I think you havent studied the subject matter deeply.The relationship btw niger-congo with bantus as a example with nilo saharan with nilotes as example is solidifying to extend its now thought niger-congo is actually a branch of nilo-sahara.The afro asiatic is also related except maybe for semites where a branch has levant origin..arabs $ jew..otherwise the Chadic afro-asiatic are closely related to east Africa cushites despite living 2000kms away from each other.Africa origin of Afro-Asiatic points to Chad..only one branch of (semite) dont mostly live in Africa - the rest of 4 branches have always lived in Africa - and yet all Afro-Asiatic would love nothing more than Middle-eastern/Levant origin. In summary there is compelling evidence from language, genetics and history that point to Lake Chad basin as homeland of all modern day Africans except the Khoisans. The Khoisan have West Eurasian ancestors - and you can see with their facial features - squinted eyes, small bodies and etc.I know for religious and other reasons all Africans would love to associate with middle east semites (arabic & hebrew jew) - but they'd be very surprised to know the old testament was actually written stories from Lake Chad. Lake Chad now is a very small lake - most of it covered by desert- but it's Africa biggest basin - and with Nile basin - most of modern day Africans (Niger-Congo, Nilo-Sahara & Afro-Asiatic) most likely traces their origin there - before they split. Maybe the semites belong to Levant - mesopotamia basin - but certainly majority of the rest of Afro-Asiatic - chadic (Hausa), berbers, cushites (somalis, oromos) are african. Hati13: 1 Like |

TayserMahiri: Not all Sudanese are nubians, and the term Nubians were not a collective group, but it consist of many different nationalities. However there is a difference between the Nuba people from the Nuba mountains, than Nubians. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdtA7oKmlWU This group above is depicted http://archive.is/rPypk#selection-19.0-26.0 [img]https://archive.is/rPypk/47eb7150f4e59696f915381a7a6af235b7592f36.jpg[/img] and these are people from the Nuba mountains, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OylCfLgiZak [img]https://www.tourprom.ru/site_media/images/news/20837/nubiitsy.jpg[/img] and both groups was represented although they were separate, one group always resided south, while the other was more or less in various time in history part of Egypt. Egyptian art also depicts a regional distinction in Nubian physical types.24 During the Old and Middle Kingdoms, Egyptian rule extended to around the third cataract. Nubians are portrayed with skin of varying shades of darkness, distinctive dress and the facial features of an Egyptian.

Question why do you guys think the white dude have the clear understanding on the subject…Thats the problem with Africans. We don’t believe ourselves (an got nothing to do with science)..look white dude comes n tell you where ya all come from then believe it 100 % then rubbish the folk tales of our ancestors coz this is 21st century n the white guy is always correct….Funny thing some of the called proof got no scientific backing….please wake up and smell the coffee 1 Like |

I am talking about old testament pre-exodus; Genesis, Noah flooding (actually Lake Chad flooding) and the likes were old stories copied from Africa.Majority of the bible of coz is recent history 2,000 that centers around the Jews. mtisTheQubit: |

Scientist or academicians are not "white dudes". The rigors of research and science would eliminate such bias. And those researchers still consider oral histories - as a source but ultimately majority if not all of Africa oral history is only believable by small kids. Just like the bible is only believable by really stupid people. mtisTheQubit: |

You need to really study history. I am talking you going from 100yrs to 1,000yrs to 10,000yrs to 20,000 yrs. The bible is semitic story - the semites are afro-asiatic - who either lived in Africa or Middle East - obviously using just common sense it appears they lived in Africa - because 5 out of 6 of Afro-asiatic live in Africa. The old testament - genesis and all those five books - is collection of old semitic stories - about their origin - more like your oral history passed generation from generation - mtisTheQubit: |
Re: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by rvp2018: 8:53am On Sep 30, 2018 |
Let me repeat that again - the Bible is semitic oral history only believable by small kids. It's akin to stories you hear about Maasai descending from heaven with a dog or something as inane as that. The bible starts as collection of very old oral history of semites (in this case the hebrews) then proceed to the "modern" recorded history about 2,000 yrs ago under the roman empire (christianity - which jew reject) or Islam (arabic copy paste). Rain induced flooding legends was common legend - around Lake Chad - and Jews at that time - most likely lived in Lake Chad basin together with proto-bantus, proto-nilotes, proto-cushites etc. mtisTheQubit: |

Re: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by rvp2018: 9:07am On Sep 30, 2018 |
I am just helping your with condensed history - based on evidence and facts - not idiotic oral histories - do you think unschooled Africa has a concept of North or South - which are scientific construct that are as old as compass - so when you come and say Merus or I don't know who claim to come from Misri or North - you're just parroting child stories like Genesis in the Bible? So let me help you again. At the time the start of bible - we are talking about 6,000 yrs ago. At that time - the Bantus did not exist - neither did the Jew exist. That period based on science - proto-current africans - most likely lived together as one tribe - speaking one language - most likely settled either in 3 or 4 areas - Lake Chad (huge basin that occupied 10% of Africa), Nile basin (extending from Sudan to Egypt to Ethiopia) or the Levant(middle east -Mesopotamia basin- Syria-Iraq) - as sedentary farmers. The rest of Africa was populated by small bands of Khoi-sans - the aboriginals - who are west asians based on dna. The bantus existed around 4,000-3,000 yrs ago as seperate people and language - most likely in Cameroon - meaning they most likely moved south from Lake Chad or Nile Basin - still as farmers. They would disperse - and keep differentiating - into the current tribes. The Nilo-saharans and Afro-asiatic would adopt pastoralism with desertification - and similarly disperse mostly north and east wards. They would be seperated from Bantus by sahara desert belt and tse tse fly belt. You can say for example kikuyu is closely related to Merus - then to Kambas - then Chaggas & Sukumas - then Hutus/Kongos - then Igbo/Yoruba - then to pre-bantu/proto-bantu - then to Jew/Nilote/Berber/Somali - then older humans - all stretching to about 200,000 yrs!! - then you start jumping to chimpanzees and monkeys as your cousins - and eventually to bacteria as greater cousin - and single celled Amoeba about a billion years as probably your ancestor as a living thing. mtisTheQubit: 1 Like |

There is nothing conclusive - this is history - but we go with most compelling evidence - and history get revised with new evidence. You need more than oral history though - because now we've got genetics of plants, animals & people have really studied languages, climates, and dug up deserts & forests - and discovered lots of stuff - that continue to buttress these theories - not by white man - but by brilliant scientist. mtisTheQubit: 1 Like |

rvp2018: First , this overall generalization of stuff like new scientific evidence n like is just BS to scare folks to toe the line but smart people think outside the box… Second wasn’t much interested in the migration debate but kikuyu1 assertion pulled me back. First I thought the guy was crazy but more digging on the matter led to unsettling conclusion that most African tribes had common tales of migration from the north even before Christianity or Islam was introduced in Africa..an we talking of guys from east ,west and south Africa. Question… Did they all make up those stories?… 1 Like |

rvp2018: Ancient Egyptians were farmers who grew food crops such as wheat, barley, vegetables, figs, melons, pomegranates and vines. Your assertion that Bantus could only become pastoralists shows you dont even have an idea what part of the world we are talking about. Not Libya, not Algeria, not Morocco. Egypt!

rvp2018:Afroasiatic origin was in Ethiopia not Chad. I don’t know why you wan to relate this group with Chad. Even Semitic branch origin was in Ethiopia. Those proto-Semite who stayed in Ethiopia became the ancestors of EthioSemitic speakers while those who went to the Middle East became the ancestors of non-Africa Semitic speakers. All humans including Africans originated in Ethiopia. Khoisan are African origin. Again I don’t know where you are getting your informations from. 2 Likes |

Hati13: Wenedem, you are definitely playing Ethiopian politics now. Theres a lot of literature showing that Oromos were part of Kush, including that their civilization could have led to the development or at least played a part. The problem with Ethio history is things get messy when Oromos are involved. Non-Oromos (essentially govt elements) assert that Oromo had nothing to do with the empire with some very fishy motives. I really dont know why you folks detest Oromos that much. On the other hand, Oromos claim most of Kush (and Nubian) history is fake with an agenda to marginalize them, and they are the real owners. Do you know one Dr. Megalommatis? He is an Oromo intellectual. 1 Like |

rvp2018: What a disingenuous job you're doing misinforming people. If something is not your forte please dont force it and dont make things up. What the hell? Khoisan are related to other Africans and largely so from the San end. Remember Khoisan is an amalgamation of two ancient tribes, the Khoikhoi and the Sans. They must have told you that in History. This is the story from DNA. About 140,000 years ago human populations from East or Central Africa moved southwards and “colonise” western southern Africa. The probable nearest living relatives of these source populations are: One last thing, humanity's relationship is not hierarchical as you claim. Its a Network! The relationship between Khoisans and other people, for example, is not ladder-like. You are doing terrible injustice to knowledge. 2 Likes |
