[QUOTE]Originally posted by beyoku: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by JoshuaConnerMoon: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by beyoku: The Ju Hoan khoisan skin tone is generally "Light" compared to Other Sub Saharan Africans. It has a golden tone that is VERY typical.[/QUOTE]Khoisan tribes score 40-50% on a reflectance spectroscopter (685 nm), but yes, they are lighter skinned than other Sub-Saharan groups who fall between 20-40%. My argument though is the ancient Egyptians would match modern groups at their latitude at 50-60% such as Berber groups, while Europeans are 60-70% and are obviously lighter skinned than ancient Egyptians. The Upper Egyptians would have been a darker brown though, but it doesn't approach 'black' until Sudan: "On the average, between the Delta in northern Egypt and the Sudan of the Upper Nile, skin color tends to darken from light brown to what appears to the eye as bluish black." - Trigger, B. [1978]. “Nubian, Negro, Black, Nilotic?”. Wenig, Steffen (ed.). In: Africa in Antiquity: The Arts of Ancient Nubia and the Sudan. Brooklyn Museum, New York. [/qb][/QUOTE]You have to do some critical thinking and BE CONSISTENT: How are you DEFINING Black? As an African American NOT of full African Ancestry Am I Black? Are those Khoisan "Black" ? [URL=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/16/8d/ae/168dae91e164aa8640c1c770fc29bb72.jpg]These Guys (Egyptians) are Darker than me.[/URL] [IMG]http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3616/3450039395_3c7276a783_b.jpg[/IMG] "The Upper Egyptians would have been a darker brown though," No, the Lower Egyptians would be been lighter. The Upper Egyptians formed the based on the people in the Region and should be used as the aboriginal yardstick. Now you DO KNOW that the VAST majority of the population in ancient times lived in the Southern Part of the country? In all these years of Euroclowness, Yall can never define "Black" in a way that Excludes Egyptians while at the same time being consistent when dealing with other populations in Africa. Your definition is always something you made up Yourself...and is quite plastic. Sometimes its based on features, sometimes not...sometimes is location...some times not. Sometimes skin tone and ancestry, sometimes not....yall just keep changing the goal post because in yall mind you KNOW its quite hard to remove a population from a description that is mostly based on two things : Skin color and location.
