[QUOTE]Originally posted by Oshun: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass/: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Oshun: [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. [/qb][/QUOTE]So basically: [IMG]https://anonimag.es/i/distancef1066.png[/IMG] What is "closest related" and what is "related enough" is going to be different and subjective. Ancient southern Egypt, regions east of the Nile and northern Sudan were at the time part of "SSA." There was little to no "distance" from southern Egypt and people south of the Sahara because southern Egypt and Northern Sudan hadn't fully become deserts. You will need to come up with some other label to divide Africa because you're applying modern geographical concepts to ancient people and land. There's nothing to "give up." I didn't make that map. Also SSA in spite of how utterly big it is accepted as a region by the same dumb@ss using the label. It is fine to insist they are a group of related people. Oh pay no mind how much genetic diversity SSA contains or IT'S size. But nono they [b]cannot[/b] apply the same concepts north. Even by modern terms you fools keep insisting that the coasts of southern Africa to the Sahel aren't too much distance to classify Africans as one monolithic group. But even modern Egypt to say the Sahel is just TEW FAR! [/qb][/QUOTE]SSA's are not a monolithic group. As I explained to you countless times, these geographical labels/divides are arbitrary, as long as they provide useful for analysis. SSA is used relative to the Sahara/North Africa; [/qb][/QUOTE]You say SSA are not monolithic but group them together as though this would be legitimate to do under your distance claims. Yes it's arbritrary, but you've insisted limitations on the arbitrary grouping of Africans because of "distance." Why is SSA "useful for analysis" if populations that should be considered "close enough" need to be of some arbitrary distances you've insisted cannot be farther than Egypt to the Sahel? In what world is the distance from the Sahel to the coasts of Southern Africa shorter than Egypt to the Sahel? [/QB][/QUOTE]
