Peut on associer le halotype E3b avec les anciens Kushites.
C'est la question qui vient a l'esprit apres avoir lu le livre ci dessous:

Beaucoup d'indices font pencher pour cette these:
-Les cartes illustrant les migrations et rassemblements des personnes portant le haplotype E3b(Cotes Africaines,cotes d'Oman,Yemen,Mer rouge et Maghreb,Grece,Liban,Turquie,cotes Indienens et Iraniennes)font evoquer un peuple maritime.
-Une certaine affinitee(substratum,suprastartum et adstratum)linguistique surprenante visible dans le vocablaire et quelques traits grammaticaux entre certaines langues Indiennes,Bantous et Afrasiatiques.
-L'appelation hindu-kush etc...

II. THE HISTORICAL & ETHNICAL EVIDENCE.
Populations belonging to the mela-
nian ethnic element which entered into
the Kushite formation and some of whom
still nowaday? possess by inheritance some
linguistic features, which, in anticipation
of my conclusion, I shall }et here char-
acterize as Kushite, have been known
since historical times. They formed the
ethnic substratum of the historical Kush-
ites, 21 and appear to have always inhabited
the region of the great marshes round the
Persian Gulf, where they lived in a rather
savage state, and ov-.r whom the culture
of the groat cities of the neighbourhood
soon lost their influence. The bas-reliefs
of "usiana prove to us the existence of
tribes with a strong melanian element in
t'lem, 23 though not negro, and resembling
the present inhabitants of the coast of the
Red Sea, as seen from an examination of
skeletons found last, year during some
excavations made on the site of the
palace of A'texerxes Memnon. 23 The
Assyrian bas-reliefs of Sennachtrib and
Assiubanipal exhibit the populations of
melanian features of thu marshes of the
Per-ian Gulf as coalesceing wi'h other
tribes of a more or less Mongolian type.
These melanian tribes appear to have
been the ancestors of the trbes of the
present d iy, 24 who are closely allied as an
anthropological type, to the Bisharis of
the neighbouring land of N. B. Africa.
11. \\ 7 e are thus led, from mere anthro-
pological evidence, to disclose an ever-
lasting connection between some popula-
tions of Ethiopia and others from the
shores of the Persian Gulf, in conformity

gested by anything short of fr.zzly hair, which therefore were, or had been natural to
that population.

22) Gr. Rawlinson, The Five Great Monarchies, 2nd edit., vol. ii.,p. 500, had been too
far in his opinion that they belonged to an almost pure negroid type, as this is not
countenanced either by the bas-reliefs of Koyundjik or the later discoveries. Some
Elamite trib s from the pdace of Assurbanipal at Koyundjik are reproduced in
Lenormant, Histuire Ancienne de I'Orient, 9th edit., vol. i., p. 280,
23) In 1885, the excavations of Mr. Dieulafoy in Susiana were directed on the
palace of Artaxerxes Memn^n. In the midst of the foundations was found a frieze in
bas-relief representing twelve soldiers. . . . Their faces, feet and hands are black.
From an examination of skeletons found on the site, it would appear that the early
population of Susiana must have belonged to a black race, not negroid, but resembling
the present inhabitants of the coast of the Red Sea. The Academy, July 24, 1886.

4. The Kushites ot antiquity, along
the shores of the Southern 0man from
Abyssinia to India, have remained famous
in the traditions and semi-mythological
accounts of a prehistoric period. Their
activity in trade, their boldness in seafar-
ing expeditions, and the extensive spread
of civilization which followed their efforts
have won for them a lasting fame. But
the historical data concerning their deeds
have to be inferred from shadowy and
nearly faded away traditions, lost in the
mist of antiquity, and a few vague state-
ments of historical authors only, have
been understood as countenancing these
half-forgotten souvenirs All this period
of past history has been gloriously depicted
some thirty years ago, in a series of valu-
able and most interesting papers by the
late Baron d'Eckstein, who was endowed
in an extraordinary manner with an in-
tuition of Oriental antiquity and the
talent of reviving with his pen events of
former times.
From the mouths of the Indus, the
shores of Catoch, Guzerat, Concan, and
Malabar; from the strands of Gedrosia,
Caramania and Persidia, as well as along
the windings of the Persian Gulf, we meet
with a number of mythological feats which
may be fairly attributed to them. They
marched along the shores of Arabia to
Ethiopian Africa, 8 where they spread
into the regions of Sofala ; they pene-
trated through the Straits of Bab-el-Man-
deb, advancing towards the extreme ends
of the Elanitic Gulf, Their activity over-
came these barriers. We can follow their
traces towards the Mediterranean Sea
from the Delta of Egypt to Joppa on t.ie
shores of Palestine." 9
Such names as those of Kudi for Cappa-
docia, 10 and Kassi or Kassu (N.E. Mesopo-
tamia) in the Cuneiform inscriptions;
Kush or Ethiopia; Cutch (Kachch) of
N.W. India ; the Kush of Hindu- Kush,
Kuga-Irripa and Kusistan; Kanh of Cash-
mere and others may be considered as so
many landmarks left by the Ku-hite
race ;" and the Kuch of N.E. India the
brown Kugikas of heroic times one of
the oldest Indian races, are most probably
their modern representatives, much
altered and mixed. 12
