[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass/: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by sudaniya: In other words you would like to pretend that Upper Egyptians (demographically and politically dominant AE) and "Nubians" (Lower "Nubians" in particular) don't stem from a common origin and were virtually identical in the predynastic and dynastic period.[/QUOTE]No. Let's use the European example. Generally speaking, while northern Europeans can be distinguished from southern Europeans in their autosomal DNA, the overall genetic difference is very small (Greeks/Swedish: Fst=0.009); its the same for craniometric data. However, there is a significant difference in northern European vs. southern European pigmentation: skin, hair, eyes. Note the following- "As we saw above in the case of ecotypes, adaptive genetic differentiation can be maintained between populations by natural selection [i]even where there is significant gene flow between the populations[/i]." http://people.oregonstate.edu/~kaplanj/2003-PhilSc-race.pdf I propose the exact same situation for Egyptians and Nubians. People who are upset by this are idiots who are trying to politicalize terms like "black" and "white" to cover whole continents; why not just recognise the reality that northern Europeans differ significantly to southern Europeans in their pigmentation, like ancient Egyptians did to Nubians? I don't and never have called southern Europeans, "white", they're a pale-brown colour. Also, Afrocentrists are still running away from the [i]Great Hymn to the Aten[/i]: "The countries of Syria and Nubia, the land of Egypt, Thou settest every man in his place, Thou suppliest their necessities:Everyone has his food, and his time of life is reckoned.Their tongues are separate in speech, And their natures as well; [b]Their skins are distinguished[/b], As thou distinguishest the foreign peoples." :rolleyes: [/QB][/QUOTE]
