[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ish Gebor: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by JoshuaConnerMoon: [qb]If your position is clines and you realize clustering is arbitrary (doubtful since your earlier posts contradict this), why are you [i]still[/i] positing a pan-African grouping? The answer is you're a black nationalist/pan-Africanist and your pan-African group lumps Egyptians with all populations in Sub-Sahara Africa - to fit your political interests. In contrast I'm not proposing any sort of pan/continental grouping for Egyptians (not with Europeans, or anyone); I've also criticized too broad geographical labels (as has Brace et al) i.e. if you arbitrarily cluster too many populations over a wide area of space, heterogeneity is maximized and so it is not useful to any analysis. While all clustering is arbitrary, some groupings are obviously more useful than others. [/qb][/QUOTE]You have nothing relevant to offer. You keep posting Brace? :D smh You live in this world of alternative facts. A delusions fantasy. [QUOTE][b]"This finding is in agreement with morphological data that suggest that populations with sub-Saharan morphological elements were present in northeastern Africa, [/b]from the Paleolithic to at least the early Holocene, and diffused northward to the Levant and Anatolia beginning in the Mesolithic. [...] [b]This affinity pattern between ancient Egyptians and sub-Saharans has also been noticed by several other investigators (Angel 1972; Berry and Berry 1967, 1972; Keita 1995) and has been recently reinforced by the study of Brace et al. (2005), which clearly shows that the cranial morphology of prehistoric and recent northeast African populations is linked to sub-Saharan populations (Niger-Congo populations). These results support the hypothesis that some of the Paleolithic–early Holocene populations from northeast Africa were probably descendents of sub-Saharan ancestral populations."[/b][/QUOTE]--F X Ricaut · M Waelkens Article: Cranial Discrete Traits in a Byzantine Population and Eastern Mediterranean Population Movements Human Biology 11/2008; 80(5):535-64. DOI:10.3378/1534-6617-80.5.535 · 1.52 Impact Factor http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19341322 [QUOTE]Originally posted by Charlie_Bass I recently e-mailed Dr. Brace about the biological affinities of East Africans, particularly peoples of the Upper Nile and Horn and this is his reply. I will forward the e-mail to Ausar to authenticate it. Here is is reply: "As I see it, the appearances of the Upper Nile Valley and Horn people has little if anything to do with admixtures and much the result of in situ circumstances. The elongation of the nose is clearly a climate-induced phenomenon and takes a long time to manifest itself. The same thing is true for the reduction in tooth size which markedly distinguishes those people form the Niger-Congo people. One has to suggest that Vavilov's identification of that as one of the early areas of crop domestication would have meant that food preparation techniques reducing the pressures for mastication had been operating there for a long time, and tooth size reduction in situ would be one of the expected consequences. Hope this helps, C. L. Brace [/QUOTE] http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/Forum8/HTML/002506.html [QUOTE]I would suggest that there are very few who, of their own experience, have actually perceived at first hand the nature of human variation. What we know of the characteristics of the various regions of the world we have largely gained vicariously and in misleadingly spotty fashion. Pictures and the television camera tell us that the people of Oslo in Norway, Cairo in Egypt, and Nairobi in Kenya look very different. And when we actually meet natives of those separate places, which can indeed happen, we can see representations of those differences at first hand. But if one were to walk up beside the Nile from Cairo, across the Tropic of Cancer to Khartoum in the Sudan and on to Nairobi, there would be no visible boundary between one people and another. The same thing would be true if one were to walk north from Cairo, through the Caucasus, and on up into Russia, eventually swinging west across the northern end of the Baltic Sea to Scandinavia. The people at any adjacent stops along the way look like one another more than they look like anyone else since, after all, they are related to one another. As a rule, the boy marries the girl next door throughout the whole world, but next door goes on without stop from one region to another. [/QUOTE]--C. L.
