Historical Argument That Was In the Wrong Forum

The oldest Egyptian individual that has been DNA sequenced lived about 2855 BCE and this link describes the results: 80% north African and 20% Mesopotamian. No Sub Saharan DNA.

There are few evidence to say the Egyptians were black, but don't change we can suppose it, but we need to put all data in the table

Acctually I think this article isn't deep enought.
What in this dude's DNA should be founded to prove it be sub-saharian Black or not.
I guess to be black need to be in the haplogroup L0, L1 or L2; All non-black humanity is from haplogroup L3.

There is only one data point from one point in time in this situation so all we actually know is that his DNA points to north African and Middle Eastern genetic heritage. More testing will add to what we know.

I need to be sincere, I'm not totaly aware what means haplogroup.
But I read in my class text about haplogroups and now I know it is important to decide if someone is african or not.

It's not really that important. Moving past such demographic definitions to embrace the problems facing us as a species are much more important. Every time demographic-based divides are focused on and emphasized, hate and acrimony always result, no matter the form of belief, or source demographic of the ones' calling for such emphasis.

To quote the ubiquitous motto from the Covid pandemic and another quote by a psychodelic rocker,

"We're all in it together,"

and,

"No one gets out of here (the world) alive."
