As Bernard points out, this pdf was a compilation of student papers, by undergrads in a Yoruba language program at the University of Georgia. From the instructor's introduction:

Quote

In all cases, the students were not provided with any reference or review until the day of their
first paper presentation. The aim of the project or requirement was for the students to do research on
Yoruba language, culture and people, particularly and Nigeria in general. The papers have not been
edited, either for style or contents (except in cases where I, as a native speaker and instructor, has
found statements that are completely fabricated by the students) so as to showcase the findings of the
students. As might be expected, there are many ideas in these papers that are controversial, strange,
suspect or sometimes almost outright annoying but these are the materials and ideas available in
libraries in this country about the Yoruba language and people.

It's probable that the kid writing the paper you quote was using the same flawed resources available on the net - pseudohistory, pseudoarchaeology, and pseudolinguistics - that you keep presenting to us as "evidence". I think it's pretty funny that you are now turning around and presenting his or her naive little term paper as "valid scholarly acknowledgement".

And you still haven't responded to Katherine GG's demolition of the Egyptian-Yoruba wordlist....
