[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: As for the Eburrans, do you even know who they are?? The Eburran industry a.k.a. the Kenyan Capsian which predates the Capsian culture was a culture dating 13,000-9,000 BCE. in the area of Kenya, Uganda, southern Ethiopia and southeastern Sudan. How does Swenet know they had narrow noses prior to 3kya? Apparently you forgot that Gamble's Cave is an example of Eburran Culture! Jean Hiernaux [i]The People of Africa (Peoples of the World Series)[/i] 1975 [i]The oldest remains of Homo sapiens sapiens found in East Africa were associated with an industry having similarities with the Capsian. It has been called Upper Kenyan Capsian, although its derivation from the North African Capsian is far from certain. At Gamble's Cave in Kenya, five human skeletons were associated with a late phase of the industry, Upper Kenya Capsian C, which contains pottery. A similar associationis presumed for a skeleton found at Olduvai, which resembles those from Gamble's Cave. The date of Upper Kenya Capsian C is not precisely known (an earlier phase from Prospect Farm on Eburru Mountain close to Gamble's Cave has been dated to about 8000 BC); but the presence of pottery indicates a rather later date, perhaps around 400 BC. The skeletons are of very tall people. [b]They had long, narrow heads, and relatively long, narrow faces. The nose was of medium width; and prognathism, when present, was restricted to the alveolar, or tooth-bearing, region[/b]......all their features can be found in several living populations of East Africa, like the Tutsi of Rwanda and Burundi, who are very dark skinned and differ greatly from Europeans in a number of body proportions............. From the foregoing, it is tempting to locate the area of differentiation of these people in the interior of East Africa. [b]There is every reason to believe that they are ancestral to the living 'Elongated East Africans'. Neither of these populations, fossil and modern, should be considered to be closely related to the populations of Europe and western Asia.[/b][/i] [/QUOTE]Indeed. And what's more, the Eburran remains are grouped in what Pinhasi et al call LSA (late stone age Africa), and we all know the mandible affinities of this group: [i]Similarly, the Epipaleolithic populations from [b]Site 117 and Wadi Halfa are also affiliated with sub-Saharan LSA, Iron Age and modern Negroid groups[/b][/i] --Vermeersch 2002 [/QB][/QUOTE]
