[QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by tropicals redacted: [qb] At a November 2014 British Museum lecture, Who were the Ancient Egyptians?, Joel Irish said that, based on the dental record, there was population continuity from the Badarian through to the Roman period, as well as homogeneity encompassing both Upper and Lower Egypt. EDIT: OK, managed to find quotes: [QUOTE] What you see then is that there is incredible similarity among all populations leading to the dynastic through pre-dynastic times [with a few?] post-dynastic thrown in. None of these are what you'd call significantly different from one another. They're all the same population. Whether they're from early, late, whether they're from Upper or Lower Egypt. There are two outliers though, trying to figure out what the heck are these guys doing and it now turns out the top one is a Greek site, Greek sample, that just happen to be in Egypt, and the bottom one is Roman. So what we've got here are some outside people, these cemeteries were from non-Egyptians, is what it looks like. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE] Dentally the ancient Egyptians show an incredible amount of internal homogeneity, between predynastic and dynastic times. They are statistically not significantly different from one another, they show tremendous similarity from south to north and through time - these are one very continuous population.[/QUOTE]----------- [/qb][/QUOTE]^^ Very interesting. There was a guy on Reloaded in "attack" mode trying to use the dental studies of Irish to claim that "continuity" means that today's Arabized Egyptians are the same as the ancients- and behold! An Ancient Egypt "free" of the dreaded "black" or "African" types. Some of today's Egyptians like this- heaven forbid that their allegedly "pure" Egypt should be part of the "African" continent or an "African people." Horrors! Of course they fail miserably, and knowledgeable people educated with the info on ES, Reloaded and elsewhere can see through their bogus propaganda. Irish is correct and the key model of his "continuity" approach are the Badarians, who are deemed as quite representative of what the ancients looked like. Of course no region in a strategic location like Egypt is static- migrations, conquests etc happen, so eventually the ancient population would change. The Roman and Greek samples Irish mentions shows such changes. But "continuity" begins with the dreaded tropical "African" types, who refuse to go away.
