Can you blame other Africans 160 million plus vs smaller African populations is INTIMIDATING, although they won't admit it.

1 in every 5 African walking the planet is Nigerian.

If you remove Egypt and some other North African populations it comes down to something like 1 in 3.

Thats scary!!!!

Na serious Beef!!

Poof! begun you wench.

PAGAN 9JA:
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.

There is no arguement on my part with the above

GenBuhari:
^^ enlighten us

Now that would make it too easy on you and you wouldn't really learn would you?

Start with the reason for his Divorce from Winnie and how her involvment in "torture" would prove detrimental to his "reconciliation" principles.

Haven't you wondered why he was not heavily criticized about that move, with the South African's knowing fully well the contributions of Winnie through the years.

Hmmm?

GenBuhari:
Nelson Mandela is ok, but I am disappointed by some of his actions on release from prison.

He has been very pro-west and this were the same countries that helped to keep him locked up for so long.

He divorced his loyal wife within weeks of release, I see her as more of an African hero than him!

His chose a white PA wtf

My rule of thumb is to always be suspious of any African leader that is praised and idolised by white / western nations, they are usually to compliant with western policies to be a true hero.

Goes to show how much you know about the man. You an outsider would question what millions of South Africans have come to understand. Please do more research

You need to tell those "blacks" to come bck to their countries.

[quote author=tpia@ link=topic=878447.msg10288161#msg10288161 date=1330391362]what are we supposed to be celebrating here?

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

so? [/quote]We are celebrating the fact that outside of your "Yoruba" kingdom , there are people who see beauty in diversity

God speed on your recovery.

Africans wish you well!!

Good Girl:
These Malagasy people actually remind me of the inhabitants of[b] Pate Island in Lamu (Kenyan Coast), [/b] 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.

Learn about what is really going on in Africa. We need to UNITE as one!! We need to have a common language (KiSwahili) and unite under pan-africanism.

Join the movement to learn more: http://www.facebook.com/pages/THE-REUNION-OF-BLACK-FAMILY-WORLD-WIDE/137580649597223

We already have a common language. I think you mean common African language. That will only happen naturally as regions and peoples begin to merge once they begin to interact more closley with one another as they break down social barriers.

As for Pan Africanism. This can only be a function of economic development which necessitates a trade with the "white man" for technology while maintaining a very closed society as in the case of China's technique.

A test case for the importance of technology and skills development is Botswana,  which educates it youth abroad but repartriates students and skilled workers. Mind you the incentive to come back is based on the potential of Botswana's economic growth potentials and political stability. Something West Africans are struggling with.

more malagasy peoples

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.

[quote author=One_Naira link=topic=878447.msg10265762#msg10265762 date=1330097720]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, [b]someone ignorant of their diversity might assume khosian as more asian influenced than malagasy.[/b]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.[/quote]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

[quote author=One_Naira link=topic=878447.msg10265636#msg10265636 date=1330096760]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[/quote]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

some more pics of malagasy peoples

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.

More malagasy

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 !!!

i'm concerned about my own opinion i bliv i can be successful right here without having to run out likewise my unborn kids.it does not mean i can't go on vacation anyway

@Cdoffx

Have you ever wondered why every Western T.V program, Movie or commercial,  you watch has a 95% WHITE cast when US population statistics represents a large makeup of many ethnic and racial groups. The only shows that are representative of minorities are ones where some sort of crime is involved. Hmmm

You can never live in another man's land and expect to live as a 1st class citizen in the real sense no matter how much human equality the west tries to intergrate into their social structures. You either find a niche that you can dominate and exploit in his world or you build with what has been passed on to you by your fore fathers and is unequivocally yours by birth right and descent.

The White man has beeen at this game for hundreds of years. You cannot beat him at his game. You will loose!!

Solution: Play your own game and play it well

@cap
i actually understand what it may look like living out there.just 2days ago a friend was telling me he'll want to have his children abroad to claim dual citizenship and have right like the oyinbos i just laughed at him and told him none of my kids will be born outside the shores of Nigeria. i've learnt that you don't need to argue with some people its just like whippin a dead horse.

You also need to advise some people on this forum that as a consequence of his new found patriotism to the African continent, he needs to denouce his foreign citizenship status as well cause technically speaking not Nigerian-born.

cap28:
bros you've got me wrong im not like that at all - i seek to open the eyes of my brothers and sisters with knowledge - if only you know what we go through out here in the so called west you will pity us - you guys aare surrounded by people who see you as their brothers and sisters - here they look at us as inferiors no matter our level of education or acheivements in life. I am with you bros and i am coming home soon to be among my people.

Finally some progress

Three cheers for our Comrade!!!!

Black people are the original people so whenever humans started blacks started.

Not to go off topic but Who told you that?
When did human's start?
What constitutes an "original" person?
If black people are original people are other people thus "unoriginal"
What bearing does that have on anyting in particular?

igbo2011:
"Adam and Eve" were black.

I am not even gonna touch this one

igbo2011:
It isn't a conspiracy theory. WAKE UP!!! Take an international relations class and you will learn the same thing. Watch foreign news sources and you will learn more. CNN, FOX, and BBC are biased and lie all the time.

The mere fact that there are human beings who exist to accumulate power, wealth and prowess at the expense of "other people" built around systems they create and manipulate, cannot be taken as a codemnation of one 'group' of people seperated from you on the basis of their skin tone  or an affimation that these same tendences do not exist within these "righteous" people who proudly call out the injustices.

Morphes says "BE careful what you stand for so it does not become the very thing you fall for"

East Africa's COMESA and Southern Africa's SADc are better positioned to integrate their economies compared to a loosely knit ECOWAS. We have too many regional issues to even contemplate that idea in the next 8 years. It is quite ridiculous to consider that option.

Intra African trade is below 10% with m sot of the regional trade going on in the east and the south. Most West African states are way behind in terms of democratic initiatives that will faciliate trade and as a bloc we virtually produce nothing to exchange with each other that is of significant value add from the primary/ raw material stage.

Danka7777:
.Have you asked yourself, how did our forebears survived without Christianity or Islam?

As a matter of fact, some of us have

Answer: We formulated our own religious beliefs

Danka7777:
we Africans need to know, the bible as we know it today was written based upon ancient African literature and proverbs. If you take a cursory look at the 10 commandments handed down to Moses, around 4000-6000 yrs ago (remember I mentioned a while ago that Blacks have lived on this planet for 50,000 yrs ago, which means they were here before Moses, Christ, e.t.c) these commandments were actually taken out from ancient African proverbs.

My dear fellow the above is a lot of heresay. Can you point us to some convincing fact including the claim that black people were around 50,000 years ago or the ten commandments were extrapolations of Africna proverbs. Who are you getting that information from.?
