[QUOTE]Originally posted by capra: [QB] @ Doug claiming that Egyptians are from Africa therefore they are what Doug thinks of as African, which excludes ancient back-migrants from Eurasia, is nonsense. Africans are whatever they are, you cannot define North Africans out of existence (whether they actually are ancient back-migrants or not, that is an obvious plausible explanation requiring no Eurocentricity). @ tropicals-redacted i don't know anything about headrests, but i am perfectly willing to believe you. i don't mean to deny cultural connections with Sub-Saharan Africa, on the contrary i think they are very interesting. but Egypt obviously also has plenty of cultural elements shared with the Near East, it is not like they are mutually exclusive. getting way off topic but the question of biological affinity to other Northeast Africans: supposing for the sake of argument that Egyptians derive from back-migration from West Eurasia, why shouldn't we expect neighbouring parts of Africa have this ancestry as well, and moreoever coming from the particular branch represented in Egypt? it is only an assumption that such affinity must represent 'native' African ancestry. (and actually i do think that cousins of Predynastic Egyptians are the main source of the MENA ancestry in East Africa.) [/QB][/QUOTE]
