[QUOTE]Originally posted by osirion: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: [qb] To correct my earlier statement, I should say rather: "The oldest human remains [b]with fully "modern"[/b] [i]morphology[/i] [aside from [i]non[/i]-morphological quantitative features like robusticity] in that general area date to at most, the EpiPaleolithic." The better preserved of the Aterian specimens, while considered "modern", are claimed to host a combination of "plesiomorphic" and "modern" [i]morphological[/i] traits. [/qb][/QUOTE]Data obtained during an ongoing dental investigation of African populations address two long-standing, hotly debated questions. First, was there genetic continuity between Late Pleistocene Iberomaurusians and later northwest Africans (e.g., Capsians, Berbers, Guanche)? Second, were skeletally-robust Iberomaurusians and northeast African Nubians variants of the same population? Iberomaurusians from Taforalt in Morocco and Afalou-Bou-Rhummel in Algeria, Nubians from Jebel Sahaba in Sudan, post-Pleistocene Capsians from Algeria and Tunisia, and a series of other samples were statistically compared using 29 discrete dental traits to help estimate diachronic local and regional affinities. Results revealed: (1) a relationship between the Iberomaurusians, particularly those from Taforalt, and later Maghreb and other North African samples, and (2) a divergence among contemporaneous Iberomaurusians and Nubian samples. Thus, some measure of long-term population continuity in the Maghreb and surrounding region is supported, whereas greater North African population heterogenity during the Late Pleistocene is implied. ---------------------- Essentially there was a population of Ibero Maurusians that were not related to Cushitic people of the Nile. We know that the Capsian culture is Cushitic in origin. What we have is a mixture of populations as a result on Cushitic migration into NW Africa resulting in heterogenity. Ibero-Maurusian are likely European people that took refuge in NW Africa. They mixed with Cushitic people. It is more about cultural anthropology than skeletal analysis. Ibero-Maurusian culture is connect to Europe where as the Capsian culture is connected to Kenya. [/QB][/QUOTE]
