[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass/: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by -Just Call Me Jari-: [qb] If you think the Average Modern Egyptian, let alone Ancient Egyptian looks like Gerard Butler then you are as deluded as the hardcore Afrocentrists. What gets me is people like you will spam "We Wuz Kangs" when a Carthagenian is portrayed by an African American(ignoring the fact that Carthage had Tropical Africans or so called Negros as you call them living in Carthage) but stay quiet when a European portrays and Afro-Asiatic god. Hypocrisy knows no bounds. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass/: [qb] [QUOTE] Also not sure what the fuss was about Gods of Egypt. They actually tried to darken the white actors by giving them tans or a light bronzy complexion. Gerard Butler as Egyptian god Set [IMG]http://www.dvdizzy.com/images/g/godsofegypt-01.jpg[/IMG] [/qb][/QUOTE][/qb][/QUOTE]European populations are closer craniometrically [i.e genetically] than west/central sub-Saharan Africans ("Negroids) to ancient Egyptians though, so I don't see the hypocrisy. Observe Maghreb are also far closer to Europeans, than "Negroids": [IMG]http://i40.tinypic.com/2eexzc9.jpg[/IMG] Are Egyptians "Caucasoid". No. But they're a lot closer phenotypically to "Caucasoids" (West Eurasians) than "Negroids", best explained by geographical distance. Old physical anthropologists had Egyptians as a "Caucasoid-Negroid" (or "Capoid") blend with "Caucasoid" predominating, e.g. in most old anthropology literature Egyptians were 7/8 to 3/4 Caucasoid, while north Sudanese 1/2 Caucasoid and Horn Africans between 1/3 and 1/4 Caucasoid. I just re-interpret this now in a clinal context since I also take into account genetic drift and selection([i]in situ[/i] mechanisms), not just gene flow, so I don't have to explain things in terms of large scale admixture. The old race typology models were far too simplistic and did not know genetic drift or selection because they predated the modern evolutionary synthesis: "...changes were, however, not only the results of migrations, but also of genetical developmental processes (e.g. selective adaptation, random genetic drift etc.)" - Strouhal, E. (1981). Current state of anthropological studies on ancient Egypt and Nubia. Bull, et Mem. de la Soc. d'Anthrop. de Paris. 8(XIII): 231-249 http://www.persee.fr/doc/bmsap_0037-8984_1981_num_8_3_3825 [/QB][/QUOTE]
