[QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova: [QB] Yes- and if some were living in the cooler Medit zone for a long time, or were under the influence of the Sahara's climatic fluctuation over many millennia, there would be variation. But even Lower Egyptians are more tropically adapted overall than people from EUrope or the "Middle East." The don't have to be identical, just show the primary overall pattern the scholars have found. Raxter and Ruff analyzed mostly northern skeletal samples and came away with the overall conclusion - the Egyptians clustered more with Africans. Kemp 2005 also reported on head to head comparisons. The results were the same. There was variation, but overall, same bottom line. The presence of more variation somewhere does not affect the bottom line.

Cranial studies and DNA show the change. Today's Egyptians are not the same as the ancients, as credible scholars show.

Narrow noses for example, are as "African" as broad noses, and don't necessarily need any "wandering Caucasoids" to explain why indigenous people in Africa vary in how they look. All know Africa has had migration in and out, just like every other place but that does not change the bottom line of indigenous variation. Africans are the most phenotypically diverse people on earth. [IMG]https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ukYSg-cf_YQ/VhAQyMFUL-I/AAAAAAAAB20/78G2HIV6ACc/s1600/african_crural_overlap.jpg[/IMG] [/QB][/QUOTE]
