[QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova: [QB] Dead says: [b] AE's were subtropical/warm adapted, not tropical/hot. I've also shown this with pigmentation and cephalic index. [/b] No, you were debunked on all counts before, on Reloaded where you posted as "Ben" or "Herodotus" (or whatever) and here as well. You haven't shown anything new that changes the verdict. [b] The discrepancy between those earlier studies and Raxter (2011) regarding crural index is easily explained by the fact the early studies only used "White Americans", while Raxter included specifically "Southern Europeans" in their study. Most "White Americans" have ancestors that came from the north or more northern-Atlantic regions of Europe, as opposed to the Mediterranean [i.e. the three largest ethnic groups of American Whites are: German Americans (16.5%), Irish Americans (11.9%) and English Americans (9.2%)]. So they are more colder adapted, than say Greeks or south Italians. While intermediate, once you include "Southern Europeans", ancient Egyptians' crural indices appear closer to Mediterranean populations than Sub-Saharan African populations. The reverse is true for brachial, while the other body plan indices fall roughly in the middle. [/b] Not surprisingly, you have yet to produce any detailed evidence. Where is the chart or study that shows your Mediterraneans closer to ancient Egyptians? Making a claim is one thing, credible data is another. But let me help you out. On Reloaded you posted a chart showing a Mediterranean zone peoples- the Yugoslavs. On that chart, indeed the Mediterraneans separate somewhat from the northern Europeans, as would be expected for people from warmer climates. However despite this, your Mediterraneans are nowhere near the Egyptians, African-Americans and other tropical peoples, who cluster together. Sorry, your "easy explanation" fails yet again, and with your own "supporting reference." [IMG]http://s11.postimg.org/epp984c6r/555.jpg[/IMG] [/QB][/QUOTE]
