We are from a very specific area in Africa, West Africa
AA have of a much wider spectrum in skin tone and hair types than west Africans and its logical to conclude that the cause of it is mixture between West Africans and Europeans
clearly you've been miseudcated which is ironic kind of ironic for somone speaking as a authority on Africa
while the the ports AA forefathers/mothers were shipped from were predominately in certain areas of along the coast of West Africa its' been documented region of origin fo the ancestors of AAs extend as far as South East Africa(Mozambique if i'm not mistaken) into Central Africa(Congo,Angola,etc),West Africa and as far North as the Sahel(Mali,Mauritania,Niger,etc) and you can find every phenotype present in AAs contempoary AAs is found in umixed Africans in those regions..educate yourself and stop giving massah so much credit Toby
