This work attempts to reconstruct the Proto-Afrasian (Afroasiatic) phonological system, laying out the regular sound correspondences upon which that reconstruction is based. The core of the book contains a set of examples from the Afrasian daughter languages designed to illustrate those sound correspondences.

The problem with Bomhard's book is that it makes the assumption that Afro-Asiatic is a reality without any proof of concept via the comparative method. The proper procedure is to establish the relationship of families via the comparative method, establish the sound laws, reconstruct the parent language so that one can establish the rules for the inclusion and exclusion of the language family, and then test other languages upon that data and refine the model. This was never done. And thus, he starts off with a faulty premise and a wide-ranging semantic spectrum, which renders his results unuseable.

Where have I heard this before? He! He! HE!

"One can easily argue that the middle east and mesopotamia are just extensions of, or part of the main African complex"

I will start using it. Africasia

I stated it in the post you quoted. You will have to take an introductory course on comparative linguistics to begin to fully understand why what I said is important.

Take an introductory course on how to do comparative linguistics. Then you'll know enough to ask meaningful questions. We've been through this already, and I don't like to repeat myself.

Many studied in comparative linguistics would not agree that Semitic is not part of this family


quote:
Now no one who has worked at Egyptian can possibly doubt that there are many Semitic words in the language, or that many of the pronouns, some of the numbers, and some of its grammatical forms resemble those found in the Semitic languages. But even admitting all the similarities that Erman [Grapow] has claimed, it is still impossible for me to believe that Egyptian is a Semitic language fundamentally.

--Obenga, from the French

If so but in looking at Semitic that doesn't necessarily mean Semitic is not part of the same language family as Egyptian as is suggested by this chart, it could be descendant not an ancestor but it is left out of this chart. Was the baby thrown out with the bath water?

supra-Sahara needs more mileage too

What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, eh?

Early-Mid Holocene Intra-Saharans
indeed were largely ex-Lakers with
many former Mid Nile Basin folk
plus some used-to-be supra-Saharans.

The former being Sudano-Saharan
the latter being Gafsian (Capsian).


True DNAtribes is scientifically unquotable
but I replicated/vetted their conclusions
using popStr and NE Afr 'CODIS' tables.

Believe me, it wasn't as simple as plopping
figures into the PopAffiliator for percentages
that don't yield precise geo-ethnicities.

Since my question was cut in half due to time it seems Dr. Keita got an incorrect impression of what i was trying to ask therefore the whole discussion of "Africasia" really didnt relate.

The "Eurasia" in the context i was speaking of was brought up to only to highlight their abundance of ancient samples and how they were able to do a better job at reconstructing their ancient population history better than practically anyone else on the globe:

quote:
The genetic community has seen a lot of ancient Eurasian samples over the past few years. There are multiple lines of evidnce showing genetic turnovers in Eurasia. Differnet levels of genetic substructure some of which are quite widespread connect dislocated populations like "Basal Eurasian" and "ANE". While i am not too versed in European genetics it would seem that populations from the Neolithic Near East and Eurasian Steppes were some of the most sucessful latecomers in terms of Uni-Parental DNA, autosomal data and especially language. There have also been some surprises, one being that the main male Haplogroup in Europeans (R), derives from a subclade of the South East Asian lineaege of K2b2.
Take western Europeans: A combination of a WHG Base, with heavy Anatolia and Iran neolithic influences, with later Steppe Pastoral ancestry from their lingusitic forebearers and a dash of African....then analyze these layers with the wide ranging conepts of ANE and basal Eurasian. This has not been done for Africa. Instead they looking at us like the whole continent is Mbuti, Yoruba, and Dzudzuana. The studies we get are woefully inadequate. The East African pastoralist paper is so bad you would think they are analyzing contemporary samples. I was looking for the inside scoop. How he would hypothesize the genetic affinity of the Pastoral Neolithic in Afica, Wavy line potters, Proto Niger kordofanians, Auqialithic etc.....

DOUG SAID:

And during the New Kingdom Kush was a defacto part of the Dynastic Kingdom

On what basis do you say this? Kemet dominated large parts of the area known as "Nubia"
by some in NK, but Kingdom of Kush was an independent entity in its own right, and
indeed, Kush almost overran Egypt centuries before the so-called 25th "kushite" Dynasty.

 -


the Ram headed deity said to be enthroned in Jebel Barkal which is way south of Aswan. And from that time to the late period the Southern parts of the country had their own defacto rulers in the form of the high priests of Amun who were associated with the Southern territories as an extension of their power base.Not to mention the fact that many of the chief dieties besides Amun originated in the South, such as Hathor, Bes, Nekhbet, Khnum, Amun, Satis, Set, etc.....

Indeed. This shows that the southern regions still retained important influence.


The point here is that the Ancient Egyptians and their neighbors to the south should cluster together first as a Nilotic sub component before any population anywhere else. And this is the basic fundamental genetic relationship that should exist in any kind of DNA research. Not relationships to "Eurasia" or West Africa or Central Africa, which are more distant than the core Nile Valley base genetic profile. But they don't WANT to find that base profile and this is the problem. They want to do everything they can to avoid that. Someone like Keita who is not following any "agendas" should be able to show those foundational relationships.

They do cluster together first as has been shown by various studies, but to be sure the
desire in some quarters is that "EUrasian" linkages be prominent. There are such linkages
of course, as KEmet could not be isolated from Palestine and the Mediterranean over
the centuries. But Keita has already shown the primary relationship time and again.

Note, that on the original post was given the topics that would be discussed. The program stayed true to the original posting.

Yes. Any notion that Dr. Keita would address technical minutiae
from certain narrow studies (some of which he has already addressed before),
in a relatively short discussion, with other people in attendance
still waiting to get in their questions, seems somewhat unrealistic.
The field is a large one, covering everything from general Egyptian history,
to DNA sampling, to stereotypes and "racial science", to even
effects on president day culture as evidenced by his reference to the
soul singer and his own roots in the first interview. He works
on a broad palette of legitimate topics, not a narrow one.
The interview was about what would have been expected.

I have a couple of questions I hope you can answer regarding the data for the Abusir mummies downloaded from the paper -

Ancient Egyptian mummy genomes suggest an increase of Sub-Saharan African ancestry in post-Roman periods

1. It looks like the CODIS STRs were removed. Can you tell me why?
2. What were the CODIS STRs?

If you are unable to get Schuemann, to send you a reply (I commend you by
the way for asking), how do you expect Dr Keita to have all these answers
on technical minutiae in a relatively brief interview, with several people
queuing up to have their own set of questions answered?

Basal Eurasian is hypothesized to be 80 thousand years old. Older than OOA, so its African.

So L. Pereira has jumped in on this discussion.(this came out today. April-28-2020)

quote from Keita paper

"chromosome haplogroup E1b1a, an old African lineage7 . Our analysis of STRs from Amarna and Ramesside royal mummies with popAffiliator18 based on the same published data5,6 indicates a 41.7% to 93.9% probability of SSA affinities (see Table 1); most of the individuals had a greater probability of affiliation with “SSA” which is not the only way to be “African” a point worth repeating."

How did this paper just come out today when the response was an immediate one two or three years ago? I posted the entire response in the first Shomarka Keita interview thread, which made me question why you were asking malformed questions on issues which he addressed fully in the paper?

You don't understand how this works do you? It just hit google scholar citations. In fact at least not only Periera cited it. Verena J. Schuenemann, Barbujani Guido, and others cited it.

Man you are a little slow. These citations came out Today 28APRIL2020.

on another note. Do you know why Keita cut you short in that 2nd interview?. tic! toc!

http://guides.library.cornell.edu/c.php?g=32272&p=203399

In other words Keita's challenge if not recently noticed by Verena S is noticed now. She put it out there.

SMH - Sometimes I think I am teaching Calculus to 1st graders.


We know Periera reads ES(see my thread) I would not be surprised this thread is being read by Verena and others.....even Keita.

Just checked my email. I took Lioness advice and did a BCC. I got a few responses. Maybe they are reading this thread. Anyways. One response from Haak

----

Dear XXXXXX,

thanks for getting in touch.

The data reported in Schuenemann et al. is capture data of 1.2M SNPs across the genome (see Mathieson et al. 2015, Nature), which does not include any CODIS STR regions.

Even if it were shotgun genome data, I’d be interested to hear how one can reliably type STR alleles from short reads such as those derived from ancient DNA with an average length of ~50 bp. I’m aware that TPOX is one of the shorter repeat regions, but it would still require several reads of > 70-80bp to cover the region and confidently call alleles.

I hope this helps.

With best regards
Wolfgang

I will do a couple more Abusirs to confirm the CODIS data was removed deliberately If it was removed we can assume the result...they skewed the results by removing the CODIS STR data. Anyways I am a little embarrassed. I had the answer in front of me a few weeks ago and missed it.
Here is the result...

But there are several problems with his response. Can anyone tell me what?. I did send the spreadsheet above showing TPOX is missing which he agrees.

But can anyone tell me what is wrong with his explanation? You can tell there is arrogance in his tone. As Marcus Garvey said...."their arrogance is very shallow". I can challenge him and expose him. Buuuuut!


I would not disrespect or berate him but you know these guys are not really who we think they are.

BTW - In several of the responses I got back, they copied Haak. Haak is the man pulling the strings not Verena. She never responded.

I remembered several years back I questioned Eva Fernandez on her thesis on 50% African Uniparental markers in ancient Iberia after a few responses she dropped me like a hot frying pan. These researchers know they are lying.

Keita knows the game also. So does Haak.

I'm very familiar with google scholar and how this works. What makes you slow is your inability to comprehend basic things, which is why you keep harping, for example, on Keita in an interview mentioning Weavers from the middle east as ONE POSSIBLE reason for foreign DNA in Egypt, when it was pointed out to you in the paper a fuller response. Thus:

Keita, Gourdine, Anselin
quote:

2) Historiography and misinterpretation

The authors do not consider explanations based on historical narrative, although they present historical information. NE input in AE could also be explained by old mercantile relationships with Lower Egypt (e.g. Maadi-Buto complex ~4,000 BC3), Egyptianized Asiatic rulers and migrants (e.g. Hyksos ~1,650 BC), NE prisoners of war (e.g. from Thutmose III’s military campaign in NE ~ 1,490 BC), from diplomatic marriages2 (e.g. Amenhotep III and Mitanni princess, Gilukhipa ~ 1,380 BC), etc.

As we can see here, Keita et al. are providing a wide range of explanations for the presence of "Asiatics" in Kemet.

You keep making issues with Keita that he doesn't have.

ANd to the second question, he had plans that day. So we got him for as long as we could get him. He'll be back and we are also planning his own online lectures for everyone else who is interested.

on another note. Do you know why Keita cut you short in that 2nd interview?. tic! toc!

http://guides.library.cornell.edu/c.php?g=32272&p=203399

In other words Keita's challenge if not recently noticed by Verena S is noticed now. She put it out there.

SMH - Sometimes I think I am teaching Calculus to 1st graders.


We know Periera reads ES(see my thread) I would not be surprised this thread is being read by Verena and others.....even Keita.

@xyyman - have you searched for Codis makers in any other ancient DNA data from Africa, Middle East or Europe?

No. My obsession was the Abusir dataset because I know it is impossible for the Abusir NOT to be SSA if the Amarnas are SSA.

The 3 Genetic software tools I used confirmed the CODIS STRs were missing. So I switched to finding tools that can pull geographic affinity using ONLY SNPs. I am stuck on MALDER. But as I said in other threads there are a few tools coming out that can do the job. I just don't have the time.


But based upon ADMIXTURE I got this...

yes. JK2134 is different from the other 2 but that may be because of origins from a different geographic region in SSA.

I am going to guess what you are asking. It doesn't make sense and that shows you don't understand this stuff. Like EM ...the fraudster.

I hope you are NOT speculating that CODIS STR goes extinct? What an idiotic comment. I am stumped.

Haak just said he did not pull the CODIS STR because of the technology used that can not pull short regions. He is lying but what are you asking? I will explain why he is lying shortly. But to your question.

CODIS STRs do not go "extinct". The CODIS STR of the Amarna did not go "extinct". lol! Man! Scratching my head. You have no clue do you?

To the newbies let me explain how this works. All humans past and present carry CODIS STRs. However the repeats (alleles) of STR region changes but only slightly from geographic region to other Geographic Regions.

Example not all SSA will have the same STR profile but they will be more similar to other distant geographic regions....eg Native Americans.

Europeans are very close to Africans because regardless how different you think they are Europe is geographically close to Africa.

eg

2 - Codis markers themselves have not gone extinct. The STR "PROFILE" has so its almost useless looking for this profile in modern populations. Written years ago and I still stand by this:

Yall been harping on this shit for almost 10 years and you need to quit it. This proile as i said a LONG time ago could be representative of their eastern saharan pastoral ancestors.....and somewhat similar to East African pastoralist ancient DNA.

2. no idea what you on about. You talked about STRs going extinct. I am saying STR do NOT go extinct. Repeats will change over time....but we talking 100's to 1000's of years.

That's what happens when one confuses proprietary MLI scores
thinking they're the sixteen CODIS STR allele raw data repeats.


Nonsense, the CODIS markers of the Amarnas I put
through popSTR and two tables for NE Africans

proved Upper Egypt and Sudan carries Thuya's
exact profile as in Pusch's report in JAMA that
Hawass claimed to author.


Sudan has 6 out of 8 complete locus matches, per
available data, and a total of 13 of Ramses' 16 alleles.


11 of Amenophis' 16 alleles show up in Somalia,
10 in Upper Egypt and Sudan. 13 of his alleles are
in Africa spread out amongst NE Afrs, Rainforesters,
and San.


Europe has 6 and Africa has 5 of Yuya's 8 loci,
each having 13 of his 16 alleles. Only 2 of his
alleles were missing from the global data and
one allele had no data.


And this was done not long after the Amarnas and the
Ramses data was published in peer reviewed journals.

indeed, Kush almost overran Egypt centuries before the so-called 25th "kushite" Dynasty.

 -


the Ram headed deity said to be enthroned in Jebel Barkal which is way south of Aswan. And from that time to the late period the Southern parts of the country had their own defacto rulers in the form of the high priests of Amun who were associated with the Southern territories as an extension of their power base.Not to mention the fact that many of the chief dieties besides Amun originated in the South, such as Hathor, Bes, Nekhbet, Khnum, Amun, Satis, Set, etc.....

Indeed. This shows that the southern regions still retained important influence.



It was a result of the events of the 2nd intermediate period, when large numbers of Southerners flowed north all the way to the delta that the AE incorporated Kush and Gebel Barkal into the Middle Kingdom.

quote:

Mentuhotep II, the 21st century BC founder of the Middle Kingdom, is recorded to have undertaken campaigns against Kush in the 29th and 31st years of his reign. This is the earliest Egyptian reference to Kush; the Nubian region had gone by other names in the Old Kingdom. Under Thutmose I, Egypt made several campaigns south. This eventually resulted in their annexation of Nubia c. 1504 BC. After the conquest, Kerma culture was increasingly Egyptianized, yet rebellions continued for 220 years until c. 1300 BC. Nubia nevertheless became a key province of the New Kingdom, economically, politically and spiritually. Indeed, major pharonic ceremonies were held at Jebel Barkal near Napata.[16] As an Egyptian colony from the 16th century BC, Nubia ("Kush") was governed by an Egyptian Viceroy of Kush. With the disintegration of the New Kingdom around 1070 BC, Kush became an independent kingdom centered at Napata in modern northern Sudan.

limestone ends and sandstone begins (link)

Before the unification of the Two Lands, Wawat ruled up to Nag el Hasaya
in what would later be the 2nd nome of Upper Egypt (Heru's Throne) to the
immediate north of the 1st nome TaSeti.nwt. So we see there was intense
rivalry between TaWy and TaSeti.x3st since predynastic times.

My judgment as to the extent of Egypt is confirmed by an oracle delivered at the
shrine of Ammon, of which I had no knowledge at all until after I had formed my
opinion. It happened that the people of the cities Marea and Apis, who live in the
part of Egypt that borders on Libya, took a dislike to the religious usages of the
country concerning sacrificial animals, and wished no longer to be restricted from
eating the flesh of cows. So, as they believed themselves to be Libyans and not
Egyptians, they sent to the shrine to say that, having nothing in common with the
Egyptians, neither inhabiting the Delta nor using the Egyptian tongue, they claimed
to be allowed to eat whatever they pleased. Their request, however, was refused by
the god, who declared in reply that Egypt was the entire tract of country which the
Nile overspreads and irrigates, and the Egyptians were the people who lived below
Elephantine
, and drank the waters of that river.
(link)

So said the oracle.

So we have it from Egyptians themselves that Aswan/Elephantine
was the border as per 6th Dynasty's Weny Governor of the South
and a 28th Dynasty unknown priest serving the Oracle of Ammon.

Also one should be careful not to confuse the nome Ta Seti which
ended at Aswan/Elephantine with the independent polity Ta Seti
which, in dynastic times, was relegated to upriver of Aswan/Elephantine
and dubbed Wawat.

When you say predynastic times, I get confused. "Nubian A culture" sites have been found a bit North of Aswan. Are you suggesting that the dynastic period marked the end of Ta-Seti (nwt) as an independent entity, and the start of it being part of the Egyptian state?

Thanks for the question Ase.

Please slowly and carefully reread post #000040
and follow its lynx. You may want to print it
all out, hold in your hands, and study it maybe
underlining and taking notes as you go along.

Is the map there hard to understand on its own?
Maybe it needs to be seen as an insert of
a larger map of Egypt and northern Sudan.

I don't go for this alphabet soup Nubian stuff.
Their kingdom names are known and I prefer them.
(TaSeti, Wawat, Irtjet, Kau, Mekher, Tereres, Sethu,
Utjek, Metjer, etc.)


TaSeti.xhast was primary. Its northernmost
area is where sandstone displaces limestone  -
in what is now Egypt and that's quite "a bit
north of Aswan" between Silsila and Edfu.

 -

quote:
The appearance of the Early A-Group is generally placed
as contemporary with Naqada Ic of Egypt, with the earliest likely dates around
3800 BC, continuing through Naqada II (a–d), to c.3400 BC (Gatto 2000). Most
of the earliest material is found relatively close to the First Cataract, extending
from Kubbaniya, some 10km north of Aswan, as far south as the Dakka–Sayala
region. The finds from north of Aswan reflect an early ethno-cultural frontier
in the Jebel Silsila area, which only moved south to the First Cataract in the midfourth
millennium BC with the establishment of a Naqada II settlement on
Elephantine
(Seidelmayer 1996).

Edwards (2004) Nubian Past p70

.
There was no nome TaSeti.niwt before "the Egyptian state" TaShemau.

TaSeti.niwt was just one part of TaSeti.khast (Wawat) taken
over by the newly forming Egyptian state TaShemau as
its first nome.

Part of the Egyptian state's second nome --Throne
of Horus-- was the northernmost region of TaSeti.khast (Wawat).

So TaSeti.niwt was not the only part of TaSeti.khast
taken over by the nascent Egyptian state as it spread
south into the sandstone territory in its push toward
Swn.t ('Aswan').

Think of New Mexico. It is one part of Mexico
taken over by the USA. There was no New Mexico
before there was a United States just as there
was no TaSeti.niwt before there was a TaSeti.khast.

Baines & Malek is a cheap buy and you must buy it.
There's a $5 copy in the link under the map in post #000040.
Their maps are invaluable and show the ever changing
political boundary of Egypt re Sudan.

The Egyptian state's natural south boundary was the
1st cataract. There's no denying what the Oracle of
Ammon delineated as Egypt.


I hope this is helpful and not further 'muddying the waters'.
I wish I could write like I speak but when I went to grade
school we were taught that written English and spoken
English are two different languages. Unfortunately, try as
I might I can't overcome that hurdle.

If I'm still not clear let me know and
I'll try it again (under 3 paragraphs).
