Comment: It’s my belief that the widespread presence of people of African phenotype in ancient China and Japan (see these links: http://www.beforebc.de/600_fareast/02-16-600-06-04.html, http://www.beforebc.de/600_fareast/02-16-600-09-02.html ) shows a demic movement of people and their culture from Africa to the Far East in prehistoric, ancient times. African hair has a “wire” nature that allows it to be moulded and hold shapes and forms as in the above Rope Basket Coiffure. That Chinese women (pics. 5 and 7) wear the same rope basket coiffure as the African women seen in this page I think is an indication that had they not copied the style from contemporary African sources, that it was carried down from generation-to- generation from the basal African population there from ancient times - given the widespread occurance of this coiffure still today. Note also that picture 7 shows a woman with a pug nose and full lips as found amongst blacks. She seems representative of so many darker-skinned Chinese who look like slanted-eyed Khoisan, blacks minus the straight hair. Bear in mind that Chinese researchers note China’s African origins> (See; Yuehai Ke and Li Jin, et. al., African Origin of Modern Humans in East Asia: A Tale of 12,000 Y Chromosomes, Science, 292:5519, pp. 1151-1153, Issue of 11 May 2001.)..art, art history, Paul Marc Washington, paleoneolithic@yahoo.com
