A careful look at the image below reveals that the bushy hair is so by artifice since immediately below the crown one can see the the natural wavy nature of the hair. This is true of nearly all the Persian art (Elamites excluded for one). One need examine many art pieces to notice these characteristics of their hair.
At one time I subscribed t the belief that nappy hair was depicted. Then I saw many and larger art pieces where I noticed the hair is wavy at the root and is only bushy at the ends. This led me to believe the bushiness was due to the knack of hairdressers.
The Persian 'du is elaborate in design. Their natural hair was loosely wavy, as you can see at the edge of the king's crown, then the ends were tightly curled. All in all it produces the effect of wooly hair like the curly Afro some Ladinos, Iranians, and Arabs used to wear back in the 1970's. You know, the "Jewfro"
Back in the 70's many wavy haired folk sported Afros. It wasn't because they were black or had nappy hair. It was because they admired the long nappy hair many blacks were wearing then.

Oh, we're pretty sure of the Lachish art. Art becomes doubtful only where blx r nvolved. Yet somehow all other art reflects correctly. Scattered modern ndividuals here and there mean nothing. All Judaean men of Lachish have wooly hair. There is no modern Israeli city of all woolly haired men.

The earliest `Am Yisra'el spoke an African language and became a people on the African tectonic plate and, of course were not NW Euros nor continental Afrs. Judea skin colour was within African brown complexions as noted by contemporaneous classical authors.

`Am Yisra'el hair texture and skin colour is what it is.

It's time for you to start all over again, reading basic history. Especially when it comes to the ancient Greeks and Ethiopians.
quote: Herodotus51 tells us that he made inquiries respecting Heracles: the Egyptian he found to be decidedly older than the Greek one; but the Egyptians referred him to Phoenicia as the original source of the traditions. The Egyptian Heracles, who is mentioned by many other writers besides Herodotus and Diodorus, is said to have been called by his Egyptian name Som or Dsom, or, according to others, Chon,52 and, according to Pausanias,53 Maceris. According to Diodorus,54 Som was a son of Amon (Zeus); but Cicero calls him a son of Nilus, while, according to Ptolemaeus Hephaestion, Heracles himself was originally called Nilus. This Egyptian Heracles was placed by the Egyptians in the second of the series of the evolutions of their gods.55
Here I discuss the Africans present in Greek Mythology and their Legacy. Africans seemed to have a tremendous impact on the minds of Greek writers and historians.

Ironically the alleged "Hebrew exodus" from Egypt was when Egypt was under Greco-Roman control. As the story is told.
quote: Egyptian Tomb in Israel
The discovery of an Egyptian-style tomb at Tel Halif in the Negev Desert suggests an Egyptian colonial presence in southern Israel ca. 3000 B.C. Most burials in the region are in caves or shaft tombs attributed to the Canaanites, but this one, built during the Early Bronze 1B period (3300-3000 B.C.), is typical of contemporary tombs in Egypt, according to excavators Thomas Levy of the University of California, San Diego, and David Alon of the Joe Alon Regional Research Center in Israel. A 30-foot-long passageway descends to the burial chamber, which is about 26 feet long, 16 feet wide, and nine and one-half feet high. Within the dome-shaped chamber is a plastered stone platform on which the skeleton of a woman was found. About 25 years old when she died, she was found in a fetal position facing east, characteristic of Egyptian burials.
That an Egyptian was buried at Tel Halif "gives us evidence of a full-blown Egyptian colony in Israel right after the crystallization of the first Egyptian state," says Levy. "Egyptians were known to have very profound and elaborate belief systems about the afterlife and what was required to get there. One of these requirements was to die and be properly entombed on Egyptian soil. I think it's very likely that this part of southern Israel was considered part of greater Egypt during this period."
Egyptian ceramics, seal impressions, and bread molds found at Tel Halif support an Egyptian occupation. Among these artifacts is a potsherd engraved with the serekh, or sign, of King Narmer, who is believed to have united Upper and Lower Egypt between 3050 and 3000 B.C.

This Persian example has long natural low wavy hair.
This 'Elamite' example has naturally woolly hair. Upper hair appears wavy from filet pull pressure. Lower hair unconstrained by filet is curly 'fro hair. I've seen this hair type in a Belarus native. It was stiffer than similar hair on a German.
Note the detail difference.
Another example of naturally wavy hair curled at the ends by artifice, same as the 1st image except: "See ma, no crown!"

quote: A parsimonious explanation for these observations is that they reflect a history in which many of the Jewish groups descend from a common ancestral population which was itself admixed with Africans, prior to the beginning of the Jewish diaspora that occurred in 8th to 6th century BC [41]. The dates that emerge from our ROLLOFF analysis in the non-Mizrahi Jews could also reflect events in the Greek and Roman periods, when there were large communities of Jews in North Africa, particularly Alexandria [34], [42].

quote:Originally posted by the lioness,: ^^ Ish Gebor please add article title and the part of the text before "A parsimonious explanation for these observations"
because it's what observations? The thought is incomplete
I don't see the problem.
quote: We analyze genome-wide polymorphism data from about 40 West Eurasian groups to show that almost all Southern Europeans have inherited 1%–3% African ancestry with an average mixture date of around 55 generations ago, consistent with North African gene flow at the end of the Roman Empire and subsequent Arab migrations. Levantine groups harbor 4%–15% African ancestry with an average mixture date of about 32 generations ago, consistent with close political, economic, and cultural links with Egypt in the late middle ages. We also detect 3%–5% sub-Saharan African ancestry in all eight of the diverse Jewish populations that we analyzed. For the Jewish admixture, we obtain an average estimated date of about 72 generations. This may reflect descent of these groups from a common ancestral population that already had some African ancestry prior to the Jewish Diasporas.
Author Summary
Southern Europeans and Middle Eastern populations are known to have inherited a small percentage of their genetic material from recent sub-Saharan African migrations, but there has been no estimate of the exact proportion of this gene flow, or of its date. Here, we apply genomic methods to show that the proportion of African ancestry in many Southern European groups is 1%–3%, in Middle Eastern groups is 4%–15%, and in Jewish groups is 3%–5%. To estimate the dates when the mixture occurred, we develop a novel method that estimates the size of chromosomal segments of distinct ancestry in individuals of mixed ancestry. We verify using computer simulations that the method produces useful estimates of population mixture dates up to 300 generations in the past. By applying the method to West Eurasians, we show that the dates in Southern Europeans are consistent with events during the Roman Empire and subsequent Arab migrations. The dates in the Jewish groups are older, consistent with events in classical or biblical times that may have occurred in the shared history of Jewish populations.

Obviously wavy-straight flop hair from root to 7 or 8+ inches necessitates a short cut will be leaving wavy-straight hair. Assyria vs Judah noses are nothing alike except they're noses. Nostril, tip, slope, bridge of left are noticably dissimilar to center and right.
Look at the beard of the Assyrian at left That's how his hair would look if short
The wavy portion of the hair is probably combed out with oils otherwise his beard would be like that

Beard is a nice try distraction away from the hair which all can see, no speculation.
No escaping the natural fact of the head hair texture from the root flopping on down

1) if "woolly" means afro textured hair that cannot be determined by the above art
2) no real person has hair that is straight and then curled on the bottom which means part of the hair depicted is not in it's natural condition. The upper beard hair of the Assyrian shows the natural condition as well as the Assyrian boy. If you think otherwise show a photo of a person that has wavy straight hair but is curled on the bottom in this drastically different way
In Egyptian art being bearded is most similar to other Asiatics not Nehesy. What modern people most resemble these Lachishites? I'm not sure

Yoruba Men... yes.. Yoruba men.. they even wear the Jehu cap
310 Muhammad Bello, in ARNETT 1922:
a) [p.13]
West of Katsina and Gobir there are seven separate countries called “Banza Bakwai”.
311 These are Zamfara and Kebbi, Yauri, Nufi [Nupe], Yoruba,
312 Borgu and Gurma.
Each of these has a Sarki [i.e. king] who is equal to the others ,
b) [p.16] The country of Yoruba is extensive and has streams and forests and rocks and hills. There are many curious and beautiful things in it. The ships of the Christians come there.
313 The people of Yoruba are descended from the Kanaana [= Canaanites] and the kindred of Nimrud.
314 Now the reason of their having settled in the west according to what we are told is that Yaarubu son of Kahtan drove them out of Irak to westwards
315 and they travelled between Masar [Misr, i.e. Egypt] and Habash [= Ethiopia] until they reached Yoruba. It happened that they left a portion of their people in every country they passed. It is said that the Sudanese who live up on the hills [i.e. the Nigerian Plateau] are all their kindred; so also the people of Yauri are their kindred. The people of Yoruba resemble those of Nufi in appearance.
316. In the land of Yoruba are found the birds green in colour which are called ‘Babaga’ in Arabic and which we call ‘Aku’. It is a bird which talks and is beautiful.
317. Now in this country of Yoruba there are many wonderful things. Mallam Mohamman Masani has related them in his book Nafhat’ul Ambariya. He has also written further about this country in his book Azharu Ruba about Yoruba.
318. The people of Yoruba catch slaves from our land and sell them to the Christians so we are told. I mention this to stop people selling Moslem slaves to them, because of those who buy them. Harm will result from this.

Each reply is funnier and more illogical than the last.
Ha ha ha thinking art must be photographic to depict reality!
Right, the crosshatches in Assyrian art for both Lachish and Nile Kushi mean "negro's" hair must be fought.
Nevermind Nile Kushi have woolly hair, right.
So we cannot tell what hair texture any people have when looking at pre Renaisance Euro art.
What kind of ethnocentric illogic is at work just speculating away.
<< Yeah I know gotta keep iteratng post count no matter what >>
My question is does anyone else doubt real hair textures are etched in the Assyrian reliefs? If Assyrian viewers didn't recognize various texture differences of various peoples why did the artist bother sculpting all those many different textures and styles?

[/QB][/QUOTE]
This is not an easy subject.. and does not lend itself to forum/thread explanations.. I too was a doubter... but geneticists focus on Yoruba lend me to "studying" Yoruba history, people and customs as much as I could on the internet..
The first question one must answer when pursuing this subject.. is Who are the Yoruba? Many people now counted among the Yoruba are not the original OYO Yoruba but grafted on through history, conquest, slavery etc..
Fulani Bello had no skin in the game, he was not an google professor Afrocentric.. Nor did he have access to the Lacish reliefs...
So we have to take into account his version of events.
now to the popular "history" you also have this account - Wikipedia
Oduduwa was a Yoruba divine king. According to tradition he was the holder of the title of the Ooni of Ile-Ife, the Yoruba holy city. He was not only the first ruler of a unified Ife,[1][2] but also the progenitor of various independent royal dynasties in Yorubaland and ancestor of their numerous crowned kings.[3].[4] His name, phonetically written by Yoruba language-speakers as Odùduwà and sometimes contracted as Ooduwa, Odudua or Oòdua is today venerated as "the hero, the warrior, the leader and father of the Yoruba race".[5] For a long time as propagated by early writers of Yoruba history, like the Bayajidda legend of the Hausa people, he was said to be an Eastern prince whose people were driven out of their kingdom in Mecca in Arabia [6] and were forced to migrate in a long march to present day south western Nigeria, though this belief is now thought to reflect later Islamic influences.[7] Through a war lasting many years, Oduduwa was able to defeat the forces of the 13 indigenous communities of Ife led by Obatala and formed these communities into a single Ife unit.
Back to the Lacish reliefs...
Egypt was ruling Israel at the time of the founding of Israel. Mercenaries were imported to the land of Israel by the Egyptians.. there is no doubt that Nubians/Upper Egyptians were among those mercenaries.
Isaiah 20:4 New International Version (NIV) 4 so the king of Assyria will lead away stripped and barefoot the Egyptian captives and Cushite/Ethiopian exiles, young and old, with buttocks bared—to Egypt’s shame.
Maybe Oduduwa was a Yemeni... ?
I don't know... I am still studying the subject...
But the coincidences are interesting..
By the way.. the Bible never mentions anything about Soqotrians....

^^ But you seem to have sour grapes over the checkmate here. The Assyrian boy's hair shows the natural condition of Assyrian hair. The straight portion in the top has been artificially combed out or crimped with oils
that part is combed out otherwise the Assyrian boy's hair would look like that

From what I read several groups moved into the region and replaced each other constantly.
