[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass/: [QB] I will at some point do a thread on Multiregionalism [i]in[/i] Africa; that will apply to its two peripheries: the extreme south and north. In the inhabited north (the Maghreb coast/Morocco, and to a lesser extent the northern Sahara), e.g. "Nonetheless, the clear association between the Holocene and Middle/Late Pleistocene specimens in Northwest Africa is thought provoking. Over 200,000 years separate the Late. H. erectus from Morocco and the Ibermaruusians from Taforalt. Yet, the statistical results demonstrate that these specimens are closely associated." (Pinhasi, 2002) What I also see in the Upper Palaeolithic Egyptians (as north Saharans) is regional morphological continuity, e.g. Brauer & Rimbach (1991) in their craniofacial analysis of Nazlet Khater, but using 8 measurements, have it "within the 90% ellipse of the North Africa [Sahara] group", not European, or Sub-Saharan African, although closer to the latter than the former (the reverse for its inner ear structure: "the similarities between NK 2 and the Upper Paleolithic [European] sample, suggested by the discriminant analysis, may indicate a close relationship between this Nile Valley specimen and European Upper Paleolithic modern humans." http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S004724840800242X This mosaic pattern is consistent with living North Africans plotting intermediate between Europeans and Sub-Saharan African populations.
