[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Manu: The Tel Amarna mummies STR results aren't that surprising. All they show us is that the Ancient Egyptians had an indigenous African component, which had been speculated about for a while now.[/QUOTE]Talk about a U-turn. You were crying about the results, now you say that the "results aren't that surprising". The results say more than the idea that the ancient Egyptians had "an indigenous African component". They say that they were *mainly* indigenous Africans, not that they had "an" indigenous component. They also say that the ancient Egyptians had a gene pool that was obviously different from certain known samples from among modern Egyptians, and that the ancient Egyptian specimens in question, had a gene pool pattern that best approximates those found in contemporary Southern African samples, and around the Great lakes region. Samples from western Africa did not fall behind too far either, in this respect. These results upset your stereotypes of Ancient Egyptians resembling modern people in the African Horn. That's what got your pants bunched up; ain't that true, Manu? [QUOTE]If we were to test them with more markers I'm sure their primary African component would be Cushitic.[/QUOTE]Prove it!
