[QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova: [QB] On Greek - subSaharan links: From Arnaiz-Villena's study on Palestinians and Jews. "COntroversy" erupted because the study suggested that Palestinians and Jews were genetically related and that the Jews may not be all that distinct after all. But this "controversy" has nothing to do with the Greek-African data which is a separate matter.. While the amount of admixture is small, there is clear evidence of some linkage going back to ancient times, QUOTE: [i] "Greeks are found to have a substantial HLA gene flow from sub-Saharan Ethiopian and Black people [3,20]. This is why Greeks are Mediterranean outliers in all kind of analyses [19-21,28]. This African genetic and cultural input was documented by Herodotus [33] who states that the daughters of Danaus (who were black) came from Egypt in great numbers to settle in Greece. Also, ancient Greeks believed that their religion and culture came from Egypt [33]. An explanation of the Egypt-to-Greece migration may be that a densely populated Sahara (before 5000 BC) may have contained an admixture of Negroid and Caucasoid populations, and some of the Negroid populations may have migrated by chance or unknown causes towards present day Greece [19,34-36]. This could have occurred when hyperarid Saharan condition become established and large-scale migration occurred in all directions out from the desert. In this case, the most ancient Greek Pelasgian substratum would come from a Negroid stock. A more likely explanation is that at an undetermined time during Egyptian pharaonic times a Black dynasty with their followers were expelled and went towards Greece where they settled [20, 30]."[/i] --Antonio Arnaiz-Villena, et al. 2001.
