[QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [QB] [QUOTE]I respect J.L. Angel, but the idea that the Classic Mediterraneans who migrated to Europe were Negroids just because they had a few negroid tendencies is pure speculation.[/QUOTE] In order to refute Larry Angel's findings you need to understand what he was saying. Larry Angel found that the populations that comprised Neolithic Greece were distinct from some other Europeans, and heterogeneous. He concluded, that these peoples were - partly descendant from Europeans, - partly descendant from West Asians, - and partly descendant from East Africans. This is what he meant by "Negroid....from Nubia". Although this finding was widely [if quietly] acknowledged and never refuted in physical anthropology, it was only genetics which provided exacting proof of the essentially correct skeletal findings. Genetically - less than 50% of Greek Y chromosome [meaning paternal lineage] is actually of European origin - about 1/4 is of West Asian origin, and 1/4 is of Sub-saharan African origin. So it is disingenous to claim that Angel was engaging in pure speculation. Rather he developed a scientific hypothesis based on skeletal analysis, which was much later affirmed via genetics.
