Take out Euro and replace the Asia with Southern Yemenies, and replace East Africa with Horn of Africa, than I would agree with him 100%.

We've gone over this many times. That statement means not much other than, as pointed out earlier, within the narrow context of:

"East Africans are more related to Eurasians than to other African populations. Investigations of Y chromosome markers have shown that the East African populations were not significantly affected by the east bound Bantu expansion that took place approximately 3500 years ago, while a significant contact to Arab and Middle East populations can be deduced from the present distribution of the Y chromosomes in these areas. The Y chromosome haplogroup E3a is found at high frequencies in the sub-Saharan, Bantu-speaking populations but at low frequencies in East Africa, while Eurasian haplogroups like J and K are found at various frequencies in East Africa."

Now from reading this entire passage and not resorting to your patchwork distortion methods, we can see that Sanchez et tal considers East Africans more related Eurasians because East Africans have *NOT* been significantly affected by contact with E3a carriers while being affected by haplogroups J and K carriers from the Middle East. Thus, since they have been more impacted by the latter[Middle Easterners as represented by haplogroups J and K which is understandable due to their geographical proximity ] and less by E3a it makes sense that he would say East Africans share a closer relationship with Eurasians, at no point does he ever give the impression that E3b1 makes East Africans more Eurasian. You're a stupid distorter and as usual, your inability to read as well as your propensity to distort[you even put your distortion backwards] have exposed you for the babbling idiot you are. Go back to school and learn reading comprehension you fool.
