[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass/: [QB] All data from an old friend of mine- http://archhades.blogspot.co.uk/2011/06/caucasoid-racial-affinities-of-ancient.html Look at cranial non-metric, dental non-metric and metric. In all of these: Horn Africans do not plot close to ancient Egyptians & Nubians. Only in cranial metric do Horn Africans plot close to ancient Egyptians & Nubians. However, there are still some (mean) differences between North Africans and Horn Africans, as are visible today- "When all the North African groups ([Tunisians, Libyans, Egyptians], Canarians and Sahara Libyans) are pooled together, some differences characterising the East Africans [Ethiopians, Somalis] sample are evidenced. This group shows mainly a marked flattening of the nasal bones, with an antero-inferior maxillary development and a slight widening of the whole face. According to the previous hypothesis, the East African morphology might be interpreted as an "elongated" sub-Saharan face, in which the sub-Saharan features do not match a vertical facial shortening." - Emiliano Bruner & Giorgio Manzi (2004) Variability in facial size and shape among North and East African human populations, [i]Italian Journal of Zoology[/i]: 71(1): 51-56 Afrocentrists of course will just latch onto the cranial metrics, but ignore cranial non-metric, dental non-metric and metric that shows Horn African populations do not plot close to ancient Egyptians or Nubians. This is like how Afrocentrists fixate on limb metrics to try to show Egyptians as "tropically adapted", but ignore body-breadths which show Egyptians were not. Furthermore, the limb metric data actually shows a clinal pattern that doesn't even support the idea Egyptians had tropically adapted limbs. [/QB][/QUOTE]
