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

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Truthcentric: [QB] Before we can determine whether or not wholly indigenous Africans can have less than tightly curled hair, we first need to figure out exactly [i]why[/i] we have variation in human hair texture to begin with. Some might argue that straighter hair in modern humans is a derived trait characteristic of cold-adapted populations, but that doesn't explain why Australian aborigines, who are otherwise perfectly tropically adapted, have wavy rather than woolly hair (especially since they are sandwiched between woolly-haired populations in New Guinea and Tasmania). How can we determine whether less woolly hair in Africans is a product of admixture with cold-adapted people when we don't even know why most Africans have woolly hair in the first place? BTW, hair curvature is only one variable of hair morphology; it could very well be that other aspects of Egypto-Nubian hair morphology are more in line with other Africans. [/QB][/QUOTE]
