古埃及人种和皇室基因类型的“权威数据”
在一个英文网站,有一个关于古埃及人是什么人种问题的大讨论,有1000多个评论。有个“非洲中心主义者”评论:古埃及人就是非洲土著。帖子主题也说到:古埃及壁画显示古埃及人有金色皮肤,不同于利比亚的高加索白人和努比亚的黑人。古埃及记录也写到:黑人是作为奴隶用的外国人。古埃及人评论黑人不够聪明,但他们是优秀的运动员、演员和音乐家。古埃及人非常明确地不是黑人。

在后面其中一个评论则看上去比较权威。

Hi Jennie, as an Egypt studies major, here is what we learned this past semester in my African Haplotypes class. Ancient Egyptians were approximately:
嗨,珍妮,作为埃及研究专业,这是我过去学期在我的非洲单倍群(Haplotypes)课上学到的。古埃及人大概是:
68% Negroid (sub-saharan) 黑人(撒哈拉以南)
22% Mongoloid (far east) 蒙古人种(远东)
8% Indo European 印欧人
2% Pre-Arab Semitic 前阿拉伯闪米特人
(按照这个评论者口气,这个数据是大学课上的专业内容。)
While predominantly black, they are truly a mix. In our class the data used was a composite of genetic material from mummies, and DNA/RNA from many familial burial plots. These plots were located throughout Egypt, and are basically a poor man’s resting place. Sand burials. Both the royal lineage and the “everyday man” shows the same markers for the percentages.
虽然主要是黑人,但它们是真正的混合。在我们课上,使用的数据是木乃伊的遗传物质和许多家族墓地的DNA / RNA的复合物。这些墓地遍布埃及,基本上是一个穷人的墓地。对于这个百分比,“皇室血统”和“日常人”则显示了相同的标记。
Egyptians were a mix, much like Greeks, Polynesians, Peruvians, (Americans) and most ethnic groups. Most people today would classify Egyptians as black, as that is well over half of their DNA. They would have looked much like Egyptians today, with more texture in their hair (according to my Prof at Brown University) I identify myself as white (Caucasian) though my maternal grandmother is from India. I look white. The Egyptians did not look completely Negroid, the way most people would picture someone from Ghana, but they were black with Asian, Indian, and Semitic ancestry as well. I think to suggest that these ancient peoples; who influenced many of our modern ideals including culture and government were white, is uninformed. In some cases, it is a surpressed truth, and very unfortunate for the Blacks of today. Hopfully this will not be the case as more people attend Universities, become better educated, and drop the longstanding prejudices so common in these times.
埃及人很杂,很像希腊人、波利尼西亚人、 秘鲁人、(美洲人),和大多数族裔群体。今天大多数人会把古埃及人认为是黑人,因为那是他们DNA的一半以上。根据我的布朗大学教授所说,他们看起来很像有更多纹理头发的今天埃及人。我自认为自己是白人(高加索人),虽然我的外祖母来自印度。我看起来白。埃及人看起来完全不像大多数人描绘的象加纳人那么黑,实际上他们更像亚洲人、印度人、闪米特人祖先那种“黑”。我认为,把这些影响了我们现代文化和政府许多理念的古代族群认为是白人,也是无知的。在某些情况下,它是一个被压制的真理,为今天的黑人感到非常遗憾。希望将来不再是这种情况,因为有更多人上大学,接受更好的教育,他们会抛弃这些时间长期存在的普遍偏见。
(综合评论者所要表达意思:针对上面这个百分比,古埃及的“皇室血统”和“日常人”有相同的基因标记。但不是黑人和白人的(包括印欧人和闪米特人)。剩下的当然是指22%的远东“蒙古人种”才是我们理解的古埃及皇室和日常古埃及人。目前这个真相还被压制着,希望将来不再是这种情况。)
