[QUOTE]Originally posted by tropicals redacted: [QB] It's good you didn't try to squirm your way out of the charges I raised about you above. Anyway, next: [QUOTE] None of these descriptions are a problem in my paradigm of indigenous African variation.[/QUOTE]Hahaha!!! Oh dear, you keep misrepresenting, you just can't help it, can you? So you're aware of indigenous African variability, but the rest of us aren't? The rest of us who reject 'true black', 'negroid' stereotypes and bang on about variability ad nauseam, don't get it? Oh yeah, what was that paper Irish wrote where northern Sudanese examples were found to show "sub-Saharan" cranio-facial features, but/and "North African" dental traits? I remember Djehuti commenting something along the lines of the North African/Sub-Saharan African dichotomy being a false one... And I remember Keita (1996)writing that in terms of cranio-facial traits and limb lengths, ancient Egyptians are closer to other North-East Africans than Greeks: [QUOTE] The descriptions and terms of ancient Greek writers have sometimes been used to comment on Egyptian origins. This is problematic since the ancient writers were not doing population biology. However, we can examine one issue. The Greeks called all groups south of Egypt "Ethiopians." Were the Egyptians more related to any of these "Ethiopians" than to Greeks? As noted, cranial and limb studies have indicated greater similarity to Somalis, Kushites and Nubians, all "Ethiopians" in ancient Greek terms" (p23). [/QUOTE]Anyway, again, in his lecture, Irish pointed out pre-dynastic/dynastic/post-dynastic continuity, and spoke of Lower and Upper Egyptian homogeneity. That's not to say that I'm particularly a fan of Irish,but among his commentary there is useful info. [/QB][/QUOTE]
