I am left with a lingering question after taking a black history college course that insisted (both text and professor) that the ancient Egyptians were black Africans. Many plausible reasons were given for this hypothesis. I asked the professor, however, why the Egyptians depicted themselves in art as having (among other non-African features) quite elongated ears, while black Africans by nature have very small, round ears that are close to the head. He admitted he did not have an answer for this. I'd appreciate others' thoughts on this. Thanks.
