[QUOTE]Originally posted by supercar: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [b]Keita has done terrific work, but I can't see how he would accepted by Eurocentrics other than to say that they can't and don't try and directly reject his work. But his findings are directly in contrast to the fundamental tenants of Eurocentrism. ie - "None of Keita's work suggests the penetration of West Asian or European types being a factor in the creation of Dynastic Egypt", and... "the Southern Egyptians and Nubians are most closely related to Nile River peoples in the Sudan and to other peoples in adjacent regions. These peoples are, in turn, a blending of the same Saharan type with the type found in the Badari and early Nakada cultures that would fit into the so called "authentic African" typology. However, Keita (1993) rightly rejects such an idea of the authentic African, and similar terms like "Forest Negro," "True Negro," etc. He notes that the rejection of relationship between types not both meeting the "True Negro" standard, would be as invalid as rejecting relationships between Europeans who were non-Nordic," uhm.....that is not a compromise with Eurocentrism, that is a complete dismantling of it. I simply long to see the day the history books start reflecting these findings.[/b][/QUOTE] You are right about Eurocentrics reluctantly accepting Keita's findings. Nevertheless, they use his findings selectively to make their point. What would you consider Mary Lefkowitz? You are most likely to describe her as being terrifically Eurocentric, right? Anyway, here is a quote by Mary Lefkowitz using Keita's findings selectively to make a point: "On the Origins of the Egyptians Recent work on skeletons and DNA suggests that the people who settled in the Nile valley, like all of humankind, came from somewhere south of the Sahara; they were not (as some nineteenth-century scholars had supposed) invaders from the North. See Bruce G. Trigger, "The Rise of Civilization in Egypt," Cambridge History of Africa (Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 1982), vol I, pp 489-90; [b]S. O. Y. Keita, "Studies and Comments on Ancient Egyptian Biological Relationships," History in Africa 20 (1993) 129-54.[/b]" I found this in a link to her website: [URL=http://www.wellesley.edu/CS/Mary/contents.html]http://www.wellesley.edu/CS/Mary/contents.html[/URL] [This message has been edited by supercar (edited 07 July 2004).] [/QB][/QUOTE]
