[QUOTE]Originally posted by Oshun: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by sudaniya: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass/: [qb] "Olive skin" is a light brown, just the lightest shade of that colour spectrum- we're still talking about a [i]brown[/i] colour, not white. And as Snowden (1997) points out coastal Egyptians would have been virtually indistinguishable to southern Europeans in pigmentation. Anyway, I noticed in your recent replies you only say southern Egyptians were black. So do you now admit northern (Lower/Middle) Egyptians were light brown shades and not black? That's a start I guess. [/qb][/QUOTE]Southern Europeans are not light-brown and an olive hue is not a metonym for light-brown. Southern Europeans are just tanned. The San are truly light-brown. I think Northern Egyptians were biracial whereas the South was indisputably black, but then again if we use European standards, biracial people are still black. When I mention Southern Egypt, I mean Upper Egypt. You will also have to stop pretending that Southern Egyptians didn't create and dominate the ancient Egyptian civilization politically, demographically and militarily for the bulk of dynastic Egyptian history. The South is the most important region of ancient Egypt; the area where the civilization sprang from; the area in which the population was virtually identical to Lower "Nubians"; the politically dominant region; the region that conquered the other part of Egypt - starting the dynastic period; the geographically largest; the demographically dominant region; the richer, more sophisticated and more advanced region.

[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]... Keita (1992) found that [b]distance between populations[/b] from Badari, Naqada and Abydos, as calculated from metrical parameters, [b]correlated well with chronology rather than geographical distance."[/b] [/QUOTE] [QUOTE] "The findings presented here indicate that the north-south differences reported for Predynastic and Early Dynastic populations in Egypt were not due to large-scale population movements out of the southern Levant in the Neolithic or Predynastic period.[b] Rather, they appear to reflect the long-term effect of differentiation between small, localized groups of hunters and gatherers exploiting different ecological niches.[/b] Having said this, it must be emphasized that these results are constrained by the small sample sizes available for the sites discussed here, and the limited number of sites represented."[/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
