[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] This is a post of Neith-Athena's from another thread that I transposed here to be the initial post for the subject header. I don't want to speak for Neith but I imagine she means neolithic people from the same areas the much later 19th Dynasty "Sea People" came from. I didn't take her literally. My contributions don't begin until the 3rd post of this thread.

Maybe we can also learn--in terms of numbers--the significance of such migrations. Re What to call the people of Africa Why not be economical and consistent in the whole matter. For example, South Asians and East Asians differ significantly in terms of phenotype yet when described colour terms and eye shape terms are never brought up. Why not just speak in terms of regions--when it comes to Africa--West Africa, East Africa, Southern Africa and North Africa. Talk of "sub-Saharan" Africa is sheer racism--because as you wrote it is just euphemistic racist code for all the world's ills--maximally exaggerated for racist effect. But to be more accurate one can use the same techniques as animal and plan biologists: an African would simply be a member of the human species whose phenotype offers evidence of being shaped by the environments of Africa. A significant phenotypical marker of such would be "hair form"--of which the African variety seems unique to Africa--coupled with a pigmentation range from very dark(Sudan) to yellow(some of the populations of North and Southern Africa). [/qb][/QUOTE]I am no expert but from what I have understood by browsing through this forum during the Neolithic Sea Peoples went to the African coast and mixed with the local (Black - should go sans saying) population. Am I wrong? If so, please correct me. [/qb][/QUOTE]This is the first time I'm hearing of neolithic "sea peoples". What is the evidence that? "Sea peoples" usually refer to a groups of people who arrived long after the Old Kingdom in North Africa. [/qb][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
