[QUOTE]Originally posted by Amun-Ra The Ultimate: [QB] This study is another great news for the ancient peopling of the Nile Valley and the region. Mota is dated around 4500 years ago (so around 2000 BC) and there's no evidence of Eurasian DNA. If there was some it must have been in small proportion. Before this study we had the Hassan study as well as the DNA of Ancient Egyptian mummies (BMJ, JAMA, old Paabo).

We can see the Eurasian haplogroups start to appear during the christian era. We also have this study dating the Eurasian admixture in modern Egyptians to 750 years ago. [QUOTE]Using ADMIXTURE and principal-component analysis (PCA) (Figure 1A), we estimated the average proportion of non-African ancestry in the Egyptians to be 80% and dated the midpoint of the admixture event by using ALDER20 to around 750 years ago (Table S2), consistent with the Islamic expansion and dates reported previously.
