Zakrzewski* American Journal of Physical Anthropology Volume 121, Issue 3, pages 219–229, July 2003 Stature and the pattern of body proportions were investigated in a series of six time-successive Egyptian populations in order to investigate the biological effects on human growth of the development and intensification of agriculture, and the formation of state-level social organization. Univariate analyses of variance were performed to assess differences between the sexes and among various time periods. Significant differences were found both in stature and in raw long bone length measurements between the early semipastoral population and the later intensive agricultural population. The size differences were greater in males than in females. This disparity is suggested to be due to greater male response to poor nutrition in the earlier populations, and with the increasing development of social hierarchy, males were being provisioned preferentially over females. [b]Little change in body shape was found through time, suggesting that all body segments were varying in size in response to environmental and social conditions. The change found in body plan is suggested to be the result of the later groups having a more tropical (Nilotic) form than the preceding populations.[/b] Am J Phys Anthropol, 2003. Population continuity or population change: Formation of the ancient Egyptian state Sonia R. Zakrzewski* American Journal of Physical Anthropology Volume 132, Issue 4, pages 501–509, April 2007 The origins of the ancient Egyptian state and its formation have received much attention through analysis of mortuary contexts, skeletal material, and trade. Genetic diversity was analyzed by studying craniometric variation within a series of six time-successive Egyptian populations in order to investigate the evidence for migration over the period of the development of social hierarchy and the Egyptian state. Craniometric variation, based upon 16 measurements, was assessed through principal components analysis, discriminant function analysis, and Mahalanobis D2 matrix computation. Spatial and temporal relationships were assessed by Mantel and Partial Mantel tests. [b]The results indicate overall population continuity over the Predynastic and early Dynastic, and high levels of genetic heterogeneity, thereby suggesting that state formation occurred as a mainly indigenous process. [/b]Nevertheless, significant differences were found in morphology between both geographically-pooled and cemetery-specific temporal groups, indicating that some migration occurred along the Egyptian Nile Valley over the periods studied. Am J Phys Anthropol, 2007.

Zakrzewski (2003) also found little evidence for differences in linear body proportions of Egyptians over a wider temporal range. Here is a link to a discussion with someone slightly smarter than Anglo Piss Pot. Yet, he had to come to the conclusion that ancient Egyptians were indigious Africans who came from the Sahara and Sahel up the Nile. http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=15;t=006521;p=1#000046 [/QB][/QUOTE]
