African Sub-Races

Introduction
There are 5 sub-races in Africa.  They are more related to each other more than any other group of people. They are as follows: Khoisan, Pygmy, Nilo-Saharan, Niger-Congo, and Afrasan.  They each created their own language family and have their own culture.  They mixed with each other and non-Africans over the millennia.

Khoisan
They are composed of 2 different, but related peoples.  These type of peoples was more widespread in Africa millennia ago.  They speak with clicks in their languages. They believe a good god lives in the east and an evil god lives in the west.  They believe in an afterlife.  They know ancestral spirits influence the living. Eibib is a great hero in their mythology.  He had many deaths and resurrections.  Gagwasi is the spirit of death.  They have a creation story similar to the one in the Bible.  They have the oldest X & Y chromosomes.  L0d, L0k, and L5c are most popular X chromosomes in this population.  A2, A3b1,  and B haplogroups are the most popular Y chromosomes of this population.  Some of them mixed with the Bantu. Others were displaced.  Some died from diseases they caught by Europeans because they lacked immunity. There was a Caucasian migration into Africa 3,000 years ago.  Some Khoisan people mixed with them or mixed with other Africans that mixed with them.

The San are the oldest people in the world.  They live in South Africa and surrounding areas.  The men are great hunters.  They could look at an animal track and know if it male or female and how old the track is. They like to dance themselves into a trance. Sometimes they do it to heal people.  2/3 of the men and 1/3 of the women are shamans.  They made a lot of prehistoric rock art in southern Africa.  They are some of the most peaceful people on earth!  Credo Mutwa grandfather was San person. The first Europeans are called the Grimaldi.  They were San people.

The Khoi-Khoi are the descendants of the of the San or they have common ancestors. They are cattle herders.  Khoi-Khoi women are the thickest women in the world!!!!!! They are very beautiful.  In their society, the one who owns the most cattle is the wealthiest.  Sarah Baartman was a Khoi-Khoi woman that lived in South Africa.  She moved to London than Paris.  Europeans were fascinated by her appearance.   They would come and view her while she was on stage.  After they stop viewing her, she became a prostitute. She died at 25; I think she was killed by an STD.  The French took out her organs and stuffed her body.  They put her body, organs, and genitalia on display in the Museum of Men.  Now the body is buried in the South Africa.  She was the inspiration for European women wearing dresses that made their butt look big.


Pygmy
At one time everyone on earth was a pygmy.  The Khoisan were pygmies long ago. There are several different tribes of pygmies.  They are/were hunter-gathers.  They live in the rainforest and other parts of Africa.  Some of them use to live on near the border of Mali.  Dogon saw them when they moved in. Pygmies spoke their own language, now they speak the language of the surrounding people.  They hunt elephants or at least they use too.  They put poison on the tip of their arrows.  Khoisan people do this as well. Their music is polyrhythmic and some of them play the water drums.  They also have a creation story similar to the bible. Mama DNA: L0a, L1c, L2a2, and L5.   Papa DNA is B.  Some pygmy tribes mixed with the Bantu.


Ota Benga was a pygmy that was put in the Brooklyn Zoo by Europeans.  He was part of the human zoo exhibit.  B4 that he was put in a zoo.  He danced like American Warriors on a stage in front of a crowd of European.  Geronimo was impressed, so he gave him an arrowhead.


Some of Pygmies were killed and eaten during the Congo Civil War. The people that ate them thought their bodies had magic powers.  In ancient times warriors believed by consuming the enemy you get it power. This is the essence of communion.  There are pygmies in other parts of the world.  Pygmy means small, any tribe that is less 5 feet is pygmy.  This paragraph is only about African pygmies.

Nilo-Saharan
Nilo-Saharan people may have originated in the Sudan.  They come in 2 varieties. Sudanic and Nilotic. Sudanic people had a lot to do with the creation of Kemet. Nubians are a Sudanic tribe.  Nilotic people tend to be tall and love cattle.  Obama father was a member of the Luo tribe.  The Luo tribe is half Nilotic.  Nilo-Saharan people come from the Khoisan people.  The Nilo-Saharan people live in Nile Valley, East Africa, Central Africa, and West Africa.

Mama DNA: L3h, L4, L5a, L5b, L5c
Papa DNA: A3b2, B2a1, E2a

Niger-Congo
My African ancestors are most likely were Niger-Congo.  Niger-Congo Africans happen to be my favorite Africans.  I think Niger-Congo people and Nilo-Saharan people had common ancestors.  The Niger-Congo people lived in West Africa 4 millennia.  They believed in a creator, nature spirits, and ancestral spirits. Voodoo has a Niger-Congo origin.  They used fishing rods in prehistoric times.  The Niger-Congo language is the biggest language family in Africa!  It is the 3rd biggest language family in the world. They are the most popular and numerous Africans.  They are the generic African. This is because during the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade most of the Africans enslaved were Niger-Congo.

Mama DNA: L2a1, L2b, L2c, L2d, L2e, and L3e.
Papa DNA: B2a1, E1, E3a, E3a7


The Bantu people are Niger-Congo people that left West Africa and traveled all over the continent.  They are in 16 African nations and they live abroad.  I took a KiSwahili class in college.  KiSwahili is a Bantu language.  I also had a Bantu friend from Tanzania, while in college.  There is a book about the Bantu called Indaba, My Children.  The Bantu are farmers, but a Nubian girl taught them how to herd cattle. They made farming and iron technology more popular in Africa. They even went to Madagascar and met Indonesians. Then they made babies with them.

The Arabs enslaved a Swahili chief and took him to Yemen.  He escaped and went back home.  He taught his people Islam.  I assume he did it so they wouldn't get enslaved by Arabs.  Arabs brought some enslaved Bantu people to Somalia.  The Bantu are seen as slaves by some Somalis because of this.  Sometimes Somalis and Bantu don't get along and battle each other.  I think this because Bantus are mistreated in Somalia.  They should get along with each other since they are both African.  Sometimes Bantu enslave the Pygmies.  They should treat them better since that's their ancestors.

Afrasan
These are most famous Africans because the Kemeteu were in large part were Afrasan.  Arabic is the 2nd biggest language in Africa.  It is a Semitic language, which is a part of the Afro-Asiatic language family.  This language family was created by Afrasan people.  All the branches of the Afro-Asiatic language family are spoken in Africa exclusively except the Semitic branch.  Semitic languages originated in Central Eastern Africa.  The Semitic alphabet was created in Lebanon.  The letters were based on the hieroglyphs of Metu Neter.  Ancestors of Afrasan people were the Africans that gave birth to non-Africans.  The Ga tribe came from Canaan.  They may even be Hebrew.  Original Chadic, Cushite, Semitic, Omotic, Berber peoples are Afrasan.  The Metu Neter, Aramaic, Hebrew, Arabic, Amharic, Oromo, Coptic, Akkadian, and Ge'ez are all Afrasan languages.

Mama DNA: L3a, L3f, L3i, L3x,L3h, L4, L5c, and L6.
Papa DNA:B, E3b, E3b1, E3b1a, E3b1a1, E3b2, E3b3, Eb6, J, and K2.

Non -African Mama DNA (M-N) comes from L3.  Nubians have the oldest L3.

Conclusion
This 5 African sub-races are amazing!!!!!!!!!!  They all have their own cultures.  They have many similarities and differences.  Unity in diversity.  They are many tribes that are an admixture of these sub-races. Examples are the Chagga, Lou, Oromo, Xhosa, Hutu, Tutsi, Habesha, Berbers, Fulani, Hausa, Hadza etc.  Cushites and Nilo-Saharan people had a lot of babies together.  I love Africans!!!!!!!!!!!!!
