TerryCarr: the Khoisan would not be could "negroid" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capoid

the term negroid is outdated.

none of us are "negroid".

he is saying they are black which they are.

there "brown"

TerryCarr: there "brown"

i am brown too so what?

they are under the e1b1 umbrella therefore they are just as black and african as us.

keep in mind that they are one of the oldest people in the world.

In the 1990s, genomic studies of different peoples around the world found that the Y chromosome of Khoisan men (using samples drawn from several San tribes) share certain patterns of polymorphisms that are distinct from the genomes of all other populations. As the Y chromosome is highly conserved from generation to generation, this type of DNA testing is used by geneticists to determine when different subgroups separated from one another and hence their last common ancestry. The authors of these studies suggested that the Khoisan (actually the San) may have been one of the first populations to differentiate from the most recent common paternal ancestor of all extant humans, the so-called Y-chromosomal Adam by patrilineal descent, estimated to have lived 60,000 to 90,000 years ago. The authors also note that their results should be interpreted as only finding that the Khoisan "preserve ancient lineages", and not that they "stopped evolving" or are an "ancient group", since subsequent changes in their population are in parallel and similar to those of all other human populations.

Various Y-chromosome studies since confirmed that the Khoisan carry some of the most divergent (oldest) Y-chromosome haplogroups. These haplogroups are specific sub-groups of haplogroups A and B, the two earliest branches on the human Y-chromosome tree.

Similar to findings from Y-Chromosome studies, mitochondrial DNA studies also showed evidence that the Khoe–San people carry high frequencies of the earliest haplogroup branches in the human mitochondrial DNA tree. The most divergent (oldest) mitochondrial haplogroup, L0d, have been identified at its highest frequencies in the southern African Khoe and San groups. The distinctiveness of the Khoisan in both matrilineal and patrilineal groupings is a further indicator that they represent a population historically distinct from other Africans.

just calling them black just does not feel right i always call them Khoisan

yes i saw that on wikipedia.

and they are not the oldest people. you just bolded a section which debunked the claim.
they just carry the direct and untainted DNA of a group of ancient africans.

Now this is interesting.

I jumped the GUN with the e1b1.
I had confused the Namibian Khoisan with the South African.

They are apparently under the A(xBT) haplogroup...according to your wikipediapage they have no relation to other africans BUT!...

The highest frequencies of haplogroup A have been reported among the Khoisan of Southern Africa, Beta Israel, and Nilo-Saharans from Sudan.

AND THEN.....

Haplogroup A(xBT) is largely restricted to parts of Africa, though a handful of cases have been reported in Europe and Western Asia. The clade achieves its highest modern frequencies in the Bushmen hunter-gatherer populations of Southern Africa, followed closely by many Nilotic groups in Eastern Africa. However, haplogroup A's oldest sub-clades are exclusively found in Central-Northwest Africa, where it, and consequently Y-chromosomal Adam, is believed to have originated about 140,000 years ago.[1] The clade has also been observed at notable frequencies in certain populations in Ethiopia, as well as some Pygmy groups in Central Africa.

this is why I say "black"...they try so hard to divide the continent they trip over themselves and contradict themselves in the process lol.

u guys still at this, i figured it was an attempt to humor me.
