[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE] Predynastic egyptian stature and physical proportions 1986 G. Robins and C. C. D. Shute When consistency has been achieved in this way, predynastic, proportions are founded to be such that distal segments of the limbs are even longer in relation to the proximal segments than they are in modern negroes. Such proportions are termed «super-negroid».[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova: [b]^^^ The 2 statements that the ancient Egyptians had super negroid proportions is false [/b] ^Laughable. So who are they talking about that had said proportions? Chinese? [/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: The Egyptians didn't have "super-negroid" limb proportions. Enough data has come out by now to show that this is a myth, especially their crural indices. Their brachial indices, however, are rather high, and more tending to the African side of the equation. How tropically adapted their limbs were doesn't matter (limb length is not a useful litmus test of recent African ancestry, as evidenced by the limbs lengths of European Mesolithic samples). What matters is that the Ancient Egyptian limb lengths are such that they cannot be accounted for by Ancient Egypt's ecology and that they rule out an origin independent of the tropics.
