[QUOTE]Originally posted by Oshun: [QB] Essentially. Aborigines would not be representative of the group that founded modern (mainstream) Australian civilization. Native Americans would not be representative of who formed modern (mainstream) American civilizations. These indigenous groups were usurped by people that came to live alongside them and they were forced to eventually live within dominant European cultures. Even if after hundreds or thousands more years descendants in certain areas were to have diffused phenotype/genotype that varied between the two groups (e.g many modern Latinos), those with affinities to one group ("white" Latinos) would be more representative of those that were in the dominant culture. It's not a completely analogous situation. Northern Egyptians always had access to southern Egypt in addition to the Levant so there was always a continuity and spectrum of that connected them I would imagine. Still, your general point of the significance of the south still stands as far as I can tell. If Southern Egyptians samples were genotypically very different from Northern Sudanese and were Levanite instead, that'd go against linguistics and archeology that suggests development of the state didn't come from incoming Levanites, no matter how they influenced the North. The archeological evidence places the formation of the culture that'd give birth to Egypt in Northern Sudan. Over the course of many years the evidence points to an upward momentum taking place, as well as a general sense of continued contact between Egypt and Sudan. [/QB][/QUOTE]
