Annoyed Natufian Woman

A Natufian woman from the Mesolithic Fertile Crescent rests on a log, sulking in an annoyed mood. I drew this to cope with my own irritated mood after encountering yet another example of ignorance online, and it turned out to be quite therapeutic indeed.

The mind-boggling complexities of Africa's 1,500 languages were clarified by Stanford University's great linguist Joseph Greenberg, who recognized that all those languages fall into just five families (see Figure 19.2 for their distribution). Readers accustomed to thinking of linguistics as dull and technical may be surprised to learn what fascinating contributions Figure 19.2 makes to our understanding of African history. (...) Concealed at the top of Figure 19.2 is our first surprise, a big shock for Eurocentric believers in the superiority of so-called Western civilization.

The next surprise in Figure 19.2 is a seeming detail on which I didn't comment when I just told you that distinct peoples tend to have distinct languages. (...) The fragmented distribution of Nilo-Saharan languages in Figure 19.2 similarly implies that many speakers of those languages have been engulfed by speakers of Afroasiatic or Niger-Congo languages. (...) If you look again at Figure 19.2, you'll see that the Niger-Congo language family is distributed all over West Africa and most of subequatorial Africa, apparently giving no clue as to where within that enormous range the family originated.

What is the exact origin of haplogroup E1b1b? And why do some claim it to be Eurasian in when E is an African haplogroup?

This is a very simple question, I am surprised why a few people here struggle to give accurate answers.The Origin of Haplogroup E1b1b is known by Academia to be located within the East African corridor of Horn of Africa, with the highest concentration in Somalia. Haplogroup E1b1b (formerly known as E3b) represents the last major direct migration from Africa into Europe. It is believed to have first appeared in the Horn of Africa approximately 26,000 years ago and dispersed to North Africa and the Near East during the late Paleolithic and Mesolithic periods. E-M78 and E-Z827 originated respectively at 20,000 years and 24,000 years. E1b1b lineages are closely linked to the diffusion of Afroasiatic languages.Prior to Mesolithic period of the Levant region, carriers of Haplogroup E from Africa settled in that region and were responsible for the Natufian Technocomplex practice later on.

Regrann from @mnycldfwx_ - @captainamerica__1 - Yamassee Nation If your roots are from the southeast (predominantly Georgia, Florida and the Carolinas) research the Yamassee Indian nation. We’ve been inhabiting Southeast North America for thousands of years but the majority of our origins are in what is now known as Me(Xi)co or Mesoamerica, South America, and the surrounding Islands of the Caribbean. Gullah/Guale Connection ⬇️ Guale has also been synonymous with Gullah or Gullah Geechee and Yamassee. Even though the Geechee are indigenous to the Americas, they always try to Africanize our history by saying we are descendants of the Transatlantic slave trade lol. We been here. Research the Gullah Wars, we fought for our ancestral land and freedom. I remember as a youngin, one of my favorite TV shows was "Gullah Gullah Island." Also how can a tribe be extinct if you just reclassified us as "Negro, Colored, Black, Afro American, and African-American" which aren't nationalities? They essentially wrote us out of history, that's why people say, "The pen is mightier than the sword." We are only extinct on paper 📝 #Yamassee #GullahGullahIsland #GullahWars #YamasseeWar #Georgia #Guale #Gullah #Creek #SpanishFlorida #Georgia #WestIndian #JackDForbes #PaleoAmerican #AutochthonsofAmerica #PaleoIndian #AfroAsiatic #RolandBDixon #AncientVoices #Australoid #ProtoNegroid #Moundbuilder #aborigine #PaperGenocide #PapalBull #InterCaetera #RomanusPontifex #TerraNullius #DumDiversas1452 #PopeNicholasV #AfricanAmericansAintAfrican #BibliotecaColumbina
