"No one disputes that Egypt is in Africa, or that its civilization had elements in common with sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in religion. However, the claim that all Egyptians, or even all the pharaohs, were black, is not valid. Most scholars believe that Egyptians in antiquity looked pretty much as they look today, with a gradation of darker shades toward the Sudan. Evidence for the racial composition
of Egypt comes from a variety of sources. Berry et al. (1967)*, using a “measure of divergence” based on 30 nonmetrical skeletal variants, found that there were significant differences between negroid populations (Ashanti, Sudan), Mediterranean populations (Palestine), and all ancient Egyptian samples. They also found a remarkable degree of constancy in the population of Egypt over a period of 5,000 years. Recent multivariate analysis of crania (Keita, 1990) showed a pattern common to both northern Late Dynastic Egypt and the Maghreb (North Africa west of Egypt) in which both tropical African and European phenotypes, as well as intermediate
patterns, were present. (*Berry AC, Berry FLJ, and Ucko PJ (1967) "Genetical change in ancient Egypt". Man. 2. pp. 551-568)"

Though Berry and Berry (1967) provided a well-timed study pertaining to the analysis of “minor morphological variations in the human skull”, they vastly underrepresented what had been a recent deluge of publications focusing on these “rare”, “occasionally found”, and“neglected anthropological markers” (Caroline-Berry 1967). Berry and Berry 1967 focused their analysis on compiling a definitive list of non-metric traits. Non-metric traits are “morphologicalvariations of anatomy, typically of a feature, or an anatomical landmark” (Saunders 2008:533). Non-metric traits are also referred to as discontinuous, or discrete traits (Corruccini 1974;DeStefano 1984; Prowse 1996). Adding or using the terms discontinuous or discrete to describea trait signals a more genetically-based perspective (Buikstra 1990; Caroline-Berry 1967; Mays1998). A discontinuous trait will generally have few possible phenotypic expressions (Ossenberg1969; Rubini 1997)

So much has been posted, destroying this trash shyt for brain individual. It's beyond incredible. Yet, dorky comes again with some outdated and debunked theory.
