[QUOTE]Originally posted by Troll Patrol: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Firewall: [qb] Modern sudan [/qb][/QUOTE]Huhmmmm, some Arabic tribes moved into Africa recently. Hence the o.p. posted Sample of Arab Nubians taken. You took out the Arab part, for some funny reason. I wouldn't be surprised if most of the data and claims, would actually represent these recent immigrate populations. [QUOTE] [list] [*]Nubians possess more tropically adapted leg limbs and a more linear body plan compared to Egyptians. This was expected since Nubians are situated further south and closer to Sub-Saharan Africa. [*]Brachial index, crural index, bi-iliac breadth, and body surface area to body mass (BSA/BM) were analyzed by region to test whether Upper Egyptians and Nubians possess a more tropical body plan compared to populations from the northern region of Egypt. These were compared to indices from archaeologically derived skeletons from various parts of the world (data from Holliday 1995).

[/b]Nevertheless, significant differences were found in morphology between both geographically-pooled and cemetery-specific temporal groups, indicating that some migration occurred along the Egyptian Nile Valley over the periods&time; studied. [/QUOTE]--Am J Phys Anthropol, 2007. Recent immigrants also can carry aDNA. For example an Nigerian immigrant in the U.S.A. carries aDNA. Guess which? [/QB][/QUOTE]
