[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: what do you mean favored?[/QUOTE]It is as plain as day. You don't know what "favor" means?...as in "preference". [QUOTE] sorry about attributing "all tawny". I assume you would agree that some tawny skinnedness in North Africans is attributable to European input[/QUOTE]Making false [b]assumptions[/b] is a good way to start baseless rumors, especially when they are repeated over and over. As for light skin, surely the impact of gene flow from the more northern latitudes has to be a factor in the range of skin pigment relaxation in coastal north African populations. However, as I have said, even without gene flow, the populations of the Maghreb will still likely be "light" in their skin pigment content compared to the equatorial-proximate populations. Perhaps they could have been as "light" as the KhoiSan on average, who live in more or less similar geo-climatic environment, without the interference of external gene flow from outside. [QUOTE] would you agree that North Africans have more European ancestry than other Africans?[/QUOTE]Coastal North Africa is closer to Europe than other parts of Africa. Is it not? A more substantive question would be: Agreeing to such a prospect (in your question) would mean what precisely? [QUOTE] Heroditus describes two types of Libyans. In some the art you see Libyans reddish brown in others lighter tan or light yellowish or "tawny" would you say that because these depictions of Libyans as 1186–1155 BC that it is not due to any non-African elements such as Sea People etc.?[/QUOTE]I have no idea who these "Libyans" are, other than what the ancient Egyptian texts tell us about them. I don't even know how much connection, if any, they have with contemporary coastal north African populations. I therefore cannot answer your question, but maybe you can fill me in on the ancestry of these historic figures? [/QB][/QUOTE]
