ippolito said:Yes is the same text I have read in the scientific magazine.....
one strange thing in one of my travels i have spent 2 weeks in Nossy be
a nice little island near the main Madagascar.....there I saw many africans with oriental eyes is the only place in Africa with this particular ethnic caratteristic.
Well, as it is written in both articles, the eye protection has been "added" by mother nature to protect from snow glare and brightness. As an Italian, you go to the sea side, maybe in Rimini or other, and... you wear sunglasses to protect you from the sun's reflection off the water. Ok so it's the same for people living in this island, they have probably developped that through the ages. Do you remember the name of the island ? I could probably tell you that there is a remote possibility that they are of asian descent, but I have to know of which island you are talking about.
One question.....can you dinstinguish a korean from a japanese?
I can understand only looking how they dress.....
The answer is : yes, but not really. Explanation : Basically, Asian inhabitants from Mongolia, China, Japan, Korea, are of the very same species. Japanes, since they lived "isolated" on an island for a long time have developped facial bones structures and skin complexion slightly different from the continent. Then same thing happened with korean in a different way. So, at one stage, the were quiet different. You can stil see the difference fairly well today when you compare a "pure bred korean" (I dont like the term, but it's the one that goes along with it...) with a "pure bred japanese". But since Korea was invaded several times by chinese and japanese, the "extra-territorial" breeding has taken it's toll (if I may say so). The more it is easy to travel, the more difficult it will become to tell the difference, in a few generation that is. But today it is still possible. Of course clothes, languages, accents, and comportments can help you a lot.
I am agree that everywere it possible to find very nice people end bad people...

chinese when come here it is easy to understand as they wear horrible clothes Hold on the ramp Ippolito, in a few years the chinese will be the best clients for all those fancy shops you are talking about. just be patient and, if yo9u are wise, open one of those shop right now, and learn chines. You'll be a rich man within 10 years...
meanwhile japanese women have sometime very nice dresses....(perhaps they bought in Milan or in Rome)....I saw many jp customers in via condotti near the spanish steps were are Valentino, roberto Cavalli Yves Sanlaurant Bulgari shops

Did you study antrophology? Oh YES !!!!
the island is Nossy be is a turistic place in north west of Madagascar the biggest island in Africa.
Well, that's it Ippolito, Nosy Be the largest and Nosy Faly are two of the Islands off the north-west coast of Madagascar ( a 3rd one is called Nosy Sainte Marie on the north-east coast). Now the first humans to come to the then deserted area (Madagascar and surroundings) were mostly Africans, coming to the east / south east, and a rather large numbers of Indonesians and Malaysian migrants came to the more northern part of Madagascar. (and now you know why you have seen "asian eyes" over there!!!) All those people arrived between year 0 and 900 of our era, (it's not known precisely but happenend over a rather long period of time) which means more than 1'000 to 2'000 years ago. They were called "Merinas" also known as "Hovas", close parents to the "Bestileos" They had a lot of time to mix, the eye feature stayed and the dark skin stayed. Lovely mix, I must say. And that is what you have seen when you recently travelled over there. You'll find almost the same mix in the Comores, Mayotte and Maritius Islands.
But of course, the same population of Malaysian and Indonesian migrants missed the island of Madagascar and therefore arrived on the African continent as well. So it's not much of a surprise to find "asian eyed" black tribes.
for some days...but have you been in Rome? yes i have and it's a beauty. I'll be back..

ippolito said:Hey "ascate" you are like a book.....you know everything...so I
get you that you study or studied antropology..
you are so clever in all subjects...
I have been in Nossy be as in Mauritius and Sayshelles and phuket
and Maldives ....but my favorite is Rangiroa in the tuamoto islands
french Polinesya....
thank you for the compliment, but it's my job. In fact it's called anthropo-paleontology, and it's also a passion.
Yes I agree, Rangiroa is a great place excepted that it's too close to Mururoa (where the french installed their atomic trial center in 1963) for my liking, We do not know exactly what the real damage will be later. And if one of thos "bottle" crack open, it will be a disaster... Let's pray that it doesnt.
That really sounds damn interestingyimija said:thank you for the compliment, but it's my job. In fact it's called anthropo-paleontology, and it's also a passion.
