is there a larger version of this plot?
Great. Where did you get it from?
I do not know it's original source but I found the plot published on Unz Review by one of their authors called @JayMan471 . Data is sourced from the Human Genome Diversity Project with samples by Cavalli-Sforza (1994), Chao Tian (2008), Rosenberg (2006).
In addition to this nature study, for the European samples,https://www.nature.com/articles/ejhg2008210 …
Yes, but who would check an obscure website like wikipedia for getting information about Augustine ethnic background ? Left: biographical notice of Augustine. Right: Egyptian depiction of a Berberpic.twitter.com/aJvDtGzVY5
Berbers are not black.
Of course they are not, except in the mind of some illiterate Americans who think that "born in Africa = Black". I think the sub-saharan part of the continent should have a different name than the Northern part
"As a Latina, how do you feel writing about a Black soccer player and coach like Zinedine Zidane ?" (who is Berber)pic.twitter.com/keABMGAqcU
When I was in college, a black pride type in ROTC picked Hannibal to do a presentation on because he assumed Hannibal was black, being from Africa like Augustine.
i still can't wrap my head around what seems to be happening here. The dumbest, most idiotic afrocentric garbage, that only 20yrs ago even liberals routinely trashed (recall mary lefkowitz vs afrocentrists) is now common knowledge !? colonization ofwestern mind by the Other mind
+ i used to laugh imagining dumb scenarios like "soon they will claim Rome was 30% Black, based on the roman senate having been 1/3rd african at some point". And they are claiming such things and making them "common knowledge" and i'm not finding it too funny @Vertumne1
Is Brooks an Afrocentrist? Augustine is thought to have been a Berber. As far as I know, Berbers are native North Africans of Caucasian-Arab ethnicity. Here are some examples:pic.twitter.com/av9uRZh6yY
Of course, that's nowadays, after plenty of other kinds of people moving into the region. What did Berbers look like in Augustine's day? There are blackish depictions.pic.twitter.com/efFMZMbGkn
Who's that, Yakub?
LOL, but Yakub's head was bigger, because full of knowledge.pic.twitter.com/DKFnEb9BPL
