[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Ephestion: [qb] Our Morphology can be captured in snapshots of a continual changing process yet this does not mean that what we see is indicative of the next moment in history. The same can be said of Races. In the same way you use black and white, yellow and red to differentiate and in the same way you use hair and eye colours then by the same way the term Race was a collective to such differentiation. To say the Mediteranean Race and the Negro Race were quantified sets of phenotypes that for the most part worked in deifferentiating one human being from another. In the end the amount of inter racial mixing resulted in multiple forms of ethnicities based on their racial forms. It does not mean that the once Racial categorisation techniques were perfect or obsolete but they only emphasised on a snapshot of human existance. Tomorrow the face of those living in teh same region anywhwere in teh world maybe entirely different. So the use of scientific racial categorisation became redundant. However, due to the fundamental basis of Racism being on differentiation it also has led to much criticism in the way it was used to isolate and scapegoat people in a way to make they appear different or dehumanised in form. The racial theories and categorisations failed to account for much other than to incite rivalry. Both Blacks and WHites, tanned and otherwise were initially working together to create the most famous Egypt. Alexandria from which most of Egypts historical fame derives was a Greek colony. [/qb][/QUOTE]Actually, if you want to look at a civilization that was built by mixtures of people and cultures look at Al-Andalus in Spain. It was a mix of black, white, asian and others that achieved greatness under a somewhat tolerant mantle of religious diversity at various periods. Ancient Egypt was largely dominated by black Africans from the south of Egypt, ethnically, culturally, militarily, religiously and politically. They vastly outnumbered the small pockets of "others" that were present in various places. Later periods of Egyptian history saw a greater presence of "others" but by this time ancient Egypt as we know it was gone. [/QB][/QUOTE]
