[QUOTE]Originally posted by dana marniche: [QB] 1913 - "On page 54 of the same book Rawlinson says: The antiquity of civilization in the valley of the Nile which preceded by many centuries that even of primitive Chaldaea is another indication of the migration having been from east to west; and the monuments and traditions of the Chaldaeans themselves have been thought to present some curious indications of an east African origin. On the whole, therefore, it seems that the race designated in scripture by the hero founder Nimrod and among Greeks by the eponym of Belus, pased from east Africa by way of Arabia to the valley of the Eurphrates, shortly after the opening of the historical period." p. 512 of The African abroad, Or, His Evolution in Western Civilization, Tracing His Development Under Caucasian Milieu, Volume I by William Henry Ferris, 1913 1911 ".. a description of the bones of an early Briton of that remote epoch might apply in all esential details to an inhabitant of Somaliland... The people were longheaded of small stature, skull is long, narrow and coffin shaped, brow ridges poorly developed, forehead is narrow, vertical and often slightly bulging." pp. 65 The Ancient Egyptians Elliot Smith 1911 - "...it will be found that the geographical circumstances tend to support and corroborate that the contention put forward in the preceding paragraphs on other grounds that the kinsmen of the Mediterranean and Hamitic peoples overflowed so to speak from the Mediterranean and East African littorals into the whole peninsula of Arabia and the shores of the Persian Gulf. In other words Syria, Arabia, Mesopotamia and Sumer were parts of the original domain of the Brown Race." pp. 145-146 of The Ancient Egyptians and their Influence on the Civilization of Europe, Harper and Brothers London and New York, 1911. 1911 - "The essential identity to the early Neolithic Europeans and of the proto-Egyptians is generally admitted. The former in fact were certainly derived from the latter." G. Elliot Smith p. 27 The Ancient Egyptians recent 2007 edition. LATER - Ephraim Speiser was one of the first to mention in his Oriental and Biblical Studies ( published in 1967 by the University of Pennsylvania Press )the curiosity of how the familiar remains of sculptured monuments in the fertile cresent didn't seem to reflect the dominant ancient dolichocephalic (long-headed) Afro-Mediterranean population of the region, but rather round-headed prominent nosed types then called "Armenoids" by physical anthropologists. 1952 - "Examination of the skulls which have been found on several sites in Anatolia shows that in the third millennium the population was preponderantly long-headed or dolichocephalic, with only a small admixture of brachycephalic types. In the second millennium the proportion of brachycephalic skulls increases to about 50 percent."” (6) Gurney, O.R.; The Hittites, Penguin Books, 1990, First Ed. 1952 p. 284 1972 - “The population of both Upper and Lower Mesopotamia in prehistoric times belonged to the brown or Mediterranean race. While this basic stock persisted in historical, times especially in the south, it became increasingly, mixed especially with broad-headed Armenoid peoples from the northeastern mountains owing to the recurrent incursions of mountain tribes into the plain.” In William L. Langer – An Encyclopedia of World History, Houghton Mifflin Company Boston 1972 . 1987 - "The Mushabians moved into the Sinai from the Nile Delta, bring North African lithic chipping techniques... the population overflow from Northeast Africa played a definite role in the establishment of the Natufian adaptation, which in turn led to the emergence of agriculture as a new subsistence system." Pleistocene connexions between Africa and Southwest Asia: an archaeological perspective O. Bar-Yosef. African Archaeological Review. 5 (1987) Pg 29. 1993 - “the fact that so many European Neolithic groups in Figure 4 tie more closely to the Late Dynastic Egyptians near the Mediterranean coast than they do with modern Europeans provides suggestive support for an eastern Mediterranean source for the people of the European Neolithic at an even earlier time level than Bernal suggests for the Egyptian-Phoenician colonization and influence on Greece early in the second millennium BC" found in Clines and Clusters versus 'Race': A Test in Ancient Egypt and the Case of a Death on the Nile, Year book of Physical Anthropology, 36:1-33, 1993 2006 - “The significance of Africans in these cultures and early development of agriculture in southwest Asia and Anatolia can be seen from “African” skeletal traits and painted images both among (Mediterranean) Natufians and early farmers (at Chatal Huyuk and Nea Nikomedia).” Black Athena: The Afroasiatic Roots of Civilization Volume III, p. 52 2006 - "Modern Europeans ranging all of the way from Scandinavia to Eastern Europe and throughout the Mediterranean on to the Middle East show that they are closely related to each other. The surprise is that the Neolithic peoples of Europe and their Bronze Age successors are not closely related to the modern inhabitants..." from The questionable contribution of the Neolithic and the Bronze Age to European craniofacial form, C. Loring Brace, Noriko Seguchi, Conrad B. Quintyn,§ Sherry C. Fox,¶ A. Russell Nelson, Sotiris K. Manolis, and Pan Qifeng Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2006 January 3; 103(1): 242–247. Surprise, surprise... but why are modern scientists surprised? Anatomist G. Elliot Smith along with other physical anthropologists had said long ago in the early 1900s - "The populations which occupied North East AFrica to the Bab el Mandeb the whole Mediterranean littoral, the Iberian peninsula, Western France and the British Isels before the coming of copper were linked together by the closest bonds of affinity. They were certainly the offspring of one mother..." p. 67 The Ancient Egyptians 2007 Edition. [/QB][/QUOTE]
