[QUOTE]Originally posted by Charlie Bass: [QB] Note how the author tries to deny and spin around the fact that African traits were found in Neolithic Greek crania: "The female of forty-plus years of age from Grave 2 was examined by J. L. Angel who noted what he interpreted as (( a number of ' negroid ' (not full negro)traits in the face." lo The skull is fairly complete, but not enough so for discriminant function analysis." There is marked maxillary prognathism and the orbits may be described as rectangular, traits frequently used in forensic diagnosis of Negro crania. Despite the presence of these traits, we must recall that we are quite ignorant of the range of variation in cranial morphology among the Late Roman Corinthians. Consequently, attempts to identify the race of a single skull (one of only three preserved from the Lerna Hollow collection) are on unsure grounds. The features of this skull may, after all, be within the range of variation for the (presumably) Caucasoid population of Corinth at this time.'' The Skeletons of Lerna Hollow Al B. Wesolowsky Hesperia, Vol. 42, No. 3. (Jul. - Sep., 1973), pp. 340-351. Sounds like denial to me. The presence of E3b and so-called "Negroid" traits found in Macedonian Neolithic crania confirm that these traits came from a migration from Africa, end of story and games. [/QB][/QUOTE]
