"perhaps among the ...." ?

My experience is that people from Africa are good at telling the area
of Africa from which others come. As someone who recently
described someone I had met for about half-an-hour a few hours earlier
as having black hair, and then found an hour later that it was, and
had been, pure white, I know I myself have no hope of any such
ability, but I intellectually accept that it is possible for others to
have it.

So I assumed that, when you recognised "African" features, you meant
somehing specific.

An illusion shattered. Ah well.

And I was *so* impressed.
