There is, in fact, considerable archaeological and anthropological evidence that ancient India was the source of ancient Egyptian civilization. The ancient black Indians, known as "Dravidians", (who in ancient times were also known by the Greeks and Egyptians as "Ethiopians") built and laid out ancient Egyptian civilization and, no doubt, in the process also mixed with their black brethren in Africa. The ancient Egyptians, themselves, admitted in their writings that they received their civilization and culture from the Ethiopians, another black "race".
Indian Origin of Egyptian Civilization
DNA from mummies if available and unbiased would tell for sure ?
How about the Neanderthal DNA that exists in all Humans except for pure Africans ?
Where did the Neanderthals originate then ?
Certainly not Africa if no Neanderthal DNA is present ?
How much Neanderthal existed in "Egyptian" Humans ?
I thought one Egyptian Pharaoh was proven to have Nordic DNA.
The article suggests that Indian and Black Africans were "Egyptian" over the centuries.

I'd have to add it up but there has been alot of war started in Africa and they may very well be leading the pack in that statistic if you go throughout history.
Despite the refusal of the Secretary General of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities, Zahi Hawass, to release any DNA results which might indicate the racial ancestry of Pharaoh Tutankhamen, the leaked results reveal that King Tut’s DNA is a 99.6 percent match with Western European Y chromosomes.
The DNA test results were inadvertently revealed on a Discovery Channel TV documentary filmed with Hawass’s permission — but it seems as if the Egyptian failed to spot the giveaway part of the documentary which revealed the test results.
Hawass previously announced that he would not release the racial DNA results of Egyptian mummies — obviously because he feared the consequences of such a revelation.
But the truth is, the ancient Egyptians were not white. Neither were they pure black. The ancient Egyptians were a mixed-race people, especially in Upper Egypt, where Egyptian civilization began. While the earliest inhabitants, the Tasians, are believed to have been of Cro-Magnoid stock, the predynastic Badarian period which starts at 5500 B.C. in Upper Egypt, was quite Negroid.

I have read it too - very interesting indeed but he admittedly makes a few tenuous connections.
You might enjoy this piece written by him for Discovery Magazine it was also covered in the book if my memory serves me.
How Africa Became Black
Using the distribution of various languages to reveal major migrations by the Bantu people and its effect on the Khoisan, Pygmies etc.

Nope when you add all wars, including civil wars, Africa by far leads other continents.
There has never been a time when there wasn't a war somewhere in Africa actually.
