- Who are the Nilotic Peoples? The tallest, darkest and thinnest humans on Earth? Today we're going to discuss one of the most physiologically, genetically and historically fascinating racial groups in the world, who lie in one of the most turbulent regions of Africa.
Just who belongs to this unique group of people? Why do they have the phenotypic traits we see today? What is the history of the Nilotic peoples? And how did they impact those around them? All questions we will discuss and more in today's video. Be sure to let me know your thoughts on the Nilotes, Nubians and other Nilo-Saharan peoples and as always thank you for watching!

It's worth noting that Paul Kagame's daughter, Ange Kagame is like 7 feet tall and smoking hot (look it up)
She's 6 4 (thx Google), which is actually even exceptional among her own family. So it's not like all women there are this huge. ^^
Actually it's a lot closer to 6'4". Hm, I might come off as cruel and unsympathetic saying this but sometimes dictators are a requirement for transitioning unstable weak states to strong, developed one's. Kagame is an evil mass murderer, true, but he brought order to one of the most divided countries in the world and has expanded the economy of Rwanda so much that we may finally see development in East Africa.
Smoking hot ? Her forehead looks like a deadly weapon
Only pamela anderson is hot.
she looks stunning in some pictures, and like an alien in others. overall, she's like average pretty.

Hi Monte. Oh dont be sorry. He who does nothing in the face of injustice is as guilty as those who practice it. I got angry but never really hurt. Racists are taught to be haters. I wasnt. My parents were my teachers. In kind, I hoped I have taught my son to be a good man and respect women and all people. He is also not homophobic which is important to me. He and his wife are expecting their first child. It is the biggest thrill for me. Hes a whisperer...kids and animals are just naturally attracted to him. I think he is going to be a wonderful father. I know it. And then of course I get the grandmother revenge.as long as he's a good man, he will be a success.

I met a Nilote one time at University of Kansas. He was so dark, so tall, so thin, so "calm." I was fascinated, and he was fascinated with me being fascinated. He was there on sports scholarship and very kind to "teach" me about his background. I'll never forget it. I always think of him when people talk about South Sudan.

Don’t bring western attention to these people. Westerners have brought death and destruction everywhere they’ve went.
@Joe Bidumb It is very distressing to think the rich and powerful are "organized" and they have both money and have bought themselves influence and so many ordinary folk are still stuck at conspiracy level ("It's just a conspiracy theory, it's not real, don't worry."). It is a coordinated effort to return to feudalism. They are the plantation masters and we are the farm help and even the livestock. They seem unable to resist the desire to "manage" us.

Am so proud to be a Nilote from Northern Uganda, an Acholi. Often my workmates admire the way I speak and my skin color too😃😃👐

That’s cool if that’s what you think and feel but it’s not black supremacy for black people to comment that they love the dark skin of these people and express pride in their blackness - any more than its white supremacy to feel proud of fair skin. It’s also ridiculous to insinuate that you haven’t seen any racist comments here from any other group then blacks when a cursory look at the comments on any video this guy puts out is proof that racists come in all shapes and sizes.

I am a highland nilote from Kenya. The history claimed that we originated from Egypt, migrated to Sudan where our cousins remained, then migrated further to Mt. Elgon where we disbursed further. Some went to Uganda, others to Kenya and others to Tanzania. The nilotes dorminates long distance races internationally.
It's not a claim brother; Nilotic people were the ancient Egyptians. But White and Egyptian or North Arabs (immigrants and settlers from the Middle East) historians stole, erased and appropriated the black civilization and history of Ancient Egypt. We(Jieeng/Dinka Nilotes) have the same story of origin that's passed down through oral traditions; after we moved Southwards from Egypt along the Nile we first settled in the Northern parts of the Sudan: Wadi Alfa at the border of Egypt, Shendi, Omdurman, Khartoum, etc. before we moved Southwards again settling along the Nile River in the Present day South Sudan 🇸🇸. Khartoum is a Jieng word Kaartuom meaning the meeting/junction of two rivers (White Nile and Blue Nile) , but Sudanese Arabs appropriated everything like what Egyptian Arabs did. Arabs are not real and indigenous Africans. So Nilotics(Jieng/Dinka, Nuer, Shilluk, Acholi, Anyuak, Luos of South Sudan, Uganda, Kenya and Congo, Kalenjin, Turkana, Masaai, etc.) are just one people (relatives). We have a lot of similarities in our languages, cultures, traditions, etc.
The truth is hard to hide we are the first people that God made all others come from us, black and proud

This is one of the most positive threads I've encountered. Beautiful...indigenous people of planet earth; Eden.
All humans are indigenous on planet earth. Nobody came from space.
@@marcopony1897 One woman birth a million plus people at one time...that makes a lot of sense, really? Almighty God is sovereign. He can do what He wants, and He decided that a woman from the region we know as Africa would populate the earth, Eve. Indigenous means first, original. Someone came first. So we're not all indigenous.
@@trishgordon4269 it doesn't make sense because there was never only one woman on earth. We are all equal descendants of people who walked before us on this earth and there are no human races on which basis you could say "we were first". There isn't a existing human race who came "first", people outside of africa are basically africans who colonized the world 50-70'000 years ago and changed a little bit looks over thousands of years, but they didn't became a new race because of the few genes which determine skin colour. So your statement makes absolutley no sense. All humans are indigenous on earth.
@@trishgordon4269 "Eve" is just as much my ancestor as yours. And you haven't always been here, just like me. We are both equally indigenous on earth. We were created on earth and we must share the earth.
@@marcopony1897 That was the simplest explanation I thought to give, and it was clear. There's no getting around who the first human beings were on this planet and generations of Nubian people are throughout the earth to this day. Nubian people were here before any diversity happened. You will never find the words Africa or African in the Holy Bible, so I defer. God did something miraculous when it came to His plan for mankind's ethnicities.
You will find the land of Egypt, Ethiopia, Cush, Canaan...mentioned in God's Word. All in the region we call Africa, where Nubian people still dwell. Have you ever watched "Henry Louis Gates Finding Your Roots"? Gates' episode with actress Lipita Nyongo was profound. He was able trace her genealogy to a tribe who were direct descendants of Eve. Scientists have been reporting and documenting this revelation for centuries that mankind began with Nubian people. Truth is just truth.
With science and DNA knowledge has increased, and Gates uses this science on his show. It's interesting to watch people like Clint Black, Roseanne Cash and others discover their Nubian ancestors. They're always very excited. Roseanne Cash discovered that Angela Bassett was her cousin. I really didn't need any enlightenment concerning this, as I received this revelation through His Word, the Garden of Eden. People really should do a DNA, there always seem to be a section on the chart labeled "other" (basically unknown), that's Eve. We're all from one blood.

Knocked out I am talking about the relationships at the community and societal level, I lived these experiences whereas you have not. Governments of both sides promoted hatred and division amongst people and the death of john Garang prepetuated this whole separation situation. Governments of South and North Sudan do not speak for the people or represent their point of views. African governments are just full of corruption that it is unfair that foreignors like you get to say what people as communities feel about that state of their country. Peace to you.
- and it seems he continues to occupy the nilotes ancestral land(abyei?) with the FULL support of his people.
Knocked out I cant stress this enough, you are speaking about a corruptrd government who makes outrageous claims all the time. The president even once during a "democratic" election went on tv and menetioned how 99% of the country has voted for him. The reality could not have been further from that, the majority of the country hates him and want him gone because of his oppressive regime. My point is, just because he claims that people in the north suppport his views does not make it true. Politics in general is not as black and white as you might percieve it

Today I learned in medical school that melanin forms an umbrella structure over the nucleus, protecting it from UV damage. I'm probably going to marvel over this for the rest of my life. At the most molecular level of my being, God is protecting me. Such a beautiful concept.
Cool
While I do believe in a Creator, would say that it is more of a physical adaptation to environmental pressure than directly God. But God set up the laws/reactions that run creation, and so in an indirect sense you could say it is the Creator.
All humans have melanin .. it just that some further in respect to the skin levels or layers ( basale

• Herodotus said they loved furthest south even below the Nile East to the the Land of AEthiopia. The only land East of AEthiopia is Somalia.
• Secondly, he said they were the handsome & tallest of all men. Last time I checked Nilotes were dark asl [not being colourist]. Somalis are known world-wide for their handsomeness & tallness.
• Thirdly, Ancient Greeks & Romans did mention Somali city-states [in those days Somalia wasn't a single country]. Opone, Zeila, Sarapion modern-day Mogadishu, & many more. Go search Periplus of The Erythraean Sea. Shows you an actual Greek map of Horn of Africa city-states.
• Fourthly, the only pyramids Nilotes built were the ones in Sudan not Lower Egypt. They were smaller in size compared to Lower Egypt's pyramids.
• Last but not least, Ancient Egyptians themselves claimed to be from Northern Somalia [Land of Punt]. They called it Tet-Nejer or Land of Gods/God's land. Ancient Egyptian language even had similarities with modern-day Somali. Examples
• Hees is song in both languages.
• Ubax is flower in both languages.
• Rageedi is a perfect man in both languages.
• Qor-rah means sun in both languages.
• Awoowe means grandfather in both languages.
There are many more you can see online. My point is though that the Ancient Macrobians were Somalis, they are the tallest people near AEthiopia.
I think it's super cool to see the extreme ends of spectrums in terms of different features. The diversity in skin/eye/hair colors, different hair textures, and other features has always amazed me. I saw a short documentary about how one day (likely thousands of years off), humans will have mixed so much that most people will fall within a similar range for most of their features. Even though that has a lot of good connotations, I am still happy we are living in a time where we get to see a wide range of skin tones like this.
Just got this vid today! Great narration and content. We have been living in East Africa since 2004 and are very familiar with the Nilot/Bantu peoples of Uganda, the Sudan, Somalia, Kenya and Tanzania. Thanks for adding to and enriching our knowledge of the people we love!

Nilotes are probably the most purebread homosapiens that exist. Unlike Europeans, they likely have no neanderthal genes. It makes total sense when you consider that they lived much further away from the European people. They also adapted to live in their environments.
Can they consume dairy? That would help reveal just how isolated they have remained.
this is hogwash on so many levels hahaha
@@grim3016 Scientifically proven by DNA. But it should not be construed as a value decision of superiority or inferiority. DNA studies around the world have found that Sub-Saharan Africans have less neanderthal mutations mixed into their genome than any other race.
Absolutely!! We are indeed.
@@ephy1973 Thanks for clarification. The original commenter said they had no neanderthal genes at all, and I knew that couldn't be right.

@ Aryans It all depends on what you do with the concept. I didn't say that they were superior because anyone with intelligence knows there are NO superior beings. All Beautiful- no insecurities in that belief.
@Luna del Rey The word Aryan was therefore adopted to refer not only to the Indo-Iranian peoples, but also to native Indo-European speakers as a whole, including the Romans, Greeks, and the Germanic peoples.
As a Maasai, I do agree with the sentiments in the video.

Correct!
Nilotic peoples are the tallest humans on Earth, yet they are not the darkest... Surprisingly, this honour belongs to the Andamanese tribes, who are also among the shortest on Earth... 👍🙏🤗
the darkest are the Chopi people of Mozambique and the Bougainville islanders of Papua New Guinea.
There are a lot of really dark South Sudanese though. Like Malik Agar.
Though I doubt he's Nilotic, he looks more melanesian.
@@cobano Malik Agar is Nilotic, get it right. And we are definitely the darkest. Guess you haven't met many of us in real life.
Love these people. I made a 14 year-old 7 foot tall friend when I went to Uganda and am still in contact with him to this day. He has a very tough life with his family recently being split by a tribal attack on his village after he went home to South Sudan.

Great video! Just to let you know, when describing location of a river, you start with where the river starts and follow with locations where it flows afterwards not the other way around. Saying that the Nile river starts in Egypt is a big no no

Amazing. So smooth

What always leaves me in awe is how black skin enhances gold, reds, oranges and all bright colours as well as a perfect contrast for white. It’s absolutely stunning seeing these splendid colours enhanced but sort of wanes when worn by lighter skin
Every human is unique and beautiful in a different way.
Everyone is beautiful to their own.
Which is why we need to keep that by breeding with our own races
Please shut the fuck up because we are appreciating the beauty of the black race here and not every race you idiot.

The Nile flows from the south to the north. The Nile does not "snake its way down to lake Victoria". The Nile snakes its way down to the Mediterranean. The mistake was understandable but this distinction is very important.
Probably because we think of south as down.
Interesting I never knew that
Cuz the map is actually upside down
Chelo Diaz you beat me too it
The Nile goes nowhere near the Mediterranean the Mediterranean is in Europe

+Nina Potato Out of Africa theory is contested yearly with shocking new details about ancient civilizations. I'm not arguing or anything of the sort, purely entertaining the conversation, but you should hear some of the crazy 10,000 year old structures or mass-graves or agriculture across both Europe and Asia.
As I've been typing this I did begin to recollect and article explaining how in our infancy as a species we were most likely among all other groups of homo. Homo-sapiens, Homo-erectus, and dozens of other types populating almost like dinosaurs. We probably all killed them off. Neanderthalis is seen in few of the races across the world, like some Germans have the pronounced skull and everything. Science is very interesting when you really grasp the concept that we are animals, taking it as far as to associate with people's impulses and arguments and stuff being a defining feature of us being animals. For me it helps me re-affirm my humanity to make sure I'm always using my sentience to the best of my ability.
Pladimir Vutin - Wow if only other Americans thought and seen what your talking about would stop all this color and putting different people in areas of who's better and more powerful race... Climate means a lot too what mankind aka humanity color over thousands of years has adopted too.
The Nilotic peoples are peoples indigenous to the Nile Valley who speak Nilotic languages. They inhabit South Sudan, Sudan, Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, DR Congo, Rwanda and Tanzania. ... The Nilotes constitute the majority of the population in South Sudan, an area that is believed to be their original point of dispersal. This is awesome to know about your lineage!
Nilotes in Rwanda don't exist anymore ,they were absorbed by a southern cushitic group called Tutsi in Rwanda ,it doesn't exist anymore ,only partially nilotes exist.
@@jejeaye7021I’m Nilotic and I’m Tutsi. I am 6’7 and my grandfather was taller than me but he was killed in the genocide. He was darker but somehow I’m brown.
I'm from the Nuer tribe of South Sudan👊🏿💯
Your tribe has very interesting cultural features, in the family range, if I remember well.... I use to study them with my sophomore students in sociology class to teach them how much the idea of « family » is a social construct.... but I was convince that the Nuer lived in Upper Volta... m’y mistake !
Yessir! 🇸🇸 Same here!
Correction: the Tutsi and Hutu people were never ethnic groups they were social classes with the Tutsi being the upper class, Hutu being the middle class and Twa being the lower class. Instead people were classified according to clans but since we spoke the same language for centuries we are basically the same people.The reason Germans (and other colonialists) thought the Tutsis were “different” was because the royal clan Abanyinginya had migrated from North Eastern Africa to Central East Africa around 300 AD but had long integrated and even had children with the locals but had retained some features and were of course Tutsis but this was common knowledge. Another reason is because they used the divide and rule policy and classifying people into Hutu, Tutsi and Twa was ideal and created the pathway for tensions, hatred and mistrust to divide in a once united people.
NB: In countries like Rwanda, it is illegal and offensive to refer to someone as Hutu, Tutsi or Twa. We are all Rwandans and the so-called “ethnic groups” are a hoax to divide us
Thank you that explanation makes much more sense to me. The Hotel Rawanda movie left me sick. Royal family makes sense. Plus colonialism
Why are you lying
Stop lying, hutu and tutsi don't even have the same facial features.
So what you saying is we shouldn't believe our lying eyes
What came first, ethnic group or social class? This has to be settled before advocating for any correction!
Just to correct one of the facts shared in your video, the Nile river does not flow from Egypt to Lake Victoria. Rather, the vice versa is correct. It flows from Lake Victoria to Egypt. Bless🤙🏾
