[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sundiata: [QB] [QUOTE]And those Giza Egyptians I measured tell me they are > more European than Middle Eastern. One was clearly a German Neolithic > specimen, and the rest were either French or northern Italian. But I have > other Egyptians that are clearly North African.[/QUOTE]^1. Brief clarification which I'm 99% percent sure my assumption is right on, does this comment refer to Brace' [b]Late Dynastic[/b] Lower Egyptian sample from Giza that he also reviewed in 93? 2. Isn't it extremely misleading to seclude individuals for comparison and assign them to predefined groups such as "Northern Italian", "French" or "German Neolithic"? Is he suggesting that Neolithic Germans, Northern Italians, and French people all somehow found their way into lower Egypt? This study is a good example of that question.. http://www.homestead.com/wysinger/forensic.pdf 3. Also, when he says "North African" does he mean North/West or North/East? [QUOTE]I accept the view of Abdel-Latif Aboul-Elam the director of the Egyptian > Embassy's cultural office in 1989 when he declared that Egyptians are > neither black nor white but Egyptian. And if they did indeed migrate > there, they did not come from very far away. Morphologically they tie in > with the people from North Africa and the Arabian peninsula who have > effectively been there since the Pleistocene.[/QUOTE]^I'd have to presume that his language is somewhat deceptive or misleading here.. Obviously he's referring to most Modern Egyptians since I've never read anything in his studies that alluded to any apparent close relationships between the AEs and peoples of the Arabian Peninsula. And again, since when was North Africa a single entity, by North Africa does he mean North East/Nile Valley, or Coastal/Arab North Africa? [/QB][/QUOTE]
