[QUOTE]Originally posted by Elijah The Tishbite: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by BrandonP: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Elijah The Tishbite: [qb] Have we ever resolved the question as to what Keita's coastal North African type actually looks like? I would imagine it to be somewhat like this below, but correct me if I am wrong: [IMG]https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/640/amz/worldservice/live/assets/images/2010/01/04/100104213653_sp_moussab_ap_226x170.jpg[/IMG] [/qb][/QUOTE]Didn’t he describe it as heterogeneous, but on average intermediate in morphology between Europeans and other Africans? [b]UPDATE:[/b] How about we go back to his classic 1990 study? [URL=https://www.academia.edu/29592422/Studies_of_ancient_crania_from_northern_Africa]Studies of ancient crania from northern Africa[/URL] [QUOTE]The unknown analyses of the Maghreban crania show many to be more similar to northern Egyptians Sedment and “E” series), but the presence of tropical phenotypes is notable. Thirteen to seventeen percent classified into the European series (Table 5).[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]The variability of the Maghreb series is probably secondary to migration into the region. This is not to resurrect the migrationist paradigm and imply that all biological or cultural change, or variability, is secondary to migration. Each case deserves its own evaluation. The Mediterranean neolithic tradition, as noted earlier, may have been brought from Europe by migrants (Camps, 1982). However, the “European” metrics of some of the crania may be secondary to geneflow from Phoenicia, since Punic craniometric data in Schwidetsky and Ramaswamy, 1980) reveal them to have values similar to those of Europeans (see data in Howells, 1973). Blacks (the “Ethiopians” of the Maghreb and Sahara of the ancient writers) may have migrated from a desiccating Sahara during an earlier hunting period or during the neolithic period or may have been part of the indigenous early Holocene population. This would pertain to the Nile Valley also.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]The analyses demonstrate the metric heterogeneity of pre-Roman mid-Holocene Maghreban crania. The range of variation in the restricted area described extends from a tropical African metric pattern to a European one and supports the phenotypic variability observed in and near Carthage by ancient writers and in morphological studies. Thus the population emerges as a composite entity, no doubt also containing hybrid individuals. However, the centroid value of the combined Maghreb series indicates that the major craniometric pattern is most similar to that of northern dynastic Egyptians, not northwest Europeans. Furthermore, the series from the coastal Maghreb and northern Lower Egypt are more similar to one another than they are to any other series by centroid values and unknown analyses.[/QUOTE][/qb][/QUOTE]Indeed, he did say it was intermediate between tropical Africans and Europeans. Its seems to be very difficult to pin down exactly how this type would look phenotypically [/QB][/QUOTE]
