Been continuing my studies on origins of African people and came across the inhabitants of Madagascar who are regarded as an equal DNA blend of Africn and Asian peoples( more recent arrivals).

This just goes to show that if you strip social stratifications imposed by "some" people who seek to structure world populations in a way the see fit. it is a natural tendency for humans to merge BIOLOGICALLY, SOCIALLY and PHYSICALLy to form new variations  without much infighting.

see pics below. They almost are a perfect blend of Asian and African. FASCINATING !!!

More malagasy

Even though, I have a verrrrrry strong preference for my own people, these people are a interesting blend.

I am hoping to go there in the near future to get a first hand look at the countires beauty and people.

PS I was also trying to get more info on the Beja people of Northern sudan and their relation to ancient egyptians and bedouins that migrated into the North African region.

some more pics of malagasy peoples

The Khosian actually look more asian influenced than they do even though the Malagasy probably has more asian inflence than them.

Interesting peeps they are though. I love the pictures

I actually considered the similarities. They share similar facial morphologies though the khoisan have much stronger features, pepper corn hair texture and deeper eyefolds.   see comparison btw khoi and malagasy

Yes that is what I meant. The similarities is very evident between the two but just looks alone, nothing else considered like DNA and ancestry link, but just from a glance, someone ignorant of their diversity might assume khosian as more asian influenced than malagasy.
Though the similarities is every evident in both but one falls within the waterpool of asian while the other resemble a blend of both the waterpool of asians and africans.

It is rather interesting imo.

African geno and phenotype is known to carry the most variants of any human population on earth which lends credence to the theory that human beings originate from the continent. The more diversity the greater the evidence of the source code for human beings

Here is what i found Morpheus24 but it is not much.

The above is from the magazine Sudantribune. It seems you have great interest in pharaonic and meroitic history, I am surprised you are not a archaeologist. Northern Sudan has the local (Northern Sudanese), Egyptian, Asian, South African and European variety, but rarely other Africans that study or pursue this science, and there plenty of sites and new sites that are being discovered such as well preserved temples, cities, and other artifacts. They teach and have seminors about the history of the Nile valley in the University of Khartoum, Egypt, and even South African under the archaeological department, every year they find new temples or artifacts somewhere in the desert in Northern Sudan. Northern Sudan is a archaeologist paradise.

Appreciate the article.
I am very interested in the anthropolgy of African peoples with a concentration on genealogical aspects of different African peoples on the continent, archaelogy is not far behind as it is also a part of the equation.

Part of the impetus that led me to this passion has been the lack of research and understanding of African history (particularly in terms of genotypical and phenotypical biology)by Africans themselves leading to much interpretation and mis-interpretation by what I term as "outsiders" bringing adifferent perspectives to their observations.


Hopefully more people will be interested in these subject matters as I am beginning to become aware of on nairaland.

more malagasy peoples

These Malagasy people actually remind me of the inhabitants of Pate Island in Lamu (Kenyan Coast), who are also believed to have had Asian ancestors that later got assimilated by the natives of the island, mainly African. Maybe you should also do a study of their origin.

I have also always wondered whether the Goans of India do also have a blend of African and Asian genes.

Visually they seem to have south Asian ( indian) ancestory as opposed to Malagasy who are more Indo-malay asian. I will look into them though, never heard of them.

what are we supposed to be celebrating here?

most of the photos look like regular africans with a few looking asian.

so?

We are celebrating the fact that outside of your "Yoruba" kingdom , there are people who see beauty in diversity

The Khoisan are one of the purest ethnic groups in the world. The Khoisan (actually the San) may have been one of the first populations to differentiate from the most recent common paternal ancestor of all extant humans, the so-called Y-chromosomal Adam by patrilineal descent, estimated to have lived 60,000 to 90,000 years ago. The results should be interpreted as only finding that the Khoisan "preserve ancient lineages", and not that they "stopped evolving" or are an "ancient group", since subsequent changes in their population are in parallel and similar to those of all other human populations.

I am guessing the words "human trafficker" and "drug dealer" are not insultive words.

I will let you be the judge of that.

Hmmm?

OP
You should also speak of their culture, is there a similarity between their culture and Asian culture

One Naira; I like the fact you want to discover other cultures! that's very pleasant

The malagasy language is of asian origins with heavy influences from "bantu" speakers from Mozambic, and zanzibar.

is this a malagasay forum?
