[QUOTE]Originally posted by Candice Lynn Potter: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by sudaniya: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Punos_Rey: [qb] Why are we ceding Lower Egypt to this guy??? The Lower Egyptians were just as indigenous and less tropically adapted than the Upper Egyptians/Sudanese but STILL reflected an African origin. There is no reason to suppose they were Caucasian or less African and they are one of the best testaments to how thoroughly admixed Modern Egypt is compared to AE. [/qb][/QUOTE]You are right of course, and this is precisely why I have continously provided citations re-affirming that Lower Egyptians were indigenous Africans and that there is no evidence of a mass migration of "Eurasians" into Lower Egypt before the Roman period. I have repeatedly made it clear that even *if* one were to concede that Lower Egyptians were biracial, they would still be considered black using western standards. I emphasise Upper Egypt to hammer home the point that ancient Egypt has its beginning in the South and that the opposition has thus lost the contest before the debate has even begun. I like playing with them. :D [/qb][/QUOTE]I'm not arguing ancient Lower Egyptians were significantly mixed. What I am saying is since there was gene flow (restricted/small scale but recurrent), there is a smooth gradient/cline running from south levant > lower Egypt > upper Egypt > lower Nubia > Upper Nubia. For your theory to work you would have to be some discontinuity or steepness in the cline from the south levant > lower Egypt. I dispute this position, for example craniometric studies have Sedment and Gizeh samples showing south levant ties. ALso this has been my position now since 2013. The fact you think I don't change my views shows you don't know me, I constantly amend/change/modify or even retract former views in light of new evidence, or more often the case I get a better understanding of the subject. Take into consideration when I joined this forum in 2010 I was still a teenager. I've recently just turned 26. The early years I was here I had no understanding of these topics, not even population genetics. I didn't even know what evolution was or how it worked. I change my views all the time, most recently my work on Plato's Atlantis. http://shimajournal.org/issues/v10n2/d.-Smith-Shima-v10n2.pdf "It should be noted that the author of this article formerly proposed a historical site for Atlantis in Greece (Smith, 2013). He no longer defends his earlier fringe hypothesis and since 2015 has argued the Atlantis story is fiction, with no underlying basis in history." I changed my view within two years in two published studies. If there is more genetic data on modern Egyptians and their % of admixture, I would change my views in light of this straight a way. Perhaps you missed the fact pre-2013 I argued for Hamitism, but post-2013 do not. I now argue ancient Egyptian civilization was indigenous. [/QB][/QUOTE]
