[QUOTE]Originally posted by tropicals redacted: [QB] @capra [QUOTE] [b]DougM[/b] [b]No being on the same continent brings you into a physical union with other people from the same continent. And we should assume this is the case before imposing or assuming closer relations with populations farther away via travel. This isn't abnormal. Asians are asians because they exist in Asia the landmass with other Asians. Europeans are Europeans because they exist in Europe the landmass with other Europeans. Africans are Africans because they exist in the African landmass with other Africans.[/b] [/QUOTE]I think Doug erred in his reasoning here, but he's ultimately correct in his assertion of Egypt as African. In your reply to me you wrote: [QUOTE] [b]point is that Egypt is not more geographically connected to other relevant bits of Africa than to Asia merely because it is on the same arbitrarily-defined continent. not to dismiss actual evidence of relationships. [/b] [/QUOTE]Your first point is correct, but ultimately irrelevant. Given the evidence I've cited (physical anthropological and cultural) it's clear that ancient Egypt's geographical proximity to the Near East cannot be used as measure to assert or imply greater affinities with that region. Propinquity to the Near East is a line of reasoning that's been used to deny the African identity of ancient Egypt for ideological reasons. However, it's good that you're not seeking to dismiss actual evidence of relationships. [/QB][/QUOTE]
