[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ish Gebor: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by JoshuaConnerMoon: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Elmaestro: [qb] I usually try not to get involved with these types off discussions but... [QUOTE] My argument though is the ancient Egyptians would match modern groups at their latitude at 50-60% such as Berber groups The Upper Egyptians would have been a darker brown though, but it doesn't approach 'black' until Sudan[/QUOTE]Based on what? [i]Maghrebs and amazigh share share major genes directly related to pigment with europeans btw.[/i] what are you basing any of this on? Latitude may play a role in skin color variation but it doesn't [i][b]determine[/b][/i] your skin color. The points are virtually baseless as for every tit, theirs a tat. ...and I know you know this already. [/qb][/QUOTE]I'm basing it on living non-Egyptian populations at the same latitude and these peoples closely resembled their ancestors in ancient times phenotypically, including skin colour. So why is it they virtually all score as a mean 50-60% on a reflectance spectroscopter (685 nm)? Why should ancient Egyptians be different? Egypt is the same latitude as Libya, Algeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, northern India, Nepal, and southern China. Populations at that latitude have 50-60% skin reflectance -- data is in Jablonski & Chaplin (2000). Algeria (Aures): 58.05 Libya (Cyrenaica): 53.50 China (Southern): 59.17 Nepal: 50.42 Pakistan: 54.24 India (Northern): 53.26 Saudi Arabia: 52.50 If I'm wrong, then someone would need to explain why Egyptians are a "special case" in reflectance spectroscopy. Furthermore, we have ancient accounts such as Strabo who likened the skin colour of the ancient Egyptians to northern Indians. [/qb][/QUOTE]Dumbass, it doesn't matter, the melanin dosage test tells what we are dealing with. "Determination of optimal rehydration, fixation and staining methods for histological and immunohistochemical analysis of mummified soft tissues" Don't ignore it, embrace it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
