[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ish Gebor: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass/: [qb] Here's the problem with Jebel Sahaba- [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/qx5D9rb.png[/IMG] "Jebel Sahaba (JSA) is widely divergent from the 13 samples... The other early sample in this study, [b]pre-Mesolithic al Khiday, is positioned, however, within the cluster of Neolithic (GRM) and later Nubians[/b]." (Irish, 2016 "Additional insight into post-Pleistocene Nubian population history".) So its not the case late Pleistocene and Mesolithic Nubians uniformly had large teeth (macrodonty) like Sub-Saharan Africans; Jebel Sahaba is a special case/anomaly, since the other skulls from late Pleistocene sites in north and central Sudan have small teeth (microdonty). [/qb][/QUOTE]I don't see the "problem". http://www.oxfordhandbooks.com/view/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199935413.001.0001/oxfordhb-9780199935413-e-56-graphic-001-full.gif There were different intrusions (ethnic groups), with some as out-layers, however still cluster within the main dataset, hence the reference by Kathryn A. Bard. [QUOTE] At El Barga cemetery, individuals were buried in a flexed position, mostly (43%) with the head in the NW quadrant. They are quite robust and show affinities with other populations we know of from the Nile valley, such as those of Jebel Sahaba and Wadi Halfa (Wendorf 1968; Croevecour 2012).[/QUOTE]—Donatella Usai A Picture of Prehistoric Sudan: The Mesolithic and Neolithic Periods DOI: 10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199935413.013.56 [QUOTE] Predynastic (pre-unification) adult teeth and found an incidence of caries of 2.3%. Grilletto26 found 6.14% of Predynastic teeth affected by caries, but only 4.65% of Dynastic teeth. [b]This reduction, he suggested, was caused by improving environmental conditions in the Dynastic period,[/b] but equally so could have been due to settlement selection or methodology in sampling.
