[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] ^ While I don't doubt the Canaanite and other southern ancestry of the Israelites, they also had ancestry from more northern groups as well such as likely the Hurrians. I generally am in agreement with Tukuler that the ancient Jews were divided into two kingdoms-- Judah and Israel-- the former in the south and the latter in the north, each assimilating different peoples in the area. The Judahites were the ones more black in appearance while the Israelites proper were no doubt lighter due to such light-skinned elements. Of course I am of the predominant opinion that these ancient kingdoms were in the Levant instead of Arabia or Yemen. But even southern Arabia was not safe from such northern/light-skinned influence! Recall the Pagani et al. study that talked about light-skin genes and associated Levantine ancestry found in Ethiopia [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=008274]here[/URL], and there is a recent study showing that such influence continues farther south in Africa albeit in much smaller frequency as shown [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=008634]here[/URL]. These genetic findings confirm what is found in the archaeology and especially skeletal remains-- that Arabia was already diverse due to infiltration of lighter-skinned types from the north already, and that some of this spilled out into Africa! This fact along with more recent incursions by folks from the north is why you have some Himyarites who like the below: [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/30/Himyarite_chief.jpg/314px-Himyarite_chief.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img92.imageshack.us/img92/1038/42677542ym1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/6351/coinm.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.yemenobserver.com/images/Alhimyari.jpg?keepThis=true&TB_iframe=true[/IMG] [IMG]http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/4451/6gd2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/3323/31833144zx4.jpg[/IMG] [/QB][/QUOTE]
