[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass/: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass/: [qb] [QUOTE]Some migration and admixture are not denied as a part of African biohistory in some regions, but most of the gene flow has been so long ago as to have been reworked by African selection pressures and circumstances, and constitute a part of an African genuine biological history (Hiernaux 1975).[/QUOTE]Funny thing about this is Hiernaux never argued what Keita is arguing, but the opposite: "In this book the emphasis is on sub-Saharan Africa, the specifically African anthropological area. [b]Because North Africa and Egypt belong much more to the Mediterranean and the area of Western Asia than to Africa in that which concerns physical anthropology[/b], these regions will be touched on only briefly." (Hiernaux, 1975) As someone mentioned at Hamiticunion: [QUOTE]Like the above, most of [b]Hiernaux's work is actually quite logical and well-conceived. It's just been taken out-of-context and/or heavily distorted by Afrocentrists[/b] writing in secondary sources. Hiernaux was a colleague of Carleton Coon's, and they often referenced each other's work. [/QUOTE] http://hamiticunion.proboards.com/thread/38 [/qb][/QUOTE]You pointed out the Nat Geo saying modern Egyptians are 68% native Their former classification from the same source was 65% Mediterranean. Now they have narrowed that broader category to a more precise North African category. You like to refer to ambiguous in many cases, craniometry the than the precision of genetics. Many modern Egyptians, for instance, carry Y DNA E1b1b. [/qb][/QUOTE]I don't think there's any actual inconsistency in ancient Egyptians descending predominantly from Epipaleolithic Levantines and modern Egyptians being predominantly 'native' North Africans. This is because of the time-depth, i.e. there would be continuity in Egypt from the Epipaleolithic to modern times which is over 13,000 years and how far back does National Geographic treat "native"? Many of these admixture analyses only deal with the Holocene. [/QB][/QUOTE]
