[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ish Gebor: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass/: [qb] ~As I told you the ancient southern boundary of Egypt was 200km north than it is today. So the whole of ancient Egypt was outside of the tropics. This is why the ancient Egyptians distinguished their skin colour to the Nubians: "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." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Hymn_to_the_Aten The average Nubians was dark brown ('black'), while the Egyptian a light (Lower/Middle Egyptian) to medium (Upper Egyptian) brown shade: "Ancient Egyptians, like their modern descendants, varied in complexion from a light Mediterranean type, to a light brown in Middle Egypt, to a darker brown in southern Egypt." ([URL=http://www.michaelsheiser.com/PaleoBabble/Snowden%20Misconceptions.pdf]Snowden, 1997[/URL]) Afrocentristcs ignore this variation and cline, and want to categorize light and medium brown pigmentation with dark brown as "black" to fit their modern pan-African politics, where all Africans are "blacks". [/qb][/QUOTE]Stop posting DUMB ****, about a region and people you know NOTHING about, EUROLOOOOOON! [QUOTE] [b] Large-scale climate change forms the backdrop to the beginnings of food production in northeastern Africa (Kröpelin et al. 2008).[[/b] Hunter-gatherer communities deserted most of the northern interior of the continent during the arid glacial maximum and took refuge along the North African coast, the Nile Valley, and the southern fringes of the Sahara (Barich and Garcea 2008; Garcea 2006; Kuper and Kröpelin 2006). [b]During the subsequent Early Holocene African humid phase, from the mid-eleventh to the early ninth millennium cal BP, ceramic-using hunter-gatherers took advantage of more favorable savanna conditions to resettle much of northeastern Africa (Holl 2005; Kuper and Kröpelin 2006). Evidence of domestic animals first appeared in sites in the Western Desert of Egypt, the Khartoum region of the Nile, northern Niger, the Acacus Mountains of Libya, and Wadi Howar[/b] (Garcea 2004, 2006; Pöllath and Peters 2007; fig. 1).[/QUOTE]--Fiona Marshall Domestication Processes and Morphological Change Through the Lens of the Donkey and African Pastoralism Fiona Marshall and Lior Weissbrod [QUOTE][b]"The Mahalanobis D2 analysis uncovered close affinities between Nubians and Egyptians. [/b]Table 3 lists the Mahalanobis D2 distance matrix. As there is no significance testing that is available to be applied to this form of Mahalanobis distances, the biodistance scores must be interpreted in relation to one another, rather than on a general scale. In some cases, the statistics reveal that the Egyptian samples were more similar to Nubian samples than to other Egyptian samples (e.g. Gizeh and Hesa/Biga) and vice versa (e.g. Badari and Kerma, Naqada and Christian). These relationships are further depicted in the PCO plot (Fig. 2). Aside from these interpopulation relationships, some Nubian groups are still more similar to other Nubians and some Egyptians are more similar to other Egyptian samples. [b]Moreover, although the Nubian and Egyptian samples formed one well-distributed group,[/b] the Egyptian samples clustered in the upper left region, while the Nubians concentrated in the lower right of the plot. One line can be drawn that would separate the closely dispersed Egyptians and Nubians. [b]The predynastic Egyptian samples clustered together (Badari and Naqada), while Gizeh most closely groups with the Lisht sample. [/b] The first two principal coordinates from PCO account for 60% of the variation in the samples. The graph from PCO is basically a pictorial representation of the distance matrix and interpretations from the plot mirror the Mahalanobis D2 matrix."[/QUOTE]--Godde K.
