[QUOTE]Originally posted by S.Mohammad: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by neo*geo: [b] It's absurd considering the lack of evidence that Canaan was mostly negroid at one time however even European Jews show DNA from negroid people above the Sahara like such as the Nubians. I like Greenberg's theory that the Hebrews have origins in Africa rather than the Middle East. They were a mix of mostly Asiatic but also, Indo-European, and Nubian slaves in Egypt and in their 'exodus' from Egypt they spent decades in the Sinai peninsula living amongst Shasu bedouins and fighting Ramses II's armies. After Sinai they moved on to Canaan... [/b][/QUOTE] Well there are dashes of sub-Saharan DNA in Middle Easterners. As I quoted before the Palestinians have 15% sub-Saharan mtDNA. It varies according to which population you're speaking of. It is generally higher and even substanial in places like Yemen, Oman, and Saudi Arabia. In Syrians and Lebanese, it is very low to negligible. The best ones to test would be the Bedouin, who are darker skinned and relatively unmixed. That would at least provide a baseline to go off of. European jews do show some trace of sub-Saharan ancestry but it is too, very low to negligible. It could very well b from Nubians, that I am unable to elaborate on. If blacks were indeed the original inhabitants of Canaan, there would be some hard evidence in the way of anthropology and as far as I know there isn't enough evidence to support the notion of an indigenous black population in Caanan. Wally should best stick to Egypt and Africa and quit trying to use the Bible to prove his theories. [/QB][/QUOTE]
