gao, that is false!! I said they have social memes that operated their tribal life and though memes do change faster than genes, they take time to change. The closer you are to tribal life the harder it is to operate in a high density society. Ever see Crocodile Dundee? Well, in a small society you know and greet every person you see. This is the established greeting order in that society and you use a graded set of greetings that reflect the relative positions that you both hold in the society. well, he went along a New York street and tried to greet everyone he met, impossible, New Yorkers and any large urban group learn how to ignore the mass of those they do not know and pass them by. In a tribal society such an unknown person is a threat as it may be an invading tribe or whatever. This means that a person from a tribal background needs to be soccialised to not see strangers as threats and to be able to ignore the masses and select those he knows to interact with. This will take some period of time, but Africans come here and do it all the time. Those that come from smaller bush villages my take longer than those from Joburg, but they do adapt. It is quite clear you are using English as a second language as you are not able to read what I say clearly. It is this type of accusation that make most politically correct people look the fool.
