[QUOTE]Originally posted by Amun-Ra The Ultimate: [QB] What is important to understand from scientific studies is that African people and Ancient Egyptians don't just share a common skin color or geographical location, but they share a common origin, history, archaeological continuity, culture, language, religion, etc. [b] So I don't find it surprising that people like Tukuler, Swenet, Djehuti, etc (who are not even black Africans btw, they are undercover racists) prefer to talk only about skin color or geography. [/b] For example, most Cushitic, Chadic and Niger-Congo speakers are carrier of the E-P2/PN2 Y-DNA haplogroup, and thus share a common origin (after the OOA). At that time, they spoke one common language. The language spoken by their common E-P2 ancestor (maybe Obenga's Negro-Egyptian). Here below we can see most African languages like Yoruba, Somali, Afar, Dogon, Wolof, Zulu, Dinka, etc have their common origin in the same region in (north) Eastern Africa (post dating the OOA migration of non-Africans of course): [IMG]http://www.ephotobay.com/image/geo-origin-of-african-languages-chap-12-reconstr.jpg[/IMG] [i]Reconstructing Ancient Kinship in Africa by Christopher Ehret (From Early Human Kinship, Chap 12)[/i] There also have been a lot of admixture between African population throughout history. We can also see it genetically (autosomal DNA): [IMG]http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y421/amunratheultimate2/Misc/GeneticDistancebetweenAfricanandWorldpopulationsTishkoff_zps9a40f909.jpg[/IMG] - From The Genetic Structure and History of Africans and African Americans (2009) [URL=http://www.ephotobay.com/image/genetic-distance-between-african-and-world-popul.jpg]Link to bigger and clearer image[/URL] From the graph above for example, you can see Yoruba are much closer genetically to lets say Kikuyu than Palestinians or Basque. My contentious is that Ancient Egyptians in general would be closer to African populations than to non-African populations, especially at the formative stage (because there's been a lot of invasions and immigration afterwards even in dynastic time). This is supported by some mainstream sources too: [QUOTE]Any interpretation of the biological affinities of the ancient Egyptians must be placed in the context of hypothesis informed by the archaeological, linguistic, geographic or other data. In this context the [b]physical anthropological evidence [/b]indicates that the early Nile Valley populations can be identified as part of an [b]African lineage[/b], but exhibiting local variation. This variation represents the short and long term effects of evolutionary forces, such as gene flow, genetic drift, and natural selection influenced by culture and geography. -From [i]Encyclopedia of the Archaeology of Ancient Egypt (1999) pp 328-332[/i] [/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
