[QUOTE]Originally posted by tropicals redacted: [QB] I reference one of the findings from the lecture -population continuity and homogeneity - and it triggers Swenet's tic. The Irish statements appear to have rattled him and I'm trying to think why..something to do with Lower Egypt? And I hope you're not suggesting that we reject studies/authors out of hand if their positions don't fully accord with our approach and understanding? [b]Anyway, again, I repeat, I forwarded Irish's comments to a supportive academic, who, whilst having questions, recommended use of them. Swenet hasn't yet referred to this. I wonder why?[/b] Ancient Egyptian cranio-facial traits and limb lengths as Keita (1996) states, show similarity with other North-East black Africans/'Ethiopians'. Irish, whatever you might think of his work, concludes that the ancient Egyptian population was,based on the dental records, homogeneous across Upper and Lower Egypt, and biologically constant from pre-dynastic to post- dynastic.Along with the Patricia Smith study on pre-dynastic Lower Egyptian limb lengths,it's another nail in the coffin for the argument that the population was bifurcated between Lower and Upper Egypt. Irish dichotimises North and sub-Saharan Africa, but his own work in northern Sudan, as indicated by Djehuti, means that this is flawed. Meat and bones. We know enough from multiple lines of evidence that the population had inner African ancestry. Irish's work says the population was continuous and homogeneous, at least dentally. There's nothing nefarious or underhand in my citing Irish here. But carry on. [/QB][/QUOTE]
