[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ish Gebor: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass/: [qb] The only populations that are closely related to ancient Egyptians (including modern Egyptians of course) are their geographical neighbours. So that excludes Sub-Saharan Africans. Give it up. Even the intellectual blacks posters on this forum stay away from the "Egypt = SSA" theory. The people still trying to connect Egypt to SSA's are pan-Africanists - a political ideology, not science. Again, the intellectual black posters here also realise this. [/qb][/QUOTE]You tell people to give up on something you believe? You still have not explained yourself here: [QUOTE] [b]Morphological variation of the skeletal remains of ancient Nubia has been traditionally explained as a product of multiple migrations into the Nile Valley. In contrast, various researchers have noted a continuity in craniofacial variation from Mesolithic through Neolithic times. [/b] This apparent continuity could be explained by in situ cultural evolution producing shifts in selective pressures which may act on teeth, the facial complex, and the cranial vault. A series of 13 Mesolithic skulls from Wadi Halfa, Sudan, are compared to Nubian Neolithic remains by means of extended canonical analysis. Results support recent research which suggests consistent [b]trends of facial reduction and cranial vault expansion from Mesolithic through Neolithic times.[/QUOTE]--Meredith F. Small* et al. The nubian mesolithic: A consideration of the Wadi Halfa remains [QUOTE]“Pleistocene through to the Christian periods, reveals a break in population continuity between the Pleistocene (Jebel Sahaba) and the Final Neolithic (Gebel Ramlah, dating to the first half of the fifth millennium BC) samples. The dental traits from Jebel Sahaba align more closely with modern sub-Saharan populations, while Gebel Ramlah and later align closer to Egypt specifically and to the Sahara in general.” [/QUOTE]--Michael Brass Reconsidering the emergence of social complexity in early Saharan pastoral societies, 5000 – 2500 B.C. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3786551/ [/QB][/QUOTE]
