[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Amun Ra The Ultimate: [IMG]http://i.ytimg.com/vi/3he9vodjwIY/hqdefault.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE][i]The indications of exclusion, however, are much easier to interpret. For example, [b]the likelihood that either the Giza or Naqada configuration could occur in West Africa, the Congo, or points south is vanishingly small-0.000 and 0.001.[/b][/i] --Brace 1993 [i]We collected measurements for a single specimen from what was called the Nubian X Group in Reisner’s terminology (Reisner, 1909). This was a population that immediately preceded the early Christian Nubians of AD 550 (Carlson and Van Gerven, 19791, and, in the subjective treatment of a generation gone by, had been regarded as evidence for a “Negroid incursion’’ (Batrawi, 1935; Smith, 1909; Seligman, 1915). As our figures show, [b]the probability of finding our representative specimen in a sub- Saharan population is 0.009, which is highly unlikely.[/b] Its column loadings are generally similar to the loadings in the column for the Predynastic Naqada sample, and, except for the fact that it is only marginally unlikely that it can be excluded from the Giza sample, [b]it cannot be denied membership in the Naqada,[/b] European, or South Asian samples.[/i] --Brace 1993 [i]The authors are always at pains to point out that [b]the pure negro element appears to have been minute in the groups analysed; two skeletons in a hundred, for example, at Naga-ed-Der in early predynastic times, and one in fifty-four in Lower Nubia (Massoulard, 1949, p396 and pp410-411),[/b] although all anthropologists concur in acknowledging the existence of a "negroid" component in [b]the mixed population which constitutes the primitive Egyptian "ethnic group", at least from neolithic times onwards.[/b][/i] --Vercoutter 1974 [i][b]Of the total of 117 [Badarian] skulls[/b], 15 were found to be markedly Europoid, 9 of these were of the gracile Mediterranean type (Figs. ia & b), 6 were of very robust structure reminiscent of the North African Cromagnon type.24 [b]Eight skulls were clearly Negroid (Figs. 2a and b), and were close to the Negro types occurring in East Africa.[/b][/i] --Strouhal 1971 [i]Regardless of this, however, the Negroid component among the Badarians is anthropologically well based. [b]Even though the share of 'pure' Negroes is small (6.8 per cent)[/b], being half that of the Europoid forms (12-9 per cent), the high majority of mixed forms (80.3 per cent) suggests a long-lasting dispersion of Negroid genes in the population.[/i] --Strouhal 1971 [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [IMG]http://s28.postimg.org/zbf0fv6od/17_8_2014_21_55_01.jpg[/IMG] At best 2% of the dynastic Upper Egyptian (Abydos) series classified with West/Central Africans, per Keita 1996.[/QUOTE][b]Caveat[/b] Keep in mind that these are statistical and pseudo- statistical analyses. While they're useful to make inferences about the segments of the AE samples that looked like individuals or averages from other populations [b]in terms of the employed variables,[/b] they don't say if individuals from these foreign populations were actually present. In other words, these analyses do not provide support that any of the crania that classified as European or "mixed" were necessarily biologically European or European- African hybrids. [/QB][/QUOTE]
