THE PHYSICAL ANTHROPOLOGY OF THE HEBREW PEOPLES by Yair Davidiy The Israelites of old were regarded by the Egyptians as people from the land of Amuru, meaning the land of the Amorites which the Israelites conquered. Another term applied to the general Syrian area was "Retenu". The name "Upper Retenu"1. corresponded to the geographical space encompassed by the Land of Israel, according to the Bible. People from the area known as "Amuru" or "Retenu" after ca.1400 BCE were presumably Israelites. They are depicted on Egyptian monuments as red, blonde, or black-haired with frequent blue eyes and red beards. Illustrations of individuals with this appearance are automatically assumed to pertain to the Israelite or "Syrian" area. Another blonde blue-eyed people depicted on Egyptian monuments were the so-called "Libyans" and it has now been proven that these were not dwellers of "Libya" but rather of the Nile Delta and of Hebrew origin2... www.britam.org/anthropology.html

I guess Moses did look like Charleton Heston in "The Ten Commandments". Actually, vice versa.

The theory that Neanderthals interbred with homo sapiens sapiens is largely discredited. Its like trying to get a chimp to mate with an Orangutan.

I'm sure people with blue eyes and red hair were a minority.

Some people also claim that the whole of mankind came from monsters made of mud. Some claim that Semites are descendants of Neanderthals.
