It's a $540 book from 2001, referenced in Kemp's Anatomy of a Civilization called
Egypt and the Levant : Interrelations from the 4th Through the Early 3rd Millennium B. C.(New Approaches To Anthropological Archaeology) [Hardcover] Thomas Levy (Author), Van Den Edwin C. M. Brink
This study of Egyptian-Canaanite interaction contributes to the examination of the role of social interaction between core civilizations and their less developed peripheries on social evolution. It tests a wide range of interaction models including the World Systems theory and Peer Polity Interaction, and approaches the subject from a variety of angles. It begins by taking a range of anthropological and historical models to place Egyptian-Canaanite interaction during the 4th through the early 3rd millennium BCE in context. The following section looks at environmental and biological context in which social interaction operated at this time. To examine the earliest widespread evidence of Egypt in Canaan, a number of chapters are devoted to the Chalcolithic period in both countries. The collection makes use of new developments in analytical methods such as archaeometallurgy and ceramic petrography to track ancient interaction. There are chapters examining the origins of the metals trade as well as a reassessment of the famous Kfar Monash metal hoard. Petrographic studies of vessels found in Tomb U-j at Abydos provide new and controversial data and a wealth of new, previously unpublished data concerning interaction during the key Early Bronze 1B period is presented for sites in Israel. New information and reassessments of some of the most important discoveries using epigraphic data - hieroglyphic and pictographic evidence concerning Dynasty 0 - Dynasty 1 presence in Palestine for example - is also presented. Finally the focus turns to the mechanisms of trade related to ancient seafaring and the overland caravan routes.

One of the chapters in the book seems pertinent to discussions here:
The Paleo-biological Evidence for Admixture between Populations in the Southern Levant and Egypt in the Fourth to Third Millenia BCE. , Patricia Smith
The quote in the above zaharan graphic is talking about Byblos comparisons not corresponding to Maadi and Merimde femurs, however that must not be the particular evidence supporting the title of the chapter.
Maybe owing to the $540 price tag this chapter is not discussed at length on the internet, not searchable on googlebooks or Amazon.

Sundjata already posted the Patricia Smith download link in Simple Girl's thread on page three.
As he said yesterday, you were a part of that discussion so there is no re-post what Sundjata posted days ago

One interesting quote from the section "Egyptians Today"-
These characteristics include head form, facial and nasal characteristics, jaw relationships, tooth size, morphology and upper/lower limb proportions. In all these features, Modern Egyptians resemble Sub-Saharan Africans (Howells 1989, Keita 1995) Posted by Sundjata (Member # 13096) on :
lioness is lazy as hell. I told her about this a long time ago, hence my refusal to hand feed her material. It took her 3 days to find a citation that I specifically directed her to. It speaks volumes about her overall research capabilities.

^I think it's funny how she makes it seem as if the download link is hers, even though you posted it
What other possibility other than messing with us or insane lol...

lol.. on the other hand it is good to see lioness doing a bit of research work. She does point out a nice quote. Here it is in full:
"The biological characteristics of modern Egyptians show a north-south cline, reflecting their geographic location between sub-Saharan Africa and the Levant. This is expressed in DNA, blood groups, serum proteins and genetic disorders (Filon 1996; Hammer et al. 1998; Krings et al. 1999). They can also be expressed in phenotypic characteristics that can be identified in teeth and bones (Crichton 1966; Froment 1992; Keita 1996). These characteristics include head form, facial and nasal characteristics, jaw relationships, tooth size, morphology and upper/lower limb proportions. In all these features, Modern Egyptians resemble Sub-Saharan Africans (Howells 1989, Keita 1995)." -Smith 2002
[ENDQUOTE}
Could it then be argued that lioness is slowly, grudgingly, reluctantly, but nevertheless improving her knowledge under the firm tutelage here at ES?
