interesting article. . .the section under the heading Mulatto Moors also . . .but it might be interesting to note, that the word ‘mulatto’ is in fact a word of French origin meaning Mule . . .it is not the kind of word that should be used to describe black people in this modern era . . .at the time of its popular use from its earliest origins, it was meant very much so as a derogatory expression . . .it can be equated with today’s taboo noun, ‘nigger’ , yet it carries the even deeper meaning that an offspring of a white male or female (horse) and a black female or male (donkey) , can only be a mulatto (mule), which in turn, is incapable of producing ‘anything’ ! (mules cannot reproduce) .

Palaeopeasant and Jahdey,
You are both behaving like Cain and Abel. You need to buy a BBC DVD on human journey out of Africa. You will both see how stupid the human beings are.

The population of one single world came out of one single woman from Africa. So whether east or west Europe, north or south Africa, central America, or Asia, they all came out of Africa. We have to thank god for the gift of DNA knowledge. Now we know that what pulled the world together, is more than what pushed us all apart.

One of the problems with comments on this site is that people are not aware of the early physical anthropologists usage of terminology. For example “Mechtoid” and Cro-Magnons were originally claimed to be Caucasoid or proto-Europids due to Eurocentric racism. It has long been known however that “Mechta” man was directly ancestral to sub-Saharan African types (see Chamla and Wendorf) and the dolichocephalic long-headed Cro-Magnons had in fact tropical traits. “Cro-Magnon” was in fact a generic term for early holocene man in Europe and most of them had “Negroid” traits and were long-headed. The broad-headed Cro-Magnons discovered were probably more European in appearance.

The “Mezikes” are called an Ethiopian people in one Roman source. The word Maurusioi was often used in that time for black north Africans who were the Berbers and never for fair skinned peoples who have mixed with them. The early term Berber or Berberi was used only for East Africans and their Tuarek (or Sanhaja, Ketama, Amashek) descendants in the Sahara and North Africa. The people found in early Berber tombs were all long-headed like the Tuarek and other dark skinned Berbers (lamta, Iforas, Kunta, Nafusa, Massufa, etc.) Fair-skinned Berbers tend more toward brachycephalic and mesocephalic indices of their non-Berber ancestors.
There are no references to fair-skinned Maures or Berbers before the 11th century anywhere. The “near black” Kabyles mentioned in 19th c. colonial history books are of different origins from the fair skinned Kabyles who have their origins either recent or early proto-Greeks and possibly the Kelts as shown by their culture, broaches, pottery blood groups palm prints, and Balkan dress, etc. It is not certain they came to North Africa as the protoGreeks or as late comers. The fair-skinned Chaouia have also kept alive the oral traditions of Roman origins.
Also, the earliest Libyans as shown in the books of Nina Davies and Oric Bates were in fact not fair in color, but dark brown – a non-hairsute people, wearing small beards and long braids.
Modern Berber-speakers are originated from different areaas of the world including Turkey or Central Asia, southern Europe and Africa. Yes -dark skinned Tuareg related people (the least modified Berbers) have mixed with other sub-Saharan Africans but far more Berbers have mixed with European types of people which is why today many of the fair-skinned Berbers in fact think they are purer than Tuareg. This is highly unfortunate and the result of European influence in North Africa.

Moors improved maths to the limit. They were like 500 years beyond the europeans. Territory wasnÂ´t really defined at that time. Life was cheap (so is today) and war seemed to be the way to achieve greatness among other cultures. They had their golden age. People tend to see black as an inferior group because mostly white people were seen like that at the golden age of muslims. Guess who invented algebra, spacial geometry and everything related to maths and science in general. Black people is healthier and more athletic so you should consider how they prevailed to diseases, except for the white people. I have mostly moorish and arab genes, IÂ´m white and thereÂ´s some sense of innate knowledge about this.

Doing research is fine, but you must use perception and logic, european culture is built under the tombs of their enemies. People just canÂ´t accept it because their ancestors were proudless slaves.

Europe has also a pagan past, which is growing up fast right now.

People writes what they want to remember, and see what they want to see, and this is why oral tradition show the values of older cultures.

we are to bow at the alter of all great and wise white academia any time they put one of their bogus title in front of their name . anthropologist as white academia has present it is little more then one of their tools used to obscure the line between the black man and all the other hues of people on earth whom came from the black man in the first place . the people of the sahara are called white blacks in H.G.WELLS book OUT LINE OF THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD . WHITE BLACK? how can you be white black unless you where mixed with black . this term is used in a reckless attempt to hide the fact that these people are mullatos mixed with black after many centuries of invasion
