[QUOTE]Originally posted by xyyman: [QB] As more African aDNA comes out if I am a betting man I predict more “non-African” DNA will be found in ancient Africans than in modern Africans. That means more “Neanderthal” DNA will also be found in ancient Africans. They go together. All older population will have more Neanderthal/”non-African DNA even within Africa. That is why Melenesians and populations further from modern Africans will have more Neanderthal/”non-African DNA. This is not too difficult to understand. Modern Africans are admixed with a new breed of AMH, the so called Neolithics. Since Europeans also have Neolithic ancestry essentially their ancient DNA is “diluted”…..just as modern Africans. This is not rocket science. Quote Supplementals D statistics to quantify Neanderthal component We computed the statistic f4(Denisova, AltaiNea; X, Mota) / f4(Denisova, AltaiNea; X, MezNea), where Mota is the unadmixed individual, and X is the target genome.[b] Both Yoruba and Mbuti were shown to have a small Neanderthal component (Table S9)[/b], in line with their West Eurasian ancestry. As expected, estimates for French and Han were higher than for either of the two contemporary African genomes (from 0.21% in Mbuti to 2.96% in Han). [/QB][/QUOTE]
