[QUOTE]Originally posted by BrandonP: [QB] The argument that Proto-Semitic developed in northern Mesopotamia makes me wonder how we should reconstruct ancient South Semitic peoples of Arabia like the Sabaeans. Can we really say they were descended from the (undeniably dark-skinned) aboriginal inhabitants of southern Arabia if their language attests to an origin further north? I suppose they could have still mixed with aboriginal types though. [b]EDIT:[/b] Of course the earliest Proto-Semitic speakers would have been dark themselves, having just arrived from Africa, but I wonder if admixture with more northerly populations like Anatolians might have lightened them up over time.
