[@akindelebankole8080]

Thank you. I am a Yoruba man myself and I can see my mom's features in many of the sculptures from West Africa that you showed. Most especially the last piece. My mom's nose was narrow with a more subtle flaring at the end. My nose is a definite mix of my mom's and my dad's. I have almost a distinct straight symmetrical line running down the middle of my nose, but with a wider gradation of flare. I also have a bridge which is often common in West African peoples. Although my mom's bridge was even more subtle than her flare. Sometimes people wonder why west African facial art has slanting eyes. Aside from parts of the Yoruba tribe actually having a slight slant upwards towards the temple, the hair styles often cause the eyes to be pulled upwards in such a manner that calls more attention to the slant. Additionally, younger tighter Yoruba skin is firmer and lends itself to such a slant. So much culture, do much art, and so much wisdom. Thanks for sharing your wonderful video.

[@akindelebankole8080]

ELUCIDATI Quite fascinating. Human history is very interesting, and I'm so glad that we are beginning to reclaim our own proud heritages.

[@GuardianoftheGoldenStool]

Yeah, I've noticed that slanted eyes exist splattered across Sub-Saharan Africa. African dna has been noted by geneticists; mostly without external admixture, as being the oldest, most diverse, and complex in the world. Outside of Africa, other ethnicities incomparably are said to only represent mere subsets of this diversity. For geneticists it reaffirms that all mankind at some point had his origins in Africa.

[@uzzyvick]

@@Volcanic_Eruption In the ancient times there are frequent migrations and backward migrations. Ancient Egypt may have resulted from migration of people from parts of Africa. But that doesn't stop people emigrating from Egypt back to Africa or West Africa as the case maybe. Even though, some histories maybe obscurd the remnants of people's origins are always reflected in their oral histories, traditions, languages and arts. So, it may not be farfetched if someone claims that their origins are from Egypt and it doesn't negate the Egyptian origins either.

[@raidio1]

@The Empress Even if they did came from the WEST they returned to the WEST. because the WEST was known to the ancient Egyptians as the LAND of the DEAD or the DUAT LAND and it was seen as a PARADISE LAND for REFUGESS escaping from the DANGERS of FOREIGN INVASIONS and CONQUERORS.

That shows that people in the West migrated from the East/North East. Also there has and still is a lot of interbreeding between the different tribes so there's really no typical looks from any area. Many Somalians and Ethiopians are mixed with modern pale Arabs; hence their foreign looks.

How can the mixed with Arab when Arab just arrived to our continent in seven century AD, The population of Ethiopian alone is over 80 million people with different culture religion and way of life. As widely traveled African, we African are only people in position to tell our own story not people from know were will be telling our story.

I’m glad that you point out that Egypt influenced Greece and Rome. People act like everything started with the Greeks but history shows it traces back to the first great empire: Egypt. The Greeks and the Romans had a conservative mentality: old = gold. Both claimed to be the legitimate successes of the great Egyptian empire that came before them. In fact going even past arts influence, most people know that the Roman alphabet comes from Greek, but what many don’t know is that Greek script derived from phonoecian which emerges originally in Egypt. When we use the Roman alphabet we are actually indebted to Egypt. Interesting, right?

Sorry I'm biased towards the art from Nigeria! Especially the art of Ile Ife! Yoruba art is so exquisite! So is Bini, and the sculpture of other tribes! could you imagine how the sculpture would gleam in it's days right after being cast? What is so cool is how most of us of West African ancestry haven't really changed our phenotype much. Our genes are very strong!
