My sources aren't on the net. I read. Many african tribes trace their origins outside africa - to the middle east. Not east africa. Mankind may have originated in east africa, but THAT mankind must have moved away from there soon after. DNA age CAN be determined.

And Horus, your theory doesn't even make sense.
Which African tribes trace their origins outside Africa? Are you speaking of Berber North Africans?
I said the origins or specific point of the the first man or his group are still ambigious. The origins of the first set of Africans hypothesized to have populated the world originated mostl ikely from east africa if you agree with the OUt of Africa theory.

When you say these tribes trace their origins outside Africa are you spekaing or Y chromosone DNA(unchanged) or Mtna DNA derived from females.

if its Mtna then i will agree many east and north Africans have a high concentration of Mtna from neighbouring West Asia/middle east. other Africns have a high concentration of the L haplogroup which is only found in Africa alone.

Atheism:
There is scientific evidence to show that most of southern europe had similar complections to north africans, until the expansion into western europe brought in the "extreme" caucasian genes (blue eyes, blonde hair, etc).
please what is your definition of caucasian using the quote above. Are southern europeans of today not grouped into this term despite these exteme 'caucasian' genes differentiating the north from the south. A southern european is caucasian, a norther european is caucasian, a north African is considered caucasion even some ethiopians are considered caucasoid.  Why is the reverse not used when defining extremities in so called "Negro' Africa.

Why are the southern Negros refered to as such and then there is a completely different definitiion for Northern Africans who carry a good amount of Sub saharan genotypes and their subsets.

@Morpheus
Apart from the "bushmen" of south africa, the current negroid mitochondrial DNA is newer than several asian and european DNA.
Can you give a source on the above. What does this information suggest or imply in the context of which grous appeared first.

while studies have shown that the original migrations out side of Africa of humans began with a group of eastern Africans "most likely somewhere in ethiopia."  the exact  position the orignal men "originate" from is still ambigious. Can you explain why your Personal opinion suggests a North African location.

BEWARE: white south africans usually go around nigerian and SA forums disguised as black SA to spread enmity between nigerians and black SA.
I am agreeing with you on that. I even caught one on another board.

Please beware most SA that talk like this are either coloreds or disgruntled White south Africans who are looking for escape goats to blame their loss of power and prestige in the New South Africa.

On the other hand Zulu people are known as agitators when it comes to SA ethnic groups.

Black depends on what context you are using it.

There were slaves in the jesus era and they were blacks. There was also a thriving kingdom in Ethipia, did not mean tht they were the centre of the World. The New York of those days was Jerusalem, the epicenter of the world then, the melting pot of all nationalities.


There is no extra body except your own imagination. If Jesus ministered and preached for 3 1/2 years with his disciples, then on resurrection, if he is exactly the same, they will recognize him. That they failed to recognize him confirms the fact that his nature was changed. Mary seeing him as a gardener could only mean that he looked like a gardener and most hired help in those days were dark skinned. Jesus resurrected not as a white man, but as a coloured man. Tht would explain hy other disciples could neither recognize or believe him.

On another note, the early man is black, from scientific evidence. If the early man is black, then God's image and likeness is also black (he made us in his image). All descriptions of God (Dan 7:9 and Rev 1:15) describes someone of Negroid origin.

The earliest potrait of Jesus known to the Romans was that of a black man. The Romans knew this because the inprint of his face found on a cloth after resurrection was that of a black person.
Where do you conjure up these stories from?

What is your definition of a black man? Please I would like to know.
Christianity Etc › Re: Were Ancient Egyptians Fair Or Dark Skinned? by morpheus24: 3:41pm On Aug 27, 2009
Ancient egyptians were African and therefore it is correct to say their adaptations would include dark skin as much of Africa is.
Please note that the definition of "black" depends on who is using it and in what context.

The definition of causcasian is ambigious in nature and therefore should not be used in conjucture with color of skin.

The egyptians have been depicted as possesse a pigmentation consistent in Africa in both written documentation as well as wall paintings.

The constant pull back and forth by eurocentrists and Afro centrist about what morphology and skin tone the egyptians were is a distraction to their true identity.

What can be said is that it is very obvious that an Average ancient egyptian did not look like a Nordic european and therefore can not be categorized as such neither did they look like and average Yoruba man. Their closet relatives should be the ancient ethiopians and ancient northern berber tribes.

Africa is exteremly diverse phenotypically as well as genotypical so to say light or dark is putting them in simplistic contexts.

I believe in pragmatism and not waiting for 'the incorruptable guy' that might not come in my generation's life time.
Don't mistake me for a dreamer. I am very much realist

However the fact does still remain such men do come by once in a lifetime.

You might wait for eternity for that until the various constitiuents that make up the country come to a viable way and option of running the country.Also not every successful country in europe is homogenous eg spain.
They do come once in a generation. There are some men who are incorruptable.

True, it would take the movement of heaven for powers to even consider the position. If we reach that discussion, it would be because there is some sort of cataclysm threatening every comfort (legal and illegal) in the country and the only alternative is negotiation. In that light, it would be possible for agreements to be reached and enough time for the powerful to release their grip without losing face.

In my opinion, we are now approaching a do or die moment in Nigeria, I'm sure we'll rather sit down and talk than die.

If an agreement is reached and the various entities in the current agglomeration begin exploring and actualising their revenue potential; there will be such an explosion of financial opportunities all round that there should be minimal resistance.
I agree with the threat of war as a negotiating tool to effect compromise or effect change as some block heads won't move an inch until someone scares the bejesus out of them, However I am petrified that this power is growing in the hands or may fall into the hands of individuals who I deem incompetent and whose actual motive is not the actualization of a stable nigeria but really are a disgruntled few who want a piece of the pie.

They are not out for the people. The RUF started in this same fashion. Look at what they did to their own brothers. In the end was there real progress in sierra leone. I guess thats for the next generation to judge.

As for Nigeria I have seen no politician nor group with the principles that demonstrate true patriotism even within a given ethnic groups.

Until I hear and recognise that voice, Truthfuly I don't really know what the answer is.

I agree with you!!! I did not state that any scientist has stated that the universe started from nothing. Slow down, and you will understand my basic premises. We cannot jump too far ahead in a discussion of this nature or we will easily get lost.

I did indicate that this is a very profound discussion which needs to be taken step by step.

We both agree that the universe did not come out of nothing - very good! We will take it step by step from there.

I started it from zero, because you may not be aware that some persons would go so far as to contest that and state that it could have come from nothing. Like i said, we are building a pyramid here, every block has to be in place, dont worry, its 1 careful step at a time

Why do you say so?
Judging from how most African countries move at a snail's pace when trying to implement policy, that time frame looks unrealistic. even if such a resolution/contract is passed, the resistance by the old clergy is inevitable irrespective of ethnicity. It will take time for the weaning process znc z gradual ushering out of these people to be replaced by people who have proven tract records to strict adherance of law.The contract must be supported by a firm structural process. The process must be backed by strict rules and regulations which must be enforced without prejudice or favor.

I can't see this being complete in span of 5 years.

@morpheus24

I missed your post above (I'm one of those really slow typers)

I see where you are coming from when you talk about our social culture.
A contract unique to Nigeria cannot be realistically followed to the letter immediately. There will need to a period of years (I would suggest 5) for all states to wean themselves off revenue from the FG, begin paying taxes to the center and build their local instituitions. That period would also serve as a time for every individual to get used to the new realities.
5 years  is much too early for this process to even take effect.
