[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] ^ [b]LOL[/b] Regardless of whether the author is under the influence of her white peers, what matters are her findings which show that ancient Egyptians as well as [i]some[/i] modern day Egyptians from the delta share so-called 'Sub-Saharan' lineages. Such findings are of course a dime a dozen of the genetic findings on ancient remains, which is all the more hilarious why the black identity of the Egyptians all but stated by academia. :o [QUOTE]Originally posted by Truthcentric: [qb] I would like to know exactly which African practices she's referring to, though it's definitely a more compelling explanation than the orthodox suntanning hypothesis. [/qb][/QUOTE]She's referring to the practice of painting the body with red ochre which is practiced by many Nilotic groups though it's also practiced by some Niger-Congo speaking pastoralists in the Sahel and even some Bantu pastoralists. I'm not sure if the reddish brown hue of Egyptian males had to do with concepts of the blood of life so much as the average complexion, though the yellow coloring of females may very well have to do with actual symbolism since as I've pointed out several times before there are Afrisian speaking groups whose women paint themselves with yellow ochre especially on special occasions from the Saharan Tuareg to women in Ethiopia. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [qb] The thesis was written by a Kenyan 'Henry Louis Gates' type black who is more than happy to deny black Egypt in front of her white academic peers, for a few pats on the back. I'm still not sure if the absence of the actual name of the ''lineage' is due to her not citing it, or due to the geneticists omitting it. I presume its the latter since Paabo et al (the geneticists implicated here) also didn't reveal the name of the Sub-Saharan lineages they extracted from 12th dynasty royal remains. [/qb][/QUOTE][b]LOL[/b] I'm sure if these lineages were 'Near Eastern' or even European, we would not only know which specific lineages these were but we would NEVER heard the end of these findings. Of course since these lineages were 'Sub-Saharan' they are exactly headline news and considered academic obscurity to the public. :o [/QB][/QUOTE]
