Pan Africanism : Were the Moors Black?

Furthermore, you are confusing classifications. "Caucasians" tend to be generally used as a RACIAL classification while the term "Elongated East Africans" is used to classify an Ethnic group within a specific "Racial" classification.

You have it wrong, Elongated East African is an anthropological term that refers to an evolutionary tendency that results from adaptation to a hotdry climate:



"but as Hiernaux (1975) states, there had long been peoples with narrow
noses and faces, and less prognathism in East Africa, and migration from Eurasia was unnecessary to explain their presence. Hiernaux calls this morphological trend ‘‘Elongated African’’ and postulates that it is the indigenous product of selection in a hotdry climate."

Its funny how you say Elongated east African is an ethnic group when you don't even know what an Elongated East African is.

Besides, your argument is flawed. You speak of a recent "Arab" geneflow INTO Ethiopia yet fail to realize the OUTFLOW from Ethiopia during a much earlier period under King Piankhy which extended the area under "Ethiopian" control into the Ganges Valley.

My oh my, where do I begin? Modern day Ethiopia is *NOT* the same as the Ethiopia that Piankhy ruled. The Ethiopia referred to in ancient times by the Greeks was in reality Nubia and modern day Ethiopia was called Abyssinia in ancient times, how many times must I correct you misinformation? There was geneflow between the area called modern day Ethiopia and southern Arabia, thats confirmed in genetic tests and there was geneflow into ancient Egypt from Nubia, no one is denying this.
 
"how many times must I correct you misinformation?"

You can quote or cite all the RACIST "geneticists" that you want.

I am of ETHIOPIAN ancestry.

The term "Abyssinian" was created by whom?

You are speaking using COLONIAL TERMINOLOGY.

Of course modern day Ethiopia is not the same as the Ethiopia that Piankhy ruled. But the people laregly are.

Egypt, Libya, Sudan, Mali, et al. are *NOT* the same as they were in PRE_COLONIAL Africa...so what!

Now here you are trying to extract Ethiopians from Ethiopia.

LMAO!

Not to be a wiseguy or anything, but you seem to spend a lot of time in this forum, trying to prove what groups in history are NOT black, using European sources and criteria.

Very interesting

Actually the quote you cited was not by brother Therious.

"Abyssinia answers to the Upper, or Eastern, Ethiopia of the Ancients."

I will leave on that point knowing this region was distinct from "Nubia" and was known as such by THE ANCIENTS.

Peace & Blessings!
