[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ish Gebor: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass/: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Ish Gebor: East Africa was a place where variety evolved, so your post is senseless.[/QUOTE]There are no narrow-nasal bone orthognathic East African crania until c. 500 BCE (Iron Age). This time-frame fits modern genetic studies about Arabian gene flow into East Africa almost spot on- "A similar signal of west Eurasian ancestry is present throughout eastern Africa. In particular, we also find evidence for two admixture events in the history of Kenyan, Tanzanian, and Ethiopian populations, the earlier of which involved populations related to west Eurasians and which we date to [b]∼2,700–3,300 y ago[/b]." "First, a [b]large-scale movement of people from west Eurasia into Ethiopia around 3,000 y ago[/b] (perhaps from southern Arabia and associated with the D’mt kingdom and the arrival of Ethiosemitic languages) resulted in the dispersal of west Eurasian ancestry throughout eastern Africa." http://www.pnas.org/content/111/7/2632.full Furthermore, we have a reliable dating of the Lothagam Kenyan crania (8000-6000 BP), see Rightmire (1984) for a description: "Nasal root below is generally wide and flattened. Teeth are large, and there is a good deal of alveolar prognathism or forward projection of the lower face and jaws. In both males and females, the mandibles are often heavy." The prehistoric crania from northern Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and Ethiopia are "Negroid" with alveolar prognathism, large teeth and wide nasal bones. Only in the Iron Age do crania with narrow nasal aperture, small teeth and orthognathic jaws appear, as a result of gene flow with Arabian peoples (3000 BP) who probably introduced the South Semitic languages to Ethiopia, see Kitchen et al. (2009). "Bayesian phylogenetic analysis of Semitic languages identifies an Early Bronze Age origin of Semitic in the Near East". [/qb][/QUOTE]So based on these few specimen you draw conclusions? I remember you posted something (a few years back) about Caucasians in Central Africa somewhere, about 15Kya. This reminded me of the Tutsis. Euronuts called the Tutsi a Hamitic people. lol @ all this flip flopping. [i]The colonial scholars who found complex societies in sub-Saharan Africa developed the Hamitic hypothesis, namely that “black Europeans” had migrated into the African interior, conquering the primitive peoples they found there and introducing civilization. The Hamitic hypothesis continues to echo into the current day, both inside and outside of academic circles. As scholars developed a migration hypothesis for the origin of the Tutsi that rejected the Hamitic thesis, the notion that the Tutsi were civilizing alien conquerors was also put in question.[/i] -Wikipedia The orthognathic exceeds the given data, by far. And colder climates reduce the nasal width. [IMG]http://www.sciencephoto.com/image/439467/large/C0112984-Prehistoric_human_skull_Omo_1_-SPL.jpg[/IMG] [/QB][/QUOTE]
