There was No Race War in Africa 35kya

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. They wrote:

 “ 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.
