[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: As I've always said, there is NOTHING to indicate that the Oranian/Iberomarusian culture originated from anywhere else but Africa[/QUOTE]What about the fact that their mtDNA was haplogroup H and limb proportions similar to arctic peoples? [/qb][/QUOTE]Read my previous posts, you dolt. Just because individuals found in the [i]late[/i] phases of the culture show European affinities does not make these individuals the founders of that culture! There are Natufians that show cold adapted traits with European like cranial features but that does not meany they are representative of the founders of the culture let alone represent all Natufians some of whom show tropically adapted African traits. [i]The extremely large skeletal samples that come from sites such as Taforalt (Fig. 8.13) and Afalou constitute an invaluable resource for understanding the makers of Iberomaurusian artifacts, and their number is unparalleled elsewhere in Africa for the early Holocene. [b]Frequently termed Mechta-Afalou or Mechtoid, these were a skeletally robust people and definitely African in origin[/b], though attempts, such as those of Ferembach (1985), to establish similarities with much older and rarer Aterian skeletal remains are tenuous given the immense temporal separation between the two (Close and Wendorf 1990). At the opposite end of the chronological spectrum, [b]dental morphology does suggest connections with later Africans, including those responsible for the Capsian Industry (Irish 2000) and early mid-Holocene human remains from the western half of the Sahara (Dutour 1989), something that points to the Maghreb as one of the regions from which people recolonised the desert (MacDonald 1998).[/b] Turning to what can be learned about cultural practices and disease, the individuals from Taforalt, the largest sample by far, display little evidence of trauma, though they do suggest a high incidence of infant mortality, with evidence for dental caries, arthritis, and rheumatism among other degenerative conditions. Interestingly, Taforalt also provides one of the oldest known instances of the practice of trepanation, the surgical removal of a portion of the cranium; the patient evidently survived for some time, as there are signs of bone regrowth in the affected area. [b]Another form of body modification was much more widespread and, indeed, a distinctive feature of the Iberomaurusian skeletal sample as a whole. This was the practice of removing two or more of the upper incisors, usually around puberty and from both males and females, something that probably served as both a rite of passage and an ethnic marker (Close and Wendorf 1990), just as it does in parts of sub-Saharan Africa today (e.g., van Reenen 1987).[/b] Cranial and postcranial malformations are also apparent and may indicate pronounced endogamy at a much more localised level (Hadjouis 2002), perhaps supported by the degree of variability between different site samples noted by Irish (2000).[/i] --Lawrence Barham [i]The First Africans: African Archaeology from the Earliest Toolmakers to Most Recent Foragers (Cambridge World Archaeology)[/i] I thought all of this was explained to you [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=008301;p=1]before[/URL], but of course you conveniently forget info that doesn't agree with your agenda. ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
