Epigenetics and Health Impacts: Modern studies, including the Nova PBS reference, provide evidence for epigenetic changes due to stress or trauma, but the effects beyond one generation in humans remain unproven. The theoretical application of epigenetics to community-wide health disparities lacks consistent empirical evidence, limiting its ability to account for broader societal health trends. Origins of the Badarian Culture and Early Egyptians: Keita's linkage of the Badarian culture to Nubian and Saharan populations aligns with archaeological evidence. However, the focus on southern African influences does not address the significant role of Near Eastern agricultural contributions, such as wheat and barley. Keita's critique overlooks evidence of genetic and cultural exchange between the Maghreb, the Near East, and the Nile Valley, as suggested by mitochondrial and Y-DNA studies. Even Keita has acknowledged in the text that cultural diffusion, as Diop suggested, cannot be disregarded entirely. Racialization of Ancient Egyptians: Keita's argument about avoiding rigid racial classifications is valid, but his critique of genetic studies like Schuenemann et al. is overstated. While the study focused on northern Egypt and excluded southern populations, it does provide insights into the genetic makeup of specific regions. The claim that there was no significant migration from the Near East is contradicted by genetic studies showing continuous interactions between northern Egypt, the Levant, and even Europe during various periods, such as the Hyksos era and beyond. Ramesses III and Haplogroups: Keita's discussion of E1b1a as a lineage associated with Ramesses III is incorrect. The genetic analysis of Ramesses III indicates Haplogroup T, a lineage commonly found in North Africa and the Mediterranean, not sub-Saharan Africa. This error undermines the claim that pharaonic Egypt was predominantly linked to sub-Saharan populations through this haplogroup. Critique of Genetic Studies: The critiques Keita and others levy against Schuenemann et al.'s study have merit regarding limited samples and geographic focus. However, they fail to recognize the study's contribution to understanding regional population dynamics in northern Egypt. Genetic findings support substantial connections between North Africa and the Levant, predating and paralleling later Islamic and Mediterranean exchanges. "Africasia" and Broader Frameworks: Keita's term "Africasia" highlights interconnectedness but risks oversimplification. Genetic evidence, particularly from Tafforalt and Natufian populations, underscores a North African-Levantine continuum that doesn't necessitate redefining Africa-Asia boundaries but instead suggests long-term regional interaction. The 2017 Nature Communications paper discussed in the provided document raises essential points about limitations in sampling, methodology, and historical interpretations. While it focuses on northern Egypt, its findings should be integrated with data from Upper Egypt and other areas to provide a holistic view of ancient Egyptian population history. It is inaccurate for Keita to dismiss these findings outright without engaging with the genetic evidence indicating Levantine and Mediterranean influences. The reference to mitochondrial M1 haplogroups and their African origins is a valid critique but needs to be balanced with evidence of M1's presence in Eurasian populations and its potential spread through bidirectional migrations. The document notes that genetic markers like M1 and E1b1b require careful contextualization, as they represent ancient lineages with complex histories of movement and interconnection. Keita's emphasis on African origins and interconnections within the continent is valuable, but his dismissal of Near Eastern and Mediterranean influences oversimplifies the genetic and cultural dynamics of ancient Egypt. The provided material demonstrates a need for balanced interpretations that integrate archaeological, historical, and genetic evidence.

Has anyocne considered that the term Bantu originates with the biblical Put? The Egyptians named a people calle Punt, who were distinct from the Nubians, and inhabited the coast of Eritria during the middle kingdom period. If that is the case, thee people likely were among the Sumerians, who the Semitic people named, and literally means "black heads." I believe descendants of Cush (and likely Put) populated S. Arabia, Sumer, and the Indus Valley, as Indu just means River, and the Hindu Kush thus means "River of Kush." I believe the Dravidians were Cushites, and the Sumerians were a mix of Cushites, Puntites, Hebrews and Sinite before the Babel incdient, which I place in the latter half of the 17th century BCE. Thus we find an expanse toward S. India, China, Austronesia, and as afar as Mexico emerging withing 100-200 years of this date. It seems that the the Chinese were descended from the Canaanite "Sin," who originally inhabited the Sinai region, and that these people were migrant workers, who helped build the Pyramids and Ziggurauts, and also helped establish the Sumerian religion. Thus we find "Sin" exalted to deity in the Akkaddian period, after the patriarch Sin would have died. If the people of Put/Punt, migrated away from Sumer to the West Coast of Africa after the Babel event, coming to pronounce Punt as Bunt (or vice versa) is not a stretch; nor is eventually equating the terme "Buntu" or "Bantu" with "person" if they were all related to the same ancesetor. We find similar things in Mexico, where statues of Sumerian looking and Chinese looking statues have been found, and acutal myths exist that involve a tower, a confusion of languages, and haivng to move to where the people spoke "the pure language." I suspect that Bantu, Chinese, Dravidian, Austronesian and Mesoamarican peoples are all the biproduct of a Sumerian diaspora, producing a wide family of Creole lanugages due to the mixing among them, and the subsequent trading and kidnapping of wives as they disperesed. Thus we find the most broadly diverse number of lanugages in Sub Saharan Africa and Southern India, where people could travel hundreds of miles to kidnap wives, and then excape into deep jungles, where they would not be found by those they kidnapped from. The same basic tendency existed in the Arabian and European slave trade, and in the tendency to kidnap people for sacriical offerings in Mesoamerican systems.

As we have touched few matters in this open forum I was inspired to elaborate on this matter. Ubuntu/Botho Ubuntu before it's taken into task as a concept it should be understood from Nguni and Setshwana (Northern & Southern Sesotho Sepedi & Seshoeshoe both languages germinated from Setshwana) languages and cultures as point of departure as a descriptive name of a behavioral situation. South African languages are divided into two groupings as Nguni group of languages and Setshwana group of languages regardless of our eleven official languages hence in reality we have more than eleven languages. In reality in South Africa the majority of people are descendants of two people Motswana and Nguni where they blended with Bathwa/Barwana (San) who are at the ending point of extinction. Now 'UBUNTU' is a Nguni descriptive word of which we also have as 'BOTHO' in Setshwana and N/S Sotho. In totality this wording Ubuntu/Botho means full-fledged unity of two or more things. It means full-fledged union of things. In a sense of functionality Ubuntu/Botho is witnessed in a life where one treat one another with lovely and caring manner, where one see themselves in others and treat the next person or organism the way they want to be treated. These led to a behavior that gets one to operate in a full-fledged sense of being kind to an extent where there's no need for rules or laws to manage/control human behavior from bad to good hence the sense of good and bad diminishes as these two becomes one unit kindness takes over and overwhelms everything as a dictator. When human behavior is at this stage there's no need for a leader (someone who is an examplery to anyone ). At this stage everyone is enjoying the returns of treatenent they have invested in others. They ejoy to be treated the same way they they have been treating the other person or organism. So everyone is busy sharpening their means of treating themselves to a better satisfaction than before hence that is the exact satisfactory experience they will be giving out to somebody and get a better satisfaction in return. This is done in a form of a game of tennis but with a focus to upgrade the satisfaction rather than to overpower/defeat the next person. The western philosophy of such a game is to overpower or outshine the next person. The African philosophy is to unfold and attain the unknown wonderful satisfaction levels. Of which is what makes humans to want to live even more and this becomes what life supposed to be lived for and that makes us human and more lively. Ubuntu/Botho have be philosophized over time, many intellectuals and scholars have been unpacking and packing this lifestyle so many times in many forms just to drive a certain narrative home. And Ubuntu/Botho is now messed-up and no longer understood and practiced hence is now viewed as a tool of sugar coating and driving certain agendas. For one to have attained this kind of understanding one should have fully experienced the use of these two groupings of languages, the Nguni and Sotho/Tswana/Sepedi. One should be aware that the 'U' in the group of Nguni languages indicates the pointing out of something/someone/situation/condition for example: Umthunzi (one shade), Umnyukela (one up-slope), Umsuthu (one Sotho person), Umgani (one friend), Ubumnandi (the excitement), Ubumyama (the darkness), 'U'muntu ( a human being), 'U' buntu (the treatment of oneness-self). The 'U' is used as a prefix in many instances where one indicates the singularity of what is pointed out. Ntu/I'nto= thing, Izinto=Things, due to the shifting of sounds in the mouth this goes to from 'Into'(Izinto) to 'Ntu'. A'Ba'-ntu plural of Mu-'Ntu' hence 'Muntu' is a singularity of 'Abantu'. In Nguni languages 'Ba' indicates the joint of two and more people. The togetherness of the indicated people. A'Ba'ngani = Friends, A'Ba'thakathi= Witches, A'Ba'ntu =people humans. A'Ba'Ntu means the clustered togetherness of things, 'Ba' prefix for indicating plurality of something that which is 'Ntu'. Something that is plural but eventually becoming singular because of its togetherness or forming one unit then the actions and performances that are produced by the oneness/togetherness of merging of duality, right and wrong, good and bad becomes Buntu= Ubuntu thus emerges kindness and such kindness action are referred to as Ubuntu. The Tswana prefix on similar wording goes as follows: Morithi (one shade), Morotogedi (one up-sloope, Mosotho ( one sotho person), Mogwera/Mokgotsi( one friend), Bo-monate/bobose( the excitement), Boso (the darkness), Motho (a human being), Botho ( the oneness-self treatment). In this Sotho and Tswana languages the prefix 'Mo' indicates the singularity of what has been pointed at while 'Bo' indicates singularity of united things or togetherness of clustered things. 'Bo'tho is pointed out as singularity of oneness of 'Ntho' (Ntho=thing, dintho=things selo=thing, dilo=things). Botho is the description of the action of the singularity of togetherness or unity of two or more people. Batho= people/humans, Botho is the action that is performed by the coming together of Batho (people/humans). 'Ba' is the prefix indicating the joint of two or more people, 'Ba'tho (people/humans), 'Ba'-agišane (neighbors, 'Ba'-rekiši (sellers), 'Ba'-thekgi (supporters). 'Ntho'=thing, 'Ba'-Ntho/Batho (humans), two or more joint Nthos= Batho. The only real action of the joint or united people is 'Botho'. The only thing that real united people can do to one another is kindness thus Ubuntu/Botho is referred to as human kindness by the Europeans. There's no way that when people are a true unit can not do good to one another. When they do good to one another in a real sense of unity there can only be kindness thus good and bad, wrong and right get diminished and kindness takes over. In kindness there's bad that is done but because is for the benefit of all it cannot be noticed or recognized as bad and there's good that is done by individuals on one and one basis and it is not noticed or recognized as good but as investment and a way of self reflection. In that sense the good and bad get diminished and kindness takes over. The meaning of 'Ba', is the coming together of two things to form oneness, 'Ba' means unity and the functional essence of life happens through the joining of two forces hence everything come into existence from the combination of two things, the combination of two cells, the coming together of man and woman, every human made thing is through the coming together of two fingers or hands, in life everything is in two, there is duality, there is always two sides of on everything, a full functioning human has two eyes, two nostrils, two jaws, two lips, two legs, two hands, left and right brain, left and right chambers of a heart in and out side of everything that exist. This tells us that 'Ba' (the joining of two things) is the real essence of life. Where there's Ubuntu/Botho (unity in kindness ), there is no need for police, enforcement of rule of law, there is no need for prisons, there is no need for government/managing of people as if are headless animals that can not see themselves in each other's eyes. There's no need for weapons, there's no poverty (poverty is made and imposed on people in order to control them). By nature there's no poverty in this continent, people of this continent have land to plant food, kept livestock and had kings and chiefs to take care of the widows and orphans. People of this continent never worked for a boss in order to survive, they use to create and produce whatever is needed at the time of need and use to share resources as clans, families and relatives. Motho ke motho ka botho bja gagwe (a human kindness makes a one a real human). Botho bo thoma mothong (human kindness emerges nowhere else but only from a human. A human to live life needs another human, there is no human life without a another human. An upper jaw needs a lower jaw to function. This is the explanation of Ubuntu/Botho from my understanding of our cultures and languages. As much as our languages are brutalized by the dominance of European languages, our natural wisdom of living life is undergoing tauter. Our languages are not just means of conveying messages are a spiritual carriers of our sacred wisdom. You lose your language, you lose your spiritual guiding tool for maneuvering unknown territories. .

African-American Group Name Suggestion: Maboma (mah-boh-mah). Boma, from the languages of KiSwahili, ChiTumbuka and ChiChewa, means village, community, office, fortified camp and several other constructs pertaining to enclosed spaces. The prefix ‘ma’ is one of plurality (or, in some cases, largeness). The new construction (ma+boma), i.e., maboma, literally means ‘many villages’ or ‘big village’ as adapted connotations. The so-called African-Americans, like other African populations forcibly transported during TAST (Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade) to areas of the Americas besides the United States like Cuba, Brazil, Jamaica and Barbados, are a Diaspora African ethnicity comprised of a collection of diverse Africans emanating from spaces/settlements across Africa (mainly, Senegambia-Congo-Angola tri-node region+Mozambique vicinity+Madagascar). Regardless as to whether MABOMA is translated as ‘many villages’ or ‘big village’, the construct conveys the idea of diversity. The affiliated narrative can reflect the idea that the group is an amalgamation of people bringing diverse (but great) talents, ideas and skills from Africa - all of which denote strength; additionally, they have used their ingenuity and Pan-African background to craft innovations in the current residential space, e.g., Jazz; Kwanzaa; cornbread; traffic light and so on.

kinyarwanda I think it would still be a valid even if you put the ""uyu" in the middle like you do on the other languages they are functionally the same especially shona and Kinyarwanda a few changes in mindset can make the two language speakers understand each other fully with no third language or can learn each others language in less than 2 days as for Lingala and Lunganda maybe a week to two weeks of full effort provided you speak KinyaRwanda or Shona. I disagree on the part of one being less Bantu when every word they use on everyday is the same just spoken a bit differently.

In many Bantu cultures though Bantu people separate themselves from other people.For example in Bantu languages you can say "I saw a person who is not of bantu "in other words a person can be black but not bantu as bantu is not just a language its also culture not just a linguistic grouping. That being said a lot of bantu people let the Congo in the 10th century they then they separated others went north ended up in Ivory Coast created the"soko kingdom" then others went south ended up Zimbabwe and Mozambique the soko people Soko.To me this explains why there are so many Bantu like words in some languages in "non " bantu areas like in Sierra Leone and Ivory Coast. These Bantu people as they moved in Areas that are non Bantu majority in west Africa they started speaking the languages for west Africa in Bantu style hence they kept their style even culture bot not actual bantu words.Same Like African American Ebonics its English being spoken in a an African way may I even say Bantu!. Those people who speak non bantu but almost same as bantu they also tent to have the same genetics as bantu people or they have a noticeably large population within them who have same bantu DNA or even on the outward they look like bantu people for example people of Abidjan and other areas of Ivory coast and SL can walk into South Africa,Zimbabwe Congo Mozambique Zambia etc and look like natives but people from other west African countries just one look a person can see that they are not from Bantu stock.These are my observation on some of my small research this by no means answers all there is but valid on how some bantu people ended up in northern parts of west Africa
