[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Troll Patrol: [*]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).

Note that the Nubians used in this study are thought by some to represent an immigrant population from Europe or Western Asia [see Holliday (1995)].[/i] - Holliday et al. (2009) [/QUOTE]I don't know about the European element but these Holliday articles are not corresponding to Raxter Holliday places Nubians with a less tropical body plan than Egyptians and Kermans on the other hand, with a more tropical body plan than Egyptians. Did he use the same Nubian data in 2013 that was in the 2009 article? I don't know ________________________________ - the Raxter quote also indicates: "these were compared to indices from archaeologically derived skeletons from various parts of the world (data from Holliday 1995)."
