[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] ^ Indeed, chepalic index is just one of a number cranial features that vary among populations. While one type may be common among certain populations it is [b]not[/b] exclusive to those populations. I don't know about all of the claims of Boaz, but I am sure he was the first prominent anthropologist to use evolutionary perspectives on populations and thus dynamics and change among population traits, and not the stereotyped static view of his predecessors As for the JAMA paper, I've only read the genetic reports but not the craniometrics data, as I and I'm sure everyone else are all to familiar with that. That said, I'm in disbelief that they would state that Tut or anyone in his family is brachycephalic since ALL craniometric studies on the 18th dynasty and perhaps all Egyptian dynasties for that matter classify them as having [i]pronounced[/i] dolichocephaly! [QUOTE]Originally posted by Hammered: [qb] None of the 18th dynasty Kings are negroes. the 25th dynasty is the only Egyptian dynasty thought to be nubian...[/qb][/QUOTE]First of all, Nubians and Egyptians are closely related peoples both culturally and physically. Secondly, all craniometric studies especially those done by Harris and Wente show that the 18th dynasty bears a striking resemblance to contemporary Nubians especially the founding father Sekenenra Tao of the 17th dynasty so your baseless protests are in vain. [QUOTE][qb]..Our guy here that does ancient stuff tells me that upper Egypt was 5% negroid, lower egypt 1%. [/qb][/QUOTE]We're not interested in what "your guy" that does "ancient stuff" (whatever that means) who is likely a product of your imagination has to say. Unless this guy of yours is real and has some real studies to prove this claim, you might as well not bring him up. By the way, can you please point out where in the JAMA paper did it say Tut carried R1b? The results of the genetic analysis were quite clear and they mentioned NOTHING about haplogroup let alone R1b. No doubt your R1b claims are another product of your silly imagination as is your "European farmer" origins of the Egyptian dynasties. :o [/QB][/QUOTE]
