[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] [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.[/qb][/QUOTE]How did I error? How is Egypt being in Africa not relevant to the AE being African geographically and therefore the population therein being predominantly African at that time? Why should I assume all these NON Africans were walking around in the Nile Valley 5000 years ago? And this does not rule out contact, trade or migration between areas this just points out the obvious logic behind geographic labels for populations. Ancient populations weren't as mobile as today with planes, trains, and automobiles. So assuming that ancient cultures at certain times were primarily local and indigenous is not a bad POV in most cases. Otherwise no population should be labeled by geography then since everybody was everywhere according to this logic. There are no "Middle Easterners", "Asians", "Europeans" or anything else since everybody could theoretically have been everywhere. And lets cut to the chase. The whole trend since the discovery of KMT is to claim that the population there was primarily non African. And this hasn't changed. This is the reason the latest DNA study reinforces the concept of "Eurasian" lineages in Egyptian DNA. In their minds, the population of AE has to be viewed as primarily a transplant from Eurasia. This is what I disagree with. Semantics about geography and theoretical mileage between locations on a map has nothing to do with it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
