HISTORY There's a debate going on about somali origin, not suprisingly by somalis though, but by africans, europeans and americans , any way what do you as a somalian think about the following quotes, i never had this version before!!! article 1 about where egyptians black? Loring C. Brace is often cited as someone who's proven that the ancient Egyptians weren't black. He measures skulls and runs craniological evidence through computers, and concludes that sub-Saharan Africans are black, and Egyptians are in a group more similar to Europeans -- but he also considered Nubians and Somalis more like Europeans. And yet the evidence is there to be seen. Many modern Egyptians, many of them descendants of ancient Egyptians, look black. Why measure skulls and use a computer for this conclusion? Ethiopians and Somalis have been described as Caucasoid before; there is a double standard here, too. Scholars cannot have more than one definition of blackness - the one-drop rule for the US, and for Africa the 19th century standard of the "true Negro" of the original black race with the darkest of complexions and the most Negroid of features. In the 19th century, people in Africa without the most pronounced Negro features were not considered black. The Somalis were considered Hamitic. The differences you see in Africa were not caused by marriage with [non-African] outsiders -- Africans evolved that way. Do Somalis look more European with their features or do Europeans look more like Somalis? Article 2 the hamitic myth According to Webster's New World Dictionary a Hamite can be described as, "a member of any of several usually dark-skinned peoples of N and E Africa, including the Egyptians, Berbers, etc.8" To many this is a general description of a Black African. But to those who perpetuate this Hamitic hypothesis however this is not the case. Rather these Hamites fall conveniently into the category of Caucasian. In his work, Races of Africa, Dr. C.G. Seligman makes the following statement: …the civilizations of Africa are the civilizations of the Hamites, its history the record of these peoples and their interaction with the two other African stocks, the Negro and the Bushman, whether this influence was exerted by highly civilized Egyptians or by such wider pastoralists as are represented at the present day Beja and Somali…The incoming Hamites were pastoral Europeans--- arriving wave after wave---better armed as well as quicker witted than the dark agricultural Negroes. 9 A somewhat similar viewpoint is held by Dr. Donald Weidner in his work, A Short History of Africa South of the Sahara: Caspian types also began to appear in western Kenya. They are known variously as Caspian people, early Cushites or early Hamites…These people, it is believed, migrated northeastward into Arabia and western Asia as well as northwestward into Egypt and North Africa. Recent scholars (notably Joseph H. Greenberg) have suggested that the term Cushite be applied to this parent of the Caucasian race, and that their basic language be Afroasiatic (formerly Hamitic)…Cushites who were developing Caucasian characteristics penetrated Egypt about 5,000 B.C.10 Though similar in theme, unlike Seligman, Weidner places these Hamites as originating in the heart of Africa itself, as far as Kenya., and migrating northward. But in accordance with Seligman he readily identifies them with Caucasians. when these Caucasian cranial traits were found to exist in certain Nile Valley populations, it was assumed that these Africans were either Caucasians or hybrids of Caucasians and Africans. These Hamites are also known as members of the Brown race, Mediterranean race, Eurafricans, dark-whites Seligman links the "highly civilized Egyptians" with the Beja and Somali, he identifies them as Hamites who themselves are separated from "the Negro and the Bushman." In fact these Hamites, who may have reached as far as Somalia, are classified as "pastoral Europeans." Sir Grafton Elliot Smith was the next figure to whom Reynolds attributed the proliferation of the Mediterranean myth. A Professor of Anatomy at Cairo's Egyptian Museum in the early 1900s, Smith based his findings on his examination of a wide variety of human bodies belonging to predynastic and dynastic Egyptians. His findings revealed what he described as people having an effeminate and frail build, poorly developed eyebrows, small broad noses and slight prognathism.15. But he classifies these people of predynastic and dynastic times as members of the Brown race and, according to Reynolds, vehemently "rejected the thought of a Negroid or Black affiliation of the type generally called Hamitic or Brown."16 Reynolds makes the following summary of Smith's findings: Smith initially designated this type the Brown race on the basis of the coloring of the ancient Egyptian iconography and, secondly, because of what he considered to be the close osteological and cranial affinities with the mainly Cushitic-speaking peoples of East Africa, now called Bedja, Somali, Beni Amer, and Oroma (Galla) in Sudan, Ethiopia,

Salaam to my dearest sister I miss you and the kids)! Will call soon as I am done with Examz..Promise): A part from that, I do agree with you to some point about Papa America. But let us not blame only Papa America for the mistreatment of the Palestinian people. I think more then anything this is a war againest Islam, and it seems that the Muslim people well at least for those who have power are doing nothing to help out the Palestine people! My prayers are with them, and like you metioned above we will win at the end!!! Safi's sis..

The most...well let's just say,,I use to fall asleep. Was Anthropology class, the subject was interesting but the prof...sucked..he never knew what he was talking about, and since he has been teaching this course didn't care to change anything for thirty years???????.....It was a drag!!!

"In all of us there is a hunger, marrow deep, to know our heritage to know who we are and where we came from. Without this enriching knowledge, there is a hollo yearning. No matter what our attainments in life, there is still a vacuum, an emptiness, and the most disquieting loneliness." I think that said the best! ayaan

nayaa hibo: This is your MSU, family, you were missing for some days. Please come home. Just kidding girl, honestly that was beautiful poem. You are deep as hell, as always!!!! For the people:::Make your own chioces, Hibo is not preaching, she is expressing herself..to her beloved... peace

Hibo walaal: that was beautiful. You are truly gifted, may Allah bless your heart!.... I won't even get to it...Hibo said it best!!!! see ya

lol... i didn't know they celebrated death.....wow.....I guess great minds think a like!!!! i have to go to class...... ayaan

gacaliso; how sweet, you finally shared that letter...any who you have read it to, me and I thought it was beautiful...and perhaps someday you can thank ...Mr..(M)..for doing such a wonderful job, that is if he is still avaliable.... see ya girl

This may sound weird, but I think death should be something celebrated . There is ending to everything, and we all know that. We cry when we lose a loved, one, but at the same time we move on. As far as other stuff, don't worry we are not alone.... ayaan

Well: Re-examine? What do we have here, another case, of a purely brokenhearted brother. I do coincide with the reality that the genuineness does upset, but it is the best thing at the end. Nevertheless, you are a bit generalizing, if you feel that in your heart Somali girls neither are worth your time nor energy, then move on. It is that simple. There are too many Somali brothers who are willing to call them queens, and praise them, whether they are bad mannered, or classy. In another words, we don’t need you to substantiate our lives for us, we can do bad ourselves (if you can only comprehend what that means)!!!!!!!!! Rent a freaking life while you are at it … Ayaan Mohamed

Honest to Allah, there was time that I use to think my mom was my worst enemy, but then I did a lot of growing up, went through a lot of expreinces, and I think it's something most people (especially girls go through). At the end of the it's mom that has your back, it's mom that hides your worst sectret, it'st mom that let's you get away with murder. Parents need to understand that not every child will turn out exaxtly the way they visioned them to be. That sometimes it's okay to let it go, to let your child be all that they can be. Love them, guide them, and show them the right path, so later on they can look back at this and say >>mom dad,,you have done a wonderful job raising me. As girls we will always hold special places with our moms, and no matter who we bring home, he will never be good enough for us, but then they learn to love him as one of theirs, when they see that he respects, and wants the best for you as well...I know I am going over board with this, but Xafsa I agree with Hibo..we can do something about the duqda guriga, waxaan kuudiraynaa cellbuur...where ever that is...(just kidding)!! Thanks for bringing this up as you can see my fingers won't quit..what have you done???

First of all MSU, in da house. Hibo,,stop it, that was my dream. Well hopefully, I will be back home, in like meel duur ah, a little cariish, hal ari, dooro iyo diiq (I need the protein ya know), maxaa kale, buugaag aan akhiriyo, and last but not least ceel(H2o,is important)....and maybe some husband, that is if he behaves well...and Insha Allah, my mom could be there too.........
