[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lion: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by MindoverMatter718: [QB] @ lion, I posed this question towards another individual, but it seems you might be under the same mindset, so give me your take on the following... [QUOTE]Originally posted by MindoverMatter718: What's your take on the extreme tropical adaptations of the ancient Egyptians being displayed from pre-dynastic throughout all dynasties? [/QUOTE]I'm not sure what you mean by "extreme adaptations" The largest accounting for the variant types in AE is admixture from every direction, including North regardless of different continent name. -from the earliest dynasties on [QUOTE]Originally posted by MindoverMatter718: I say this because you seem to be an individual who might like to equate modern Egyptians who resemble SW Asians and coastal north Africans as being most closest to ancient Egyptians when in fact these populations from coastal north Africa and SW Asia do not exhibit these tropical adaptations, in fact coastal north Africans exhibit intermediate body plans between Europeans and S.S.A'. While the ancient Egyptians exhibited extreme tropical adaptations wherein their brachial and crural indices were actually higher than in many S.S.A populations.[/QUOTE]that's not my idea [QUOTE]Originally posted by MindoverMatter718: You might try to throw in "Caucasoid" features, but you forget about populations like the Tutsis, Ethiopians, Somalis etc...who also exhibit these so called "Caucasoid" features, and are commonly referred to as "Caucasoids" by the erroneous scholars, but these African populations such as Tutsis, Somalians etc.. [/QUOTE]The word "Caucasoid" features with the word placed in "quotes". If they put on white make up would they look like Roman statues? I don't think so. The features and skull type may not be exactly the same but similar. Taking random pictures from google of modern people from these areas is anecdotal and who knows the actual background of these people? We assume they are all some sort of pure breds? [QUOTE]Originally posted by MindoverMatter718: also exhibit these extreme tropical adaptations, and some of the darkest skin in Africa and in fact genetically are African. So what's your take? Let's hope you use logic to confirm the truth. Let's just say for example you think these so called "Caucasoid" features in the indigenous African populations I mentioned came from wandering "Caucasoids",[/QUOTE]I don't know if groups of people doing trade or migrating is akin to some "wandering" guy who lost his way. But O.K. "wandering" And mid way you have the Hyksos. At least ten more dynasties after that. Do we need to go on? [QUOTE]Originally posted by MindoverMatter718: then how come these wandering "Caucasoids" didn't pass on the skin genes for lighter pigmentation as is obvious amongst more northern coastal Africans where the SLC24A5 derived allele is significantly present (60-100%) in geographically proximate populations in north Africa, and how come the limb proportions of these indigenous Africans were not affected in any way instead are still considered to be extremely tropically adapted, while those coastal north Africans are intermediate between Europeans and S.S.A's?[/QUOTE]What do you mean they didn't pass on the lighter pigmentation. Right off the bat we can see a darker Nubian type portrayed as different and with broader features than many of the relatively lighter reddish skin Egyptians who look similar in skin tone to many mid toned Arabs. You also see images on the walls of even lighter skinned, sometimes a yellowish tint especially in Royal women. Then you have some darker shades and broader features although not as much so as the Kushites who had their own civilization. Still other Egyptian statues have more Asian looking features. It's all over the "racial" map. The variety in the physical appearance of the ancient Egyptians is simply explained. It was a cosmopolitan civilization with jungle fever coming in from all sides. A bunch of mulattoes and mixed types. see Barack Obama for details [/QB][/QUOTE]
