[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] [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). [/qb][/QUOTE]There is no location on earth that is or was immune from immigration. That is the point. The same geography that allows you to claim that Egypt was subject to "backmigration" is the same geography that makes the Levant and Europe subject to African migration as well. Migration is a two way street. Before anybody could back migrate there had to be an initial immigration first. And if what you are saying is true then nobody in the North of Africa is truly African then. Because according to you they do not ultimately originate within the geographical boundaries of Africa. That does not invalidate the geographic term Africa nor does it invalidate the concept of African. It just shows that a lot of people are playing double standards in using labels to refer to DNA and ancient populations. I am not going to play silly games of semantics. When I say the AE population was primarily African I mean just that. They ultimately originated within the geographic boundaries of Africa. Now that does not mean that other populations did not migrate into Egypt and affect the population at various times. That wasn't the point. I just do not subscribe to the theory that ancient populations prior to the founding of Egypt along the Nile can be called "Eurasian" in any sense. That is an ultimate falsehood in my opinion. And there is no DNA going that far back from Egypt to even prove this. And like I said before, the people who do these reconstructions of Nefertiti and other Egyptians as white European looking absolutly believe or want to believe this is what most ancient Egyptians looked like. That is absolutely a distortion of history and that is the context I am keeping this in. Ancient Egypt is as much a transplant of Eurasia as Rome is a transplant from Africa. It wasn't. AE was a transplant of the Sahara and Sudan and that is not Eurasia. [/QB][/QUOTE]
