Population changes in Egypt and Nubia

Abstract

There appears to have existed a basic population type stretching over the wide centralarea limited to the North (Middle Egypt) by a morphological type with a broad skull and to the South by the Nubian groups having negroid traits. The history of the population changes in Egypt and Nubia up to the Roman period can be explained as a result of infiltrations in both directions of these two marginal groups, varying in direction throughout the period.
