For example, typical North Africans are Brown, not Black
*sigh* This again? Do a search on these words: "Black invention myths." By the way, why is it that it seems as if most "great Black geniuses" were racially more White than Black?

]And as for your "peer reviewed evidence".......worthless. Literally worthless. In case you didn't know, there are many who are fully willing to lie through their teeth just to advance their own agenda. Sadly, it seems as if science is a prime example of this. But me......well, I need only my logic and my eyes to see through all the nonsense and figure things out.
And just in case you didn't know, "Africa" does NOT necessarily equal "racially Negroid." For example, typical North Africans are Brown, not Black.
"There is now a sufficient body of evidence from modern studies of skeletal remains to indicate that the ancient Egyptians, especially southern Egyptians, exhibited physical characteristics that are within the range of variation for ancient and modern indigenous peoples of the Sahara and tropical Africa.. In general, the inhabitants of Upper Egypt and Nubia had the greatest biological affinity to people of the Sahara and more southerly areas." (Nancy C. Lovell, " Egyptians, physical anthropology of," in Encyclopedia of the Archaeology of Ancient Egypt, ed. Kathryn A. Bard and Steven Blake Shubert, ( London and New York: Routledge, 1999) pp 328-332)
"must be placed in the context of hypotheses informed by archaeological, linguistic, geographic and other data. In such contexts, the physical anthropological evidence indicates that early Nile Valley populations can be identified as part of an African lineage, but exhibiting local variation. This variation represents the short and long term effects of evolutionary forces, such as gene flow, genetic drift, and natural selection, influenced by culture and geography." ("Nancy C. Lovell, " Egyptians, physical anthropology of," in Encyclopedia of the Archaeology of Ancient Egypt, ed. Kathryn A. Bard and Steven Blake Shubert, ( London and New York: Routledge, 1999). pp 328-332)

Well, a few Afrocentrics said it; I guess it must be true, eh?
Do you also believe that Greek culture was created by Blacks? Or that Beethoven was Black?
As I said, a handful of Blacks could be seen amongst the Ancient Egyptians, which can indeed be validated by some of the HIGHLY SELECTIVE (in other words, biased) evidence that can be seen. But to go right ahead and say "" is just baseless trash.
The Egyptians were not Black; nor were they White, or Brown. Not purely, at least - apparently they were a mixture of some type.
Oh, and in case you didn't know, dark skin does NOT necessarily imply "Black." You did know that.......didn't you?

All art coming out of Negroid Africa portraits people with large dlat noses and big lips. However, no Egyptian drawings show such people.
Personally, I think it is logical to assume that Ancient Egyptians did not have Negroid features.
Just wondering, have you seen all the every pieces of art on Egyptian walls?
It takes one search in google and you will find many examples or black/ dark skin Egyptians at that time.edit on 17-8-2011 by OwenGP185 because: (no reason given)

None of the images you posted depict people with negroid features.
but your world is me shining your shoes, and thinking my god is white and talks english and floating around in space
India was Kush and it is still referred to that to this day in certain parts. This is why that try to trick you by call the land of sheba cush with a C, and india Kush with a K. Don't be fooled. Look at the Dalits and the Dravidians of that land and then look and the modern ethiopians. It's not hard to put 2 and 2 together.

Dark skin with braids and afros...naw that's not a 'negroid' feature...edit on 21-8-2011 by DeNaga because: (no reason given)
Negroid features should include a flat nose, a protruding jaw, and a protruding head back. Like this:

Now race is a theory. You have only mentioned physical characteristics which DO NOT establish the base for race. Africa is the most genetically diverse continent. If we are going to classify things using this illusory instrument then I should assume based on the genetic variation found in Africa alone would conclude there are at least 200 races alone. Your telling me adaptation is wrong??? One can reside in one environment and completely mutate in another. That is fact.
Back to surface, your focusing on the different branches of humanity and your trying to convey and convince me that they do not have the same trunk!!?? This is completely erroneous. For the record, you have no idea about my lineage, history, creed, or blood line for that matter. Do not make radical claims.
I know who I am. and the first line in my sig says it all. vibe on that.
Everyone does NOT produce sufficient eumelanin
, let me be a little more precise with this guy, and when dealing with creatures that have not seen the light of day in the last couple of hundred of years, they do NOT produce this chemical. You need to understand etymology if your going to figure this our .
The word aryan is a sanskrit word and its origins have nothing to do with anglo, european, or so called 'whites'. It has nothing to do with them and indigenous people from africa have blue eyes and blonde hair,so I don't know where you going with that......

I could quiet honestly care less the Americans enslaved the Black people , considering the Blacks enslaved them because they lost tribal warfare generally , and we bought them. Whites have been enslaved just as long as the Blacks have , Asians have been enslaved just as long as the blacks have.
I could care less what black , white , Asian people accomplish. We are here today and the world will keep spinning if you dont stand up and make a discovery. Youll die the next , or youll live the next , no one truly cares until it comes to your own skin.
Race is trivial , im tired of hearing about it. The white Man enslaved the black man .... the White man enslaved the white man too. The Middle eastern enslaved the the middle eastern as well. The Asians enslaved Asians as well.
Get over yourself. Go back to Africa or your home Nation if you dont like it. It happened. Get over it.
So im basically sayin ..... i could care less what color you are. The world keeps spinning whether your dead or a live white or black or Asian or Hispanic. I dont walk down the street or going look at the mexican or black guy , no i go down the street saying look at that idiot (if your doing something stupid) We need to stop associating race with everything. Gets you no where.
Ive seen , all walks of people bleed , and its the same color .... same fear.edit on 04/30/2011 by milkyway12 because: (no reason given)
Yeah race is trivial when someone checks your arse on the bs that's being put out. I agree that it's shouldn't be about race, but unfortunately that's what's implied everyday. Everyday I turn on the tv, it's whiteyville...Race is reality whether you realize it or not. If you have never been profiled, or disrespected because of your race, or have idiots claiming your heritage then you would know what it feels like. Until the truth is told about racial differences then we as a group cannot move forward because the next evolutional level is biological, and I'll let you guess who they are studying right now.
The Moors enslaved the white man and the white man made the blacks in america think they were brought over here as slaves. Two totally different things.
As far as the go back to africa comment, we were here first. Before the white man, before the so call "indians", and before the so called hispanics. Did you know that a woman by the name of empress verdiace of the moorish nation took the government to court in the 80s to prove that the louisiana purchase was illegal, and that blacks were the idigenous people of this land and won! The moorish nation was also recognized by the geneva convention as a separate nation. Also the empress was petitioned by the govenor of texas to recognize texas as a soveriegn state because texas wasn't recognize by the geneva convention and the only way a country or state can be sovereign is by the geneva convention or to be recognized by another sovereign nation.
How bout you go back to where you came from if you can find it.
