S.O.Y. Keita - The Bio Cultural Origins of Egypt - Part 1

[aminimaleffort]

Howard university, hahahahaha!

[davidcici11]

I also have not commented on this video in six months, so I most likely commented the wrong person I am not entirely sure but your argument clearly makes me question if you were the one who responded to one of my comments. My mistake if I accidently commented you by mistake.

[davidcici11]

not solely atleast. And thanks for the quote nice one.

[davidcici11]

@JungleCityKilla oh no, don't get me wrong I don't confine to terms such as Negroid, or Caucasoid. I was just telling you a trend in Upper Egypt. Both are fundamentally African so it is rendered pointless to use one to mean Eurasian or African because their both African to begin with.

Yes, I know Keita doesn't use those terms in a taxonomy sense, but he did point out findings of Negroid tendencies in earlier anthropological works, Ancient Egyptians weren't just Elongated East Africans

[davidcici11]

@JungleCityKilla A lot of Africans can claim direct descent from the Ancient Egyptian, a reason why Keita states a Negroid trend in many of the earliest Upper Egyptians, and of much more southerly areas. Keita associates Egyptians with the Elongated African (East African), and broad Negro type. Both are fundamentally African, and were present in Ancient Egypt.

[inhumanhyena]

I read the origin of Afro-Asiatic languages originated in Sudan between the Nile and Red Sea

[davidcici11]

@KingQafex8 Keita believes that virtually all Africans are related through the PN2 and don't need certain skin complexions (light to dark) certain craniofacial certain features to not be genealogy related. Yes he does not use terms like black white, Negroid, Caucasian. He believes all Africans do not look alike but North Africans can be more related to West Africans in tropics, genealogy tells a different story. Many modern anthropologist don't believe the notion of race

[AfricaTeacher]

@davidcici11 Not "All" but Most. PN2 = the lineages that unites E1b1a in the West and E1b1b in the East.  This is the vast majority but leaves out E2, E1a, A and B, etc.

This is Similar with R1b1 Western and R1a1 Eastern Europeans both being united by R1 but you still have R2 in India/pakastan etc.

Keita is absolutely right on this. This as well as things he has said over 5 years ago are now starting to be echoed by other geneticist when they publish papers, sometimes word for word.

[davidcici11]

@AfricaTeacher yeah about 73% but other things that are only restricted to Africans such as A & B it pretty much submits that the entire continent is connected genealogy even though they all do not look alike externally it does not mean they are somehow not related.

His work pretty is highly acceptable by many modern conservative anthropologist he is highly respected

[monica24b]

Egypt is for all Africans. No matter the colour.

[jroccc823]

lmao white people still cant get the fact the the egyptians are black

[ulverup]

@jroccc823 lmao black people still won't admit that north africans = sub saharan africans linguistically and genetically

[AfricaTeacher]

@ulverup More nonsense and strawmen. They are not supposed to EQUAL them. The populations are not identical and no one here is arguing that they are. What science has shown is that one group is the parental ancestors of the other. There are similarities that they SHARE when it comes to linguistics and genetics. Nearly all of the flow has been proven to have went from South to North. If you have something to say make a clear argument, dont argue against false ideas not even created here.

[ulverup]

@jroccc823 i meant =/= instead of =

[MysticNinjaJay]

@KingQafex8 According to Keita the Ancient Egyptians resembled Northeast Nilotic Africans, Saharans and Horn Africans all people with medium to dark brown skin. Over the centuries Egypt absorbed foreigners from Europe and the Near East leading to the diversity we see today. He feels that modern Upper Egyptians and Nubians are the best representatives of the Ancient Egyptians. I know this because I emailed him recently to get direct answers on this. He doesn't use terms like Black or White.

[MrSesh84]

@KingQafex8 What does the modern mindset of African Berbers and Egyptians have do to with scientific fact? And where does Dr Keita deny the presence of blacks?

[oramikleepunk]

@LoneMyth Do you have a degree in Biological Anthropology like Dr. Keita and Spencer Well?

[lebaneseprince25]

afro-asiatic=blacks and asian mix

[oramikleepunk]

@lebaneseprince25 That is not true.

[lebaneseprince25]

@oramikleepunk but they were very few asian people living in ancient middle east in bc times

[oramikleepunk]

@lebaneseprince25 I think he is talking about the fair-skinned North Africans.They call them Afro-Asiatic.It's not the same as Asian.

[LoneMyth]

Hey shit face you want proof Egypt is not black here is proof.

Princessofthenile27 channel

[AfricaTeacher]

@LoneMyth LOL we will see, I posted to her page because she has a lot to learn. if you want to see how the discussion goes stick around or email her asking her to disprove anything I have said in my videos - Notice I rarely even bring up the term "Black."

I see you are Greek, you could be related to Neolithic colonizers from North Africa......LOL "Shit face" LOL. Dude really, get a life and go somewhere with the insults. If you (or her) want to discuss bio-genetic peopling of Egypt email me.

[LoneMyth]

@AfricaTeacher how did it feel you got owned by her

[AfricaTeacher]

@LoneMyth NO ownage here because you cannot own the truth. Your female internet friend is getting ready to go through a TEACHING SESSION on African genetics. I will not call her a liar because she doesn't know any better. ONCE she is Taught by me then she can lie all she wants but deep down she will know whats going on, That informations listed is a 7:42 and the annotation and notes are already listed in the descriptions of this video....almost 2 years ago.

[ulverup]

@AfricaTeacher yeah neolithic colonizers from north africa who were not BLACK

you don't belong to E1b1b , and you don't speak an afro asiatic language

sub-saharan and northern/eastern africans are related , but they're not the same , but i can't blame you from claiming them since you don't have much going on for you ( west africans ) in the history ) achivements departement

[AfricaTeacher]

@ulverup Strawman, No one is here trying to prove North Africans and Sub Saharan Africans are "The Same" Who made this argument? Few Africans are "The Same".

Furthermore No, i am not an E1b1b carrier, I am a E1b1a carrier. I have B2a, A1a, E2b1, E1a, and E1b1b carrying relatives. My extended family is diverse. Also I speak an Afro-Asiatic language as a second tongue while the third language I learn will probably be Chinese.

What does ANY of this have to do with the facts in the video?

[oramikleepunk]

@LoneMyth There are no white nor black races in Genetics LoneMyth.

[challengebytheword]

Why r people always trying to remove the Ther is such a hate and ignorance from the non-blacks heart to destroy us, whenever they can. Now their trying to say Ethiopians are from europeans; Ehtiopians are black people.

[hebrewmatrix]

the Afro Asiatic race do not have straight hair and pale white skin....

[oramikleepunk]

@hebrewmatrix Most of the ones I have seen and know are fair skinned.

[xtrashed]

Thanks for posting this!!

[AfricaTeacher]

Glad you enjoyed!

[phoenician7]

You ask: Where does Afro-Asiatic come from? Where does Ehret say the origin of Afro-Asiatic is?

"Our statistical tests of alternative Semitic histories support an initial divergence of Akkadian from ancestral Semitic over competing hypotheses (e.g. an African origin of Semitic). We estimate an Early Bronze Age origin for Semitic approximately 5750 years ago in the Levant,

CONT

[gzX9bVq6k]

According to linguistic research Proto-African-Asian languages originate in Africa and some people consider that part of the Levant consisted as part of northeast of Africa.

[AfricaTeacher]

Notice the desperate STUPIDITY of "phoenician7" who cannot differentiate "AfroAsiatic" from "Semitic"

Quite frankly i am TIRED of going back and forth with this ignoramus on this issue. How can people who speak a branch of an African language family NOT have influence FROM Africa?

That would be like "Mexicans" speaking Spanish but having NEVER been colonized nor influenced by SPAIN! Or NATIVE South Africans speaking Afrikaans with ZERO input or migration from the Dutch!

AMAZING STUPIDITY!

[jumz82]

@AfricaTeacher why bother brother all this guy "phoenician7" does is regurgitate the same old debunked disproved 19th-20th century nonsense all over you tube, we're in the 21st of the European calender, I mean their own new breed of anthropologist know all that noise of the past don't add up no more , save your energy and debate with people who clearly aren't deranged or as backward as this fool, peace

[bumperboy2sports]

@AfricaTeacher...THESE SILLY ASS EURO-CENTRICS ARE EVERY BIT AS FUCKING STUPID...I HATE WATCHING VIDEOS ON THE KEMET CULTURE AND THESE STUPID ASS EURO-CENTRICS REFER TO THE NUBIANS AS THE BLACK PHARAOHS...AS IF THE EGYPTIAN PHARAOHS WEREN'T BLACK...THESE CLOWNS NEED TO BE SOCKED RIGHT IN THEIR FUCKING FACES!!

[phoenician7]

Given all of the above, it is not possible to view the Abydos royal tomb sample as representative of the general southern Upper Egyptian population at the time. - Keita

[bigshirtblue]

@phoenician7 well here you can not block me.

just run and tuck your redneckcentric comments

[bigshirtblue]

@phoenician7 i have seen your silly constructed videos

what makes you think you are connected to egypt

how silly

[phoenician7]

Keita makes a distinction between the "Northern Egyptian Maghreb variant" and the "southern Egyptian Nilotic variant" Its clear that the variation in the Abydos royal tombs cannot be explained by the population of southern Egypt at the time. Notice he never equates tropical Africans or southerners as sub-Saharans.

And, FYI, his 'tropical africans' are about half Eurasian.

:)

[AfricaTeacher]

Bullcrap - NOW you are cutting and pasting directly from Mathilda' aka scruffy pair. What you are doing is SPAMMING MY PAGE. I have already warned you about that. Any point that you cant make in 1 or 2 posts PLEASE just email it!

Keitas southern Series consists of : Teita, Zulu, Dogon, and Bushman. NONE of which are "Half Eurasian"

[phoenician7]

You are scared. These quotes can be found DIRECTLY from Keitas own papers.

Teita, Zulu, Dogon & Bushmen were never Egyptians or in Egypt, "teacher".

[phoenician7]

I see you didn't have the nerve to refute the quotes I posted that Keita admitted to Caucasians in ancient Egypt. "northern-Egyptian-Maghreb and European patterns " etc.

I suppose if it was any other geneticist else you'd be complaining.

[phoenician7]

It might be likely that the greater percentage of haplotypes called Eurasian are predominantly, although not solely, of indigenous African origin Early hunting and gathering paleolithic populations can be modeled as having roamed between northern Africa and Eurasia, leaving an asymmetrical distribution of various derivative variants over a wide region, giving the appearance of Eurasian incursion. ( Keita, Boyce, 2005)

[phoenician7]

It is clear however from the unknown analyses that the Abydos centroid value is explained primarily by the relatively greater number of crania with northern-Egyptian-Maghreb and European patterns in the series.

This may denote the range of variation encompassed by the coastal northern pattern, given its intermediate position, or reflect the presence of middle easterners.

WAIT THERES MORE!

:)

[phoenician7]

A Palestinian series was found to overlap more with early Maghreb and Gizeh series than with those from southern Egypt. The distinct Palestinian core plotted between the northern Egyptian and European series. (Keita 1988)

OUCH!

[AfricaTeacher]

phoenician7 - if you want to finish this conversion PLEASE send me mail. People don't need to see our argument that which at this point is not pertinent to the VIDEO of Dr. Keita. It also pushes out legitimate comments from people that have issues with the VIDEO or the content of what KEITA SAYS - THAT is what should be argued about on this page. Not off topic nonsense about the 'female founders of Axum.'

[AfricaTeacher]

phoenician7 - Proto Hieroglyphs are found in the Nubain desert which are VERY OLD. Also the EARLIEST Ancient Egyptian writing has been dated to 3400 BC which predate all know writtten languages.

Do you homework. Actually spend some time and READ THE STUDIES. Dont just think you can cut out small pieces to prove a point. You will look DUMB when the article that YOU site is contrary to the position you support.

[phoenician7]

Sumerian is found written on the tomb of Menes.

Sumerian predates all written forms and pictographs.

Yes, you look dumb when you cant refute what the recent studies say. Do your homeworkd and learn how to read, racist.

[AfricaTeacher]

LOL Lauhgable. Pictographs are VERY OLD.

There are pictographs in the Saharan desert that are over 10 thousand years old.

What is your SOURCE for saying Sumerian is in the tomb of Menes?

The oldest attested written language is Ancient Egyptian with confident date of 3400BC - That is a few HUNDRED Years of what was developed in Sumer. BOTH developed independantly. THAT is why Hieroglyphs are NOT cuneiform imprints and Ancient Egyptian uses AFRICAN plants and Animals in its glyphs.

[phoenician7]

For someone who claims to be a "teacher" you consistently demonstrate ignorance. Oh that's right, you're an "Africa" "teacher" no wonder. (chuckles)

The development of cuneiform writing was an evolution of an earlier Mesopotamian accounting system that had been used for five thousand years before. Egyptian hieroglyphs "came into existence a little after Sumerian script, and ... probably [were]...

You understand that you are referencing a the writings of a NUT JOB from the 1890's right? "Laurence Austine Waddell" - you CANT BE SERIOUS!

He speaks of a Nordic race that had Sumeria, Egypt and the Indus valley under ONE leader that was from Ireland or some DUMB SHIT like that.

There is not a CREDIBLE shred of evidence that Egyptians kings come from Sumer. In fact the Palermo stone list a few HUNDRED kinds BEFORE Narmer/Menes stretching back into pre-dynastic times.

[phoenician7]

Your insults dont do anything to disprove the fact that Menes tomb was inscribed with Sumerian text. Waddell was an expert in ancient text such as Sumerian, Egyptian and Indus. He graduated the highest with honours.

[AfricaTeacher]

He is a NUT JOB that created racist theories like 100 years ago.

You referring to him is not credible peer reviewed or even SOUND scholarship. That is why you will not find anyone that supports it. He is listed among the fringe who promote extra terrestrial origin of the hum accomplishments or Humanity itself.

WADDELL = FRINGE

If there were Sumerian writings in egyptians tombs Egyptologists would verify it.

[phoenician7]

Influence of Uruk reached Egypt in the Naqada II period contemporary with the Late Uruk and Jemdet Nasr periods [about 3100-2900 BC].Spouted jars were characteristic of Late Uruk pottery. Cylinder seals also first appeared in Egypt at that time.

[AfricaTeacher]

Understand the DIFFERENCE between "Afroasiatic" and "Semitic"

Afroasiatic : Mother language family that JOINS ALL the daughters INCLUDING Cushitic, Berber, etc. If the Semitic family developed WITHOUT influence from Africa then Semitic would NOT BE AN AFROASIATIC LANGUAGE, it would be a language ISOLATE like Sumerian or a totally DIFFERENT family like Indo-European or Altaic.

It cant come from an African FAMILY and NOT have influence from Africa.

Thats like you NOT having your parents genes!

[phoenician7]

Learn how to quote sources instead of flinging your fallacious opinions all over the place.The most probable origin of the proto-U6 lineage was the Near East. Around 30,000 years ago it spread to North Africa where it represents a signature of regional continuity. Attested presence of Caucasian people in northern Africa goes up to Paleolithic times. Linguistic research suggests that the Afroasiatic phylum of languages could have originated and extended with these Caucasians" Coffman-Levy 2005

[AfricaTeacher]

NOW you are wasting space putting garbage all over my page. I WILL erase if you continue. Our conversation was NOT ABOUT "U6"

Please give sources from PEER REVIEWED scientists, linguists, and geneticist. ANYONE can say "Sumerians came from Mars" and quote some IDIOTS NUT JOBS BOOK!

Understand Afro-Asiatic

PROTO means "ARCHAIC"

Proto-AfroAsiatic -> Proto Semitic -> Semitic

Semitic HAS to come FROM Proto Semitic which comes FROM Proto-AfroAsiatic.

Proto-AfroAsiatic = TRAVELING AFRICANS

[phoenician7]

U6 disproves a negro Egypt. Haplogroup N - as quoted by a genetic scientist (ODD you deny this) shows N to be founder of Aksum and not negroid.

Semitic comes from Akkadian as Ehret 2009 stated which he further ruled out Africa as an origin.

Whats the matter "teacher" scared of the truth?

[AfricaTeacher]

You still dont get it.

"Afrikaans" is an Indo European language spoken AND CREATED in Africa. In order for this Indo-European language to be in Africa it must be BROUGHT by Europeans because AFRICANS didnt speak Indo-European languages. Native Africans WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CREATE AN INDO EUROPEAN LANGUAGE!

The same can be said for Semitic.

Since it comes FROM Afro-Asiatic and A.A. has an origin in AFRICA then AFRICANS must have brought TO Asians because A.A. is NOT NATIVE TO ASIA!

[phoenician7]

No, you constantly inject OPINION. The scientist - as mentioned in YOUR VIDEO by name via Keita - Ehret, flat out stated that Semetic came from the LEVANT as opposed to an African origin.

[90rashad]

@phoenician7 lol theres not such thing as Negroid lol get out of here.

[phoenician7]

There is ZERO evidence for any written langage prior to Ubadian/Sumerian. So this entire discussion is total bunk.

[AfricaTeacher]

End point:

Ehret place the ORIGIN of AFROASIATIC IN ETHIOPIA. Actually both Ehret and Blench. Since Semitic is an Afro-Asiatic language, Afro Asiatic speakers MUST SPREAD the language to PLACES and PEOPLE whom DON'T ALREADY SPEAK IT! You get that?

AFRICANS crossed over the Sinai and spread "PROTO-Semitic." 1000's of years later, FULLY DEVELOPED Semitic came BACK into Ethiopia.

The chicken CANNOT come before the Egg! You MUST have "Proto-Semitic to GET Semitic"

Proto Semitic = AFRICAN.

[phoenician7]

NO he does not. Go back and read the2009 quote I stated by Ehret. It is the exact opposite of what you falsely postulate.

[AfricaTeacher]

example:

Afroasiatic is the "MOTHER" of the language "FAMILY"

The "FAMILY" has different "Daughters" - Keita @ 8:48. The "MOTHER""gives BIRTH to all its "Daughters."

Semitic, Egyptian, Ongota, Omotic, Cushitic, Berber, and Chadic are ALL "Sisters"

You got that part?

NOW, in order for one of these "Sisters" (Semitic) to get to the Levant - Either she was Born in Africa and MIGRATED There, or here MOTHER went to Africa and gave BIRTH to her there!

OTHERWISE SHE WOULD NOT BE THEIR RELATIVE!

[phoenician7]

That MOTHER came from the Levant as Ehret states. And just because one speaks it, does make one it (racially).

We all speak English but we might not all be English (racially).

[phoenician7]

From CONT.

We estimate an Early Bronze Age origin for Semitic approximately 5750 years ago in the Levant, and further propose that contemporary Ethiosemitic languages of Africa reflect a single introduction of early Ethiosemitic from southern Arabia approximately 2800 years ago. (Bayesian phylogenetic analysis of Semitic languages identifies an Early Bronze Age origin of Semitic in the Near East Christopher Ehret et al., 2009)

[AfricaTeacher]

Yep, true from Ehret. study ALSO says:

An ORIGIN of Afroasiatic along the AFRICAN COAST OF THE RED SEA, supported by comparative analyses (Ehret 1995; Ehret et al. 2004), is indicated in red, although other AFRICAN ORIGINS of Afroasiatic have been proposed (e.g. southwest Ethiopia; BLENCH 2006). The assumed location of the divergence of ANCESTRAL Semitic from Afroasiatic BETWEEN the AFRICAN coast of the Red Sea and the Near East is indicated in italics

My Next post drives the point home.

[phoenician7]

1995 that is OUTDATED. Refer to the 2009 quote.

Lineages that belong to haplogroup N that cover virtually all mtDNA sequences in western Eurasia (Richards et al. 2000) show substantial frequencies both in the Yemeni (44%) and Ethiopian (31%) mtDNA pools. ..Ethiopians differ explicitly from most other sub-Saharan African populations Within Ethiopia, the frequency of N lineages is significantly higher (P<.05) in samples that originate from its northern territory (48%), which

CONT

[phoenician7]

FROM CONT was the center of the Aksum kingdom, than among other Ethiopians, mostly originating from the south-central part of the country (27%). Their elevated frequency and uniform presence among major language groups in Ethiopia (table 1) suggests that these derived lineages may represent a relatively old introgression of lineages to the Ethiopian mtDNA pool from the Near East. ( Kivisild et al., 2004)

[phoenician7]

So, here we have the truth at last. Hapologroup N - a NON NEGROID haplogroup associated with the founding of the Aksum kingdom.

[AfricaTeacher]

MY GOD YOUR DUMB - AGAIN THE INFORMATION YOU POST IS CONTRARY TO YOUR CONCLUSION!

Aksum was Ethiopian / YEMEN.

the NEAR EAST does NOT INCLUDE YEMEN!

Notice the key terms:

"Elevated frequency and UNIFORM PRESENCE among MAJOR language GROUPS in Ethiopia"

AND

"RELATIVELY OLD introgression of lineages to the Ethiopian mtDNA pool from the NEAR EAST."

What THIS means is although lineages are higher in the North since ALL ETHIOPIANS HAVE THEM its "Relatively OLDER" than Aksum! = ANCIENT!

DUMBO!

[phoenician7]

Its spelled "you're" as in "you're dumb" dummy.

Aksum was founded by haplogroup N. The oldest clades of macrohaplogroup N are found in Asia. Gonder et al (2006).

Yemen is located on the Arabian Peninsula, not Africa and reflect 44% of N and Ethiopia 31%. N is a WESTERN EURASIAN mtDNA haplogroup, not Negroid, not Arabic. Therefore Aksum was founded by WESTERN EURASIANS of haplogroup N.

CONT

[AfricaTeacher]

No your a DUMMY because you are basing the founding of the Axumite KINGdom off of a lineage that is passed FROM MOTHER TO CHILD.

Is your hypothesis that a group of WOMEN colonized Ethiopia? IDIOT.

Read the article again. They note MANY of the these markers to date to the early Holocene (about 10,000 years ago) see Table 3. THAT is why they are found in ALL Ethiopians, even the plate lipped southerners.

You can add that to the fact that OVER HALF of the Yemeni mtdna makeup is AFRICAN

[phoenician7]

No, "teacher" its spelled "you're" as in you are a dummy, dummy. Haplogroup N - which is not negroid founded the Axumite kingdom ACCORDING TO THE SCIENTISTS. There are other non negroid ancient haplogroups associated in Ethiopia such as T and U, etc. Negroes in the Omo Valley were untouched by these migrations, hence the depressed noses. No, 7% of Yemeni dna is "African" and less than that is negroid. You mean late Holocene,the Neolithic followed the terminal Holocene Epipalaeolithic period

[AfricaTeacher]

See:

"Genetic evidence for complexity in ethnic differentiation and history in East Africa."

They are found uniform within ALL of Ethiopia. That was the point of me quoting the article before. They have a UNIFORM spread in ALL of the country with Peaks in certain places. The article states there are "Relatively OLD" OLD in terms of genetics is NOT young as in Axumite kingdom. And even then WOMEN didnt create AXUM stoopid.

You fail to understand BASIC concepts in language and Genes.

[phoenician7]

Aksum is in northern Ethiopia not the south where the Nyangatom and Daasanach dwell.

Your source states "only 5% of the Nyangatom and Daasanach sequences belong to haplogroups M and N." However M&N are Eurasian, not negroid. M&N descend from L3. Hence:

"L3 is more related to Eurasian haplogroups than to the most divergent African clusters Maca-Meyer et al. (2001)

You fail to comprehend the very sources you direct others to read. Also, Ethiopians are NOT Egyptians nor ever have been.

[AfricaTeacher]

Go back to the article, look the the Ethiopian and Yemeni mtdna samples and COUNT THEM UP! Count each sample from L0-L3 and M1a and generate a percentage based on the number of Yemeni samples. I am sure its around or higher than 50%.

Yemeni Y dna is also has a high percentage of African samples. Yemen AND Oman for that fact. Even E3a is found.

[phoenician7]

Africa is a geographic location, not a racial designation. Your entire argument is moot, considering the fact that the entire E haplogroup is Asian!

Chandrasekar et al. (2007), Shi et al. (2008), and Hai (2008) indicate that the entire E haplogroup is of Asian origin.

Further,

The prevalence of haplogroup E (xM2) chromosomes in northern Egypt may reflect the source of non-African E3b lineages. (Manni et al. 2002)

I can quote many more.

[phoenician7]

FROM CONT

Lineages that belong to haplogroup N that cover virtually all mtDNA sequences in WESTERN EURASIA (Richards et al. 2000).

[tubeview888]

Please stop responding to phoenician7, Its really obvious this person is racist ie when he/she says "you consistently demonstrate ignorance. Oh that's right, you're an "Africa" "teacher" no wonder. (chuckles)" and we know racists are not of sound mind or capable of logical unbiased thinking with it comes to Anthropological related science. You are contributing to the spam of your own page that you didn't want here. Save your "breath" and continue with the great vids.

[AfricaTeacher]

You are very right, Note taken.

[phoenician7]

LOL @ 1965 =7:28 that is OLD OUTDATED 44 years old crap. All of this has been debunked by Ehret - the very man he quotes!

[AfricaTeacher]

YOU ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION!

Semitic is ONE member of the Afroasiatic phylum, AND ONE OF THE YOUNGEST. 6 OTHER MEMBERS exist that have an AFRICAN ORIGIN!:

Egyptian

Cushitic

Berber

Chadic

Omotic

Ongota

ONLY Semitic has an origin OUTSIDE of Africa as your RECENT article states.

When i uploaded this video i dont think that new article existed, THAT is why I put an annotation at 9:25 saying "Minority View - Origin of Semitic under debate." when Keita speaks of Ethiopian origin of Semitic.

[thedaoofplus1]

pardon me but explain geez.

[AfricaTeacher]

Geez or Ge'ez is the foundation of the written languages of Ethiopia. It is an ancient south semitic language that is NOW spoken/used only in the church. As of now the Geez alphabet is used to write the major semitic languages in Ethiopia : Amharic, Tigre, Tigrinya, ec.

Its sort of like how English, French, Spanish, etc - is written in using "Latin Script" yet Latin is a "Dead Language" only really used by the Catholic church. The same is true for Ge'ez.

[CyberCelebrity]

@AfricaTeacher Are you Ethiopian?

[AfricaTeacher]

@CyberCelebrity Nope, i could pass for one though.

[Xenthoid]

@NubiansRuledTheWorld

they likely claim arab due to cultural traditions  and religion

[NubiansRuledTheWorld]

It has nothing to do with cultural traditions cause they weren't doing that type of shit before the arabs came. Religion plays a part but they have a caste system set up also. It works like this whoever isn't a muslim is automatically at the bottom of the todempole & is up for being killed. then you have the arabs at the top controlling everything followed by the mixed arab/africans & 3rd comes the full blooded africans. The mixed dont even claim to be africans cause of there social status, smh

[Kirke182]

Creoles also reject being called black or Afircan-American. They have a different history. They are by no means ashamed of their African origins--quite the contrary. But they simply don't see themselves as those who ID as "black" even though they may look alike. People need to get off this thing that people of Africa are ashamed of being black just because they don't ID that way. They have their own culture. Please respect it.

[AfricaTeacher]

Correct but Creole Identity is known to be mixed by definition. "Creole" is nothing more than a mixture of : Native American, French, Spanish, African, or European in varying ways.

Black is not a racial term. Black is only a Social term that many have called themselves now and throughout history. Senegalese and Southern Indians share the same colors yet one group is not African.

Somalis are primarily African, and extremely homogeneous because of their clan structure.

Somali = Black

1 - "Black" Is a term used to describe people of Primarily brown skin tones in Africa. - If they are not "Black" then what are they?

2 - "Black" is also the social term used to describe Africans and people of African descent. If they are not socially "Black" then what are they?

Dont say they are not "Black" while at the same time NOT giving a definition of what "Black" is, or alternatively what you think Somalis are. If not "Black" then what? Please answer questions 1 and 2.

we somalis are not a people of colour but a people of a linage system (qabill) from father to son which dates back thousands of years,, so every somali clan orginates from a diffrent mother land,, we are not like afro american were everyone is considered negro,,, for example some people in my family would be considered black in a wester society however others would be considered asian,,, like i said we dont belong to 1 race we are a people of liange

I understand the Clan structure and the tracing of lineage. Every person should be free to have their own concept of who they are. But When you say "Every Clan comes from a different motherland" : Genetics does not agree with that.

Although you have clans, Somalia basically has ONE Ethnic group = Somali.

Its not like Ethiopia where you have 80+ Ethnic groups.

When looking at the Y-Chromosome that shows a lineage from Father to Son - Over 75% of Somalis share the same ancient lineage.

somalis are not black

[AfricaTeacher]

Says who and for what reason?

"Black" - When taking as an example describing skin color ranging from Light Brown to Black within Africa - Somalians are OVERWHELMINGLY "Black."

"Black" - When using it to describe pigmented aboriginal Ethnic groups and populations within Africa - Somalis are OVERWHELMINGLY "Black."

"Black" When using it to describe the social term that Africans and people of African descent use to refer to themselves - Somalis are OVERWHELMINGLY "Black."

Not ALL Sudanese. Arabic may be the official language of the Khartoum government but there is somewhat of a divide in Sudan when you get to the south and also the West, even the Red sea areas are different. The Nilotic people of South and Western Sudan speak their own languages, typically Nilo-Saharan. Also Many groups in Northern Sudan speak AfroAsiatic languages other than Semitic. Whether it be Coptic, Beja, Chadic or some other Cushitic language spilling over from Ethiopia and Eritrea.
