Is Kmtian wavy and straight hair the only trait not shared with Ancient Nubians?

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Truthcentric: [qb] ^ When you come back, I must ask you about this statement of yours: [QUOTE][qb]This is all very logical and what one would expect, yet, for some reason, there was no similar change in their hair type and texture from whooly to wavy. Instead we get reports from several studies, about how the AE's, including the Southern ones, had cross section indices typical of coastal Northern Africans and Europeans since Predynastic times.[/qb][/QUOTE]Where did you read about these reports? As I recall, predynastic Egyptian hair has indices between 35 and 65, well within the range of curly hair. [/qb][/QUOTE]The info I'm referring to is implied in the very study you're mentioning right now, among other studies, some of which you've posted earlier. Keep in mind that the Strouhal meassurements you're citing were obtained from what he saw as the ''racially intermediate'' componant of his total hair sample. In other words, the cross sections of the straight hairs were not a part of that specific examination, only a few of the wavy and curly ones. Already forgot about posting this? [QUOTE]Originally posted by Truthcentric: [qb] To be honest, though, I'm not so sure the Egyptians had curly hair on average. According to this study done on Egyptian hair, the average trichometer index ranged between 65.2 and 72.1, the latter rating being typical of straighter hair (though admittedly the 72.1 rating came from a small predynastic sample).
