[QUOTE]Originally posted by Thought2: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by neo*geo: [B]Let's not ignore the fact that lower Egyptians since pre-dynastic times were for the most part, not black Africans. [B][/QUOTE] Thought Writes: That would depend on ones definition of "Black". If we use the standard American/U.K. definition of Black, then pre-dynactic Lower Egyptians were Black. If one wants to classify them as bi-racial, then fine. But the most recent genetic evidence indicates that tropical Africans had colonized the Levant during the mesolithic period spreading the Afro-Asiatic languages. The modern San people living in South Africa have melanin levels consistant with their mediterranean adaptation. I would expect that the Ancient Lower Egyptians would be lighter in skin than the Upper Egyptians, but just like the modern San people this can be explained without invoking Eurasian migration theories. Most non-anthropologists/lay people consider the San people "Black". [/QB][/QUOTE]
