quote from S. O. Y. Keita , a well respected black scientist . according to him , modern north africans = ancient north africans = non-negroid africans = africans come in all shape and colors .
" Shomarka Keita, a biological anthropologist from Howard University, has claimed that populations in Carthage circa 200 BC and northern Algeria 1500 BC were very diverse. As a group, they plotted closest to the populations of Northern Egypt and intermediate to Northern Europeans and tropical Africans. Keita claimed that "the data supported the comments from ancient authors observed by classicists: everything from fair-skinned blonds to peoples who were dark-skinned 'Ethiopian' or part Ethiopian in appearance."[21] Modern evidence showed a similar diversity among present North Africans. Moreover, this "diversity" of phenotypes and peoples was probably due to in situ differentiation, not foreign influxes. Of course foreign influxes certainly had an impact but they did not replace the indigenous Berber population."
this is the map that showcases the frequencies of E1b1b , a type of dna not found in west africa, only in east and north . as you can see ,north africans are still predominantly " africans " , then why suggest that ancient egyptians looked any different than modern africans when genetic studies proves that invaders didn't replace the indigenous population ?
[IMG] you mean like this ? i'm not trying to start anything , i'm just curious and want to know what happened to these negroid northern egyptians ? how come most egyptians don't look black ? you gonna say it's admixture ? how come there is barely any arab DNA in egypt ( haplogroup j ) ? how come there is little to no european genetic influence in modern egypt ?
