Archaeologist Bruce Trigger cites what he saw as a deliberate obfuscation of racial politics, asserting that the early Nile valley populations (including Egyptians) were all Africans and need not be defined by arbitrary constructs of race, devoid of any contextual significance.[32] Egyptologist Frank Yurco shared a similar sentiment, identifying Egyptian civilization as comprising a mix of North and sub-Saharan African elements that typified Egyptians ever since, and that the Egyptian people were generally coextensive with other Africans in the Nile valley.[14] Many researchers note a wide range of variability in ancient Egypt and the Nile Valley, but assert that many Egyptians, especially southern, would be identified as "black" by American classification standards.[33] Some genetic studies done on modern Egyptians suggest that most do not have close relations to most tropical Africans,[34] and other studies show that they are mostly related to other North Africans,[35] and to a lesser extent southern European/Mediterranean and Middle Eastern populations.[5] A 2004 mtDNA study of upper Egyptians from Gurna found a genetic ancestral heritage to modern East Africans, characterized by a high M1 haplotype frequency, and another study links Egyptians in general with people from modern Eritrea and Ethiopia.[3][36] A 2003 Y chromosome study was performed by Lucotte on modern Egyptians, with haplotypes V, XI, and IV being most common. Haplotype V is common in Berbers and has a low frequency outside Africa. Haplotypes V, XI, and IV are all supra/sub-Saharan horn of Africa haplotypes, and they are far more dominant in Egyptians than in Near Eastern or European groups.[37] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_of_Ancient_Egyptians
If you read the article it was saying that genetics seemed to point in the Mideast direction as to most likely who they were made up of.
mmm sheer idiocy one size fits all chile of course they are amerindian. chile is in sa this is notwithstanding the piddling and rather inconvenient fact that 95% are caucs. hmm, what of this "were"? are egyptians eskimos now? are these the standards we aspire to in sciforums? how does this sub-human type intelligence get elevated to a mod position. am i to infer that the appointer is similarly lacking in frikking rational thought? of course to hell with discusssion and opinions it is not why forums exist foolish latvians 3rd world rabble /sneer
Indigenous people in north Africa are Berbers. They do not have the sub-Saharan African phenotype (appearance). More Mediterranean/Arabic.
"When biological evidence is gathered, an investigative team can use DNA WITNESS 2.0 to construct a partial physical profile from the DNA and in many cases learn details about the donor's appearance, essentially permitting a partial reconstruction of their driver's license photo."
And when did the Caucassions arrive, in the 1500's? That's not a valid comparisson. He was equating the fact that Africans are idigneous to that reigon, Caucassions are not indigenous to chile. Do you have any better analagies then that one? Cause this one failed miserably.
Cursory research shows this work to be a nonsense. Funded by the Discovery Channel! More Afrocentric lies: http://touregypt.net/featurestories/dcnefertiti.htm
