[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness: 1) In fact, MLI scores do the exact opposite, they show all the possible regions associated with the little bit of genetic material that the Pharaonic alleles embody. 2) It’s much more likely that we’re dealing with very widespread genetic material, which existed in some of the aboriginal, pre-Berber/Afro-Asiatic speaking Northern Africans as well. 3) On the basis of this data, it is impossible to say the Amarna family members were partly from this region, and partly from that region. [/QUOTE]what if someone were to say modern South and West Africans on average have more ancient Egyptian ancestry than Ethiopians and Southern Sudanese? [/qb][/QUOTE]Then I'd call that bogus. Any of the above groups might have more ancestry [i]in common[/i] with the Amarna family, but there is no justification in the data to support that the genetic heritage can be assigned to a region (in this case the region you're assigning it to is Egypt, by calling the ancestry 'Egyptian'). You can give the unsupported conjecture a different coat (attempting to call the ancestry Great Lakes, or Egyptian, or some other region), but it remains unsupported conjecture. Your questions are redundant, and the answers can be found both in DNA Tribes' announcements, as well as my replies to Amun Ra. [QUOTE]Originally posted by beyoku: [QUOTE] [b]Q: What are MLI scores?[/b] A: Each DNA Tribes Native and Global Population Match and World Region Match is listed with a [b]Match Likelihood Index (MLI) score that indicates your odds of belonging to that population relative to your odds of belonging to a generic human population.[/b] For instance, a Native Population Match with Macedonia scored 45.2 indicates your genetic ancestry is [b]45.2 times as likely [/b] in Macedonia as in the world. Population and world region match results are provided in a ranked listing, from most likely to least likely. Top ranked scores indicate your best population or regional matches in the DNA Tribes database. All matches can be compared against each other as odds ratios. [b]For instance, if you obtain a score of 25.0 for Bavarian and 5.0 for Macedonian, this means your genetic profile is 25.0/5.0 = 5.0 times as likely to be Bavarian as Macedonian.[/b] [/QUOTE][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
