[QUOTE]Originally posted by BrandonP: [QB] And, for the record, I don't even think the skulls classified as "Black" in the Ibiza study were pure SSA. More likely, they had a lot of ANA or similar ancestry that is neither Eurasian nor sub-Saharan. But our Frenchman here is convinced that a North African population can have enough "sub-Saharan" traits for FORDISC to confuse them for people with predominantly sub-Saharan ancestry while still being "Caucasoid" overall. I mean, if these were really "Caucasoids" with only a little "sub-Saharan" influence (like the individuals he wants to pass off as the real North Africans), does he really think the software would prefer an African-American to a European-American classification for them? Does he really think the pendulum would swing in an African-American direction if the sub-Saharan traits are at such a minimum? I mean, FORDISC, the very software used in the Ibiza study, is on record as misidentifying Kushite crania from Sudan as "White" or various other "non-Black" ethnicities, even though they likely had more sub-Saharan ancestry than modern coastal Maghrebis. It doesn't seem that the program is prone to classifying crania as "Black" due to the slightest expression of sub-Saharan-like traits.

I don't see how they refute the Ibiza study from 2005. In the end, both studies are essentially sorting crania into one of a few "racial" groups. The big difference is that Chamla probably didn't have a computer to do the sorting for him. [/QB][/QUOTE]
