[QUOTE]Originally posted by Punos_Rey: [QB] Ok. I see what this is, this is a semantic wordgame as far as what the word "Black" means which obviously changes depending on era and context. Yet I don't see how "melanchroes" is any different from the English usage of the word black as a term for dark skinned people with an origin in Africa or Oceania&Austrailia. Even if used in its most narrow dense for African-Americans who descend from the TAST it still covers a *range* of darker pigmentation from high yellow people (many of whom would actually place somewhere on the darker end of leukos) to people nearly pitch black. I'm personally an order of magnitude lighter complexioned than Queen Tiye yet people call me black without hesitation. Semantic word shenanigans like this are why I try and avoid using it in the first place. Also your saying that the AE's southernmost relations are to Sahara-Sahelian peoples is also nonsensical as genetic affinities especially with the people of Sudan, Ethiopia and the Horn is a *fact*. Also as has been stated the Nile operates as a highway for bidirectional gene flow, and there also used to be a tributary of the Nile, the Yellow Nile which flowed westward right into interior Africa. The AE also certainly encountered people resembling the "Tribal African" broad featured stereotype, and said types would've also been in Egypt, not just Northeast Africans.
