[QUOTE]Originally posted by legeonas: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Mystery Solver: Immaterial. You didn't answer a direct/concise question asked, which says that you are incapable of answering it.[/QUOTE]Nice try. Your question was a scapegoat. As you are defending a claim based on Grimaldi, you shof first that it is closer to modern Africans than Cromagnon is to modern Europeans. Nice scapegoat though. [QUOTE]You evaded the question asked again. You proclaimed to have read the link to a publication from the William himself, and yet failed to act on the request made of you. Thus you have no case, until you address this. Do you have to have Yurco read the link in question [i]for you[/i], before you actually have the backbone to answer a simple question?[/QUOTE]Nice try. Yurco is dead. And his response post date Williams rebuttal. Show that Williams addressed what Yurco stated. [QUOTE]You've acknowledge yourself that the Nagada elites in question are deemed to be distinct from other specimens from "ordinary" local burials dating to that period. Again, you have no case; "denial" is not a form of case, addressing the evidence [i]objectively[/i] to the contrary, however, [i]is[/i]. [/QUOTE]Again, nice scapegoat. Feel free to show how that study makes any claim of relationship other than skeletal phenotype similarity. [QUOTE]He hasn't refuted the findings. Having said that, questioning in itself in of no relevance; the real question is whether his question has any material value, which in this case, you haven't yet demonstrated that he did.[/QUOTE]Lack of a quantitative sampling that is statistically representative of the population claimed. [QUOTE]Immaterial. Samples were enough, since they all correspond to the [i]same findings[/i]: "Tropical body plan" time and again...just as other researchers noted in the study had observed prior to Zakrzewski.[/QUOTE]Again, show that the samplings were sufficient. Neither you or I saw the sampling group. But obviously one peer at least called her on it. [QUOTE]But we have Diop's studies, and the specifics involved. You don't for your source, and so, your post is pointless - it was posted just for the sake of arguing without material value.[/QUOTE]Show me Diop's study on melanin in mummies. Not his subsequent summary. I'll await your evidence. [QUOTE]It is immaterial. Show me genetically, and structurally/gramatically and etmologically, how Meroitic is developed from European or Indian scripts, as opposed to pre-existing indigenous Nile Valley ones.[/QUOTE]Strawman, no one said the language was influenced. They said the alphabet was. Much like syllabaries in Africa and Native America sprung when exposed to European or other syllabaries. [QUOTE]Hence, it was a pointless post, because you had no clue about what you were posting.[/QUOTE]Wrong, relevant, but no more important to me as the other quote is to you. As both are lacking substantiation. [QUOTE]It isn't. Meroitic is easily shown to be a derivative of Demotic, which it structurally also resembles, albeit with unique Meroitic characteristics.[/QUOTE]Then you can show that the alphabetic system exists in Demotic. [QUOTE]legeonas: [QUOTE]What technology did Europe have at the height of Malian complex's wealth? However knowledge in Mali is well attested to in its wealth and the body of evidential material of literature, and other associated relics saved from that period. What was "London's" technology at the height of the Malian wealth?[/QUOTE] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_technology I noticed you didn't address it. [QUOTE] [QUOTE][quote]I ask again, what "primary texts", not "Ecowas" [Ecowas doesn't date to that period, nor is it a "primary text"], dating back to the period coinciding with the height of Malian complex, tells us about the population numbers of that complex? [/QUOTE]First answer your own question. What primary sources do you have? Encarta is the one that states that it was 40,000 in the 16th century.[/QUOTE]I can't, because it is responding to your baseless charges. [/QUOTE]Which is responding to the baseless claims without documentation you are defending. [/QB][/QUOTE]
