[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by horn-afrik: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by KING: [qb] If as the reference says that Arabs that looked like Africans were the dominate type in Arabia up until the 15th century, Then the question that needs to be asked is what happened? Are we to believe that there was a ethnic cleansing of these people? Does Hatred of Dark skin factor into this? Peace [/qb][/QUOTE]this is where the recessive genes comes in, they were "dark skin caucasians" (cant think of better term atm) to begin with and inter marrying with turks and other light skinned arabised asians didnt help preserving their dark skin. if you ever been to Saudi Arabia and yemen you'd know that they are darker and more negriod than say Iraqi or Palestine. here some visuals to help you understand better, first one somali/russian, second one somali/philippino. after just one genaration almost no african traits left.

But I get your point. Considering that the offspring of Horn Africans and Eurasians tend to look more like the Eurasian parent, it's not surprising too see how admixture could affect indigenous Arabians who looked not much different. Although this is just part of it. I believe another reason is that the Arab media itself tends not to show the darker skinned or black type people, considering that such folk are alot more common than many people believe from what I've read and the pictures I've seen of the populace from Doug and Dana. Like Indian media, the focus is usually on the 'fair-and-lovely' types if you know what I mean. There is already an ongoing discussion on what the 'true' Arabs look like [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=15;t=002270]here[/URL]. By the way, is the woman in the bottom pic the half-Filipina/half-Somali model Amira Ahmed? :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
