[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ish Gebor: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Ish Gebor: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [qb] ^^^ There he is doing it again, quoting other people as if the words are his Other posters don't do this. They write a statement themselves themselves below it use supporting quotes. Often you can't tell the point that Ish Gebor is trying to make because sometimes the quotes he uses don't fit perfectly into the conversation, often they are way off on a tangent. I guess that is just his love of copy and pastes. Each quote he has he has posted at least 18,000 times [/qb][/QUOTE]I am posting other people as if those are my words? 😩 [/qb][/QUOTE]yeah, now you've got it you post quotes with no explanation as if the authors are your reps but "indeed partially what I meant for many years." [/qb][/QUOTE]I have posted them 18,000 times before. By now you should understand them. It is plain English after all. [QUOTE] [b]Cranial and dental evidence then tends to support a scenario of biological continuity in Egypt.[/b] [...] The main skeletal sample consisted of 492 males and 528 females, all adults from the Predynastic and Dynastic Periods, a time spanning c. 5500 BCE-600 CE. Egyptian body dimensions were compared to Nubian groups, as well as to modern Egyptians and other higher and lower latitude populations. [b]The present study found a downward trend in ancient Egyptian stature for both sexes through time, as well as decreased sexual dimorphism in stature.[/b] The decreases may be associated with dietary and social stress with the intensification of agriculture and increased societal complexity. [b]Modern Egyptians in the study’s sample[/b] are generally taller and heavier than their predecessors; however, modern Egyptians exhibit relatively lower sexual dimorphism in stature. [b]Ancient Egyptians have more tropically adapted limbs in comparison to body breadths, which tend to be intermediate when plotted against higher and lower latitude populations. [/b] These results may reflect the greater plasticity of limb lengths compared to body breadth. The results might also suggest early Mediterranean and/or Near Eastern influence in Northeast Africa. [/QUOTE]-- Michelle H. Raxter (2011) Egyptian Body Size: A Regional and Worldwide Comparison What it says is that modern incoming populations from abroad may have influenced the body ratio. This so, especially in the North/ Lower Egypt. Since there was a trend of difference over time. Historically this is accurate. 27%. non-African. [/QB][/QUOTE]
