[QUOTE]Originally posted by realone: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Morpheus: [qb] I haven't read the full study and don't know of anyone who has access to it online but not much can be gathered by that tiny quote from Strouhal. Keita is a respected anthropologist so until I see the entire study with my own eyes and it's clear that he is misrepresenting sources I will not pass judgment on him over this issue. [/qb][/QUOTE]FULL STUDY th the aim of elucidating the question of the morphological character of the Badarians,I studied both Badarian series,the first one in Duckworth Laboratory at Cambrige[53 skulls]and the second one in the Insitute of Anatomyat Kasr El-Aini,Unversity of Cairo[64 skulls],making a total of 117 skulls of adult and juvenile individuals. Of the total of 117 skulls,15 were found to be markedly Europoid,9 of these were of the gracile Mediterranean type.....6 were of very robust structure reminiscent of the North African Cro-Magnoid type. Eight skulls were clearly negriod........and were close to the Negro types occuring in East Africa. The majority of 94 skulls showed mixed Europoid-Negriod features in different combinations and with different shares of both components,either well balanced or with characters of the neautral range,common to both racial groups. We may conclude that the share of both components was nearly the same,with some overweight to the Europoid side. In some of the Badarian crania hair was preserved,thanks to good conditions in the desert sand. In the first series ,according to the description of the excavators,they were curly in 6 cases,wavy in 33 cases,straight in 10 cases. They were black in 16 samples ,dark brown in 11,brown in 12,light brown in ,and gray in 11 cases....... I was able to take samples of seven of the racially mixed Badarian indivduals which were macroscopically curly[spirals of 10-20mm in diameter]or wavy in [25-35 mm]. They were studied microscopically by S. Tittlebacchova from the Institute of Anthropology of the Charles Unversity,who found in five out of seven samples a change in the thickness of the hair in the course of its length ,sometimes with simultaneous narrowing of the hair pitch. The outline of the cross-sections of the hairs was flattened ,with indices ranging from 35 to 65. These peculiarities also show Negriod influence among the Badarians. {Thus] the Negriod component amung the Badarians is anthropologically well based. Even though the share of ''pure'' Negores is small[6.8 percent],being half that of Europoid forms[12.9 percent],the hig majority of mixed forms [80.3 percent] suggest a long-lasting dispersion of Negriod genes in the population. It can be interpreted by the supposition that the mixture of both components began many generations previously..... We still donot know exactly when neolithic farmers first settled in the Nile Valley,nor from whence they came. A date in the sixth millennium B.C. is most likley the sources of the settlement may probally be found in the eastern Mediterraneanarea. At the same period,however,with the begginings of the Makalian wet phases ,the Niegro populations of the Sudanic savannah belt would have started its movement towards the north,into Saharan latitudes,which then,for the last time became open to human occupation. Maybe some of these emigrant groups penetrated down the Nile as far as Upper Egypt,thus providing one of the oldest known biological contacts between Negriods and Europoids,the ultimate evidence of which appears some 1,000-1,500 years later in skeletons preserved in the Badarian cemetaries. In this connection,we have to mention the Egyptologist have found in Badarian and other pre-dyanstic cultures of Upper Egypt some materials and idelogical evidence of southern or Sudanic African elements. The Badarian pottery is connected with the pottery of the Khartoumn neolithic culture,which originated probally from cermacis of the early Khartoumn culture. Some authors postulate the direct derivation of Badarian pottery from the Khartoumn neolithic pottery. While in Egypt pottery of this type was later replaced by other ceramic forms,often under the influence of the Middle East,in the Sudan this arhaic pottery persisted flor along time,and was form there later introduced on several occasions by southern immigrants into Nubia and even[though in small quanities] into Egypt. Fishing hooks were also found in Badari ,typologically similar to Khartoumn neolithic hooks,but more developed,and therefore pobally younger. To this connection between the Khartoumn neolithic and Badarian cultures it is necessary to add that,according to present--unfortunatley still very poor----evidence,the population of the Khartoumn neolithic was negriod. Badarian flint instruments are of suprisingly poor quality. They were made from free-lying boulders,regardless of the fact that in the living area of the Badarians plenty of superb flints could have been collected from limestone layers. This provides an argument for the arrival of Badarian people from area lacking limestones with flints e.g.,from more southern areas ,where,starting with 25 degrees N. latitude in the Eastern Desert and Esna in the Nile Valley,the limestone relief comes o an end. In some of the BAdarian graves,conical buttons made from fine polished cermaics were found which were probally worn in the earlobes or in the nasal wings.......The custom of wearing ornaments in the nose or ears can be considered in this region also being of African origin. In the pre-dyanstic cultures of Upper Egypt Alderd found evidence of the cult of ceslsetial and astral deities ,as well as of the idea of the leader]later deified king],and the ''rainmaker''. This is also an old African conception ,which may be connected with the original home of the Upper Egyptian populations [or part of it] in a region dependking motr on rainfall than on the Nile floods.
