[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Rain King: What the Hell is an "Asian"? An Indian, Han Chinese, a Semitic/mulattocized population, Melanesians? Secondly his skull was analyzed, and reported on over a decade ago (it caused quite a stir here). It was described as some form of "Caucasoid" (I believe "North African"). What we know about African cranial affinities is that outside of the "Niger-Congo"/Bantu generalized morphologies (called "Negroid") other African skulls had at one time been preclassified as some form of Caucasoid alluding to some theory of ancient albinos coming back into Africa and adjusting their prior Negroid affinities. Case and point the Nilotic African is described as having "Caucasoid"/"European" skull shape. Bantu's who have significant admixture with them have distinctive skulls considered "Caucasoid" as well like the Tutsi (around 1/5 Nilotic paternally) [IMG]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/73LvMVKz97yuI9stKwll-kPREm4uKVZkTyFgavQ0ZzC9-Ft8KEH-cBSJn3nrrLB84afkQHeuch3GkIXlOSl6zvaMy_Pd3DQFKtNJ-qBL7HdSKLACgDI58RTaUpqjFi3_LbeaTJnJsHJuqw[/IMG] His skull looks like a mixture of Bantu and a Nilotic element. His cultural affinities show that he sported the noted collars sported by Bantu and Nilotic ethnic groups. [IMG]https://www.osirisnet.net/tombes/pharaons/toutankhamon/photo/tta_titre.jpg[/IMG] What "archaeology" or "linguistic" would you say correlates with cranial affinity with Asians? [/QB][/QUOTE]Notice the bait and switch that Lioness has already pointed out above (using a Nilote to argue a Bantu phenotypes in Egypt). Low key an admission of not being able to deliver on the initial claim. Just like Yatunde Lisa, Rain King doesn’t understand (the weight of) the data, so the defiance in his posts is out of touch with how damning the evidence is. The affinity with random samples from Europe to Asia is not necessarily a conclusive result that cannot be improved with better North African sampling. It is (to some extent, at least) a function of the weak affinity with the available African (i.e. Bantu) samples. So, it makes no sense to ask beside-the-point questions about the identity of the European or Asian samples with generic/loose affinity to Egyptians. The point is that assorted Eurasian samples generally cover the phenotypical variation of Egyptian mummies better than Bantu samples do. How are you still going to make a defiant post after that? Is America is the [URL=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_facts]land of alternative facts?[/URL] [/QB][/QUOTE]
