Really? Source? • Article: Climate and anthropometric variations in Europe and the Mediterranean area. E Crognier [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Fourteen anthropometric measurements collected among 85 [b]European, North African and Middle Eastern populations [/b]have been studied with respect to eight climatic variables through zero-order correlations and multiple stepwise regressions. The average contribution of climate to the total variance of physical features between populations is 35%. The most important correlations of postcranial body measurements and nasal index are with the extremes of heat and dryness, while the head measurements are more sensitive to extremes of cold and moisture. [b]The overall results indicate that these populations follow the zoological rules of Bergmann and Allen.

If anyone's interested in taking a look, PM me your e-mail so I can send it to you. To give you a preview of the findings, here's a dendrogram showing similarities in limb proportions between the populations measured: [URL=http://s371.photobucket.com/user/brandonpilcher/media/b9bdb805-bd92-4544-9f56-0ba40133a41f_zpse13095c4.jpg.html] [IMG]http://i371.photobucket.com/albums/oo160/brandonpilcher/b9bdb805-bd92-4544-9f56-0ba40133a41f_zpse13095c4.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [/qb] Population Affinities of the Jebel Sahaba Skeletal Sample (Holliday 2013) Abstract The Lower Nubian Epipaleolithic site of Jebel Sahaba (Sudan) was discovered in 1962. From 1962–1966, a total of 58 intentionally-buried skeletons were uncovered at the site. Diagnostic microliths indicative of the Qadan industry as well as the site's geology suggest an age of 14–12 ka for these burials. In this study, the body proportions of the Jebel Sahaba sample are compared to those of a large (max N = 731) sample of recent human skeletons from Europe, Africa, and circumpolar North America, as well as to terminal Pleistocene “Iberomaurusian” skeletons from the Algerian sites of Afalou-Bou-Rhummel and the later Capsian-associated Ain Dokhara specimen, as well as Natufian skeletons from the southern Levantine site of El Wad.Bivariate analyses distinguish Jebel Sahaba from European and circumpolar samples, but do not tend to segregate them from recent North or sub-Saharan African samples. Multivariate analyses (PCA, PCO with minimum spanning tree, NJ cluster analyses) indicate that the body shape of the Jebel Sahaba humans is most similar to that of recent sub-Saharan Africans, and different from that of either the Levantine Natufians or the northwest African “Iberomaurusian” samples. Importantly, these results corroborate those of Irish (2000, 2005) and Franciscus (1995, 2003) who, using dental, oral, and nasal morphology, found that Jebel Sahaba was most similar to recent sub-Saharan Africans, and morphologically distinct from their penecontemporaries in other parts of North Africa or the groups that succeed them in Nubia. [/QUOTE]Look at the chart above Ain Dokhara is a later Capsian sample (North Africa) El Wad ( Natufian, Israel) Afalou (Mechta-Afalou) or Mechtoid are an extinct people of North Africa (Ibero-Maurusian culture). They were replaced by the Capisans As we can see on the dendogram the Afalou's cold adpated limb ratios are closer to Alaskans (Koniag and Ipiutak) and Europeans. The Afalou are at the extreme opposite from the Jebel Sahaba a 13K yo cemetary in Sudan who cluster with the more tropical Africans. The Afalou seem to be in between Alaskan and European limb proportions [/qb][/QUOTE]You forgot to post about the climatic changes in the Magreb and how the people lived in cave activities. For thousands of years. Next you'll claim the Afalou was Alaskan as well. :D [QUOTE] [...] Since the end of the extreme Saharan desiccation, lasting from before 25,000 years ago up to about 15,000 years ago, [b]the Sahara has had post- and pre- Holocene cyclical climatic changes (Street and Grove 1976), and corresponding increases and decreases in population are probable. [/b]Wetter phases with better habitats perhaps allowed for increased colonization and gene and cultural exchange. [/QUOTE]--Frigi et al., 2010 Ancient Local Evolution of African mtDNA Haplogroups in Tunisian Berber Populations [QUOTE]This work develops a hypothesis on the origin of a cultural complex which was established in the southwest quadrant of the Iberian Peninsula around the transition from the IV to III millennium BC*. The rupture observed between the cultural groups studied herein and those proceeding them in southern Iberia can also be explained by other mechanisms not migratory movements but important accelerations in the change of human behavior. In addition, the close similarities with other peri-Mediterranean cultures may be due to convergence phenomena. The diffusionist explanation that we are presenting has previously been put forward based only on archeological arguments (Escacena et al. 1988). If we recall again the hypothesis that accredits the cultural dispersion to population movements, it is in order to offer an understanding for other studies, above all, genetic and linguistic ones, that support these connections of the North African world with the Iberian Peninsula during the recent prehistoric period.

Escacena Carrasco Prehistoric Iberia 2000, pp 125-162 Applications of Evolutive Archeology: Migrations from Africa to Iberia in the Recent Prehistory [QUOTE] Lalueza-Fox states: "However, the biggest surprise was to discover that this individual possessed African versions in the genes that determine the light pigmentation of the current Europeans, which indicates that he had dark skin, although we can not know the exact shade."
