The afrocentrics who were displaying that board clearly were ashamed of their ancestors, after all isn't that why they have made up this rubbish about Egyptians being their true ancestors lol...its plain for anyone to see!

Funny how you present the black Hebrew Israelite as confused and deluded people yet you claim that subsaharan's are the ones who built the pyramids which is equally ridiculous, something which would be called pseudohistory by any professor of Egyptology in any university!
Afrocentrists and black Hebrew Israelite can be bunched together in that they both share a hatred for the white man which is clear to anyone who will take the time to view their videos on you tube and read comments beneath.

The Neolithic at Nabta Playa
At approximately 11,000 to 10,000 years BP (uncalibrated), the globe witnessed the major
climatic change known as the Younger Dryas (Rosen 2003). Nabta Playa in the Western
Desert of Egypt was affected by these changes (Figs. 1 and 2). Today this area is known to be
among the most arid parts of the Sahara Desert, receiving only an estimated 1 mm of rain per
year (Wendorf and Schild 1980) or less (Haynes 1996). It has not always been such a hostile
environment. Indeed, between 11,000 and 3,860 bp, the Nabta Playa area witnessed seven
humid interphases that were interrupted by five arid phases (Wendorf and Schild 2001a).
Excavations of the Holocene settlements at Nabta Playa revealed that between 9500 and
5000 radiocarbon years ago, the area received 100 to 200 mm of rainfall per year, making
it more suitable for human occupation. The rainfall gathered in a series of lakes, including
Nabta Playa, one of the largest in the region, with an estimated catchment area of 1500 km2
(Wendorf and Schild 2001b). The earliest sites were located, as were many Palaeolithic sites
in Egypt, around these large water resources (Brewer 2005). The lakes attracted humans and
other animals and supported a subsistence base of hunting, gathering and in some cases,
fishing (Smith 1984; Hassan 1998). During the last part of the Neolithic sequence at Nabta
Playa, beginning around 4,500 bp, the climate began shifting towards the modern hyperaridity (Hill 2001; Wendorf and Schild 2001a).
I agree in one respect i do see Afrocentrism as racist its trying to alter history because of those white people. But its a subtle form its almost self deprecating in a way they have so little pride in themselves they feel the need to look elsewhere kinda sad when you think about it carefully.But you see this in the black population they are continually trying to separate themselves from whites. Heck just the term afican american is a separation why cant they just be americans. I think in the end them trying desparately to separate instead of join defeats the message of Dr Martin Luther King. He didnt want blacks to separate but join with society well i guess we still have a long way to go. It will happen when blacks finally come to the realization that most whites dont really care what color they are or what they do.For them they make racism an issue and a crutch. If they dont get a job the man is putting them down. Funny thing is when you think this way your simply enslaving yourself arent you?

Ok i really dont care if Egyptians were black brown or green.But at this point your being intellectually dishonest im not saying your doing it on purpose so i wont accuse you of lying.The last archaeological site of predynastic egypt was in 1988.So your asking for something which not only doesnt exist but cant exist. Im not sure if your aware of this but very few sites have been found most of them were just a couple of graves. Now the other thing there were two tribes that are considered the basis for Egyptians. There were two separate cultures and they developed right there in the nile valley they didnt come from anywhere.There was no influx from nigeria like your video they were a completely different tribe. there was the madi and nagada cultures.The nagada group wins out in the end even worshiped seth. However both these tribes dont exist prior to the neolithic so we truly have no idea before that because there is no archaeological evidence.
Egypt has all ways been a a melting pot the nagada culture traded with Mesopotamia and was capable of building boats so there race would obviously be mixed. Egyptians had made contact in the 4th millennium B.C. with SW Asia is undeniable, but the effect of this contact on state formation in Egypt is unclear.So what does this mean your asking for proof which doesnt exist but along those same lines there is no proof that Egyptians came from anywhere other then the nile vallly. Bottom line they would have developed the skin color based off the area they live because this is a protection mechanism of evolution.So unless you have a time machine this is a stupid argument because in the end they are one of the cultures that developed in Africa doesnt matter to anyone then because there wasnt this race garbage.
Abstract
Qualitative and quantitative methods are employed to describe and compare up to 36 dental morphological variants in 15 Neolithic through Roman-period Egyptian samples. Trait frequencies are determined, and phenetic affinities are calculated using the mean measure of divergence and Mahalanobis D2 statistics for discrete traits; the most important traits in generating this intersample variation are identified with correspondence analysis. Assuming that the samples are representative of the populations from which they derive, and that phenetic similarity provides an estimate of genetic relatedness, these affinities are suggestive of overall population continuity. That is, other than a few outliers exhibiting extreme frequencies of nine influential traits, the dental samples appear to be largely homogenous and can be characterized as having morphologically simple, mass-reduced teeth. These findings are contrasted with those resulting from previous skeletal and other studies, and are used to appraise the viability of five Egyptian peopling scenarios. Specifically, affinities among the 15 time-successive samples suggest that: 1) there may be a connection between Neolithic and subsequent predynastic Egyptians, 2) predynastic Badarian and Naqada peoples may be closely related, 3) the dynastic period is likely an indigenous continuation of the Naqada culture, 4) there is support for overall biological uniformity through the dynastic period, and 5) this uniformity may continue into postdynastic times.

The question of the genetic origins of ancient Egyp-tians, particularly those during the Dynastic period, isrelevant to the current study. Modern interpretations of Egyptian state formation propose an indigenous origin of the Dynastic civilization (Hassan, 1988). Early Egyptolo-gists considered Upper and Lower Egyptians to be genet-ically distinct populations, and viewed the Dynastic pe-riod as characterized by a conquest of Upper Egypt bythe Lower Egyptians. More recent interpretations con-tend that Egyptians from the south actually expandedinto the northern regions during the Dynastic state uni-fication (Hassan, 1988; Savage, 2001), and that the Pre-dynastic populations of Upper and Lower Egypt are mor-phologically distinct from one another, but not suffi-ciently distinct to consider either non indigenous(Zakrzewski, 2007). The Predynastic populations studied here, from Naqada and Badari, are both Upper Egyptian samples, while the Dynastic Egyptian sample (Tarkhan)is from Lower Egypt. The Dynastic Nubian sample isfrom Upper Nubia (Kerma). Previous analyses of cranial variation found the Badari and Early Predynastic Egyp-tians to be more similar to other African groups than toMediterranean or European populations (Keita, 1990;Zakrzewski, 2002). In addition, the Badarians have been described as near the centroid of cranial and dental vari-ation among Predynastic and Dynastic populations stud-ied (Irish, 2006; Zakrzewski, 2007). This suggests that,at least through the Early Dynastic period, the inhabi-tants of the Nile valley were a continuous population of local origin, and no major migration or re placement events occurred during this time.Studies of cranial morphology also support the use of a Nubian (Kerma) population for a comparison of the Dynastic period, as this group is likely to be more closely genetically related to the early Nile valley inhabitants than would be the Late Dynastic Egyptians, who likely experienced significant mixing with other Mediterranean
populations (Zakrzewski, 2002

The Egyptians are not Arabs, and both they and the Arabs are aware of this fact. They are Arabic-speaking, and they are Muslim indeed religion plays a greater part in their lives than it does in those either of the Syrians or the Iraqi. But the Egyptian, during the first thirty years of the [twentieth] century, was not aware of any particular bond with the Arab East... Egypt sees in the Arab cause a worthy object of real and active sympathy and, at the same time, a great and proper opportunity for the exercise of leadership, as well as for the enjoyment of its fruits. But she is still Egyptian first and Arab only in consequence, and her main interests are still domestic.
Egyptians have been in place since back in the Pleistocene and have been largely unaffected by either invasions or migrations

Egyptians are not Arab invaders who kicked the real black Egyptians out of town and into the south, your whole theory hinges on Modern Egyptians being Arab invaders which is not true, they were there at the time of the building of the pyramids.

Excellent!!! so you don't believe that rubbish about the Egyptian civilization coming from the great lakes region and travailing northwards along the Nile passing dinka tribe territory in Sudan, Kush (Nubia) and finally lower/upper Egypt

So back to the original question, who were those early people north east Asia and where did they come from, the dention should clear up the story.
I believe they were characterized as tauradonts, which is more frequent in western Eurasian and European populations, and is different from afrodonty or sinodonty.
If they were taurodonts then they, are for sure, not related to earlier homo erectus derived populations, that would have shown inscisor shoveling which is found in he.

Ok,
Luxus and Spider I think it's time for you guys to agree to disagree. It'd obvious that neither of you are going to bring the other to your side.
How many posts has this lunge/parry/riposte gone on for , over the origins of Egypt , in a thread about ancient modern humans in China.
This whole time you could have been discussing the actual subject at hand, the make up of ancient peoples in north east Asia.

But the DNA is the DNA and that shows that all modern human orginated in some part of the African continent.
Believe It Or Not Or read em and weep
If you get to the stage where you can persuade people on the evidence, that it's solid, that we are all African, that color is superficial, that stages of development of culture are all interactive, then I think we have a chance of a world that will respond better to global challenges.
