[QUOTE]Originally posted by tropicals redacted: [QB] @amun-ra [QUOTE] [b]She already answered you. That's my point. So, you don't have to ask the same question twice and expect a different answer. You're the one who must explain how it is not relevant or simply move on. [/b] [/QUOTE]You'll have noticed that she didn't come back... You don't have a point, since I wasn't talking about limb lengths - as you both realised. You both saw the words "Somali" and "elongated" and misunderstood what was being discussed. However, you still persisted in trying to recover by trying to get me to switch to addressing the importance of limb lengths. This was fun though: [b]"So you have a question about the population affinities of Ancient Egyptian populations and you don't think post-cranial measurements are relevant ? Please explain."[/b]. I didn't say anything about the Egyptians being Somalis, and neither did Keita. I quoted his use of the term "Somali-like", which he uses to illustrate the idea of facially "elongated" Africans, and not in reference to limb lengths. What I was specifically discussing with Cass was, in the context of their appearance, what SSA population cranio-facial characteristics would Egyptians they have - would they be "Somali-like", "elongated". Here's the Keita quote and youtube link: "In general, I would make the argument that many of the mummies from Egypt, Upper Egypt have a general set of facial characteristics, which can be called elongated African. They are Somali-[b]like[/b], they are, they come from, because they are descendants of people from a hot, dry climate, they have this sort of [b]elongated face[/b] , that one sees in some living Africans. One could also note that the limb ratios, the limb proportions of Egyptians are tropical, they have a tropical body plan, they do not have a northern European body plan, or a Siberian body plan, they do have a tropical body plan. Generally, you see people with narrow faces and noses in Africa in the circum-Saharan regions, or in the Sahara, bordering the Sahara. That's generally where you see them. In the deep forest belts, you see people with other kinds of physical traits, they tend to have a broader face." (starts at 2 mins 14 secs) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6a79_WyK79A [/QB][/QUOTE]
