[QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by .Charlie Bass.: [qb] Persaonally, i don't see how quoting Strouhal or Brace is helping anyone's arguments because when you read their methods and especially the motivations of Brace Ais obvious that the latter fudged his data to prove AEs were not black and used a strawman that when people say AEs were black they MUST have looked like West Africans. No one ever said that so why even quote that study? [/qb][/QUOTE]Indeed Bass. It opens the way for Amun-Ra to argue that he is fighting against a distorted picture of Africans in the Nile Valley. Strouhal 1971 is woefully obsolete, and uses a "true negro" approach so that all not meeting that stereotype can be labeled as something else. Brace 1993 is OK as far as its narrow statistical procedures but contains several weaknesses in sampling and in other matters. All these things have long been noted on ES. [IMG]http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/429/keitafarmerselbadari.jpg[/IMG] On top of that, scholars in Egyptian studies have often excluded or lumped "negroid" samples together with something else, Keita notes, which downplays or distorts the full picture of African elements in the data. [i]"Analyses of Egyptian crania are numerous. Vercoutter (1978) notes that ancient Egyptian crania have frequently all been lumped (implicitly or explicitly) as Mediterranean, although Negroid remains are recorded in substantial numbers by many workers... "Nutter (1958), using the Penrose statistic, demonstrated that Nagada I and Badari crania, both regarded as Negroid, were almost identical and that these were most similar to the Negroid Nubian series from Kerma studied by Collett (1933). [Collett, not accepting variability, excluded "clear negro" crania found in the Kerma series from her analysis, as did Morant (1925), implying that they were foreign..." [/i] --(S.
