Equatorial Africa describes more clearly the nature of the people, their relationship to the continent, and most importantly their relationship to other peoples throughout the world. "Equatorial people" would indicate indigenous people of the world closest to the equator, from the East Indian, Australian, Filipino to the African, and to some extent Oceania and South America. These people are known to be either closely related to each other or very similar in appearance and experience (especially in interactions with white Europeans). This would be a direct contrast to the Northern Eurasian supergroup of people. Equatorial Africans are also linked closely to the Southern Eurasian Supergroup of people, as the migration patterns across the Indian Ocean have indicated direct cultural ties (E.x Madagascar shows Chinese/South East Asian mixture, while Indonesia/Thailand has shown peoples identical in appearance to Equatorial Africans). This is significant as most of the western world is unaware of the similarities across the Indian Ocean cultures from Africa to Indonesia, in both directions. The main goal is to re-integrate the significance of Black African oriented people among the rest of the population.
