The AE consistently portrayed the Sudanese as jet black but somehow we are supposed to believe that came from Eurasia too?[/qb][/QUOTE]well Doug, there are some facts you seem to have overlooked. it turns out that a key part of MENA is not actually in Eurasia. and that not all Eurasians are in fact light-skinned. also, it seems skin colour in the past was not necessarily what it is now. furthermore that the population of ancient Sudan might just have included different people in different times and places. and also that Ancient Egyptians hadn't quite got around to inventing photography and could conceivably have stylized their depictions on occasion. but other than those details a crushing argument, dude. [/qb][/QUOTE]MENA is a geopolitical term created after WWI. It has nothing to do with history or anthropology. And obviously it cant be used to claim that ancient Sudanese weren't black like they are today even with so-called "Arab" mixture. To even sit here and try and use a geo-political term created less than 100 years ago as some kind of "source" of what people where where 5000 years ago is stupid is the point. [QUOTE] The Middle East: The Way It Is and Why By Meredith Friedman February 10, 2016 Most investors know what an emerging market is. Some might even be able to offer a pretty good definition of what puts the “emerge” into emerging markets. But ask about the Middle East, and no one really knows what it is. Out of sheer necessity, the name “Middle East” was invented at the start of the 20th century. The need for a name was anchored in a geographic puzzle: how to distinguish the region between the Near East and the Far East. Depending on whom you ask, credit for coining the term “Middle East” goes to either the American military or the British government. Either way, the area’s new identity was determined by outsiders. The term Near East originally referred to the Ottoman Empire, while the Far East meant East Asia. When the Ottoman Empire disintegrated, it was vital to find a new term for the area that is today Turkey. The name “middle east” was popularized in 1902 by US Naval strategist Alfred Thayer Mahan in an article he authored that ran in the National Review. It has since entered the global lexicon as a term that everyone knows yet few can quite define.[/QUOTE] http://www.mauldineconomics.com/this-week-in-geopolitics/the-middle-east-the-way-it-is-and-why That term is meaningless in a pure geographic sense. If there is a Middle East why is there no Middle West? What about Middle South? This nonsense term has absolutely no bearing on the fact that Africans in what is now Sudan have been crossing into Arabia since before the terms Arabia or Sudan even existed or even the concept of an Arab. And of course they have been blacker than black since then as well as certainly no mixture with any Eurasians would have introduced the darkest skin tones found in any part of Africa either, either now or 5000 years ago. And certainly the 300,000 year history of black Africans moving around and evolving diversity in Africa before even a human existed anywhere else does not need the presence of any others from anywhere else with some made up geographic name to explain it. So if we are going to tell the story lets tell the full story. [/QB][/QUOTE]
