[QUOTE]Originally posted by Punos_Rey: [QB] You have plenty of Africans today who claim descent from Arabs, Jews, Persians etc. No different from Ancient Greeks who claimed descent from Herakles or any other legendary/esteemed figure or group of people. A claim does not a fact make. Also, one can be an Arab "culturally" without being Semitic in origin at all. As such you have numerous black Africans referred to as "Arabs" even today due to living in Arab countries. But you actually do know this yet are trying all types of circus acts to get around it. Btw going back to your prancing of Hamiticisim I'm surprised (not really) that you danced around OTHER anthropologists who were fans of the Hamitic Hypotheses like Giuseppe Sergi...I wonder why? [QUOTE] Later scholars expanded on these ideas; the most influential was the Italian race theorist Giuseppe Sergi. In his book The Mediterranean Race (1901) Sergi argued that there was a distinct Hamitic racial group which could be divided into two sub-groups: the northern Hamites, which comprised Berbers, Toubou, Fulani and the Guanches; the Eastern branch, which comprised Egyptians, Nubians, Ethiopians, Oromo, Somali, and Tutsis. Some of these groups had "lost their language" and so had to be identified by physical characteristics. In Sergi's theory, the Mediterraneans were the "greatest race in the world", and had expanded north and south from the Horn of Africa, creating superior civilizations.Sergi described the original European peoples as "Eurafricans". The ancient Greeks and Italians were born from "Afro-Mediterraneans" who migrated from western Asia and had originally spoken a Hamitic language before the advent of Indo-European languages[/QUOTE] http://self.gutenberg.org/articles/eng/Hamitic_hypothesis Still a bunk theory but if we're going to talk about it we should be honest about all its facets. :rolleyes: [/QB][/QUOTE]
