S.O.Y. Keita - The Bio Cultural Origins of Egypt - Part 5

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!

haha, I really don't understand how a graduate student from Cambridge is so narrow minded when it comes to race and is so hung up on Cleopatra resembling Elizabeth Taylor, just plain foolishness. And then, he had the nerve to argue, after he was given explanation and empirical proof to debunk his ignorance omg! I really don't like students who waste class time on them talkn' and arguing w/ the prof.

@Jiggahata1 Because it take a long time for people to wrap their hands around a concepts like "Negroid being scientifically bankrupt" or "There are no genetic races". When introduced to these arguments for the first time they will not understand it until they have dont the research for themselves. He tried to push Keita into using terms like "Black" and or "Negro" but Keita was trying to be precise in up to date science and wasn't having it.

@Jiggahata1 DNAtribescom have released info on the Amarna kings which includes King Tut and they have traced his ancestry back to Southern Africa & the tropics of Africa. The info was released about a week ago.

@richbullva Concise Oxford English Dictionary © 2008 Oxford University Press:

NEGROID

adjective relating to the division of humankind represented by the indigenous peoples of central and southern Africa.

USAGE: The TERM NEGROID BELONGS to a SET of TERMS INTRODUCED by 19th-CENTURY ANTHROPOLOGISTS ATTEMPTING to CATEGORIZE THE HUMAN RACES. SUCH TERMS are ASSOCIATED with OUTDATED NOTIONS of RACIAL TYPES, and so are now POTENTIALLY OFFENSIVE and BEST AVOIDED.

What about the rest of the chromosomes, not those that define lineage? I'd love to talk to him in person, cause there are a lot of questions he rises with things he says
