[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] ^That's where we differ. The autosomal component discussed in that link is equidistant between Eurasians and Africans. That doesn't gel with a wholesale origin in West Asia. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Manu: An Amhara who looks like Haile Selassie or the Ethiopian soccer coach Sewnet Bishaw can have very similar autosomal genetics, but still look quite different.[/QUOTE]Indeed. His "true Afar" obviously are included in the autosomal profiles he's in denial about because per Pagani et al 2012, 75% of their Afar sample have the ancestral SLC24A5 variant, which, according to various sources, accounts for ~30% skin colour differences relative to individuals who don't have it. In other words, these dark skinned Afar ARE a subset of Pagani's Afar, they are not "missing" from these samples. When you get down to the genetic material of these populations, darker skin in Lowland East Cushitic speakers simply means MORE of the same Eastern Sahara component, expressed as E-M35 and various L3 clades uniparentally or as what Hodgson et al 2014 call the "Ethio-Somali" component. Somalis, Rendille and Borana are as dark-skinned as these people get and they don't have more West-African ancestry per se than lighter skinned Ethiopians, like the Amhara. The same goes for non-Cushitic speaking Ethiopian populations like the Hamer, who once were written off as "Bantus" due to their prevalence of what has been stereotyped as African features.
