthropology have focused on historical populations (Hiernaux 1976; Rightmire 1976; Froment 1992a; Irish 1997). However, so far, Hiernaux (1976) and Rightmire (1976) are the only ones to have attempted to address the consequences of the Bantu-speakers expansion from a biological perspective. They viewed this dispersal not only as a simple linguistic and “cultural” homogenization, but they argued that various biological and ecological parameters were probably involved in this process. In fact, they considered that this complex phenomenon initially triggered by over-population and climate change, probably proceeded irregularly with advances and reverses, assimilating partially or completely native populations. According to results suggesting a clinal variation within sub-Saharan Africa, Hiernaux (1968) viewed the Bantu-speakers expansion as a continuous wave, spread over time and space. The latter although involving several populations, resulted in a homogenization with differences left mainly due to selective pressures. [/QUOTE] https://journals.openedition.org/bmsap/3873?lang=en [/QUOTE]I'm not familiar with Rightmire's work (that's DJ who said that). As I said to DJ, I don't read Rightmire as I consider him part of the 1970s decline of anthropology. [/QB][/QUOTE]
