[QUOTE]Originally posted by Morpheus: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: I don't recall Keita saying that.[/QUOTE]This is the quote I think he was talking about: http://wysinger.homestead.com/keita_1990_northern_africa_1_.pdf [i]Historical sources and archaeological data predict significant population variability in mid-Holocene northern Africa. Multivariate analyses of crania demonstrate wide variation but also suggest an indigenous craniometric pattern common to both late dynastic northern Egypt and the coastal Maghreb region. [b]Both tropical African and European metric phenotypes, as well intermediate patterns, are found in mid-Holocene Maghreb sites.[/b] Early southern predynastic Egyptian crania show tropical African affinities, displaying craniometric trends that differ notably from the coastal northern African pattern. The various craniofacial patterns discernible in northern Africa are attributable to the agents of microevolution and migration.[/i] [...] [i]Furthermore, the series from the coastal Maghreb and northern (Lower) Egypt are more similar to one another than they are to any other series by centroid values and unknown analyses.[/i] [QUOTE]I'm not sure why Keita would say this, after noting [i]change[/i] in cranial patterns over time. I've heard him allude, but [i]not directly[/i], to coastal northwestern Africans in his Cambridge video stream, with respect to their skin tone developments, but not the AE. What video did you have in mind?[/QUOTE]This video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZssWb4MmGM [QUOTE]It may be a no-brainer but some people simply lack the thinking capacity to understand this: Modern Egyptian population structure is not a carbon copy of those characterizing pre-dynastic or the lead up to state formation. Ponder this basic question: if analysts have observed [i]change[/i] in cranio-metric patterns between older dynasty series and elements of later ones, can it be logical to then say that modern Egypt is a carbon copy of AE, and can thus be used as a [i]substitution[/i] for predynastic and dynastic Nile Valley cranial examination? [/QUOTE]Which studies have established a craniometric change in the Ancient Egyptians and during which periods? Are you referring to Zakrzewski (2007)? [/QB][/QUOTE]
