[QUOTE]Originally posted by BrandonP: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb]That percentage is FALSE and comes from a distortion of an autosomal study done by Dr. Sarah Tishkoff et al. (2004). In that study it was found that the Amhara, the dominant ethnic group in Ethiopia, has 40% Eurasian admixture. The Euronuts then spun it to mean that [i]all[/i] Ethiopians are 40% Eurasian, then they spun it further to say that all [i]Horn[/i] Africans are 40% Eurasian.[/qb][/QUOTE]How much of that ancestry is actually Eurasian to begin with? I do expect Ethio-Semitic speakers to have [i]some[/i] Arabian ancestry, since South Semitic seems to have come to the Horn from Arabia (an example of a linguistic back-migration if there ever was one, since Semitic itself originally descends from a migration of Proto-Afroasiatic into Asia). However, I doubt this research could distinguish between genuine Eurasian ancestry and pre-OOA African ancestry back in 2004. It seems probable to me that they over-estimated the amount of Eurasian in Amhara based on the overly simplistic SSA/Eurasian binary paradigm. [/QB][/QUOTE]
