[QUOTE]Originally posted by akoben08: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by akoben08: I'm not using "Sub-Ssahran" as Chimu, Brace et al do. Im just asking if thats the only recognised African type among the Natufian? Or is the "Eurasian" in fact the other African variant i.e. the elongated type found in North Africa.[/QUOTE]Interesting question. Prior to the Natufian [actually named after the town in Palestine where the remains were found], the skeletal remains of Isreal have characterestics more typical of Western Eurasians - very narrow nose opening, high nose ridge, flat [back of] heads [not elongated], little to no prognathism. Natufians had *very* wide nose openings, with low ridges, elongated back of the head, and substantial prognathism, which all characterise what Keita calls the 'broad faced' feature set. At this time these characteristics are relatively uncommon in Europe, however post Natufian, they will soon appear again in Greece. It was anthropologist Larry Angel [Keita's professor] who suggested in the 70's that neolithic greece was peopled in part by settlers from Nile Valley Africa. Angel's approach, like Keita's was a bit dry and cerebral. It is perhaps for this reason that [like Keita], he was never refuted and never -attacked- by Eurocentrists in the manner of Bernal [Black Athena], for example. But they are saying largely the same things about Ancient Greece. [/qb][/QUOTE]I remember an exchange with Chimu (under the name Salassin) tried to “prove” the Natufians weren’t black by quoting Brace saying they only had "whips" of Sub Saharan. That’s why I wanted some clarification. But I'm a lot clearer now from reading the various posts. I’ve never really gone in-depth with the Natufians. My knowledge of that region is dusty, mostly from past readings of people like Diop and Van Sertima on the Phoenicians and related colonies etc. I know they didn’t look like present day inhabitants, but I wanted clarification of the terms used to describe the various clusters etc. [/QB][/QUOTE]
