East Africans have high degrees of Caucasoid admixture since the beginning. What's so hard to accept and understand?! It would be easy to accept if Caucasoids had their origins in Africa, but they obviously don't. They developed outside the continent and the only way back in it is through migration. That obligatory migration is obvious in North Africa, but there is no proven pre-Semitic Caucasoid migration into East Africa. If anything, we should be saying Caucasoids look similar to East Africans, not the other way around.

West Africa? I dunno. There are plenty of 'true Negro' looking people in Sudan, Kenya, etc, maybe even the interior regions of today's East African coastal countries. Not that far away.

I have to admit I find this very convincing, east africans being predominantly their own type adapted for their geography, and not a congoid-arab mixed population.

before you let these pictures go to your head and what Charlie and his cronies would like to to believe...It doent change the fact that East Africans are partly Caucasoid derived .

Those aren't Caucasoid looking east Africans like Ethiopians and Somalis those are negroid nilotids like Masai and Dinka from Sudan and Kenya....
...And their eyes aren't blue at all...

I dont think they denied some admixture, close populations always mix, there are arabs at the other side of the red sea, but they are predominantly their own thing, not an hibrid population like latin american mestizos or central asia turanids.

I've seen enough Somalis and Ethiopians to know most of them are jet black and nappy-headed by my skin standards atleast. I'm pale-"yellow". ;D Actually many have wavy, curly or even straight hair...And most of them are dark Brown not jet Black!

It's pretty easy to tell which Horners are mixed and which aren't.

I believe the Aethiopids as some may call them have looked like this since the begening. I doubt semetic admixture has anything to do with it, becuase the oldest cushites the Agew and Oromo/sidama/somali trace thier ancestral homeland in northern Sudan at least 4000 years ago. A large semetic population has not been found in that area.
Somalis and ethiopian highlanders like the Amhara, Tigray and Hararis have a large semetic influence, so a better example of aethiopid would be the Oromo as they have the purest blood in the horn.
The african popultion in the arab world comes mainky from the slave trade that centred around Zanzibar and the east african coast from Kenya to Mozabique and the Sudan in the North.
