[QUOTE]Originally posted by Troll Patrol: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by xyyman: "Eyeballing" AEian murals, statues etc AEians were undoubtedly extremely dark people. Infact, as black as equatorial Africans. [/QUOTE]rather than a faded version of chocolate brown, most AE in the art had a medium reddish brown skin tone, a reddish brwon tone that is not uncommon in modern Egypt. Some appear lighter, others darker. Obviously as per the art they were not represented as "extremly" dark as equatorial Africans. Why would you say this? One of the common tones used by the AE's to portray Nubians is black and you don't see groups (I said groups) of AE's portrayed in this extremely dark color. The vast amjority are portrayed a brick brown color: most typical ancient Egyptian skin color (hair however is extremely dark): [IMG]http://blstb.msn.com/i/1F/80CA193BAE96CB4672B74A79F1D1.jpg[/IMG] extremely dark typical Nubian color [IMG]http://zoom.mfa.org/fif=c%2FCR3104-d1.fpx&obj=iip,1.0&wid=600&cell=600,420&cvt=jpeg[/IMG] ^^^^obvious difference, you can't be serious [QUOTE]Originally posted by xyyman: Most had curly straight hair, a few had kinky hair. Most had "sharp noses", a few had "flat noses". It is 50/50 for the full lips vs thin lips. Bottom line - ALL were black. Which makes sense after all they came from the South (Sudan) and Sahara areas. [/QUOTE]is this a list of "black traits" and you are concluding from this list that "Bottom line - ALL were black" ? or are you not making such a connection? [QUOTE]Originally posted by xyyman: And unlike many here I believe extremely kinky hair is a NEW evolutionary adaptation. Which means original Africans(AMH) probably had straightish hair when they lived in the plains of the Sahara and East Africa. [/qb][/QUOTE]this would mean that Africans who continued to live in these climates for long periods, example Khosians in an even more arid climate, would have retained straight hair. But they do not have straight hair. In fact their peppercorn hair is more different to straight hair than is the common type of afro-kinky hair found in most parts of Africa. [/QB][/QUOTE]The climate is alike, not the same. It also depends on whether one moved to different places/ migrated. And had different diet. Everyone is affected different by circumstances. Can you understand? For your extremely dark argument, look at the posts above where you posted pictures of men of different complexions. Why is that? They are from the same region after all!
