THE VALUES IN TRUTHS DEPEND ON THE SOURCES OF ORIGINATION
African people aren't regarded as an indiginous people because we predominate on our continent.
I find this rationale to be absolutely ludicrous. The essence of being indigenousness is being first there, or being descended from those who were first there. The problem with descriptions and other qualifications that define and shape international perspectives is that once it has something to do with Africans the goalposts are going to be tweaked and adjusted to confirm with his-story rather than to confirm with the truth.
Obviously I will not place your findings above that of an egyptologist with a long and proven investigative background into this area of study . To quote Doctor Ben, "History is quite clear on the role the Africans, "Negroes" or "Bantus", played in the cultural development of the Persians when they established their nation of Elam. This high culture (civilization) was established by the same Africans who also established their high culture in Kimit, (Egypt, Sais, etc.) Nubia (Sudan, Merowe, etc), Kush (Ethopia, Cush, Axum, etc.).......and all other areas of the African continent" end quote.
Most of the African Historians who exploded the myths and ill-conceived notions of history that followed a pattern of lightening whatever was originally black in futherance of Global White "Tarzan and Jane" scenario support DFoctor Ben's findings. These include everyone from Cheik Ante Diop to Ivan Van Sertima.
If all groups in this world descended from one source, I find the distinction of a variance in the genetic strain of black people or Africans quite inconsequential. For example, how does that impact on things like Sickle Cell Anemia? Does this variance mean that some none African groups are more likely to be suceptible to the trait than Africans of varying genetic strains.
Like I said, we spend too much time in "getting to know you" paternalizations with others, and "although we have commonality of pigment we have deeper differences that we cannot see" with ourselves, rather than acknowledging that the prism through which we are all viewed is disinterested in such distinctions. The genetic differences between Africans did not grant them a pass from being considered qualified for the task of human beast of burden, and does not grant them immunity from traditional discrimination. For a group that continue to be treated and regarded as a stain on the human tapestry regardless of the internal variance in our genome appearance, some of us spend an awful lot of time on these inconsequentials.
The bars and ceilings that keep Africans on reservations of inequality in this world are not permeable to some African genomes and impermeable to others. They have been broadly configured to accomodate that purpose for all of us, regardless of our obsession with these differences. Perhaps if our efforts and concentrations were more focussed on this reality rather than "kumbaya" ministrations, who knows, we might even start making some real progress. That's my tuppence on it anyway.
