Black Kenichi:

Thanks for your opinion!
IMO while I agree that there are dynamite looking women in each CIV ethnic group, some things do stick out about the Bhete.

I think the Bhete men are kinda............ "pretty" looking! While the women while beautiful are kinda "masculine" looking! IMO
I'll repeat Bhete women are beautiful but they seem to be more masculine looking then some of the Bhete men!
However I'd still die a happy man with a Bhete wife.

Akan women are just hot. Love the Akan "don't Bleep with me" mentality both the men and women possess!

Senoufo women are just so beautiful and near innocent looking.

I haven't seen very many Malinke women to assess their overall beauty but I'll take your word for it.

the Malinke very pretty. I ll post a few for u

And about the men i think the Bhete are the Hottest, closely followed by the Senoufo and Malinke
The Akan can be fine as well.

toi mm tu ne vois po ke ca ressemble a chief?
il zon Bhete-izer le mot lool

Sybellah:

Looooool c'est pas toi oooh, c'est peu être possible heiiin, parce que les bhetes ont été au contact des english

Sybellah:

wow the ivorian kente and his design, just wonderfull, le petit la est trop mimi, ça me rappelle trop mon enfance, mais j'ai perdu ma tof, je la referais quand je vais go back au country trop de souvenir

ah bonn? je pense ds les 16-17centchoin la no? mais est ce que c'etait pendant lgtps? i thought we all were in contact with them before the french

Sybellah:

yes they have been in contact with the english long time before the arrival of the french, if u read the doc about the neyo i give u, u wiil learn about that, for example even if the soubré bhete in not influenced by others ivorians languages, there a lot of englih word in their bété( some people told me that in our group on facebook) all the ivorian littoral have been in contact with english( i know for kroumen, bhete, neyo, nzema, agni sanwi) but i don't know if it's the same for bawle, senoufo, wê, gouro, ébrié, attié etc....

eeh r u serious english in Bhete language? like what for example, except for tchiffi
maybe Royal was right after all about some euro mixing, but i have a hard time believing and accepting it

ok this is some word in bété of soubré (j'ai pris ça dans le groupe bhété, parce que moi même je ne maitrise pas le bété de soubré):Picture=pitché(photo), glass=glassi(verre)bicycle=bacyclo, matché=allumette,souklou=school, sukumassi=schoolmaster,etc.... et dans ce groupe les gens affirme aussi que c'est le vrai bété!!

tchieee
mais a tu deja demande a un koro au village si il pense qu'il ya eu vraiment melange avec les euro? ds votre tradition la, c implike kelke part, ou on parle seulement de contact? je vais lire tn doc la c porke je suis un peu tro occupe

Non j'ai pas demandé, mais je pense que c'est seulement les contacts, je vais essayer de creuser un peut plus cette question, le doc est tres intéressant, tu apprendra beaucoup sur les neyos et leur rapport avec les anglais et les portugais

for the portuguese check this out, it's interesting:
they r the ones who are somewhat mixed with us, not us with em...

The Auton et. al. (2009) study is not the only autosomal study, although it does reveal that southwestern Europeans have more negroid admixture than all other regions of Europe and that excess southwestern European haplotype diversity is the result of negroid gene flow. A more recent study conducted by Athanasiadis et. al. (2010), which used SNP haplotypes and microsatellite loci from the autosomal F7 and F12 genomic regions, discovered that southern Europeans (including specific regions of the Iberian peninsula) possessed a statistically significant amount of negroid admixture, as determined by the percentage of SNP and microsatellite haplotypes shared with the sub-Saharan negroes of the Ivory Coast:

For the F7 genomic region, the samples from North Africa were found to share 24 of their 225 inferred haplotypes (10.67%) with the Ivory Coast. However, an almost identical percentage (10.41%) of haplotype sharing with the Ivory Coast was found for South Europe (28 out of 269 haplotypes). When each sample was examined separately, the South European samples were found to share 6.35% - 16.33% of their inferred haplotypes (SNPs and microsatellites included) with the Ivory Coast, while the respective values for North Africans ranged between 8.33% and 18%. A Mann-Whitney test showed no significant differences between the two groups of values (data not shown). The same results were obtained when haplotypes based only on SNPs were used (data not shown). Since both shores of the Mediterranean share the same percentage of F7 haplotypes with the Ivory Coast, this genomic region does not provide any support to the hypothesis that the Mediterranean Sea obstructs sub-Saharan gene flow.

As for the F12 genomic region, 21.85% of the North African inferred haplotypes (33 out of 151) are shared with the Ivory Coast, while in South Europe this percentage falls to 13.30% (25 out of 188), suggesting higher gene flow from sub-Saharan Africa to North Africa. When each population was examined separately, the North African samples were found to share 20.34% - 28.07% of their inferred haplotypes (SNPs and microsatellites included) with the Ivory Coast, while the South European samples were found to share 12.20% - 22.22% of their inferred haplotypes with the Ivory Coast.
