Based upon the fact that the EARLIEST/ORIGINAL AE had distal limb elongation indicative of tropical adaptation I have to assume that they were in the same melanin range as other Africans of recent (Holocene)Sub-Saharan origin.

Your thinking rates; 3 out of 10 in terms of perception; and 2 out of 10 on the integrity scale; however you rank a 9 out of 10 in terms of bias. So why even pretend otherwise? Just cut & paste some more plagiarised nonsense and we'll continue "the game".

Thought Writes:

On a side note, one of the interesting things about this melanin map is that the areas that have the "darkest" Africans also seem to have the "tallest" Africans.

You are must truly “be on something”. I also think you have serious problems understanding English language, because your answers seem to be way of base, from addressing what has been repeatedly said in my comment. Here is the full quote you provided earlier, and now you are pathetically crediting it to me as the source: talk about plagiarizing; not giving the credit where it is due, even when this unsavory act of yours is pointed out on a regular basis. Here is the full quote of what you provided us, from another thread:

An earlier Orionix reference:
"...the present study on the Y-chromosome haplotype shows that there are northern and southern Y-haplotypes in Egypt. The main Y-haplotype V is a northern haplotype, with a significantly different frequency in the north compared to the south of the country: frequencies of haplotype V are 51.9% in the Delta (location A), 24.2% in Upper Egypt (location B), and 17.4% in Lower Nubia (location C). On the other hand, haplotype IV is a typical southern haplotype, being almost absent in A (1.2%), and preponderant in B (27.3%) and C (39.1%). Haplotype XI[important in Ethiopia] also shows a preponderance in the south (in C, 30.4%; B, 28.8%) compared to the north (11.7% in A) of the country.”

Given that the haplotype XI is E-M78, and is part of the PN2 Clade (of sub-Sahara African origin), we have this from another Orionix source:

The cluster E-M78 was found in eastern Africa at an average frequency of 17.7%, with the highest frequencies in the three Cushitic-speaking groups: the Borana from Kenya (71.4%), the Oromo from Ethiopia (32.0%), and the Somali (52.2%). Outside of eastern Africa, it was found only in two subjects from Egypt (3.6%) and in one Arab from Morocco.

And you were saying…about the haplotype XI?

And you're a liar. I didn't post this study. It was someone else here. Haplotype XI is not so common in Ethiopia compared to Eurasia.

The Horn of Africa is an extension of land between the Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Aden, is occupied by Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, and Djibouti, whose cultures have been linked throughout their long history.
Geneticists consider the horn of Africa as a separate entity from other parts of Africa then so do I. The horn has always served as a corridor for migrations out and back to Africa. This is the case since the Neolithic.

In modern Egypt no. But in ancient Egypt Yes! The majority of the population was concentrated around the Luxor-Aswan area which is still predominately black today. Most people in this region are dark brown to black.

Most people don't know but many early anthropologist believed the skeletal remains of Northern Africa were Khoisan. This was the Metchnoid remains which also at one time were tossed around in speculation.

Not all Khoisan people look like the ones in Southern Africa, and the ones in Tanzania are black. The Hadza are the oldest of the Khoisan population.

So are you saying that Northern and Middler Egypt was just empty by that time?

However i was talking about the San and Tutsi, who have relatively lighter skin tones compared to other southern Africans. 2 million Tutsi were killed because of that.

Also there are groups in Northern Sudan who call themselves Sudanese Arabs.

These people are predominantly darker skinned compared to the average Cairen but still lighter compared to the average southern Sudanese.

Both the Tutsi and Hutu of Rwanda are quite dark. And it is the Eurocentric Hamite myth (almost as ridiculous as the ideas you are espousing), that exacerbated the ethnic conflict in Rwanda:

Africa's most violent large scale conflicts manifest a virulent misinterpretation of group consciousness constructed along lines of colonial classification of African ethnicity. The classification divides Africans into three groups, Hamite, Bantu, and Nilote. This is a devastating racial coding based on erroneous assumptions advanced by racial supremacists and misguided scholars. http://www.africanfront.com/research/research1.php

Please stop blaming the whites for everything. Blacks are not perfect.

You didn't see all San and Tutsi. There are quite light skinned ones. The original Tutsi were descended from Cushitics, this is why many of them are lighter skinned.

No, because most of the population density in the north was mostly around the Delta. Since pre-dyanstic times it recieved influxes from Palestine and Mesopotamia. During the dynastic time also Nubian mercenaries were often settled in the Delta as well. In the Tell-Amarna tablets it records Nubian mercenaries being stationed along the border of Palestine[Caanan].

Also there are groups in Northern Sudan who call themselves Sudanese Arabs

---

Yes, there are also Beja people, Nuba people[don't confuse with Nubians], Baggara,and other various ethnic groups. The Baggara claim to be Arabs but cannot be differentiated from Southern Sudanese. The Jaaliyin are Arabized Nubians. Not to mention in regions like Dongola and on the southern Egyptian border Mameluke, Turkish, and Albanians have intermingled with the Nubians. Ask any Sudanese about Magaraab Nubians living in Dongola and other regions.

During the Middle Ages when Arabs were allowed to police portions of Upper Egypt many were driven southward into Northern Sudan. Some of these Arab tribes still exist in Sohag , Minya, and Asyut. The same with the Ja'afra in Aswan. In Upper Egpypt there is a pusedo caste system with the Arab tribes on top and the indigenous Fellahin on the bottom. During the Middle Ages the Arabs used Fellahin fields to graze their live stock. No Arabs were allowed to own land so many just became parasites to the indigenous Fellahin.

Eventually many of these tribes were scattered further south into Sudan mingling either with the Beja or Nubian populations there. The Arabs had been coming to Sudan from the Red Sea area where many used the gold fields there.

Technically most Sudanese are not literaly Arabs except in speech. Some few are bedouin tribes but are very diluted. The only real bedouin tribe in Sudan are the Rashadiah who migrated across the Red Sea to Eriteria[sp] and some know reside in Sudan.

Which only shows the diversity of the Nile Valley. Many Upper Egyptians since the 1950's have moved into Cairo. Most frequently they live in slum districts. My very own family resides in one of these developments. The Southern Sudanese are probabaly the darkest of all Africans.

What does the Tutsi have to do with the San?
The pgmyies[Twa] in the Equatorial forest zone are relatively lighter than most Africans to. This does not mean intermixture with non-Africans. The Hutu and Tutsi situlation is more complex than just pigementation. These two groups already were at odds before the Belgium came but was intensified by pusedo Anthropological concepts like the ''Hamitic'' myth that gave Hutu nationalists and excuse to reclaim their land from the foregin invaders which were the Tutsi. The Belgium identified with the Tutsi giving them the false recognition and status of some lost ''white'' race deep in Africa.

About the Hamites being white is a fallacy.

Actually Ethiopians were also classified as white.

However Genetic studies proved over and over that they are not white.

PCA was used to provide a visual representation of population clustering based on haplotype variation (fig. 4). The first principal component (X-axis) accounts for 55.1% of the variance, and the second principal component (Y-axis) accounts for 10.5% of the variance.

In general, populations cluster by geographic origin. The most distinct separation is between African and non-African populations. The northeastern-African that is, the Ethiopian and Somali populations are located centrally between sub-Saharan African and non-African populations.

Studies suggest a recent and primary subdivision between African and non-African populations, high levels of divergence among African populations, and a recent shared common ancestry of non-African populations, from a population originating in Africa.

Anceint Egyptians were related to Ethiopians and Somalis. They are all in the NE African cluster.
