[QUOTE]Originally posted by Antalas: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by TubuYal23: Sorry, but ppl that use the word "blacks" as a reasonable connotation to refer to melanated Africans, in the refuse of AE being a "black" population. Brings me to certain conlcusions about you as a indiviual in regards to this specific matter. [/QUOTE]??? [QUOTE]Originally posted by TubuYal23: I know pretty about North African history, and the fact of the matter is (as noted in the text and elsewhere) it's a region that has been invaded upon and occupied by many groups. So using, skulls from the Roman period as an example and there only being 4 out of 64 that can be noted as "Negroid" doesn't make your claim any more true. There is far more research now, beyond the data Ms. Chamla found during her time and the location of her study. [/QUOTE]No you don't seem to know much about the subject or else you would have known that the trans-saharan slave trade brought more people than all the invaders combined lol and indeed we do have more datas now and they confirmed even more what I said. [QUOTE]Originally posted by TubuYal23: [QUOTE]From Figure 7.22 it can be seen that the GARAMANTES (Berbers) cluster most closely to the Sub-Saharan Africans and secondarily to the Roman Egyptians from Alexandria and the Nubians from Soleb[/QUOTE]- The Archaeology of Fazzan. Volume 3, Excavations carried out by C.M. Daniels (pp.375-408)Editors: Mattingly, D.J. and Daniels, C.M. and Dore, J.N. and Edwards, D. and Hawthorne, J. [/QB][/QUOTE]Actually it's more complex : [QUOTE] The study of the fifty or so skulls collected in the central Sahara allows the distinction of three morphological types: Negroids representing barely 25%, a mixed type, in which are associated either prognathism and leptorhynia, or orthognathism and platyrhynia, which constitutes a third of the whole, and finally a non-negroid type, well known above all in the central Sahara (Hoggar-Tassili), representing 41.6% of all the skulls studied. However, some 17 years earlier Professor Sergi had also distinguished, among the skulls collected in the burials of Fezzan rightly attributed to the Garamantes, [b]46.6% Eurafricans, 26.6% nigrified Eurafricans (= mixed type of M.-C. Chamla) and 26.6% negroid. In conclusion, M.-C. Chamla believes that since protohistoric times the racial composition of the populations of the Saharan and South Saharan regions does not seem to have undergone profound changes[/b] . [/QUOTE] https://journals.openedition.org/encyclopedieberbere/877 They literally lived in the Sahara and used to enslave aethiopians (especially "troglodyte aethiopians") no surprise they became darker. Even a ancient african poet (Luxorius) actually criticized their dark skin : [QUOTE] The aesthetic prejudice appears with much clearness, at the end of the ancient period it is true, [b]in Luxorius, African poet exerting at the court of the Vandal kings, at the beginning of the VIth century AD. He opposes, in one of his poems, to the pretty pontic girl, who symbolizes the Nordic woman, a garamante ugly girl (foeda), symbolizing if not the Ethiopian woman, at least the southern type the most distant from the Nordic type[/b] [/QUOTE]L'Afrique noire et le monde méditerranéen dans l'Antiquité (Éthiopiens et Gréco-Romains)par JEHAN DESANGES, p. 410 [/QB][/QUOTE]
