[edit] Hamitic

Isn't Hamitic a controversial, scientifically discredited term? At least by what I can read from the corresponding page.

I agree. The term hamitic not only lacks scientific meaning, but it is mostly associated with the "scientific" justification of colonialism from the 19th century. The term hamitic only has a linguistic meaning now, and even there it is being put out of use in favor of a georgrahical sub categorization within the Afro-Asiatic family of languages. There is no such thing as a hamitic, or for that matter semitic race.--Karmish 23:31, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Population of Egypt: real numbers?

Hello! I corrected the 76 million value to 74 million so it is consistent with the Egypt article; the value in that page was 68 million in the text, but 74. something in the stats on the top of the page. Somebody please correct if this 74 million value is wrong. Thanks! le_natch 23:01, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
