[QUOTE]Originally posted by Evergreen: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by astenb: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by akoben: [qb] ^ Ok that's enough choking of the thread with your face saving bullshit. Back to the topic. I think Hawass types will be very proud of Keita's more cautions and ambiguous statements, like the one Boofer identified. Isnt that what they have been saying all along, that the Arab republic of Egypt today is no different from ancient Egypt? And Keita didn't even mention the Ta seti find when discussing the source of Egyptian civilisation. He simply left it vague and misleading again "the archaeological evidence shows that they came from [b]southern Egypt.[/b]" Why couldn't he have said [b]Nubia[/b] which is more accurate or correct. It shows that he is still willing to pander to the establishment. Whether this is a tactic or not it doesn't help truth or accuracy. Those already misinformed about Egypt will come away vindicated. [/qb][/QUOTE]Thank you, he saved face. Like I said it was pretty SOFT. Of course you guys know EXACTLY what Keita is talking about, but to the lay persons I think North Africa, Middle East, and Europe stand out compared to everything else in the article that SHOULD have been stressed: Ethiopia, Sudan, ANCIENT Sahara. Also he could have just placed the Nail in the coffin and spoke about Genetics. -Who are their genetic Ancestors? -Who are their modern genetic brethren? -When have the major genetic changes happened since downfall. We all know what would have happened if he DID speak about the above: He wouldnt be on the Nat Geo Site. [/qb][/QUOTE]Evergreen Writes: Much of the phenetic diversity now found in Africa, SW Asia and Europe derived during and post the Last Glacial Maximum. In fact, the post-LGM period is known as the 'Holocene' which literally means the recent epoch. The Sahara was depopulated during the LGM and human occupation in NE Africa was generally restricted to the area now known as "Nubia" (i.e., southern Egypt and northern Sudan). **ALL** of the crania from LGM era NE Africa have affinities with modern West Africans. We see consistency in the early holocene out-flow around the circum-Mediterranean basin with cranial affinities in early neolithic Anatolia, Greeece and the mesolithic Levant. [/QB][/QUOTE]
