There was an article in the Independent newspaper
which claims that 13kya there was a race war in the Sahara. The idea that a
race war existed at this time seems ludicris because there is no evidence of different
races in Africa at that time. The iconographic evidence from Egypt, does not
show the European physical type until the invansion of Egypt by the People of
the Sea after 1200BC
Scientists are investigating what may be the oldest
identified race war 13,000 years after it raged on the fringes of the Sahara.

“ French scientists
working in collaboration with the British Museum have been examining dozens of
skeletons, a majority of whom appear to have been killed by archers using
flint-tipped arrows.
The bones – from Jebel Sahaba on the east bank of the Nile
in northern Sudan – are from victims of the world’s oldest known relatively
large-scale human armed conflict.
Over the past two years anthropologists from Bordeaux
University have discovered literally dozens of previously undetected arrow
impact marks and flint arrow head fragments on and around the bones of the
victims.
Of the 59 Jebel Sahaba victims, skeletal material from two
has been included in the new Early Egypt gallery. The display includes flint
arrowhead fragments and a healed forearm fracture, almost certainly sustained
by a victim seeking to defend himself by raising his arm during an episode of
conflict.”
The major problem researchers have with African prehistory
is the idea that all Africans look alike. The
craniometric and skeletal evidence from Africa, makes it clear that various African
populations formerly arose in Africa,
and made successive migrations out of Africa.
These Blacks had varying physical features and hair type. There was
never a monolithic Black race.
The archaeological evidence indicates that the first Black
population or negro population to originate in Africa were the Australians, who
left Africa during the OoA event 60kya. The next group were the Khoisan, who
migrated into Europe across the Straits of Gibraltar 40-35kya and founded the Grimaldi and Aurignacian.
Numerous Sub-Saharan
skeletons have been found in Europe dating to the Aurignacian and Neolithic
periods ( Boule and Vallois, 1957; Diop, 1974,1981; DuBois,1941). Marcellin
Boule and Henri Vallois, in Fossil Man , note that "We know now that the
ethnography of South African tribes presents many striking similarities with the
ethnography of our populations of the Reindeer Age. Not to speak of their stone
implements which, as we shall see later , exhibit great similarities, Peringuey
has told us that in certain burials on the South African coast 'associated with
the Aurignacian or Solutrean type industry...."(p.318-319). They add, that
in relation to Bushman art " This almost uninterrupted series leads us to
regard the African continent as a centre of important migrations which at
certain times may have played a great part in the stocking of Southern Europe.
Finally, we must not forget that the Grimaldi Negroid skeletons sho many points
of resemblance with the Bushman skeletons". They bear no less a
resemblance to that of the fossil Man discovered at Asslar in mid-Sahara, whose
characters led us to class him with the Hottentot-Bushman group.This is
interesting because --CL. Brace 2005. The Questionable contribution of the
Neolithic to European craniofacial form
found that the craniofacial features of these early European farmers and
the Natufians plotted with Sub-Saharan groups (Brace, 2006) just like the
Aurignacians (Boule and Vallois,1957; Winters, 2011).
The next group to
exit Africa after 15kya were the proto-pgymies who may represent the Natufians
. In the ancient literature the pgymies were called Anu. The Anus ruled Africa,
the Americas and Eurasia until the rise of the Proto-Saharans or Kushites . The
Kushites exited Africa after after 4000BC. The Kushites were the last Africans
to exit Africa until the expansion of
Muslims Africans from Sahara into
Iberia , who founded the Moorist civilization that lasted in Spain until 1492.
The two ethnic groups who were probably engaged in war 13kya
years ago may have been a conflict between the Niger-Congo speaking people who
belonged to the Ounanian culture and the Anu. The Ounanian people (=Kushites=Niger-Congo-Dravidian speakers)
who archaeologically are associated with
arrowheads they left throughout the Sahara. The Anu were defeated by
Narmar.
