[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tukuler: [QB] Excerpts from a moldie oldie post above [QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QUOTE]Originally posted by HERU: [QUOTE] Originally posted by alTakruri: [b] Dr. Fletcher's coinages detract from the standard anthropological and forensic terminology for a fanciful biased determination of hair type related to stereotypical ideas of the misnomered classifications Caucasian and Negro. As such it should be avoided. [/b][/QUOTE]I see what you're saying. Have any idea what sort of hairstyles the ancient Egyptians used? [/QUOTE]You can look in the Kmt Art threads for some examples. Anthropologist [b]Alfred Haddon[/b] used [i]ulotrichous[/i] for wooly hair. But in Greek [i]oulotriches[/i] can mean either [our] curly or wooly haired in contrast to [i]ithutriches[/i] or [i]euthutriches[/i]. [b]Herodotus[/b] uses these opposite types to distinguish western from eastern Aethiopians. His eastern Aethiopians are [i]ithutriches[/i] -- straight haired, and western Aethiopians have the [i]oulotaton trichôma[/i] -- wooliest hair. [b] HERODOTUS 7.70.1 (on blacks in the Persian army) [/b] [i] tôn men dê huper Aiguptou Aithiopôn kai Arabiôn êrche Arsamês, [/i] The Ethiopians above Egypt and the Arabians had Arsames for commander, [i] hoi de apo hêliou anatoleôn Aithiopes* dixoi gar dê estrateuonto prosetetachato toisi Indoisi, [/i] while the Ethiopians of the east1 (for there were two kinds of them in the army) served with the Indians; [i] diallassontes eidos* men ouden toisi heteroisi, [/i] they were not different in appearance from the others, [i] phônên de kai trichôma* mounon: [/i] only in speech and hair: [i] hoi men gar apo hêliou Aithiopes ithutriches* eisi, [/i] the Ethiopians from the east are straight-haired, [i] hoi d' ek tês Libuês oulotaton trichôma echousi pantôn anthrôpôn. [/i] but the ones from Libya have the woolliest hair of all men. [This message has been edited by alTakruri (edited 22 December 2004).] [/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
