Is it necessary to have the paragraph about the Lemba genetic and cultural origins? It is covered in Lemba people, and this level of detail is not pertinent to discussion of the hypothesis of their involvement in Gt Z. Babakathy (talk) 17:20, 13 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
The ancestors of the Lemba are postulated as being the originators of Greater Zimbabwe (a discussion that is repressed in Zimbabwe) so I guess it is pertinent. Although I note there is no note of their semitic DNA which would be especially relevant in that semitic peoples were heavily involved in the trade of ores from the region in History. 2001:8003:70F5:2400:4D5D:CCB:F17F:E633 (talk) 02:51, 13 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
I'm happy not relying on Gayre, but now we have the Lemba claimed sourced only to Bolts and Anderson, both unreferenced. Anderson's main work archived doesn't mention the Lemba at all, saying no black people could be the builders. Babakathy (talk) 09:56, 19 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
As this is a subsection of history of research would it be better to put Bolts in his correct historic epoch, rather than under Lemba? Babakathy (talk) 10:55, 19 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Probably. But we should use nothing to do with Gayre. If we can't find anything better maybe it should be left out. I thought I'd fixed this some time ago, hopefully I didn't make it worse! Doug Wellertalk13:59, 19 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
