Race and Identity in Ancient Egypt, Vol. I

Who were the ancient Egyptians? Where did they come from? What were the central themes permeating throughout their culture? What other African cultural groups share these principal themes? What ‘race’ were the ancient Egyptians? What were their phenotypic characteristics? How did they identify themselves? How were they described by outsiders (in terms of looks, temperament, and culture)? In terms of genetics, language, psychology, politics, ritual, and religion, what other human groups do the ancient Egyptians best cluster with? These questions and more are systematically explored in the three-volume series, Race and identity in Ancient Egypt, by Asar Imhotep.
