[QUOTE]Originally posted by Anthro Thinker: [QB] [QUOTE] LOL. What is this mouth fart supposed to refute, what is it a response to, and what is your point? [/QUOTE]That paper was talking about sub saharan affinities in the Byzantine population and spoke of Brace 2005 and the PN2 clade ...right? Sure, so modern Austrians have this "sub sahran affinity" as well (they are E-M78 carriers at about 10%). It does not just stop at Egypt, or in the remains of those Byzantine populations, etc. [QUOTE] I already told you where Brace went wrong, ie, an over-emphasis on nasal morphology. You know, when someone tells you something, you can take it into consideration, or ignore it, but don't think citing another one of his studies - that is equally lacking in proper discriminatory power (same variable set) - is going to bypass the aforementioned critique. [/QUOTE]I don't think you're in any position to tell a physical anthropologists who's right or wrong. [QUOTE] Of course you're going to get relatively large distances beteen hyper platyrine Africans and elongated Africans, when half of the variables are about nasal morphology. Well duhhh. Brace knows exactly what he is doing; he keeps reusing the same ol X-group Nubian and obscure Nubian bronze age samples (never predynastic Sudanese from immediately below the cataract), he never uses Badarians as representatives for pred. Egyptians etc etc. These seemingly ''innocent'' choices all affect his results, and he knows this, since he has been critiqued on these points (and others) by his colleagues.[/QUOTE]He used the Naqada, right? I'm pretty sure the Naqada and Badari are fairly similar...they are both pre-dynastic Southern Egyptians. What do you care so much about the Sudanese? You mean the "Nubians" from Kerma..we can see where they place non metrically from the earlier study anyways. [QUOTE] What is your point with that piece?[/QUOTE]Exactly what it said, the closest populations to the early Upper Egyptian Naqada, late Lower Egyptian Giza, and early "Kerma" samples were West Eurasians...even Somalis came out further. [QUOTE] What exactly is shady about Keita's work? [/QUOTE]I was speaking of only of his one piece which is featured here in Zaharan's little "mad Afrocentric scientist" graphs called "EARLY NILE VALLEY FARMERS FROM EL-BADARI" which is in the "Journal of Black Studies" where he took a few skulls from the Howells data base which were originally based on 57 variables...and then he reduced those variables down to 10-15 and claimed the Badari clustered with Bushmen and Zulus before of Northern Europeans.
