[QUOTE]Originally posted by Kalonji: [QB] From the Strouhal study recently uploaded by Calabooz: [QUOTE]In some of the Badarian crania hair was preserved, thanks to good conditions in the desert sand. In the first series, according to the description of the excavators, they were curly in 6 cases, wavy in 33 cases and straight in io cases. They were black in I6 samples, dark brown in II, brown in I2, light brown in i and grey in I I cases.25 Thanks to the courtesy of Dr Lawrence and Dr Garlick from the Duckworth Laboratory in Cambridge, I was able to take samples of seven of the racially mixed Badarian individuals which were macroscopically curly (spirals of Io-20 mm in diameter) or wavy (25-35 mm). They were studied microscopically by S. Tittelbachova' from the Institute of Anthropology of the Charles University, who found in five out of seven samples a [b]change in the thickness of the hair in the course of its length, sometimes with a simultaneous narrowing of the hair[/b] pith. [b]The outline of the crosssections of the hairs was flattened, with indices ranging from 35 to 65.[/b] These peculiarities also show the Negroid influence among the Badarians.[/QUOTE]^Despite all of his embarassing lingo, and odd coloration, he found that the hair morphology showed traits commonly found in a subset of African hair, namely, constrictions along the shaft and flattened shapes.
