[QUOTE]Originally posted by Amun-Ra The Ultimate: [QB] [QUOTE] [i]""..sample populations available from northern Egypt from before the 1st Dynasty (Merimda, Maadi and Wadi Digla) turn out to be significantly different from sample populations from early Palestine and Byblos, suggesting a lack of common ancestors over a long time. If there was a south-north cline variation along the Nile valley it did not, from this limited evidence, continue smoothly on into southern Palestine. The limb-length proportions of males from the Egyptian sites group them with Africans rather than with Europeans." [/i] --(Barry Kemp, "Ancient Egypt Anatomy of a Civilisation. (2005) Routledge. p. 52-60) [/QUOTE]What people can retain from this discussion is that Ancient Egyptians from various era (beside foreign dynasties) have similar limb and body proportions than African people (Sub-Saharan Africans, African-Americans, etc) and different from modern and ancient Europeans, West Asians, North Africans and Palestinians. We can see it many studies such as the Barry Kemp quote above, [URL=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18257013]Raxter (2008)[/URL] and here taken from Holliday 2013: [IMG]http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y421/amunratheultimate2/Misc2/NJTreeofpostcranialvariableset_zpsc17c6cdd.jpg[/IMG] [/QB][/QUOTE]
