[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] The point about the one drop rule and all the "hype" about Levantine K lineages is this. If some Thuyas grand mom or great great grand mom was Levantine but the rest of the family was African then what? Are we going to say that Thuya is "Levantine"? Seriously? One great great grand mom makes you Levantine? That is absurd and that is what is going on here. Since MtDna and Y Male DNA gets passed down through multiple generations, the presence of a lineage does not imply continuous mixing. Likewise a few "Levantine weavers" in Middle Kingdom or later Egypt does not make all of the Nile Valley Africans suddenly "Levantine transplants" either. This is the simplistic propaganda that is being put on display with all of these papers and some of the discussions taking place around them. Anything and everything to downplay African ancestry in the Nile valley. Also, even if a pharaoh had children by foreign concubines we know the succession order was based on the great royal wife who always had to be of Sudani/Upper Egyptian ancestry. Both Thuya and Tiye fit that profile as did most of the Middle Kingdom and New Kingdom ruling families. God's Wife of Amun was a powerful institution tied to Kingship and Queenship both originating from further South and we know there was continuous flow of populations from the South. So any discussion about DNA from the Valley not reflecting that flow and purely being of "Levantine" extract is pretty much nonsense. And beyond the Nile Valley populations there is always going to be the question of other African populations in the Sahara, Chad and into Central Africa. [/QB][/QUOTE]
