[QUOTE]Originally posted by Kalonji: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Kalonji: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by dana marniche: [qb] The Natufians were thought to have been composed of two separate populations both evidently African affiliated. The Kebaran (originally epi-Gravettian people)which has always been said to have been related to Upper Paleolithic Northern Africans -like Mechta Afalou of Egypt and Maghereb or Jebel Sahaba of Nubia, etc and the Mushabians who came in from Africa later and were the gracile type described by Garrod at Shukbah as "Negroid" with attenuated limbs. The resulting "Natufians" have been described as homogeneous by Francois Ricaut. Brace refers to them as robust. Apparently both populations coming to make up the Natufian one were African looking people but the question is which one was originally of Central and West African affiliation as opposed to east African affiliation. Another possibility is that the latter as well as later Levant and Ubaid Mesopotamians (previous to the Chalcolithic when lateral-headed brachycephals enter in small numbers) in fact were derived from the Natufians themselves. It might explain what is to account for the great prognathism and rather platyyrhine noses of many of the later Ubaid people of Mesopotamia (Eridu) Arabia etc. There is something missing or enigmatic in the descriptions of Natufians that needs to be delineated more clearly. [/qb][/QUOTE]Although I am in disagreement about your assertion that the African nature of certain Natufians remains was derived from west and/or central Africans, I would definitely appreciate a direct quote where Garrod said: [i]and were the gracile type described by Garrod at Shukbah as "Negroid" with attenuated limbs.[/i] And where Brace said: [i]Brace refers to them as robust.[/i] [/qb][/QUOTE]^To Dana [/QB][/QUOTE]
