::::Wdford, I support the scope you suggest. Maybe we can put it up for a vote, or maybe it is not necessary per Slrubenstein as it is policy. If Zara can establish a direct connection between all the 18th and 19th century observers(ie Volney, Morton, Nott, Gliddon, Charles Darwin) and Afrocentrism, then  her proposal that includes the term "Afrocentrism" is justified. If she cannot establish a connection then her proposal is original research. Somehow, we have made a lot of headway with discussions, but we need something tangible.
