LOL..so you're saying those girls are closer to "caucasoid" than "negroid"? Well, the left one is morphologically closer to Europoid, thats for sure, the right one is intermediate, probably even somewhat more Negroid. As I said above, the guys look all rather closest to Aethiopid, the 1 has somewhat West African to me, at least the first look, the 2nd looks more East African, like an Aethiopid with some Kafrid/Bantuid influence, the 3rd like some Sudanese people, so Nilotid with Berberid admixture probably, the 4th is impossible to classify with this picture alone, not even a wild guess like in the other cases... |

The guy on the left looks like he has 10% medit admixture. LOL..I don't think so why not? he can pass as having a Somali parent and one SSA parent. |

LOL..how did you come to this conclusion?Do you even know what that combo looks like?The guy looks like a pure Upper West African IMO.Plus Somali+non-somali/horner is not going to show a combination of traits for the most part like most mixes in the world.It's going to look like the other half.Which basically means you wouldn't see any Somali influence. |

LOL..explain why  Whats the reason for saying these guys look more Aethiopid rather than Nilotic since it seems you're basically saying they can't be "pure" Sudanid? |

You have to look at the shape of the eye region and nasal region alone to see that, but yes, they can't be typical Sudanids, they have in every case "non-Sudanid" influences, even if its all in the Negroid spectrum.
The left girl has just Europid morphology mostly, just look at her, even metrically she would be closer to a f.e. Mediterranoid Europid type than to most SSA populations.

Ok,hold up and forget about those subtypes for a minute because they really don't mean much IMO since I don't believe "true negro" stuff.Shouldn't they be considered "negroid" and don't they show "negroid" diversity? crazy...so basically you're saying the girl is a "dark" caucasian or a white person dipped in chocolate? ;D |

No, I just said morphologically closer to Europoid, so an Europoid type which would be selected for being just darker, but otherwise keeping all other features, would look almost the same.
But since Negroid is defined by f.e. skin type and hair form too, they are still rather Negroid, but the two girls at best intermediate, the left even more Europoid as I said, that doesnt make her a typical Europoid, but just MORE Europoid. There is often not just A+B but various form in between as well...

Since I didn't tell you the ethnicity of these people here they go.. 1.Malian 2.AA 3.Malian 4.Eritrean 5.All 100% Ghanaians  |

Yes, I do know what that combination looks like. First of all, I see Somalians all the time in the hospital. I see many Ethiopians and Somalians-many whom are married to Senegalese, Nigerian, Kenya, other African-Americans or to each other. My boyfriend has a co-worker who is 1/2 Somalian. His mother is Somali and his father is Nigerian. when I was a student teacher, there was an entire family of pre-schoolers who were 1/2 Ethiopian 1/2 American black. One of my co-workers named Firewayni is 1/2 Somalian and 1/2 SSA. Iman who is Somalian has a 1/2 SSA daughter who has similar features. |

So yes, many 1/2 Somali or Ethio mixes DO appear to have a combination of traits or look like either parent. It's basically a toss-up. I'm basing what that man looks like from what I've seen and he does look similar to them.

That shows how heterogenous that Northern WA are if compared with typical Nigerian ethnic groups of Sudanid and Palaenegrid character.

Excellent examples which still show a certain variation inside the Negrid core.
True, thats why I spoke about the main ethnic groups and those ethnic groups which are representative. Ethnic diversity doesnt equate racial diversity in Africa since we can see the opposite (less ethnic diversity but more higher ethnolinguistic and racial distances) in some other areas like Niger.

Duh, anyone can find the most extreme ones and post them as typical, which is the same trolling posts that abdul/antonio does. |
