[QUOTE]Originally posted by Amun-Ra The Ultimate: [QB] In fact, even the mainstream Oxford encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt had the same remark regarding the diversity of African physical type: [QUOTE]"Physical anthropologists are increasingly concluding that racial definitions are the culturally defined product of selective perception and should be replaced in biological terms by the study of populations and clines. Consequently, any characterization of race of the ancient Egyptians depend on modern cultural definitions, not on scientific study. [b]Thus, by modern American standards it is reasonable to characterize the Egyptians as 'blacks' while acknowledging the scientific evidence for the physical diversity of Africans [/b] ."
