Abstract: This dataset represents the George Murdock map of ethnographic regions for Africa linked to the Human Relations Area Files database housed at Yale University http://www.yale.edu/hraf//. With thanks to HRAF President, Carol R. Ember, Ph.D. These data were published in the Ethnographic Atlas by George Murdoch which is now available in the Digital Editions collection of the University of Pittsburg Press: http://www.library.pitt.edu/articles/database_info/hraf.html. With thanks to David Bauman of the University of Pittsburg Press. Polygons for this map were digitized by Harvard Professor Nathan Nunn, from "Tribal Map of Africa" a fold out map from the book "Africa: Its peoples and Their Culture History" by George Murdock, 1959. http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/224494 Coastlines from the Digital Chart of the World were used to replace the coastlines in the Murdock map. http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/26783779 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Chart_of_the_World Harvard professor Suzanne Blier, with the assistance of graduate student Julia Finkelstien added attribute data from Human Area Relations Files (HRAF). CGA GIS scientist, Anna Arzrumtsyan and Clark University M.A. Candidate in GIS, Jerome Chia-Rung Yang carried out the symbolization working with Suzanne Blier and GIS scientist, Ben Lewis of the Harvard Center for Geographic Analysis. Now this layer can be symbolized by the public. Any user can find the "style" option under properties and choose any variable with its style file to symbolize this layer. If any part of the style name is hidden, one can drag the left boundary of the "properties" pop-up box and make the full style name visible. Please refer to supplemental information for the original full name of each variable.
