[QUOTE]Originally posted by Orionix: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by supercar: [b] You keep shooting yourself in the foot. In general the Egyptian population is heterogeneous, but he original Egyptians, particularly those who reside in Upper Egypt are black Africans, whether or not you can swallow the truth. There is no such thing as a pure race, so you are just making a mole hill out of nothing, by constantly referring to the unheard of "intermediate" race. We all acknowledge that Africans have various cultures and phenotypes, except you. You are the one, who is in the dark about this. This is why you limit certain phenotypes to certain people. Advice: there is no such thing as "Ethiopian" phenotype. [/b][/QUOTE] Either way the people of Upper Egypt share more in common with Lower Egyptians than they do with southern Sudanesne or other Zairen Bantu groups. "...the present study on the Y-chromosome haplotype shows that there are northern and southern Y-haplotypes in Egypt. The main Y-haplotype V is a northern haplotype, with a significantly different frequency in the north compared to the south of the country: frequencies of haplotype V are 51.9% in the Delta (location A), 24.2% in Upper Egypt (location B), and 17.4% in Lower Nubia (location C). On the other hand, haplotype IV is a typical southern haplotype, being almost absent in A (1.2%), and preponderant in B (27.3%) and C (39.1%). Haplotype XI also shows a preponderance in the south (in C, 30.4%; B, 28.8%) compared to the north (11.7% in A) of the country. It is interesting to relate this peculiar north/south differentiation, a pattern of genetic variation deriving from the two uniparentally inherited genetic systems (mtDNA and Y chromosome), to specific historic events. Since the beginning of Egyptian history (3200-3100 B.C.), the legendary king Menes united Upper and Lower Egypt. Migration from north to south may coincide with the Pharaonic colonization of Nubia, which occurred initially during the Middle Kingdom (12th Dynasty, 1991-1785 B.C.), and more permanently during the New Kingdom, from the reign of Thotmosis III (1490-1437 B.C.). The main migration from south to north may coincide with the 25th Dynasty (730-655 B.C.), when kings from Napata (in Nubia) conquered Egypt." (Lucotte et al., Am J Phys Anthro, 2003) ..The majority of these people were mulattos or brown Africans, not black Africans though... [/QB][/QUOTE]
