[QUOTE]Originally posted by Troll Patrol # Ish Gebor: [QB] After reading Raxter thesis a bit better, or actually for the first time. Here is the following, full citation. Instead of the broken down version. Folks like lioness and ilk used. [QUOTE] [b]Cranial and dental evidence then tends to support a scenario of biological continuity in Egypt.[/b] [...] The main skeletal sample consisted of 492 males and 528 females, all adults from the Predynastic and Dynastic Periods, a time spanning c. 5500 BCE-600 CE. Egyptian body dimensions were compared to Nubian groups, as well as to modern Egyptians and other higher and lower latitude populations. [b]The present study found a downward trend in ancient Egyptian stature for both sexes through time, as well as decreased sexual dimorphism in stature.[/b] The decreases may be associated with dietary and social stress with the intensification of agriculture and increased societal complexity. [b]Modern Egyptians in the study’s sample[/b] are generally taller and heavier than their predecessors; however, modern Egyptians exhibit relatively lower sexual dimorphism in stature. [b]Ancient Egyptians have more tropically adapted limbs in comparison to body breadths, which tend to be intermediate when plotted against higher and lower latitude populations. [/b] These results may reflect the greater plasticity of limb lengths compared to body breadth. The results might also suggest early Mediterranean and/or Near Eastern influence in Northeast Africa. [/QUOTE]-- Michelle H. Raxter (2011) Egyptian Body Size: A Regional and Worldwide Comparison What it says is that modern incoming populations from abroad may have influenced the body ratio. This so, especially in the North/ Lower Egypt. Since there was a trend of difference over time. Historically this is accurate. [/QB][/QUOTE]
