[QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [QB] [QUOTE]Ausar, the fact remains true that very few Egyptains consider themselves Black Africans and many if not most don't even think of themselves as Africans at all.[/QUOTE] ___This has no bearing upon the origins of the ancient Egyptians. [QUOTE]Most Sub-Saharan Africans are very distinct and stick out like a sore thumb, even in Upper Egypt.[/QUOTE] Yes, but they would stick out in areas like Somalia also. Somalis could pass for many people living from Luxor to Aswan [QUOTE]There is almost "Zero" racial affinity with Blacks among the Native Egyptians and even the Nubians don't consider themselves Negroid Africans, but see themselves as distinct people.[/QUOTE] This is simply not true. Many Egyptians have negriod traits. See the following: While the Upper Nile Egyptians show phenotypic features that occur in higher frequencies in the Sudan and southward into East Africa (namely, facial prognathism, chamaerrhiny, and paedomorphic cranial architecture with specific modifications of the nasal aperature), these so-called Negroid features are not universal in the region of Thebes, Karnak, and Luxor." (Kennedy, Kenneth A.R., T. Plummer, J. Chinment, "Identification of the Eminent Dead: Pepi, A Scribe of Egypt," In Katherine J. Reichs (ed.), _Forensic Osteology_, 1986. ) [QUOTE]The few Black Americans who happen to look similar to some Egyptians, would be those that have Caucasian Facial Features and Lighter Complexions, but even then their Cultural Manners gives them away, as soon as they open their mouth to speak or by the way they dress and behave.[/QUOTE] Most Egyptians[even the lighter ones] have flatter noses than the average Northern African or Arab. I repeat the shape of your nose is caused by climatic adaptation,and not caucasian mixture. Indigenous Africans can have naturally many shades or complexions without necessarily being mixed with caucasoids. Fact is modern Upper Egyptians have black African ancestry. [/QB][/QUOTE]
