[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] Technically all this is about semantics and wordplay. It is no different than calling East Africans "caucasians" and therefore not "Negroid". This is the game being played here with DNA. "Eurasian" DNA does not mean someone who looks like Charleton Heston (the 10 Commandments movie). If that was the case then most African Americans wouldn't be considered black Africans then. Likewise, Zainab Badawi would also not be considered a black African even though she has some non African ancestry. But when you introduce the term "black" in scientific settings these people will try and pretend that there is no merit behind discussing skin color. That allows them to keep up the game of using semantics and word games to obfuscate the obvious point that many of these ancient groups did not look like the average European, then or now and thus using labels like "Eurasian" is designed more for propaganda purposes than actual anthropological understanding. Because anthropology is supposed to show relationships between populations and certainly Nile Valley peoples in ancient times were not more related to Eurasians than Africans. Heck that even applies to modern light skinned Berbers in many cases. [/QB][/QUOTE]
