馬切伊·亨內伯格（Maciej Henneberg，1989）紀錄了一個距今8000年的加龍文化老年女性頭骨，它與瓦迪哈勒法、現代黑人和澳大利亞土著有密切聯繫，與北非（Mechta-Afalou（英語：Mechta-Afalou），即古柏柏爾人）或者之後的原始地中海類型（卡普薩文化）的上古石器時代材料有明顯不同。頭骨具有折中的性質，一方面骨骼纖細，另一方面卻擁有較大的牙齒和沉重的下顎骨。[25]2021年S. O. Y. 凱塔的簡短報告中也得出了相似的結果，並說明了加龍文化與肯雅泰塔人（英語：Taita people）的親緣關係。[26]
然而，一些學者對這一觀點提出了質疑，他們引用了語言學、[50]體質人類學、[51]考古學[52][53][54]和遺傳學數據[55][56][57][58][59]，這些數據不支持史前時期來自黎凡特的大規模遷移假說。歷史學家威廉·斯蒂布林（William Stiebling）和考古學家蘇珊·N·赫爾夫特（Susan N. Helft）認為，這一觀點認為古埃及人與努比亞人及其他撒哈拉人是同一原始人口群體，而有一些來自阿拉伯、黎凡特、北非和印歐人的基因輸入，這些人在埃及的漫長歷史中定居於此。另一方面，斯蒂布林和赫爾夫特承認，北非人群的遺傳研究通常表明在新石器時代或更早時期有大量近東人口的湧入。他們還補充說，目前關於古埃及DNA的研究很少，無法解釋這些問題。[60]

Falkenburger also notes a great heterogeneity in the measurements taken on 1,800 Egyptian skulls. From indices expressing the shape of the face, nose and orbits, Falkenburger divides the ancient Egyptians into four types - Cro-Magnon type, Negroid type, Mediterranean type and mixed type, resulting from the mixture of the first three.

"There is no evidence, no archaeological signal, for a mass migration (settler colonization)" into Egypt from southwest Asia at the time of the writing. Core Egyptian culture was well established. A total peopling of Egypt at this time from the Near East would have meant the mass migration of Semitic speakers. The ancient Egyptian language – using the usual academic language taxonomy – is a branch within Afroasiatic with one member (not counting place of origin/urheimat is within Africa, using standard linguistic criteria based on the locale of greatest diversity, deepest branches, and least moves accounting for its five or six branches or sevem, if Ongota is counted".Template:Verify inline Keita, S.

"When Mahalanobis D2 was used,the Naqadan and Badarian Predynastic samples exhibited more similarity to Nubian, Tigrean, and some more southern series than to some mid- to late Dynasticseries from northern Egypt (Mukherjee et al., 1955). The Badarian have been found to be very similar to a Kerma sample (Kushite Sudanese), using both the Penrose statistic (Nutter, 1958) and DFA of males alone (Keita, 1990). Furthermore, Keita considered that Badarian males had a southern modal phenotype, and that together with a Naqada sample, they formed a southern Egyptian cluster as tropical variants together with a sample from Kerma".

Table 3 presents the MMD data for Badari, Qena, and Nubia in addition to Naqada and shows that these samples are all significantly different from each other. ... 1) the Naqada samples are more similar to each other than they are to the samples from the neighbouring Upper Egyptian or Lower Nubian sites and 2) the Naqada samples are more similar to the Lower Nubian protodynastic sample than they are to the geographically more proximate Egyptian samples.
"There is now a sufficient body of evidence from modern studies of skeletal remains to indicate that the ancient Egyptians, especially southern Egyptians, exhibited physical characteristics that are within the range of variation for ancient and modern indigenous peoples of the Sahara and tropical Africa. The distribution of population characteristics seems to follow a clinal pattern from south to north, which may be explained by natural selection as well as gene flow between neighboring populations. In general, the inhabitants of Upper Egypt and Nubia had the greatest biological affinity to people of the Sahara and more southerly areas". Lovell, Nancy C. Egyptians, physical anthropology of.

"Iron beads were worn in Egypt as early as 4000 B.C., but these were of meteoric iron, evidently shaped by the rubbing process used in shaping implements of stone", quoted under the heading "Columbia Encyclopedia: Iron Age" at Iron Age, Answers.com.
