S.O.Y. Keita - The Bio Cultural Origins of Egypt - Part 1

Shomarka Omar Yahya M.D., DPhil., née Jon Derryll Walker, is an African American physician and anthropologist. He is affiliated with the National Human Genome Center of Howard University and the Department of Anthropology of the Smithsonian Institution. He has been interested in the origins of the concepts of race, the misconception of human variation as race, and the scientific approaches to the biocultural origins and histories of indigenous African peoples.

In this 6 Part Lecture Keita speaks on the "Bio-Cultural" Origins and aspects of the Ancient populations of the Nile Valley. He includes details on the Afro-Asiatic Language Family, Genetics of the P2 Clade, Skull Measurements and Limb Proportions.
ENJOY!

Notice the desperate STUPIDITY of "phoenician7" who cannot differentiate "AfroAsiatic" from "Semitic"

Quite frankly i am TIRED of going back and forth with this ignoramus on this issue. How can people who speak a branch of an African language family NOT have influence FROM Africa?

That would be like "Mexicans" speaking Spanish but having NEVER been colonized nor influenced by SPAIN! Or NATIVE South Africans speaking Afrikaans with ZERO input or migration from the Dutch!

AMAZING STUPIDITY!

[AfricaTeacher]

You still dont get it.

"Afrikaans" is an Indo European language spoken AND CREATED in Africa. In order for this Indo-European language to be in Africa it must be BROUGHT by Europeans because AFRICANS didnt speak Indo-European languages. Native Africans WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CREATE AN INDO EUROPEAN LANGUAGE!

The same can be said for Semitic.

Since it comes FROM Afro-Asiatic and A.A. has an origin in AFRICA then AFRICANS must have brought TO Asians because A.A. is NOT NATIVE TO ASIA!

@phoenician7 i have seen your silly constructed videos

what makes you think you are connected to egypt

how silly

[bigshirtblue]

@phoenician7 well here you can not block me.

just run and tuck your redneckcentric comments

[bumperboy2sports]

@AfricaTeacher...THESE SILLY ASS EURO-CENTRICS ARE EVERY BIT AS FUCKING STUPID...I HATE WATCHING VIDEOS ON THE KEMET CULTURE AND THESE STUPID ASS EURO-CENTRICS REFER TO THE NUBIANS AS THE BLACK PHARAOHS...AS IF THE EGYPTIAN PHARAOHS WEREN'T BLACK...THESE CLOWNS NEED TO BE SOCKED RIGHT IN THEIR FUCKING FACES!!

[aminimaleffort]

Howard university, hahahahaha!

[davidcici11]

I also have not commented on this video in six months, so I most likely commented the wrong person I am not entirely sure but your argument clearly makes me question if you were the one who responded to one of my comments. My mistake if I accidently commented you by mistake.

[davidcici11]

not solely atleast. And thanks for the quote nice one.

[davidcici11]

@JungleCityKilla oh no, don't get me wrong I don't confine to terms such as Negroid, or Caucasoid. I was just telling you a trend in Upper Egypt. Both are fundamentally African so it is rendered pointless to use one to mean Eurasian or African because their both African to begin with.

Yes, I know Keita doesn't use those terms in a taxonomy sense, but he did point out findings of Negroid tendencies in earlier anthropological works, Ancient Egyptians weren't just Elongated East Africans
