[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ish Gebor: [QB] [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]Goodgrief, CLOWN. What you keep iterating has long been debunked, YOU RETARD!!!!! [QUOTE] The Egypt, Nubia and Africa (‘Ethiopic’) groups form a cluster at some distance from others. But although the Africa (“Negroid”)’ group is placed next to the ‘Canary Islands (pre-Spanish)’ group, the substantial difference between them is indicated by how far one has to travel to the right along the branches of the dendrogram before meeting a linkage line. Indeed, the bottom two Africa’ groups could more reasonably (and without violating the overall arrangement) be rotated to the top of the diagram.[b] If a three-dimensional display were to be adopted this oddity would be lost.[/b] After F.W.Rösing, Qubbet el Hawa und Elephantine; zur Bevölkerungsgeschichte von Ägypten, Stuttgart and New York, 1990, 209, Abb. 134. Left (a). Similar dendrogram (from the CRANID program) which places Egypt amidst populations from the main world regions. In contrast to the previous diagram, Egypt is represented by only a single cemetery, that of the Late Period at Giza. The other dendrograms (especially those of Figure 17, pp. 56, 57) question how representative of ancient Egypt the Giza group is. After New Scientist, 23 February 2002, 23. [/QUOTE]—Barry Kemp Ancient Egypt: Anatomy of a Civilization But he explains: [QUOTE] "..sample populations available from northern Egypt from before the 1st Dynasty (Merimda, Maadi and Wadi Digla) turn out to be significantly different from sample populations from early Palestine and Byblos, suggesting a lack of common ancestors over a long time. If there was a south-north cline variation along the Nile valley it did not, from this limited evidence, continue smoothly on into southern Palestine. The limb-length proportions of males from the Egyptian sites group them with Africans rather than with Europeans." [/QUOTE]—Barry Kemp, Ancient Egypt Anatomy of a Civilisation, Routledge. (2006) (p. 52-60) [QUOTE] "When the Elephantine results were added to a broader pooling of the physical characteristics drawn from a wide geographic region which includes Africa, the Mediterranean and the Near East quite strong affinities emerge between Elephantine and populations from Nubia, supporting a strong south-north cline.
