[QUOTE]Originally posted by Kalonji: [QB] http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=15;t=002665 ^Truthcentric, read the thread. Judging by my question to you, apparently you had posed the question before [i]TRENTON W. HOLLIDAY1. 1Department of Anthropology, Tulane University. The Epipaleolithic site of Jebel Sahaba (Sudan) was discovered in 1962, ca. 1 km from the east bank of the Nile, and ca. 3 km north of Wadi Halfa (the site is now submerged beneath Lake Nasser/Nubia). From 1962-1966, a total of 58 intentionally-buried skeletons were uncovered at the site. Diagnostic microliths suggestive of the Qadan industry as well as the site’s geology suggest an age of 14 – 12 ka for these burials. In this study, the body proportions of the Jebel Sahaba hominins are compared to those of a large (N =ca. 1100) sample of recent human skeletons from Europe, Africa, and the north circumpolar region, as well as to terminal Pleistocene “Iberomaurusian” skeletons from the northwestern African sites of Afalou (Algeria) and Taforalt (Morocco), and Natufian skeletons from the southern Levantine sites of El Wad and Kebara. Univariate analyses distinguish Jebel Sahaba from European and circumpolar samples, but do not tend to segregate them from North or Sub-Saharan African samples. In contrast, multivariate analyses (PCA, PCO with minimum spanning tree, NJ and UPGMA cluster analyses) indicate that the body shape of the Jebel Sahaba hominins is closest to that of recent Sub-Saharan Africans, and different from that of either the Natufians or the northwest African “Iberomaurusian” samples. Importantly, these results corroborate those of Irish (2000), who, using non-metric dental and osseous oral traits, found that Jebel Sahaba was most similar to recent Sub-Saharan Africans, andmorphologically distinct from their contemporaries in other parts of North Africa. This study was funded in part by NSF (grant number SBR-9321339).[/i] King Maybe someone is interested in researching whether the type of Natufians described here are the same sample/age described by Brace, Arthur Keith etc as ''Negroid''. Note that Arthur Keith referred to ''negroid'' Natufians from around 5000bc. Brace had earlier samples as he was referring to their latest hunters who were transitioning into the neolithic. I'll deal with it when it has been demonstrated that the short limbed type pertains to samples described by Brace, Keith, Keita and others. ''Natufian'' is a culture, not a single population [/QB][/QUOTE]
