We know about the Ancient Egyptians, but also the SUMERIANS?????
He does mention Sir Harry JohnstonThis does not seem like a legitimate source. This author uses too many pseudoscientific racialist words. I doubt he is a well-regarded expert.
Always do your due diligence when it comes to authors.
true it does not seem like a quality source but I find work from the 1800 and 1900 at times more reliable than modern work because modern work is too racially biased while in past people were more direct on matters forreal akhi^ Europeans from the 1800s / early 1900s were wrong on many things. I would stick to modern authors, especially those who publish peer-reviewed stuff and are respected in their field. This does not seem like a quality source.
@Apollo What is your explanation on Jews looking kind of mixed race
Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews are only 3% Sub-Saharan African, that's not a lot.

There are many Afro-Arabs in Southern Iraq, especially around Basra/Kuwait and many of the Arabs there have slave trade era (Middle Ages) admixture and are not the same as the Ancient Sumerians (4,000 BCE) who likely had none to under 3% SSA.
Levantine groups harbor 4%–15% African ancestry with an average mixture date of about 32 generations ago, consistent with close political, economic, and cultural links with Egypt in the late middle ages.
Those are tests on current modern people does that mean generations ago they probably had more African ancestry????
And why do you assume all of it is from slaves?Muslim Levantines and Iraqis mixed with black slaves over the past few centuries. Ancient Levantines had much less SSA than them. This is a common thing all over the Arab world (modern Muslim populations there have more SSA than their ancient counterparts).
And why do you assume all of it is from slaves?
I really don't think those small percentages changes the outlook of the entire populationIt all started after Islam when Arabians got dhows able to reach Zanzibar. Before that time it did not exist in the Middle East. It is obvious.
Long story short, Sumerians were less African/Black than today's Iraqis.

Am pretty sure they still look like their ancient counterparts
The Islamic period witnessed massive amounts of enslaved Sub-Saharan Africans enter the North African, South Asian and Middle-Eastern countries.And why do you assume all of it is from slaves?

Before Islam, there were hardly any Blacks in North Africa, South Asia and the Middle-East. I believe Ancient Egypt was probably the Pre-Islamic nation that had the most extensive contact with SSA people(Nilotes) through war, enslavement and trade. When Islam came, the flood gates opened for the SSA peoples.
True, the Arabian Dominant Order over West Asia, North Africa and South Asia was very similar to the Spanish dominant Order in the New World.Pax Arabica caused the first SSA expansion into West Eurasia. Today, European Liberalism is causing the second wave of which we are part.
I wouldn't say that turks where known to dominate that since the early 10th centuryTrue, the Arabian Dominant Order over West Asia, North Africa and South Asia was very similar to the Spanish dominant Order in the New World.
Arabian slave trade is always looked over.
