[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] Eugene Strouhal has a paper on the cranio-facial specifics of some royal dynastic lower Egyptian family members from the Old Kingdom. I discussed this paper as well as other dynastic lower Egyptian skeletal remains with the troll starting from ~2013 when I was bringing him up to speed. We also went over aspects of Irish' work. So I know exactly what he's doing with his selective quote-mining and his sneaky attempts to bring up dynastic lower Egyptians in relationship to Badarians like that, while remaining mum on their metric cranio-facial relationships in a larger, global, context. I'm sure Irish mentioned dynastic lower Egyptians in his lecture, but I pretty confident that he has never published anything on the dental traits of the predynastic lower Egyptians. Sometimes in his work you can tell that he's short on certain samples. In one paper he tried to use the Gebel Ramlah as a stand in for early neolithic Egypt (Gebel Ramlah lies, of course, south of the 1st cataract). This isn't automatically a bad thing (given the known affinities between Nubians and Egyptians) but it does show that his sample set is limited at times and that his interpretation of his results relies to some extent on assumptions. Which is why he arrived at the "mid-holocene population replacement" theory to begin with: he doesn't have sufficient samples or he would have known that the ancestors of (pre)dynastic Egypto-Nubians didn't suddenly appear in the Egyptian and lower Nubian record after ~6000BC.
