Although he mentioned that he managed to prove that mummies' melanine was that of Black African and not leucoderm, he emphasize the fact that craniology is less reliable than osteology in determining the origin of old skeleton, and that Lepsus demonstrated that a perfect AE was a African Negro based on osteology. Which is similar to the elongated body that prove that AE were super Negro, meaning very adapted tropically. But when he deviate is when he spent most of the piece talking about relationship between Wollof grammar and AE language...he spends a lot of time explaining the relationship between Niger Congo languages(Fulani, Wolof) and the Afro-Asiatic language spoken in AE. But I don't think he is aware of the existence of the Afro-Asiatic languages...He has a good understanding of the European psyche prior to the colonization, indeed he says that socio-anthropoligist in the 19th century divided European along a superior race (blond and blue eyed dolicocephalic European) and bracicephalic Alpine race that was considered as servant by the aristocracy...Basically they applied the same thing when they conquered the world and forgot about the division created by the aristocrats within Europe...He realized early that Europeans projected their divisions in the countries they colonized, trying to create new races in Africa that didn't exist in order to feel related to great civilization...

OK Thanks I was about to translate but you did it all.
He also menttioned that eventhough the AE have been mixed since 3000 yrs when herodote came to egypt they were still black.

Unfortunetly I'm out of time but I will try to post a translation phrase by phrase soon.

Thank you Africa. The point about osteology or bone structure is a very good one. The tropical African bone structure of the AE is testiment to both their indigenousness to Africa and their relatedness to other African peoples.
