`   ^You're extremely ignorant, prove what you say with a source..  You can't possibly be being serious! The INDIGENOUS North Africans looked pretty much what modern-day North Africans look like, Caucasoid. Caucasoid is a real racial term also, having to say so is pretty sad really.   ^No it is not a 'real' racial term, I've provided sources that beg to differ with your unprofessional, unexperienced claims.. ``Caucasoid`` is a myth to make certain people feel better.  Also, INDIGENOUS Southern Africans aren't bl;ack either they're Khoisan/Capoid. Also if Africa has the largest degree of diversity in the whole world, how can you believe in a single ``African`` or ``black`` race? Check out the Racial reality sight, or John Baker or Carelton coon's books which blow your politically correct Diop-esque nonsense right out of the water.  ``Black`` is a social term, and there is no such thing as a ``Capoid``, the genetic data doesn't mean to back up that category at all, Khoisan are closely related to pygmies, then to West Africans, there is no break in the genetic link that describes any different type of 'race'..   Quote: Capoid (named after Cape Province, South Africa) along with congoid are one of the two major divisions within the Negroid race http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capoid  ^Haha, don't make me laugh, you are not intelligent at all... I'd also expect you to quote an outdated race scientist like Coon, you've obviously been living under a rock for the past 10 years and haven't heard about the Pn2 clade (that unites all Africans, north, south, east, west, and doesn't include so-called ``Caucasoids``) that I posted in the section above you. http://mbe.library.arizona.edu/data/1994/1105/4hamm.pdf  http://www.homestead.com/wysinger/Northeast_african_analysis.pdf  Also, I never said ``so-called Caucasoids`` don't live there now, but they're foreigners, all of them are Arab. Berbers are evenly mixed and so are southern Egyptians and some Ethiopians. Seeing as how ``Caucasoid`` isn't a real race (check my sources again), that makes them ``Black``, because ``Black``, Africoid, Negro, Native African, all the same shit to me when speaking socially, as far as genetic relationships this is confirmed also (check the links I posted above)....  Also, just so you know, originally Africans were only hose Caucasoid peoples that lived in what is present-day Tunisia. As a Caucasoid descendant of Phoenicians, as all Phoenician-descended people are Caucasoids, I find it quite flattering that you Negroids are claiming ``African`` as your ``badge``, but true Africans resemble present-day Arabs, Italians, Jews, Greeks etc Caucasoid Mediterraneans.  Hahahaha!! I love it when people like you say idiotic things, It gives me a chance to show off how much less-ignorant I am than you are. Phonecians were never native to Africa. They were the Canaanites of the bible and migrated to the North African coast in Tunsia in like 1,000 B.C... They were not indigenous to Africa.  Quote: Phoenicia was an ancient civilization centered in the north of ancient Canaan, with its heartland along the coastal plains of what is now Lebanon and Syria http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonecia  First skeleton ever found in Egypt! (And no, it didn't even resemble a so-called ``Caucasoid``.  1980 Discovery in Upper Egypt:  35,000-30,000 years ago: ``Oldest human skeleton found in Egypt``. Nazlet Khater man was the earliest modern human skeleton found near Luxor, in 1980. The remains was dated from between 35,000 and 30,000 years ago. The report regarding the racial affinity of this skeleton concludes: ``Strong alveolar prognathism combined with fossa praenasalis in an African skull is suggestive of Negroid morphology [form & structure]. The radio-humeral index of Nazlet Khater is practically the same as the mean of Taforalt (76.6). According to Ferembach (1965) this value is near to the Negroid average.`` The burial was of a young man of 17-20 years old, whose skeleton lay in a 160cm- long narrow ditch aligned from east to west. A flint tool, which was laid carefully on the bottom of the grave, dates the burial as contemporaneous with a nearby flint quarry. The morphological features of the Nazlet Khater skeleton were analysed by Thoma (1984). The 35,000 year old skeleton was examined using multivariate statistical procedures. In the first part, principal components analysis is performed on a dataset of mandible dimensions of 220 fossils, sub-fossils and modern specimens, ranging in time from the Late Pleistocene to recent and restricted in space to the African continent and Southern Levant.
