"These limb indices do not appear to be allometrically scaled, so that the relatively short lengths of some Neanderthal limb bones should....."

^I downloaded said PDF and went through the associated text and the context has nothing to do with Mesopotamia. This quote is discussing adaptation and ontogenetic responses in appendage growth between 3 common ape species (Bonobos, Chimps, and Gorillas). They are trying to make sense of the interesting phenomenon that Bonobos have higher limb indices than the other two species.

^Where are you getting your information from? Do you even have a citation? The document you linked to mentioned no such study. Also, correction: The above that you put into quotations is from an Erik Trinkhaus study on Neanderthal limb proportions. The others, as stated are about non-human primate limb proportions. There is no mention of Mesopotamian limb proportions through out the entire document.
Stop scrambling for key-word search references that you hope support your position and learn how to properly cross reference from other studies. Post an actual citation and I can look it up and upload it.

the above link is probably a mistake this is a general thread on what were the limb proportions of Mesopotamians. I have not been able to find anything yet. The information could easily buttress your position and I would have to take that into serious consideration.

could you do me a favor and post that data here on the Palestinians. When I say data I mean the exact limb ratios as stated in the study thanks.
As I said if we look at a spectrum of ancient Near Eastern limb ratios and these are shorter than the Egyptians this could further but the nail in the coffin of the early Egyptians have some Asian in them theory. Don't get scared we're almost there.

Some of this data (actual numbers) were reported by Patricia Smith and I posted a link in Simple Girl's thread. The thing is, I'm pretty sure that you were a part of that discussion and I am not going to keep posting the same material for you people over and over when you don't want to digest it/ignore it the first time around, so go sift through the thread and find it. Smith (2002).

the name Patricia Smith does not appear in the thread "A study putting into question as to whether limb proportions are a result of genetics "

Ah, the drawbacks of a once quasi-academic discussion forum turned bigoted chatroom.
Are there any bigoted women on this forum? Hahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!
Forgive me, it's the Starr ultra superior light African Rum from Mauritius (damned French colonizers did one good job this, after drinking dodo bird forgot how fly).

lol.. the desperate search for wandering Cakazoids never ceases... Mayhaps they are found now among the Bonobos..
Full citation- Smith along with Holliday..
