Let me hit you with a little story, my guy. I'm sure you can tell from my pic that I am a white guy. But, I have always be wildly attracted to black women. (My wife is black and we have 3 beautiful mixed-race children together). Anyway, I am a particular flavor of white. I am Nordic. I'm a Viking, and super proud of that. Plus, my grandfather hammered Viking culture and pride into myself, my siblings and my cousins our entire childhoods. When I eventually met my wife and we were dating, I'd occasionally start talking about my culture. Then she said something to me that I will never ever forget. She said, "Baby, I love how passionate you are about your heritage. But, I need you to know that, as a black person in America, I don't know my background like that. And, it kinda hurts my heart." (I paraphrased. But, you get the idea...) When she said that, it kinda messed my head up. Because, a lot of what I love about myself I attribute to the blood of the violent, rapist, snow-bullies that I am descended from. (Haha... I say that because I understand ANY culture has some horrors in its past. Especially mine). My point is twofold. 1) Where you come from is nice to know. But, it certainly doesn't have to define you, or your future. 2) You could get an exome sequencing done, find where your ancestors are from and study those groups of people. That's what we did for my wife. Then I got to learn about a bunch of badass ancient African cultures. Then we went to Africa, which was AMAZING. OK, be safe bro. ✌🏻

The Negritos formed the indigenous population of Southeast Asia, including your Australia and New Zealand. Negritos were the first people to live in the Myamar, Cambodia, Indonesia.

Agreed. Understanding ethnic groups are actually critical in dealing with modern day issues. Yet Americans especially treat it as a taboo in Academia due to the early 20th century perversions of the subject. If we want to help anyone internationally, we should probably first actually understand what's most important to THEM rather than ourselves. If we. want to help save people from civil wars, genocides, etc, we should probably understand why such things exist. But that would require studying the "icky" subject of ethnicity and racial divisions.

Professional??? All he is doing is reading what's on the internet and half the information is wrong. Because in was written by someone white.

Spot on, we hate being seen as a monolithic race or group. We don't have the same culture, we don't enjoy the same traditional music (some come as a culture shock), we have different foods, different traditions, behaviours and ways of thinking. Just because we have the same skin color, does not make us the same people, just like the Germans and Swedish or French, Spanish, Italians, Romanians people in Europe. They are not the same and are proud of their uniqueness. A monolithic world would be boring. Diversity allows us to have different angles of opinions, debates and enriches us as being a colourful, creative and exciting world

The way I see it, there's "race" and there's "ethnicity". Race is a much more broad and much more arbitrary term, and it tends to mean entire continental groups (e.g. Black African, White European, Asian etc..). It's mostly a social construct. Where as ethnicity usually comes down to single specific cultural and ancestral populations. What you say about Africa being made up of many ethnicities, that also goes for the other racial continental groups. E.g. China alone has several ethnicities like the Han Chinese, Tibetan Chinese etc... But we still say they're Asian. Japanese and Thai look a lot different, but they still have the "Asian" look, so we say they're Asian. Irish and Swedish look different, but we still say they're "White" etc. It goes on and on.

People forget that "Africa" is a continent that has more than one ethnic group or "race" like what we find in Asia. While the stereotype that "Asians" only refer to East Asians like Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, etc... there are still Caucasians from Russia, South Asia and the Middle East. We also have Austronesians/South East Asians and even Aborigines.

Also Sudanese, Somalis and Ethiopia frequently score SE Bantu on their DNA and have higher portions than myself. Some anthropologists have also claimed the so called Bantu originally came from Ancient Egypt/Nubia due to similarities in languages.

You know, make up a category like "race" based on skull shapes, you end up with all of this nonsense. We have different facial characteristics that may or may not reflect our genetic makeup. The so-called black African "race" is actually a bunch of very different people that some ignorant Europeans decided to label as mostly one. You start with a bad premise, you end up getting into nonsense discussions about how many races of people there are on a particular continent.

When people refer to all people from Europe as "white" is to assume they're all one homogeneous ethnic group. But don't realize that Europeans are divided into major ethnic groups, with branches in those groups: Celtic, Germanic, Hellenic, Slavic, Baltic, Italic, Hispanic, Basque, Sami, Finno-Uralic, etc. Even to the point that our ethnic makeup is so diverse, our hair, skin, and eye color vary greatly, with a varying facial and body structures, even though Europeans are all Caucasoid.

Urbanized settlement areas and spaces have been in West Africa since 5000 to 4000 BCE. Well before Rome. Agriculture started at around 12000 BCE and reached an apex by 8000 BCE. metallurgy was present in the form of iron smelting between 1300-1200 BCE.

You gave general points and made some sweeping generalizations. Overall, a good intro to the geography of Africa but nothing more.

Most people already knows that all modern day Africans are not black in color. The problem is the these people are automatically referred to as African instead of their individual nationalities. Africa is a continent. Another thing is, you mean South Africa was colonized. Most African on the continent are black. Europeans are also mostly white but do not look alike and are different shade. There is a lot of generalizing in this video. The real question is do you know this from actual anthropological experience or did you just “read about it”? Another thing that people must remember is that race is a new, made-up idea used for stratification purposes.

We South Africans don't call ourselves black, we refer to ourselves by cultural or linguistic grouping, official forms list us as Africans which is confusing since technically everyone born on the continent would be one but the government got tired of people ticking the box labeled "other" for ethnicity and putting down African in pen on the line that follows on official forms/questionnaires. The term black is a hold over from apartheid and sometimes includes other people of non-African descent like Indians and Chinese people but always specifically excludes Europeans or people of European descent, and we use it as a term of understanding and grouping but not necessarily as one of identity. If you ask a "black" South African what they are or identify as, the answer will be a cultural group, a tribe or a clan name, if you get black as an answer then it's likely that the person you're talking to thinks that that is the answer you will understand because most of the world uses the term.

What is this kind of study about different races, ethnicity and languages is called?.....i like this so much.....is there any professional degree based on this?

Enriching and informative. All people make the colorful tapestry of life brilliant.

A lot of misinformation in this video. The Congolese don't look down upon the 'pygmy' population, and the 'pygmy' are not hunted down either. 'Bantu' is also not an ethnic group, nor is it a name that any native African person calls themselves. And the people you call 'Bantu' do not look the same. There are a few other things you got wrong, but I just wanted to point out those three. I recommend that next time you make a video about African ethnic groups, talk to actual African people to get some info, as well as consult some texts written by well respected African historians and scholars. You won't get any real info from European historians. There's already a ton of misinformation about Africa getting passed around, so it would do you good to dig carefully and consult the right people and sources.

Ohm Neh that’s a lie, Bantu is the word anthropologists use to group the peoples who originated in Cameroon/Nigerian border and spread throughout the rest of Africa and who have a language with the same root and similar culture. Hence Bantu. And yes the Pygmy are getting hunted down in the Congo. But that’s what the Bantu did all over Africa which is why they are the most dominant ‘peoples’ on the continent.

Lonely Boy I see you’re one of those amateur white anthropologists with your insistent on low iq and non applicable classifications. That they’re used as an ethnic classification doesn’t make it hold any water. There are not “Bantu people” or even Pygmy people. They’re not targeted because they’re Pygmy or because the Bantu are supposedly more violent. If you have evidence of this genetic violence and other nonsense post it

People in these comments have taken sooo much of what mason has said here totally out of context cus they are too sensitive and scared to have a conversation about race and diversity. Now while I do feel mason underestimates modern idealogoy of "blackness" in africa, I understand what hes getting at and its absolutely right(im black by the way). Sure in some context we may all see ourselves as "black" or afro centric or whatever. But on a deeper level there are clear cultural and sometimes racial barries that come up even amongst africans. That doesn't mean we cant be well off now but blackness is a very new and 21st century concept that never previously existed. And mason is just trying to make sure we appreciate the diversity of african people and not lump togther just to make silly points for our conspiracy theories.

I am still not anywhere near full. And i LOVE IT

Your videos are always to the point and informative, thanks for adding to my knowledge of humans.

Please stop spreading the illusion of race that is in America or else where to Africa and its people. Your knowledge about Africa appears to be the one that can be found in books or websites written by people who do not know about Africa. The terminology "Black" itself was socially engineered.I do not know any African tribes that refer to people by their skin color in their language (dialect). I know that you have a desire to grow your knowledge about the world and i appreciate the time you took making this video. However, to start to know about Africa, learn about its History thousands of years before the slave trade and what came afterwards. Start from the history of Kemet (Ancient Egypt). Please check the work of Cheikh Anta Diop, Theophile Obenga, Mbombog Mbog Bassong. Peace & Ubuntu!

Girl Bye! if we were so united the white man wouldn't have been able to divide and conquer us so easily! If we were so united there wouldn't have been so many tribal driven wars after independence from various colonies, I mean look at South Sudan they fought for independence for so many years from Sudan only to turn around and kill each other because what? If we were so united back in the day (like 30 - 50 years ago) our grandparents wouldn't have given our parents shit for marrying into the tribe next door, You still find this in uber-traditional families. The concept of black unity is an American thing, when one race is the status quo (in this case black), humans will find a reason to divide themselves. I love Africa more than I love myself but to say we are united because of our race is a proper joke. 500 years of white invasion has opened our eyes but not enough to unite us under one race.

That is the thing, the so called black people are proud of who they are, and their complexions, it is the racist stereotypical people that is always trying to divide them with their lies, or trying to tell people dark as some Africans that they are Caucasian or something else, glad people are waking up and is rewriting some of their racist thinking of others and is correcting the lies! Most people in North Africa that is light skin ancestors are from other parts of the world, and were mixed with others, and is the youngest of all of the first people, just like in the Americas all mixed people are the youngest racial group, no matter how much Europeans try to act as if they have been around for thousands of years, its not true! I think a lot of countries have been brainwashed in so many ways by Westerners, or Europeans that were very ignorant and racist people in the first place, and is why people need to educate themselves more, and not listen to their ignorance of others because most of them have always been racist towards dark skin people? You seem to be very mature and have an open mind! "Keep them straight!

love as an african american a descendant from west africa, whether you are oromo, habesha, etc or whoever im proud to be a descendant of africa

Africa is a continent and its one of the most diverse continents in the world there are Barbers in North Africa Arabs in North Africa Bantus in West and Southern Africa Somalis in East Africa Nilotes in South Sudan, Uganda and Kenya Semites like Amhara in Ethiopia Khoison in South Africa Indians and White people in Southern Africa or in Kenya And very soon Chinese in Kenya, Zambia Senegal Ghana and Angola

Lord have mercy. Some inaccuracies. Horn of Africa is not exclusively Cushite, in fact many Ethiopians/Eritrieans are semetic, not cushite. Example, Oromos, Somalis, are cushite, amhara and tigray are semetic. On top of this, while its true some Ethiopians don't associate with being "black", I wouldn't go so far as to generalize this to being "anti-african", or to ethiopians broadly. I'm very proud to be African, but don't identify strongly with the term "black" as it dilutes heritage, culture, language, as intended by Europeans and Americans in modern context

There are way more races than just 3; in Europe one can easily tell apart a Pole (Slavic) from a Portuguese (Med); same in Africa - someone from Nigeria looks way different than someone from Somalia

I wouldn't call it "races." I think that's a problematic word. It's variations of a type of people. Or maybe zones? The terms Negroid and Caucasoid weren't so inaccurate but they took on loaded political terms and are too limiting. There are people between those terms so I'm fine with looking at populations. I see all these groups you mention as Euro or Euro-Asian populations. Some are Afro-Euro populations.

First & foremost I am Eritrean, Habesha and I am proud & I won't forget my culture & my country but I'm also proud to be black, & I don't look down on anyone else, for we are all brothers & sisters. And in the end we come from one continent & are connected, & all God's children. Also Ethiopians, & Eritreans are not just Cushite but Semetic too.

Interesting video. It's important that Americans and especially Black Americans understand that Africa isn't a homogeneous bloc. You should've mentioned also North Africans and the diversity of the Berbers. Berbers from Kabylia for example can be blonds with very fair eyes and skin, while Berbers from Southern Algeria or Morrocco like the Mozabite people or Chleuh people can have a darker skin.
