[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doctoris Scientia: [QB] LOL@you, cat got your tongue All that information and thats all you can say, it's so obvious that you know **** when it comes to Ancient Egypt and it's population affiliation. Lets try again... Overall, when the Egyptian crania are evaluated in a Near Eastern (Lachish) versus African (Kerma, Jebel Moya, Ashanti) context) the affinity is with the Africans. The Sudan and Palestine are the most appropriate comparative regions which would have 'donated' people, along with the Sahara and Maghreb. Archaeology validates looking to these regions for population flow (see Hassan 1988)... Egyptian groups showed less overall affinity to Palestinian and Byzantine remains than to other African series, especially Sudanese." [/img] S. O. Y. Keita, "Studies and Comments on Ancient Egyptian Biological Relationships," History in Africa 20 (1993) 129-54 NORTHERN Egypt shows more physical variation than the south, but NOT necessarily as part of any significant 'race' MIX, but local, built-in variation. They were closer to southerners than any other peoples. In comparisons with "Middle Eastern" populations of the same ancient period, the Egyptians link more closely with OTHER AFRICANS than the Middle Easterners. Africans vary in how they look because they have the highest built-in molecular diversity to begin with. This is what Keita was suggesting, the Lower Egyptian population had features which were intermediate in regard to West African/Khoisan peoples and Europeans, but it wasn't due to any race mixing. "The Upper Egyptian population apparently began to converge skeletally on Lower Egyptian patterns through the dynastic epoch; whether this is primarily due to gene flow or other factors has yet to be finally determined. The Lower Egyptian pattern is intermediate to that of the various northern Europeans and West African and Khoisan." - Keita." On modern Egypt... "Cosmopolitan northern Egypt is less likely to have a population representative of the core indigenous population of the most ancient times".- Keita (2005), pp. 564 "The Greco-Roman mummy portraits of al-Fayyum also show some evidence of "mixing" among the Greek settlers (unless some of those Greeks already possessed some degree of African ancestry)."
