Yeah, you have to lookat migration patterns. Mant modern East Africasn came from West Africa and vice-versa.

From what I understand, most present day Egyptians are considered Indo-European, another code name for Caucasians who are not from Europe. Even many Ethiopians, Sudanese, Somalians, Eritreans, Tanzanians and Kenyans are considered to be from this sub-group.

Some do, but I personally see it as Eurocentric bias. More like Indo Europeans descend from East African stock.

Ok, SOME MODERN Egyptians are of "Euro/Indo stock" if by that YOU mean PHENOTYPICALLY and BIOLOGICALLY RELATED to Europeans of Indo-European speech.

Such INFUSIONS started with Greek MERCENARIES in AE armies, Greek colonization of Egypt and Libya, IMPORTATION of especially Circassian women, the Mameluk soldier-slaves, and the Turkish and Albanian rulership of not too long ago.

But to SAY they COMPRISE MOST of the POPULATION is truly an OVERSTATEMENT because their NUMBERS are only SIGNIFICANT in the DELATA.

LOL You would beleive that. Facial forms are much older than skin color. Light skin is a much more recent occurence. I've posted plenty on this. Surf and you will find.

Not all was rape. Plenty of marriage among the poor.

well, i dont understand what the great shocker is. the term black is not necessarily synonymous with african, per se. (altho one could make a sound argument for genetic connections, however remote.)

my family comes from all around...the us,north africa, east africa, west india, middle east (and lets not talk about extended family....geez) , but they are all black.
