If some of the prominent dynastic Egyptians were 25% Eurasian would it bother you?

I have seen Fijians in the flesh and I recently watched the World Rugby Championship played in Britain so I was able to see them over a long period--especially when they played South Africa which has some black players on its team. The Fijians were [b] indistinguishable[/b] from the black South African players. Same fast and vigourous style of running, same African physiognomy emphasised by that specific African phenotypical marker--[b] the tightly curled hair type[/b]. [/QUOTE]Physical anthologists measure skeletons and skulls with measuring devices. Watching a soccer game is not enough [QUOTE]Originally posted by lamin: Thus African populations that have remained in similar ecologies and environments have retained very similar physiognomical traits. In that regard Fijans belong to the "grand African population cline", technically [i] Homo Sapiens Africanus [/i] [/QUOTE]If you put the word "grand" next to "African population cline"" it doesn't make it a valid anthropological term. This talk about Fijansis off topic. Many Fijians could be said to have an African morphology, yes you are right, others have some Australian proportions, which is similar but with some differences. However their genetics are largely different The thread topic question is [b]if Tutankhamun's DNA turned out to be 20-25% non-African would it bother you? [/b] That's a hypothetical question and I think hypothetical questions can be valid. I'm not saying Tutankhamun is 25% non-African he might be 100% African but what if he turns out to be 25% non-African? If this is the case and the time period is 3,000 years ago or more recently, up to Tut's birthrate then such admixture more likely have come from the land route across Sinai. If this is the case it could be foreigners coming in from the Levant. And such types were noted and depicted in art by the Egyptians. [QUOTE]Originally posted by lamin: The African phenotype does range over a spectrum--even within restricted populations except with one general exception. The hair form. And even with exceptional cases the hair form never approaches the structure of the Eurasian or East Asian hair forms. [/QUOTE]There are quite a few prominent mummies from dynastic and pre-dynastic Egypt and Nubia that have wavy straight hair similar to some Eurasians. Some argue this is indigenous to Africa others don't. [/QB][/QUOTE]
