[QUOTE]Originally posted by Troll Patrol # Ish Gebor: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [qb] Roundup: if we were to go by limb ratios the ancient Egyptians were closest to the Khosians followed by Southern Europeans So we can see how the limb ratio data doesn't reveal much [/qb][/QUOTE]Actually its only SOME LOWER EGYPTIAN FEMALES. And: (a) Khosians are sub-Saharan Africans living often in cool Medit climes though they move in and out of other zones at will, (b) females sometimes show more variability in crural index even in cold climate populations. So more female variation in the Lower Egypt is nothing special. And your attempted minimization of limb data still falls flat. Overall results still stand- the primary affinity is with African peoples. Raxter notes this bottom line- no amount of obfuscation will change it: [i]"Ancient Egyptians and Nubians of both sexes are consistently significantly different in limb length proportions from Northern and Southern Europeans, with their brachial and crural indices grouping with the majority of other Africans. " [/i] --Raxter 2011. Sorry, it is, what it is. [/QUOTE]No need to be sorry, here is more of what it is, I don't know why you keep cutting out the end of the paragraph [i]"Ancient Egyptians and Nubians of both sexes are consistently significantly different in limb length proportions from Northern and Southern Europeans, with their brachial and crural indices grouping with the majority of other Africans. One group Lower Egyptian males, is only significantly different from Northern Europeans in crural index. However, this is expected since they are situated in the northernmost area of Northeast Africa, closest to the Mediterranean Sea, and thus would have had the greatest opportunity for gene flow with Southern Europeans." [/i] --Raxter 2011 no amount of deleting the end of the paragraph will change it However, it doesn't matter what the opinion in the text says we have the raw data The raw data says the Lower ancient Egyptian limb ratios were closer to Khoisans and Southern Europeans than they were to other Africans So don't worry about what the researcher says just put all the table 28 data in your next graphic As for female lower Egyptians, their limb ratios were nearly the same as female Southen Europeans, 83.5 vs 83.3 Think about that [/qb][/QUOTE]Semantically speaking Lower Egypt, North Africa is indeed obviously close to the Mediterranean sea. To me it's not surprising the that Lower Egyptians and Khosians are closest. Since the Khosians also live in a region with similar temperature range. We came to this conclusion years ago. I also wonder what happened to the "African female slave trade" taken to the Mediterranean, theory? Does it not suite now?
