[QUOTE]Originally posted by .Charlie Bass.: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass/: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by .Charlie Bass.: [qb] Swenet, STOP putting words in my mouth chewing on strawmen, I stated with supporting evidence from Keita, that SAEs are craniometrically similar to Upper Nile people, Saharan groups and Horners, if you have a problem with my position go see Keita and tell him the same BS that this so called new study refutes his craniometric studies. Enough of the tapdancing Swenet, address what I say and am stating or get the helll off my post setting up strawmen. You haven't addressed anything in my OP and I know why for good reason. Middle Egyptians from the Late Dynastic period are in no way fully indicative of the entire population and its been well noted that they trend more towards Near Easterners that predynastic and Early Dynastic samples. Since this study does NOT have predynasic and early dynastic samples DNA wise no one can say they were tropically adapted Near Eastern people who got blacker. Now I will not address any more strawmen or distortions of my position Swenet, in essence stop being a coward hiding behind an abstract from a study and man up and address my points [/qb][/QUOTE]Lower Egyptians are/were not tropically adapted. Take a look at Raxter (2011); the northern ancient Egyptian sample(s) are closer in mean crural index (pooled sexes) to southern Europeans, than Upper Egyptians & Nubians. In fact the difference is only 0.2 between Southern Europeans and Lower Egyptians... they're almost identical. Northern European: 82.5 [b]Southern European: 83.9[/b] [b]Lower Egyptian: 84.1[/b] Upper Egyptian: 85.1 Lower Nubian: 86.6 Upper Nubian: 85.5 If you're talking about 'tropical adapted' Egyptians, you have to restrict this to Upper Egyptians, but this doesn't show for all post-crania metrics like body-breath, only limb metrics. Raxter (2011) found as a whole, Egyptians "tend to be intermediate when plotted against higher and lower latitude populations" in body-breadth. [/qb][/QUOTE]Hey idiot, try checked out the tropical limbs of predynastic Northern Egyptians. The sample size is small, but given the time frame: [IMG]http://i68.tinypic.com/flev74.png[/IMG] [/QB][/QUOTE]
