Credit actually goes to beyoku for presenting this to everyone. And also credit to Firewall for actually PMing me this in the first place.

Anyways...This is really interesting and the fight for an African Ancient Egypt is starting to come to a close..

He makes some really good points. It appears its not the full study and I think beyoku states he is not able to post the full one for some reason.

This seems to confirm the theory that Ancient Egyptians were composed of many different African ethnic groups who settled along the Nile during the dessication of the Sahara. Unified under one state by Narmer. All African people seem represented here from Nilo-Saharan to Niger-Congo speakers passing by Khoisan and Cushitic/Chadic speakers.

Hmm, that's interesting. I could of sworn that you were criticising me a couple of days ago for ''not liking the DNA results'' when I said that the Sahel, Horner and Nilo-Saharan influences would dwarf the Bantu influences, and here are the results, vindicating my views with prophetic accuracy. Prey tell, where are the Bantu specific lineages dominating over Horner, Nilo-Saharan and Chadic specific lineages in this cross section of AE lineages?

Doctoris Scientifica says:
Most of these uni-paternal lineages appear either "Chadic" or "NE African"; these results suggest that both 1) the Sahelian region via the Central Sahara and 2) the Horn of Africa via the Eastern Sahara, played a role in the peopling of Ancient Egypt. The Eurasian lineages aren't out of the ordinary either.

The presence of "West African" lineages in Ancient Egypt also supports an ancient arrival of at least some of the West African admixture present in Egypt today.

QUOTE:

"The evidence also points to linkages to
other northeast African peoples, not
coincidentally approximating the modern
range of languages closely related to
Egyptian in the Afro-Asiatic group
(formerly called Hamito-Semetic). These
linguistic similarities place ancient
Egyptian in a close relationship with
languages spoken today as far west as
Chad, and as far south as Somalia.

Archaeological evidence also strongly
supports an African origin. A widespread
northeastern African cultural assemblage,
including distinctive multiple barbed
harpoons and pottery decorated with
dotted wavy line patterns, appears during
the early Neolithic (also known as the
Aqualithic, a reference to the mild
climate of the Sahara at this time).
Saharan and Sudanese rock art from this
time resembles early Egyptian
iconography. Strong connections
between Nubian (Sudanese) and
Egyptian material culture continue in
later Neolithic Badarian culture of Upper
Egypt. Similarities include black-topped
wares, vessels with characteristic
ripple-burnished surfaces, a special
tulip-shaped vessel with incised and
white-filled decoration, palettes, and
harpoons...

Other ancient Egyptian practices show
strong similarities to modern African
cultures including divine kingship, the
use of headrests, body art, circumcision,
and male coming-of-age rituals, all
suggesting an African substratum or
foundation for Egyptian civilization.."

Please don't pollute this perfectly nice thread with your usual stupidity and red-herring tactics.

What I see here is that all African language families, thus all African people, are represented here. As I said above Nilo-saharans speakers, Niger-Congo (which include Bantu, Yoruba, Dogon, etc), Chadic/Cushitic and Khoisan speakers. That's the pan-African aspect that I like.

Ramses III was determined to be E1b1a, thus closer to West Africans and Bantu, but other royal mummy remains may be more nilotic or eastern Africans in ancestry. Same thing with the DNA Tribes results. It depends of which individual mummy remains are used for the study. This goes in line with the theory stated above than Ancient Egyptians were composed of many different African ethnic groups and lineages who settled along the Nile during the desertification of the Sahara.

I must admit I really like this pan-African aspect. As long as it's true of course. And indeed it seems all the DNA results seems to confirm that. As well as many other cultural and religious aspects like the traditional headrests found all over Africa.

Very good news. Can't wait to see the full study.

Yeah, that's what you're saying right now, now
that you've switched your pitch. You've been
trolling the forum with your sloppy
interpretation of the DNA Tribes results
for years, trying to make a case for Mountain of
the Moon Egyptians, accusing everyone who
disagreed, based on clear cut mtDNA and NRY ties
of a range of Northeast Africans populations and
Chadic speakers to modern Egyptians, of being
biased and ''not liking the DNA results''. Now
you're suddenly flip flopping and mimicking what
I said, as if you didn't damn near berated me
for saying what these haplogroup results are
confirming, and I'm supposed to not call you out?
You are a very interesting character.

No, he is not. You're just making that up. The
provenance of non Bantu associated East African
E-V38 (as exemplified by Ramses III's E-V38 and
that of most East Africans that predate Bantu
speakers in the area) is unknown, how many times
must I tell you this? They're NOT West
African/Bantu, until sharing with West African
haplotypes has been demonstrated. Get it through
your head for once.

quote:
Haplogroups of the E1b1a clade, and in
particular haplogroups E1b1a7 and E1b1a8 are most
frequently found in West, Central and South East
Africa, with a particular modal 6 NRY STR
haplotype (15-12-21-10-11-13) considered a
possible signature haplotype of the expansion of
the Bantu speaking peoples (Thomas et al. 2000;
Pereira et al. 2002; Veeramah et al. 2010).
This STR haplotype was only observed in a
single Anuak, the ethnic group with by far the
highest frequency of E1b1a7. It was also observed
in a single Amhara sample and two Dasanach.

Nice try, but:

Comparisons of linear body proportions of Old Kingdom and non-Old Kingdom period individuals, and workers and high officials in our sample found no statistically significant differences among them. Zakrzewski (2003) also found little evidence for differences in linear body proportions of Egyptians over a wider temporal range.

He makes some really good points. It appears its not the full study and I think beyoku states he is not able to post the full one for some reason.

Where are the New Kingdom results?? I take it OK and MK mean Old Kingdom and New Kingdom, respectively yet the title of this thread and Beyoku has New Kingdom.

Anyway, I am not at all surprised by these findings. Especially after the findings from DNA Tribes concerning the STRs. I am curious as to what those who claim that 'Moderns are the same as Ancients' have to say, especially when it's already established from the skeletal evidence that there is a significant change in phenotype between the ancients and today.

Speaking of which, are there any studies done on the gene-pool of modern rural Sa'idi?? Most genetic studies on modern Egyptians focus on urban areas of the Delta, but I don't hear much about rural populations in the southern valley.

Recall the STR results for the royals per DNA Tribes.

I find it interesting that these people realize
that playing the inauthentic DNA results card, as
they did with the Hawass et al results, is only
going to make them look like cretins this time
around. I haven't seen a single butt-hurt Euronut
try to emotionally cope with these results with
that pre-defeated excuse, yet.

I'm surprised at the low level of instructive
comments these people are capable of making about
the DNA results. Among the few people who are
saying something instructive aren't even native
to that forum; they're (ex-)ES posters. They have
a mod who tags the spread of Afro-Asiatic
languages to the spread of R-V88 (a mid holocene
lineage for Christ's sake), and denies an
association of this Phylum with NRY E-M35
[Eek!] [Eek!] [Eek!] [Eek!] [Eek!] [Eek!] [Eek!]

I've seen Euronuts say a lot, but I just wasn't
prepared for that in 2013. I had to rub my eyes
and re-read that. Makes me think ES really IS the
place to be, even with all the house-hold nutjobs.
 
Posted by Djehuti (Member # 6698) on :
 
^ LOL [Big Grin] That's right, Swenet! The Euronuts are on their last leg and they know it!! I warned those fools years ago that the DNA on the ancient Egyptians will come out and when it does they won't like the results, but they were confident that it will go in their favor. It's just as I predicted! Ha ha ha [Big Grin]

Speaking of fools, where is White Nobody?? You would think he would crash this thread big time due to the 'uncomfortable' findings. [Big Grin]

For some reason, the Euronuts didn't get the memo
that it was an ominous sign (for their case) that
the Egyptian authorities were committed to having
these tests come out a certain way (showing
ancient to modern genetic continuity), while
they, at the same time, were unable to come out
with results supporting their desired outcome.
Not only were they unable to come up with DNA
results that document this, they were chronically
holding back hundreds of successfully sequenced

incentive to shut those darn Afrocentrists up,
with all the genetic data they've been secretly

The Modern Egyptian authorities can only play games for so long. The fact is while they withheld info on the Africaness of Egyptian Genetics, they were getting their asses handed to them on the Anthropology and Archeology side.

The poor Euroclown establishment only has Genetics to base their claims, I mean look at Cachibatches on Historum, he avoids Anthopology and physical remains like the plague and harps on distorted and debunked Genetic studies.

Keep in mind for the nubians that info is only for north sudan/nile valley nubians,not the central sudan or western sudan nubians in sudan.


The info for the A HAPLOGROUP for nubians(north sudan) is not included but other then that the overall info on average looks almost the same has the the info i posted awhile ago of course with some differences.

The songhai info looks interesting.
I don't think i seen the info for the songhai before,but most of the others i have.

I think you have a problem with knowledge. This is why you have so many issues:
First of all, "E1b1b" (assuming you mean E3b and NOT E-M215) IS "E-M35." Become familiar with the nomenclature. T-M184 peaks in Sub Saharan Africa at over 80%
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_T-M184#Africa

You can read a study here on how long the lineage is estimated to have been in Africa and when it is estimated to have been spread south into the Horn of Africa (Somalia)
http://www.nature.com/ejhg/journal/v13/n7/full/5201390a.html

L0a does not need to be explain. E-M35 also should not have to be explained. That leaves R0a. R0 is likely an old Arabian lineage. It was previously known as Pre-Hv1.
You can read more about its spread here:
http://www.anthrogenica.com/showthread.php?108-HV1-and-Red-Sea-Population-Movements

These exact configurations can be found easily in Ethiopia and Sudan. I have no idea why you find THESE lineage surprising. These are some of the LEAST surprising lineages along with the E-M78's M1a's and L2a1's.
 
Posted by Amun-Ra The Ultimate (Member # 20039) on :
 
If you consider E descendant haplogroups to be African and F descendant to be foreign (Y-DNA). It's always surprising to find foreign DNA in any ancient populations. Like the black African presence is real but at the same time surprising and trivial in the Ancient Greece or Roman civilizations.

It's like the R-V88 found in high concentration in Cameroon or the high level of E haplogroup in the Balkans in Europe. It doesn't prevent those Balkans to look Europeans and those Cameroonian people to look (and 'be' of course) African in the full sense of the word.

In other words, someone can be 99% African and still carry a foreign haplogroup, like a F-descendant haplogroup. Y-DNA and MtDNA haplogroups form only a small part of your whole genome. Only the direct male and female line respectively.

This child for example can be a R-V88 carrier:
 -

It's takes about 5 generations for some foreign Y-DNA to be over 90% localized if the foreign male and his descendents only intermarry with local females (and not within his foreign haplogroup).

For example, a F-descendant haplogroup can marry a local woman

1) F descendant male (R-V88 hg carrier) 100% foreign
2) Children with a local female = 50% foreign for the full genome (since about 50% comes from the local female)
3) their children = 25%
4) their children= 12.50%
5) and their children=6.25%

After 10 generations it must be much below 1% or in fact even much below 0.5%

(it's an approximation because it's not clear which genes will be transmitted from one generation to the next beside for Y-DNA of course which are only carried and transmitted from male to male)

Those children which only have 6.25% of foreign DNA after 5 generations (or less than 0.5% after 10 generations) still carry a F descendant haplogroup like R-V88. So in takes about 5 generations to be 93.75% local (when people only intermarry with locals and not within their haplogroups). In reality, it takes more generations since there's some level of intra-haplogroup interbreeding even if the majority of people around you are locals.

(obviously of those 6.25% DNA only a 0.1% are actually polymorphic in humans, but that's another subject)

If I made an error in my calculation or otherwise please tell me of course.

The haplogroups are VERY diverse. Almost ALL African HG are represented. Data does not seem right. I am wondering if we are being played. That's all.

This combination looks strange

OK T-M184 L0a
OK E-M35 R0a

Interesting...it appears to support the Afro-asiatic myth.

What do you mean by this? In the results posted by Beyoku there's a diversity of mostly African genes, A, B, E, etc. The DNA tribes study points the 18th and 20th dynasty royal mummies to be closer to Great Lakes, Southern, West and Sahelian Africans than any other populations in the world (using the DNA tribe population database). Ramses III is determined to be E1b1a by another study.

It seems all the genetic analysis of ancient DNA all points the Ancient Egyptian civilizations to be formed by a wide variety of DNA and haplogroups, and thus people/lineages, now found all over Africa. It's hard to see it in any other way. If anything it support the theory that the Ancient Egyptian population was formed by a variety of African lineages and ethnic groups who settled along the Nile during the desertification of the Sahara.

Ok, I understand what you mean, even if I don't really agree with you (hg E is rarely attributed be a back migration unlike F descendant hg for example which are truly the effect of back migration of course), but modern population DNA is not as important as aDNA from ancient remains. Almost all aDNA data we have at the moment support a wide range of African DNA in Ancient Egypt. For example, Ramses III is determined to be E1b1a which means many Africans (from so called sub-sahara Africa) share a common ancestor with him (the common ancestor who was the first to have the E1b1a defining mutation). I gave other examples in my posts above. A, B and E haplogroups are all African people who have a common geographic origin and interrelated history (in Ancient Egypt, but probably also in the Ancient Sahara and definitely in modern Africa).

You have added this paragraph after I already replied to you above. Don't exaggerate things. DNA tribes is scientific. They used the STR values of royal mummies from the 18th and 20th Dynasty widely available from the peer reviewed studies -like the JAMA study- and inputed it in their population database. There's only a far off chance that their population database is wrong. Any person of have access to popaffiliator like software and a descent population database can run the STR values of the mummies remains and see what population it matches most (some did it with the same results). In fact, another study (completely peer reviewed this time) confirm that Ramsess III (20th Dynasty) is E1b1a which is an haplogroup which is most prevalent in the same region determined by DNA tribes, so?

I don't know what to say to you. I don't know if you're in a masochist mood or something. But you seem to make a great effort to see so called "hamiticism" where there is none. What you post is only one website which could have been written by me or white nubian. I read many peer-reviewed reports about hg E and frankly, I never read it to be the product of a back migration. They always say it originated in Eastern Africa, like most modern African people and languages for that matter.

I already told you. DNA tribes used the str of mummies from the JAMA report and inputed it in their database (which is indeed commercial and secret). The finding about Ramses III being E1b1a is not related at all to DNA tribes, but it confirm the geographic location determined by DNA Tribes. As E1b1a is found in great frequency in those same regions. It's a confirmation.

Even if you didn't have the DNA Tribes report, you are force to admit that most so-called sub-saharan African (like West, Great Lakes or Southern Africans) and Ramsess III share a common ancestor. The ancestor who had the E1b1a defining mutation in the first place (somewhere in Eastern Africa).

I don't know but most modern report have determined hg E to have originated in Eastern Africa.

Here's what the same Cruciani said about E-P2 (father to both E-215(E-M78, E-M35, E1b1b) and E-M2 (E1b1a):

quote:
Using the principle of the phylogeographic parsimony, the resolution of the E1b1b trifurcation in favor of a common ancestor of E-M2 and E-M329 strongly supports the hypothesis that haplogroup E1b1 originated in eastern Africa , as previously suggested [10], and that chromosomes E-M2, so frequently observed in sub-Saharan Africa, trace their descent to a common ancestor present in eastern Africa .
This is from A New Topology of the Human Y Chromosome Haplogroup E1b1 (E-P2) Revealed through the Use of Newly Characterized Binary Polymorphisms (2011) By Cruciani and Trombetta

It's like the R-V88 found in high concentration in Cameroon or the high level of E haplogroup in the Balkans in Europe. It doesn't prevent those Balkans to look Europeans and those Cameroonian people to look (and 'be' of course) African in the full sense of the word.

In other words, someone can be 99% African and still carry a foreign haplogroup, like a F-descendant haplogroup. Y-DNA and MtDNA haplogroups form only a small part of your whole genome. Only the direct male and female line respectively.

This child for example can be a R-V88 carrier:
 -

It's takes about 5 generations for some foreign Y-DNA to be over 90% localized if the foreign male and his descendents only intermarry with local females (and not within his foreign haplogroup).

For example, a F-descendant haplogroup can marry a local woman

1) F descendant male (R-V88 hg carrier) 100% foreign
2) Children with a local female = 50% foreign for the full genome (since about 50% comes from the local female)
3) their children = 25%
4) their children= 12.50%
5) and their children=6.25%

^"Haplogroup I is a descendent of suprahaplogroup F (encompassing haplogroup descendents G-T, see Figure 3).

Haplogroup F is thought to represent a second and later stage of human migration out of Africa 50 thousand years ago (kya)(see Figures 4 and 5)."

Those still holding to that opinion are more or less in agreement w/Hamiticism.

They base it on YAP or DE by parsimony.

I'm talking nrY of which

A & B are indisputably African w/no back migration ever proposed by anybody.

Because E comes from DE some see E as a back migration

They see DE as OoA
D split and head east
E split and went west (back to Africa)

Being aware of differing opinions does not equate to acceptance of all contradictory theories.

More to the point there are absolutely no posts in my 9 year history on ES where I even remotely hint at less lone support or agree with E back migration
including the EA NA & Med E-M215 branch of E's phylogeny

haplogroup E

Possible place of origin
East Africa, or possibly Asia


Origins

Underhill (2001) proposed that haplogroup E may have arisen in East Africa. Some authors as Chandrasekar (2007), continue to accept the earlier position of Hammer (1997) that Haplogroup E may have originated in Asia, given that:

# E is a clade of Haplogroup DE, with the other major clade, haplogroup D, being East Asian.

# DE is a clade within M168 with the other two major clades, C and F, considered to have a Eurasian origin.

However, several discoveries made since the Hammer articles are thought to make an Asian origin less likely:

# Underhill and Kivisild (2007) demonstrated that C and F have a common ancestor meaning that DE has only one sibling which is non-African.

# DE* is found in both Asia and Africa, meaning that not only one, but several siblings of D are found in Asia and Africa.

# Karafet (2008), in which Hammer is a co-author, significantly rearranged time estimates leading to "new interpretations on the geographical origin of ancient sub-clades". Amongst other things this article proposed a much older age for haplogroup E-M96 than had been considered previously, giving it a similar age to Haplogroup D, and DE itself, meaning that there is no longer any strong reason to see it as an offshoot of DE which must have happened long after DE came into existence and had entered Asia.

Haplogroup F-M89

Possible place of origin
Most probably South Asia, Southwest Asia or Middle East


Origins
This megahaplogroup contains mainly lineages that are not typically found in sub-Saharan Africa, suggesting that its ancestral haplogroup CF may have been carried out of Africa very early in the modern human diaspora, and F-M89 may have appeared 48,000 (38,700-55,700) years ago, probably in Eurasia.

According to the phylogeographic distribution of haplotypes observed among South Asian populations defined by social and linguistic criteria, the possibility arose of haplogroup F might have originated in or near India, and F-M89* might share a common demographic history with H-M69, C5, R2 and L1. The presence of several subclusters of F-M89 and K that are largely restricted to the Indian subcontinent is consistent with the scenario that a coastal (southern route) of early human migration out of Africa carried ancestral Eurasian lineages first to the coast of the Indian subcontinent, or that some of them originated there.

Other sources mention that this ancient haplogroup may have first appeared in North Africa, the Levant, or the Arabian Peninsula as much as 50,000 years ago (50,300±6500). It is sometimes believed to represent a "second-wave" of expansion out of Africa. However, the location of this lineage's first expansion and rise to prevalence appears to have been in South Asia or somewhere close to it within the extended Middle East. All of Haplogroup F's descendant haplogroups also show a pattern of radiation from South Asia (haplogroups H, F* and K) or the Middle East (haplogroups G and IJ).


Several lineages derived from Haplogroup F-M89 appear to have migrated into Africa from a homeland in Southwest Asia sometime during prehistory. Y-chromosome haplogroups associated with this hypothetical "Back to Africa" migration include J, R1b, and T.

Here's a basic (low resolution) Y-DNA phylogenetic tree:

 -

It's always good too keep that in mind when discussing haplogroups. At higher resolution you could see for example the F haplogroup further splitting into I, J, R, K haplogroups etc. Same for A, B and E haplogroups.

Phylogeographic Analysis of Haplogroup E3b [E-M215] Y Chromosomes Reveals Multiple Migratory Events Within and Out Of Africa2004

Fulvio Cruciani,1 Roberta La Fratta,1 Piero Santolamazza,1 Daniele Sellitto,1,3 Roberto Pascone,2 Pedro Moral,5 Elizabeth Watson,6 Valentina Guida,4 Eliane Beraud Colomb,7 Boriana Zaharova,8 João Lavinha,9 Giuseppe Vona,10 Rashid Aman,11,12 Francesco Calì,13 Nejat Akar,14 Martin Richards,15 Antonio Torroni,16 Andrea Novelletto,17 and Rosaria Scozzari1,

excerpts

Abstract
We explored the phylogeography of human Y-chromosomal haplogroup E3b by analyzing 3,401 individuals from five continents. Our data refine the phylogeny of the entire haplogroup, which appears as a collection of lineages with very different evolutionary histories, and reveal signatures of several distinct processes of migrations and/or recurrent gene flow that occurred in Africa and western Eurasia over the past 25,000 years. In Europe, the overall frequency pattern of haplogroup E-M78 does not support the hypothesis of a uniform spread of people from a single parental Near Eastern population. The distribution of E-M81 chromosomes in Africa closely matches the present area of distribution of Berber-speaking populations on the continent, suggesting a close haplogroup–ethnic group parallelism. E-M34 chromosomes were more likely introduced in Ethiopia from the Near East. In conclusion, the present study shows that earlier work based on fewer Y-chromosome markers led to rather simple historical interpretations and highlights the fact that many population-genetic analyses are not robust to a poorly resolved phylogeny.


The third branch, the clade E3, defined by the mutation P2, is the only one that has also been observed in Europe and in western Asia, where it has generally been found at frequencies <25% [Hammer et al. 2000, 2001; Semino et al. 2000; Scozzari et al. 2001; Cinnioğlu et al. 2004].


Recently, it has been proposed that E3b originated in sub-Saharan Africa and expanded into the Near East and northern Africa at the end of the Pleistocene [Underhill et al. 2001]. E3b lineages would have then been introduced from the Near East into southern Europe by immigrant farmers, during the Neolithic expansion [Hammer et al. 1998; Semino et al. 2000; Underhill et al.


Our data show that haplogroup E3b appears as a collection of subclades with very different evolutionary histories. Haplogroup E-M78 was observed over a wide area, including eastern [21.5%] and northern [18.5%] Africa, the Near East [5.8%], and Europe [7.2%], where it represents by far the most common E3b subhaplogroup.

E-M81 is very common in northwestern Africa, with frequencies as high as 80% [Bosch et al. 2001; Cruciani et al. 2002; present study], but its frequency sharply declines on the continent toward the east, and the haplogroup is not found in sub-Saharan Africa. The distribution of E-M81 chromosomes in Africa closely matches the present area of distribution of Berber-speaking populations on the continent, suggesting a close haplogroup–ethnic group parallelism: in northwestern Africa, the lowest frequencies for this haplogroup have been reported in two Arab-speaking Moroccan populations [31% and 52% vs. 65%–80% in six Berber speaking groups from Morocco and Algeria [Bosch et al. 2001; Cruciani et al. 2002; present study]]; in Egypt, where Berbers are restricted to a few villages, E-M81 is rare [1.9%], and the southernmost finding of E-M81 chromosomes on the continent is that here reported in the Tuareg from Niger [9.1%], who also speak a Berber language. Outside of Africa, E-M81 has been observed in all the six Iberian populations surveyed, with frequencies in the range of 1.6%–4.0% in northern Portuguese, southern Spaniards, Asturians, and Basques; 12.2% in southern Portuguese; and 41.1% in the Pasiegos from Cantabria. It has been suggested [Bosch et al. 2001] that recent gene flow may have brought E3b chromosomes from northwestern Africa into Iberia, as a consequence of the Islamic occupation of the peninsula, and that such gene flow left only a minor contribution to the current Iberian Y-chromosome pool. The relatively young TMRCA of 5.6 ky [95% CI 4.6–6.3 ky] that we estimated for haplogroup E-M81 and the lack of differentiation between European and African haplotypes in the network of E-M81 [fig. 2C] support the hypothesis of recent gene flow between northwestern Africa and Iberia. In this context, our data refine the conclusions of Bosch et al. [2001] in two ways. First, not all of the E3b chromosomes in Iberia can be regarded as a signature of African gene flow into the peninsula: in our data set, 8 of 15 E-M78 chromosomes belong to cluster α, denoting gene flow from mainland Europe [see above]. Second, and more importantly, the degree of the African contribution is highly variable across different Iberian populations: the proportion of haplogroup E chromosomes of African origin [E[xE3b], E-M35*, and E-M81] was <5% in three Spanish locations; 10.0% and 14.2% in northern and southern Portugal, respectively; and >40% in the Pasiegos [table 1]. A relatively high frequency of E-M81 in a different sample of Pasiegos [18%] and non-Pasiegos Cantabrians [17%] has also recently been reported [Maca-Meyer et al. 2003]. Such differences in the relative African contribution to the male gene pool of different Iberian populations may reflect, at least in part, the different durations of Islamic influence and introgression in different parts of the peninsula, as well as drift/founder effects for the small Pasiegos group.

Although the frequency distribution of E-M34 could suggest that eastern Africa was the place in which the haplogroup arose, two observations point to a Near Eastern origin: [1] Within eastern Africa, the haplogroup appears to be restricted to Ethiopia, since it has not been observed in either neighboring Somalia or Kenya [present study] or Sudan [Underhill et al. 2000]. By contrast, E-M34 chromosomes have been found in a large majority of the populations from the Near East so far analyzed [Underhill et al. 2000; Cinnioğlu et al. 2004; Semino et al. 2004 [in this issue]; present study]. [2] E-M34 chromosomes from Ethiopia show lower variances than those from the Near East and appear closely related in the E-M34 network [fig. 2D]. If our interpretation is correct, E-M34 chromosomes could have been introduced into Ethiopia from the Near East.


In conclusion, we detected the signatures of several distinct processes of migration and/or recurrent gene flow associated with the dispersal of haplogroup E3b lineages. Early events involved the dispersal of E-M78δ chromosomes from eastern Africa into and out of Africa, as well as the introduction of the E-M34 subclade into Africa from the Near East. Later events involved short-range migrations within Africa [E-M78γ and E-V6] and from northern Africa into Europe [E-M81 and E-M78β], as well as an important range expansion from the Balkans to western and southern-central Europe [E-M78α]. This latter expansion was the main contributor to the present distribution of E3b chromosomes in Europe.

Don't know what the balance is among researchers,

to this view and who don't. I would like to say
they are only a small minority, but some details
may point to the opposite. Some researchers are
literally two faced snakes, in that they say one
thing in their papers, but come out saying the
opposite in their private conversations with you.
Charlie Bass already posted his email
correspondences with Kanya Godde, who apparently
thinks, in private, that Nubians are unrelated to
Sub-Saharan Africans and derive from separate
Homo Erectus archaics. When you contrast these
private held views with what she publishes and
whom she quotes in the introduction sections of
her papers, to sum up past research on the matter
(Keita among others), you get a totally different
picture.

I'm also right now talking to someone in private
about an Egyptologist who has written several
books, which seemingly cite data that support
Egypto-Nubian relationships, but in this
Egyptologists' private conversation with the
person I'm talking to, the floodgates of
Eurocentrism open up every time this Egyptologist
writes back. You're right on the money that some
of these people are not who they're
publicly making themselves out to be.

Before I conclude this post, look at this:

quote:
To fill this gap, we analyzed a sample of
240 unrelated subjects from a northwest Algeria
cosmopolitan population using mtDNA sequences and
Y-chromosome biallelic polymorphisms, focusing on
the fine dissection of haplogroups E and R, which
are the most prevalent in North Africa and Europe
respectively. The Eurasian component in
Algeria reached
80% for mtDNA and 90% for
Y-chromosome.
However, within them, the North
African genetic component for mtDNA (U6 and M1;
20%) is significantly smaller than the paternal
(E-M81 and E-V65; 70%).

--Bekada et al 2013

These people don't even make it a secret that
they're straight up counting E-M81 and E-M78 as
Eurasian lineages. [Eek!]

Dang...The Eurofcks are not even trying to hide their Eurocentrism anyone, they just don't care anymore. E-M81 Eurasian???? What???? O_0
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RFDBC3MrhRc/TwSONGTqaEI/AAAAAAAAAKA/tx02k-dvLNs/s1600/E_Snp_Phylogeography.jpg

And also U6 and M1 are no longer Eurasian, but African due to mutation. Their now African clades...


No southwest Asian specific clades for M1 or U6 were discovered. U6 and M1 frequencies in North Africa, the Middle East and Europe do not follow similar patterns, and their sub-clade divisions do not appear to be compatible with their shared history reaching back to the Early Upper Palaeolithic.
http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/12/234

I'm not saying U6 and M1 were African, but mutated to African.

Haplogroup F is the parent haplogroup for all of the Y-DNA haplogroups from G through R. More than 90% of the world's human population descends from this group. Because these haplogroups are found almost entirely outside of sub-Saharan Africa, it is presumed that either the population migrating out of Africa was Haplogroup F or Haplogroup F appeared soon after the emigration from Africa, about sixty to eightly thousand years ago. Some argue the emigration was as late as 45,000 years ago.


Today, Haplogroup F is uncommon compared to its "offspring." It is not well studied as most of the attention has been paid to their descendant haplogroups.

Haplogroup F is most frequent on the Indian subcontinent and is rare in Europe, so rare that a Y-DNA Haplogroup F Project has only just been formed (as of November, 2007). Your project admin recommends this individual join this project, in addition to Danish Demes.


http://danishdemes.org/YDNA-results-HgF.html


In human genetics, Haplogroup F* (M89) is a Y-chromosome haplogroup (Note: due to technical restrictions, the title of this page does not contain an "*").

This haplogroup first appeared in Africa some 45,000 years before present. It is believed to represent the "second-wave" of expansion out of Africa.

Haplogroup F* is an ancestral haplogroup to Y-chromosome haplogroups G (M201), H (M52), I (M170), J (12f2.1), and K (M9) along with its descendant haplogroups (L, M, N, O, P, Q, and R).

Haplogroup M

Possible place of origin
South Asia or North Africa


Haplogroup M1
Much of discussion concerning the origins of haplogroup M has been related to its subclade haplogroup M1, which is the only variant of macrohaplogroup M found in Africa.


Much of discussion concerning the origins of haplogroup M has been related to its subclade haplogroup M1, which is the only variant of macrohaplogroup M found in Africa. Two possibilities were being considered as potential explanations for the presence of M1 in Africa:


# M was present in the ancient population which later gave rise to both M1 in Africa, and M more generally found in Eurasia.

# The presence of M1 in Africa is the result of a back-migration from Asia which occurred sometime after the Out of Africa migration.


Asian origin theory
According to this theory, anatomically modern humans carrying ancestral haplogroup L3 lineages were involved in the Out of Africa migration from East Africa into Asia. Somewhere in Asia, the ancestral L3 lineages gave rise to haplogroups M and N. The ancestral L3 lineages were then lost by genetic drift as they are infrequent outside Africa. The hypothesis of Asia as the place of origin of macrohaplogroup M is supported by the following:


# The highest frequencies worldwide of macrohaplogroup M are observed in Asia, specifically in India, Bangladesh, and Japan, where frequencies range from 60%-80%. The total frequency of M subclades is even higher in some populations of Siberia or the Americas, but these small populations tend to exhibit strong genetic drift effects, and often their geographical neighbors exhibit very different frequencies.


# With the exception of the African specific M1, India has several M lineages that emerged directly from the root of haplogroup M.


# Only two subclades of haplogroup M, M1 and M23, are found in Africa, whereas numerous subclades are found outside Africa (with some discussion possible only about sub-clade M1, concerning which see below).


1. Specifically concerning M1
# Haplogroup M1 has a restricted geographic distribution in Africa, being found mainly in North Africans and East Africa at low or moderate frequencies. If M had originated in Africa around before the Out of Africa migration, it would be expected to have a more widespread distribution

# According to Gonzalez et al. 2007, M1 appears to have expanded relatively recently. In this study M1 had a younger coalescence age than the Asian-exclusive M lineages.

# The geographic distribution of M1 in Africa is predominantly North African/supra-equatorial and is largely confined to Afro-Asiatic speakers,[16] which is inconsistent with the Sub-Saharan distribution of sub-clades of haplogroups L3 and L2 that have similar time depths.


# One of the basal lineages of M1 lineages has been found in Northwest Africa and in the Near East but is abssent in East Africa.

# M1 is not restricted to Africa. It is relatively common in the Mediterranean, peaking in Iberia. M1 also enjoys a well-established presence in the Middle East, from the South of the Arabian Peninsula to Anatolia and from the Levant to Iran. In addition, M1 haplotypes have occasionally been observed in the Caucasus and the Trans Caucasus, and without any accompanying L lineages. M1 has also been detected in Central Asia, seemingly reaching as far as Tibet.

# The fact that the M1 sub-clade of macrohaplogroup M has a coalescence age which overlaps with that of haplogroup U6 (a Eurasian haplogroup whose presence in Africa is due to a back-migration from West Asia) and the distribution of U6 in Africa is also restricted to the same North African and Horn African populations as M1 supports the scenario that M1 and U6 were part of the same population expansion from Asia to Africa.

# The timing of the proposed migration of M1 and U6-carrying peoples from West Asia to Africa (between 40,000 to 45,000 ybp) is also supported by the fact that it coincides with changes in climatic conditions that reduced the desert areas of North Africa, thereby rendering the region more accessible to entry from the Levant. This climatic change also temporally overlaps with the peopling of Europe by populations bearing haplogroup U5, the European sister clade of haplogroup U6.

Haplogroup M


African origin hypothesis
According to this theory, haplogroups M and N arose from L3 in an East African population that had been isolated from other African populations. Members of this population were involved in the out Africa migration and only carried M and N lineages. With the possible exception of haplogroup M1, all other M and N clades in Africa were lost by genetic drift.


The African origin of Haplogroup M is supported by the following arguments and evidence.

# L3, the parent clade of haplogroup M, is found throughout Africa, but is rare outside Africa. According to Toomas Kivisild (2003), "the lack of L3 lineages other than M and N in India and among non-African mitochondria in general suggests that the earliest migration(s) of modern humans already carried these two mtDNA ancestors, via a departure route over the Horn of Africa."


# Ancestral L3 lineages that gave rise to M and N have not been discovered outside Africa.

# Specifically concerning at least M1:

* Haplogroup M1 is largely restricted to Africa where the highest frequencies of M1 can be found in Northeast Africa, particularly in Ethiopia. M1 is found in Europe and the Near East but at considerably lower frequencies than in Africa.
____________
Dispersal

A number of studies have proposed that the ancestors of modern haplogroup M dispersed from Africa through the southern route across the Horn of Africa along the coastal regions of Asia onwards to New Guinea and Australia. These studies suggested that the migrations of haplogroups M and N occurred separately with haplogroup N heading northwards from East Africa to the Levant. However, the results of numerous recent studies indicate that there was only one migration out of Africa and that haplogroups M and N were part of the same migration. This is based on the analysis of a number of relict populations along the proposed beachcombing route from Africa to Australia, all of which possessed both haplogroups N and M.

A 2008 study by Abu-Amero et al., suggests that the Arabian Peninsula may have been the main route out of Africa. However as the region lacks of autochthonous clades of haplogroups M and N the authors suggest that the area has been a more recent receptor of human migrations than an ancient demographic expansion center along the southern coastal route as proposed under the single migration Out-of-Africa scenario of the African origin hypothesis.

Yes, this Cruciani study is referring to the back migration in Africa of F descendant haplogroup like R1b. Which of course is true. Any F descendent haplogroups in Africa are the product of a back migration. No link with Hamiticism. Obviously this is a good thing, we don't want humans or Africans to be genetically isolated from one another too much. A diversity of DNA is a good thing for the survival of any population.

For egyptologist, there's indeed many people still refuting the black African origin of Ancient Egyptians. That's why we're happy about the study results posted by Beyoku. Study like the one posted by Beyoku when it will be published, the results of Ramses III analysis and future aDNA analysis of Kemites remains, as well as archeological works like the one done near Nabta Playa in the sahara desert will change things slowly but surely. There's no way around it.

Are you questioning me? I'm not sure I understand your question. If F haplogroups originate in lets say around India. That is at one time one individual was the first one to have the F mutation and that male was living in India. Then this individual had (eventually, after a few generations) many male descendants who somehow spread their F mutation (by having male child of course) across the world. As far as in Africa (Cameroon). Eventually developing new F descendant mutation along the way (like R, J, etc). That is the way between lets say India and Cameroon. Obviously maybe the first R-V88 descendant to step a foot beyond the Sahara desert, for example, was already 90% African in every sense of the word as stated a few post above (the one with the picture of an African child). We don't know the full genome.

**If*** you accept that the F haplogroup originate outside Africa, then any F descendant haplogroup is the product of a back migration. There's no way around it. I don't even need to explain why, how, for what reason, etc. It's basic logic.

The only thing you could say is that: no, the F haplogroup, the first male person who had the F mutation, didn't originate outside Africa, but it indeed originated in Africa(maybe in Cameroon or around it or elsewhere in Africa). Of course, its absurd considering the distribution (frequency, diversity) of F haplogroup around the world. No geneticist hold that absurd position.

"back migration" doesn't mean R1b started in Cameroon and then later came back to Cameroon.

It means in a more general sense that all people come from Africa and the ones who had been living Out of Africa (Near East/Mesopotamia) came back into Africa and went to Cameroon for the first time - this before dynastic Egypt and that's how the R1b got there, prior to historical periods

Of course, that's what 'back migration' means. People who left Africa, then developed new mutation(s) like F (actually called M89), outside Africa (around India it seems in this case), then came back to Africa. Something that took of course many millennium. Nice graph. A picture worth a thousands words I guess.

For example, as you stated above, Cruciani is talking about the back migration of F descendant haplogroups (R, etc) in his study called: A Back Migration from Asia to Sub-Saharan Africa Is Supported by High-Resolution Analysis of Human Y-Chromosome Haplotypes.

Ok, and what does he say about E3b that are relevant to this thread? I don't see by looking at your post what Tukuler would find interesting in that study. All the contrary, it says: Recently, it has been proposed that E3b originated in sub-Saharan Africa and expanded into the Near East and northern Africa at the end of the Pleistocene [Underhill et al. 2001] Which is of course true.

Simply because I have cited multiple sources stating different. From your claim. I am sure, you've seen them. [Frown]


Y-DNA haplogroup F is the parent of all Y-DNA haplogroups G through T and contains more than 90% of the world’s population. Haplogroup F was in the original migration out of Africa, or else it was founded soon afterward, because F and its sub-haplogroups are primarily found outside, with very few inside, sub-Saharan Africa. The founder of F could have lived between 60,000 and 80,000 years ago, depending on the time of the out-of-Africa migration.

The major sub-groups of Haplogroup F are Haplogroups G, H, [IJ], and K, which are discussed elsewhere at this site. The minor sub-groups, F*, F1, and F2 have not been well studied, but apparently occur only infrequently and primarily in the Indian subcontinent. F* has been observed in two individuals in Portugal, possibly representing a remnant of 15th and 16th century contact of Portugal with India.

"I is a branch of haplogroup F* (M89 mutation), which first appeared in Africa some 45,000 years before the present. F* is believed to represent the "second-wave" of expansion out of Africa between 45 and 40 thousand years ago, that went directly to the Middle East"

Do you remember when Hawass and the SCA did their first DNA testing on royal mummies back in the late 90s??

The funny thing is that human genetics or molecular anthropology is about as clear as physical anthropology of skeletal remains but just as malleable that is the results can be just as easy to distort in one's favor. For example, recall how the crania of North and even East Africans for many decades were classified as "Caucasoid" due to certain features. The same game is being played by Eurocentrists today except with haplogroups.

Precisely what I'm saying. Because the Eurocentrics can no longer use skeletal or even cranial remains to support their claims, they've moved on to genetics which is a relatively recent science and therefore 'ripe for the picking'. Fortunately like skeletal assessment and other sciences before it, the more time passes and the more advances made such as in SNP resolution and refinement especially with the discovery of unknown haplotypes that too will be a lost cause.

It's like the R-V88 found in high concentration in Cameroon or the high level of E haplogroup in the Balkans in Europe. It doesn't prevent those Balkans to look Europeans and those Cameroonian people to look (and 'be' of course) African in the full sense of the word.

In other words, someone can be 99% African and still carry a foreign haplogroup, like a F-descendant haplogroup. Y-DNA and MtDNA haplogroups form only a small part of your whole genome. Only the direct male and female line respectively.

This child for example can be a R-V88 carrier:
 -

It's takes about 5 generations for some foreign Y-DNA to be over 90% localized if the foreign male and his descendents only intermarry with local females (and not within his foreign haplogroup).

For example, a F-descendant haplogroup can marry a local woman

1) F descendant male (R-V88 hg carrier) 100% foreign
2) Children with a local female = 50% foreign for the full genome (since about 50% comes from the local female)
3) their children = 25%
4) their children= 12.50%
5) and their children=6.25%

After 10 generations it must be much below 1% or in fact even much below 0.5%

(it's an approximation because it's not clear which genes will be transmitted from one generation to the next beside for Y-DNA of course which are only carried and transmitted from male to male)

Those children which only have 6.25% of foreign DNA after 5 generations (or less than 0.5% after 10 generations) still carry a F descendant haplogroup like R-V88. So in takes about 5 generations to be 93.75% local (when people only intermarry with locals and not within their haplogroups). In reality, it takes more generations since there's some level of intra-haplogroup interbreeding even if the majority of people around you are locals.

(obviously of those 6.25% DNA only a 0.1% are actually polymorphic in humans, but that's another subject)

If I made an error in my calculation or otherwise please tell me of course.

This is assuming that all F-descended lineages are Eurasian in the first place. Recall that F is a cousin of E with E deriving from DE and F deriving from CF and both CF and DE deriving from CT. It's likely F itself originated in Africa as their a significant frequency of underived F* in the Sudan. Also, most genes especially those of the autosomes and genes of the X chromosome in females are recombinant so it depends on what alleles and on what loci on is looking for.

We don't even need to state fringe theory about haplogroups origin. Ancient Egyptians were mostly from the A, B, E descendant haplogroups which are usually considered African in origin (aka not the product of a back migration from Eurasia).

Because F is important in the downstream of the following mutations which took place. In this route it's reasonable that some of the markers have developed indigenously.

That's why.

And the questions addressed are reasonable.

It's funny "so well informed people" always run away from these questions. And the sample set of one person during those days is not what is is today. Things have changed drastically.

 -

The phylogeny is based on that of the Y Chromosome Consortium (YCC)3, with minor modifications72, 112, 115, 119. Clades and clade names are coloured to match the pie charts in Fig. 2. The Y clade contains all of the the haplogroups A–R. Paragroups, which are lineages that are not defined by the presence of a derived marker, are indicated by an asterisk (for example, P*). The nomenclature system allows the union of two haplogroups, such as D and E, to be indicated by juxtaposed letters (DE). A designation such as R(xR1a) indicates the partial typing of markers in a haplogroup, in this case describing all chromosomes in clade R except those in R1a. Details of the markers, together with further information about nomenclature rules, can be found at the YCC web site (see online links box). Note that this phylogeny and nomenclature should be regarded as the YCC2003 Tree, and may be used as a reference.

Humm, it was you who mentioned Hg F first, or am I mistaking? And the fringe theory seems plausible. Since:

quote:
Haplogroup F was in the original migration out of Africa
http://www.isogg.org/tree/ISOGG_HapgrpF.html


Haplogroup F is the parent haplogroup for all of the Y-DNA haplogroups from G through R. More than 90% of the world's human population descends from this group. Because these haplogroups are found almost entirely outside of sub-Saharan Africa, it is presumed that either the population migrating out of Africa was Haplogroup F or Haplogroup F appeared soon after the emigration from Africa, about sixty to eightly thousand years ago. Some argue the emigration was as late as 45,000 years ago.


Today, Haplogroup F is uncommon compared to its "offspring." It is not well studied as most of the attention has been paid to their descendant haplogroups.


Haplogroup F is most frequent on the Indian subcontinent and is rare in Europe, so rare that a Y-DNA Haplogroup F Project has only just been formed (as of November, 2007). Your project admin recommends this individual join this project, in addition to Danish Demes.


http://danishdemes.org/YDNA-results-HgF.html


In human genetics, Haplogroup F* (M89) is a Y-chromosome haplogroup (Note: due to technical restrictions, the title of this page does not contain an "*").

This haplogroup first appeared in Africa some 45,000 years before present. It is believed to represent the "second-wave" of expansion out of Africa.

Haplogroup F* is an ancestral haplogroup to Y-chromosome haplogroups G (M201), H (M52), I (M170), J (12f2.1), and K (M9) along with its descendant haplogroups (L, M, N, O, P, Q, and R).

Yes, that what I am saying. Has proper research being to such? No it hasn't.


It was once assumed the entire Hg E was borne outside of Africa. "Somewhere in the Middle East". F is complicated and important, because it will remove a lot of the suspicious/ suggestive hypotheses.


And ever since Cruciani started out he fetched on the theory of "back migrations" everything to him is/ was basically due back migrations. Nothing was born from the African continent originally.


Suggested is that after F in Africa they stopped mutating into the following downstream mutations. And continued in "Eurasia". However no explanation is given to such a theory.

therefore there is no such thing as a non-African haplogroup

therefore there was never a migration of Paleolithic people from outside of Africa back into Africa

therfore mutations can't occur outside Africa




^^^ seems to be the implication being used


Haplogroup F may have originated in North Africa or the Mid East 45-48kya

But If people are going to talk about hap F -M89 in regard to Africa they should at least site a frequency level in a namable modern African population.

Where are the examples? No examples , no case


Not saying it doesn't exist at all in Africa but it's near non existant in Africa. It's not even listed on the Y DNA chart I posted for Africa.

Without explanations this seems like one of the worst thread on this site to post this. This thread is about Ancient DNA of Kemetian mummies and this is about the relatively recent development of sickle cell genes (at least according to this study, the one you posted).

Just consider this quote from the text:

quote:
Our results suggest that the sickle cell gene may have been preferentially introduced through males of migrating west African tribes (Figure 1), particularly Hausa-Fulani, and Bagara in the large migrations that began in the eighteenth century and escalated during the nineteenth and early twentieth century . The estimates of a recent figure of 1–3 generations for the introduction of the gene and associated haplotypes to eastern Sahel, is consistent with demography during the past 100 years and with a hypothesis of a recent origin of malaria as a major human infection
On another study they say :

quote:
The data presented here provide strong evidence that the Hb S gene was generated in Africa by at least three separate mutational events involving three or more different chromosomes [Edit:Senegal, Benin and Bantu I would say]. In addition, the data suggest that the Hb S gene migrated from West Africa to North Africa through the well documented trans-Saharan caravan routes (12). Also, the data are entirely compatible with the Bantu expansion having originated in an area close to the frontier of present day Nigeria and Cameroon. From Evidence for the multicentric origin of the sickle cell hemoglobin gene in Africa
Here's a map of sickle cell gene distribution in the world:

Maybe if you say why you post this, in relation to this thread, instead of just dumping it with no explanations. It would make it more interesting. Just a suggestion. I'm no expert on the sickle cell gene, so I'm curious why you posted this on this thread.

I have cited reasonable sources. You posted from your favorite website. Wikipedia, to put in an argument.


However, it could be that there is a split or a synchronous development of these mutations. Chromosomes and alleles will answer these questions.

The DE haplogroup appeared approximately 50,000 years bp in North East Africa and subsequently split into haplogroup E that spread to Europe and Africa and haplogroup D that rapidly spread along the coastline of India and Asia to North Asia.

Complementary evidence for parallel origins of sickle cell is discernable in ethnicity, some notable examples being the concurrency of gene population spread attributed to expansions of Iron Age Bantu speakers both south and eastwards in Africa emerging from the area of present-day Cameroon, and subsequently across the Atlantic by events associated with the ‘Middle Passage’.

King Tut died from sickle-cell disease, not malaria


quote:
King Tutankhamun died from sickle-cell disease, not malaria, say experts. A team from Hamburg's Bernhard Noct Institute for Tropical Medicine (BNI) claim the disease is a far likelier cause of death than the combination of bone disorders and malaria put forward by Egyptian experts earlier this year.


The BNI team argues that theories offered by Egyptian experts, led by antiquities tsar Zahi Hawass, are based on data that can be interpreted otherwise. They say further analysis of the data will confirm or deny their work. Hawass' claim, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association this February, and followed by a swarm of accompanying television shows, claimed King Tut suffered from Kohler's disease, a bone disorder prohibiting blood flow, before succumbing to malaria.


Multiple bone disorders, including one in Tutankhamun's left foot, led to the Kohler's diagnosis, while segments of a malarial parasite were found via DNA testing. Yet the BNI team claims the latter results are incorrect. “Malaria in combination with Köhler's disease causing Tutankhamun's early death seems unlikely to us,” say Prof Christian Meyer and Dr Christian Timmann.


Instead the BNI team feels sickle-cell disease (SCD), a genetic blood disorder, is a more likely reason for the Pharaoh's death aged just 19. The disease occurs in 9 to 22 per cent of people living in the Egyptian oases, and gives a better chance of surviving malaria; the infestation halted by sickled cells.


They say the disease occurs frequently in malarial regions like the River Nile, and that it would account for the bone defects found on his body.


“The genetic predisposition for (SCD) can be found in regions where malaria frequently occurs, including ancient and modern Egypt.” says Meyer. “The disease can only manifest itself when a sickle cell trait is inherited from both parents: it is a so-called 'recessive inheritance'.” A family tree for the Pharaoh suggested by Hawass himself appears to back the BNI team's case.


The relatively old age of Tutankhamun's parents and relatives – up to 50 years – means they could very well have carried sickle-cell traits, and could therefore have been highly resistant to malaria. The high likelihood that King Tut's parents were siblings means he could have inherited the sickle cell trait from both and suffered from SCD.


“Sickle-cell disease is an important differential diagnosis: one that existing DNA material can probably confirm or rule out,” conclude Timmann and Meyer. They suggest that further testing of ancient Egyptian royal mummies should bear their conclusions in mind.


King Tut's young demise has long been a source of speculation. As well as malaria, recent decades have seen scholars argue that he was murdered, and that he died from infection caused by a broken leg.

This news amuses me when euronuts claim to be the direct descendants of King Tut. Yet, they lack the Sickle-Cell disease.

Haplogroup IJ (Y-DNA)

It is notable that no example of a Haplogroup IJ* Y-chromosome has been found among any modern human population; the existence of the Haplogroup IJ node has been inferred from the fact that certain mutations are shared in common among all Y-chromosomes belonging to the descendant haplogroups I and J. The lack of any examples of Haplogroup IJ* belonging to neither Haplogroup I nor Haplogroup J complicates any attempt to deduce the geographical location where Haplogroup IJ first appeared; however, the fact that both Haplogroup I and Haplogroup J are found among modern populations of the Caucasus, Anatolia, and Southwest Asia tends to support the hypothesis that Haplogroup IJ derived from Haplogroup F in the vicinity of West Asia or the Middle East and subsequently spread throughout Western Eurasia.

__________________________________________________

If might infer that Ij is African due to

"The IJ haplogroup characterizes part of the second wave of emigration from Africa that occurred via the Middle East 45,000 years bp and defines two branches I and J that emigrated northwards and eastwards into Europe" -ISOGG

Again the early origin is uncertain
however the lineage that has been found in modern populations is J1 and J2 and these are mutations that are believed to have occured in Arabia and the the frequencies of J in North Africa are dued to the spread of Islam rather than and archaic IJ

You can do the same with any sub clade, follow the parent to OOA and then use this method to determine any haplogroup therefore is African and also assume therefore it is impossible that any people migrated from outside of Africa into Africa (were they once came from)
You might as well say there is no such thing as an Asian or European person

It doesn't matter if IJ is African

the presence of J1 and J2 in North Africa is due to the spread of Islam 7-8th century AD

not IJ tens of thousands of years ago

Yes, it does matter. It may have spread in abundance afterwards...as you state. But eventually it follows a logical path within Africa, being distributed. As Djehuti and others mentioned before, including myself.

J1 is not J2 btw. The allele and chromosomes are important, to understand the nuclear clades. When trying to understand aDNA vs TMRCA.


I suggest a parallel divergence of mutations.

So, when are you going to show the distribution of V88 and U5 amongst the Fulbe?

Yeah, I saw that news line about the possibility of King Tut having died of Sickle cell. It's the only researcher who have elaborated this theory and frankly it's based on flimsy assumption. Personally, I don't think King Tut died of sickle cell. I wouldn't base any theory on Ancient Egyptian origin on it. Have you seen the map of sickle cell anemia gene distribution? Even your own study negate that possibility (have you read it?). The gene being a relatively recent development. There's more chance of king tut having died of malaria or any other causes of death than this imo.

Your personal "opinion". VS.


“The genetic predisposition for (SCD) can be found in regions where malaria frequently occurs, including ancient and modern Egypt.” says Meyer. “The disease can only manifest itself when a sickle cell trait is inherited from both parents: it is a so-called 'recessive inheritance'.” A family tree for the Pharaoh suggested by Hawass himself appears to back the BNI team's case.


The relatively old age of Tutankhamun's parents and relatives – up to 50 years – means they could very well have carried sickle-cell traits, and could therefore have been highly resistant to malaria. The high likelihood that King Tut's parents were siblings means he could have inherited the sickle cell trait from both and suffered from SCD.

But the German researchers said in a letter published online Wednesday by the Journal of the American Medical Association that closer scrutiny of his foot bones pointed to sickle cell disease, in which red blood cells become dangerously misshaped.

"(The) radiological signs are compatible with osteopathologic lesions seen in sickle cell disease (SCD), a hematological disorder that occurs at gene carrier rates of nine percent to 22 percent in inhabitants of Egyptian oases."

I'll grant you, it's a possibility like any other but I wouldn't base any theory on Ancient Egyptian origin on it. The analysis of aDNA posted by Beyoku, as well as DNA Tribes and Ramses III being E1b1a and future aDNA study are much more solid bases to analyze the Ancient Egyptian origin and ethnicity than assumption based on peripheral evidence. Even the study you posted about sickle cell contradicts you because it shows different geographical (thus ethnic) origin of the sickle cell gene (Benin, Nigeria, Bantu, iirc). It also talk about **recent** development of such traits (something you avoid responding to). So, there's no way to know which "strain" (bad word I know) of sickle cell gene was present in Ancient Egypt, it may also have been an independent one, if there ever was that is, which I don't believe. Even the traits already present in Africa are not from the same origin (they are from 3 different origin Senegal, Benin and Bantu iirc). Can you really base any theory about Ancient Egyptian origin and ethnicity on this? No.

I don't see how it is contracting?

Complementary evidence for parallel origins of sickle cell is discernable in ethnicity, some notable examples being the concurrency of gene population spread attributed to expansions of Iron Age Bantu speakers both south and eastwards in Africa emerging from the area of present-day Cameroon, and subsequently across the Atlantic by events associated with the ‘Middle Passage’.

It's easy to understand. According to the study you posted. The development of sickle cell is

1) Recent
2) Of different geographical and ethnic origin (Senegal, Benin, Bantu) (different mutational events on different chromosome!)

So even if Ancient Egyptians had one version of the sickle disease trait, which I highly doubt. It wouldn't be the same one as the rest of African people. Just another concurrent and independent development of such trait.

You are right of course. If there's anybody who can steer the discussion in a new direction it's you since you have access to the full study I think.

There's nothing much I can add except to say I'm extremely happy about the results. It seems the Ancient Egyptian were composed of a wide variety of mainly African lineages (A, B and E) who settled along the Nile after the desertification of the Sahara. It seems to go in line with previous aDNA studies about Kemetians, that is the DNA Tribes study and the study about Ramses III being E1b1a. A bold step for black African people to reclaim their historical heritage. After the publishing of the report, I hope for more aDNA studies,also for more archeological studies to be done in Egypt, Africa and the Ancient Sahara regions. I also hope than in the next few years mainstream egyptology will catch up with those genetic results and other discoveries made in the Nabta Playa sites, Mali, Niger, etc.

I can't wait to see the full study!

Since you're here Beyoku, maybe you can answer this... I think you already told us those samples are not from royal mummies. But are they from commoners, farmers, important "scribes", etc. What type of tombs do they come from? Is there more info about what location/region those remains come from: Upper/lower Ancient Egypt, Waset, Mennefer, elsewhere, etc? Do some of those remains have names and status in Ancient Egypt or even an history of their accomplishments (Ancient Egyptians like to list their accomplishments, status and the diverse positions they held in the society in their tombs)?

I dont have the full study. I dont know when the full study will be published. It was assumed to be published this year but the work was cut short due to the political situation in the country.

I CAN say they are not Royal.
This could be a snapshot of ONE location or up to 4 locations in the Nile Valley....at this time I cannot say which. This is all the limited data I have.

At this point we dont know if the lineages represent wide spread migration INTO or out of the Nile Valley. I dont wnat to jump the gun. I would assume the E1b1a would be OUT OF. Mainly because the lack of E1a which is a CORE West African Sahelian lineage. I dont know how a CORE lineage like this, from an area that has great pre-historical clout..... could be missing in a migration from the West that included E1b1a. The E2a and the E2 which could be E2b is also up for grabs. These are two very old lineages E2b being widespread. Peaking in Burkina Faso, Cameroon and South Africa. E2a is on the other hand concentrated around the Great Lakes region.


IMO A3b2 is Saharan. And i dont quite know about B2a

this is my personal experience
though I won't give implicit examples
because the correspondences were and remain private confidential person-person

PC won't allow 'em to write
what they really think
and privately discuss among each other

let this one example suffice

I asked if a mistake was made placing Nigeria in NA in one report

the response was due to Fulani
I was told
despite language and location of Fulani in WA
linkage disequilibrium and other data (uncited btw)
indicates Fulani are 40-50% NA

no lie

Fulani madness

Like Hassan's Fulani Madness
in using Fulani in E Afr nrY
to say Fulani are separate

avoid the halPulaaren homeland

Don't know what the balance is among researchers,
ie, the amount of people who secretly subscribe
to this view and who don't. I would like to say
they are only a small minority, but some details
may point to the opposite. Some researchers are
literally two faced snakes, in that they say one
thing in their papers, but come out saying the
opposite in their private conversations with you.
Charlie Bass already posted his email
correspondences with Kanya Godde, who apparently
thinks, in private, that Nubians are unrelated to
Sub-Saharan Africans and derive from separate
Homo Erectus archaics. When you contrast these
private held views with what she publishes and
whom she quotes in the introduction sections of
her papers, to sum up past research on the matter
(Keita among others), you get a totally different
picture.

I'm also right now talking to someone in private
about an Egyptologist who has written several
books, which seemingly cite data that support
Egypto-Nubian relationships, but in this
Egyptologists' private conversation with the
person I'm talking to, the floodgates of
Eurocentrism open up every time this Egyptologist
writes back. You're right on the money that some
of these people are not who they're
publicly making themselves out to be.

Before I conclude this post, look at this:

To fill this gap, we analyzed a sample of
240 unrelated subjects from a northwest Algeria
cosmopolitan population using mtDNA sequences and
Y-chromosome biallelic polymorphisms, focusing on
the fine dissection of haplogroups E and R, which
are the most prevalent in North Africa and Europe
respectively. The Eurasian component in
Algeria reached
80% for mtDNA and 90% for
Y-chromosome.
However, within them, the North
African genetic component for mtDNA (U6 and M1;
20%) is significantly smaller than the paternal
(E-M81 and E-V65; 70%).

--Bekada et al 2013

These people don't even make it a secret that
they're straight up counting E-M81 and E-M78 as
Eurasian lineages. [Eek!]

Yes

the corollary to Hamiticism is Caucasian NE Africa
despite NE Africa is not nor even near the Caucasus

I was exposed to this by what was available in the 70s
particularly YY benJochannan as in the map below

This is what informs academia and remains in the background behind academicians minds

from time to time it demands a look see

Yes, this Cruciani study is referring to the back migration in Africa of F descendant haplogroup like R1b. Which of course is true. Any F descendent haplogroups in Africa are the product of a back migration. No link with Hamiticism. Obviously this is a good thing, we don't want humans or Africans to be genetically isolated from one another too much. A diversity of DNA is a good thing for the survival of any population.

For egyptologist, there's indeed many people still refuting the black African origin of Ancient Egyptians. That's why we're happy about the study results posted by Beyoku. Study like the one posted by Beyoku when it will be published, the results of Ramses III analysis and future aDNA analysis of Kemites remains, as well as archeological works like the one done near Nabta Playa in the sahara desert will change things slowly but surely. There's no way around it.

That was not at all the material I refer to

Since u r just as w/o a clue as the Lioness, I'll give the quote


An ancient human back migration from Asia to Africa had already been proposed by Altheide and Hammer (1997) and Hammer et al. (1998, 2001), on the basis of nested cladistic analysis of Y-chromosome data. They suggested that the presence of YAP+ chromosomes in Africa was due to such an event, but this has recently been questioned by Underhill et al. (2001b) and Underhill and Roseman (2001), primarily on the basis of the Asian-specific YAP+ subclade that neutralizes the previous phylogenetic inferences. Thus, the only evidence of a migration from Asia to sub-Saharan Africa that is fully supported by Y-chromosome data relies, at least for the moment, on the finding of haplogroup IX chromosomes in Cameroon.


Again

Cruciani refutes E back migration he doesn't refute that some uphold E back migration.

Cruciani listed a few proponents of E back migration in an old report.
A Back Migration from Asia to Sub-Saharan Africa Is Supported by High-Resolution Analysis of Human Y-Chromosome Haplotypes

There are still proponents of that old opinion.

There will always be academic bias against "the Negro"

Patrol and most ES vets do not analyze Ancient Egyptian origin solely
on one line of evidence, nor is DNA the last word in any analysis. DNA
is just another line of evidence that has to be confirmed and balanced
against others. DNA evidence can be manipulated
or distorted just like any other. How often has
sampling been manipulated for example in Nile Valley studies.
As S.O.Y Keita himself recommends on one of the
Cambridge videos- there is a need for multiple lines of data- including:

--Limb proportion
--Cranial
--Dental
--Cultural/historical
--Archaealogical
--DNA


Together or separately they confirm that as one scholar says:

"must be placed in the context of
hypotheses informed by archaeological,
linguistic, geographic and other data. In
such contexts, the physical
anthropological evidence indicates that
early Nile Valley populations can be
identified as part of an African lineage,
but exhibiting local variation. This
variation represents the short and long
term effects of evolutionary forces, such
as gene flow, genetic drift, and natural
selection, influenced by culture and
geography."

All the contrary, it says: Recently, it has been proposed that E3b originated in sub-Saharan Africa and expanded into the Near East and northern Africa at the end of the Pleistocene [Underhill et al. 2001] Which is of course true.
read the whole think at the link if you feel like it. I was assuming it is what Tukuler was talking about. Maybe I didn't excerpt the relevant parts, didn't look at it super closely yet, wait until Tukuler shows up maybe he will have more to say about it

I don't think Ancient Egypt is a "pan African" civilization the sense that some build it up to
be- as if it was some sort of "central headquarters"
for civilization in Africa. Africa doesn't need any
"central headquarters". The genesis, the source is
on the bio-historical ground level- the Sahara and
other regions. These are "the groundings"...

Egyptian in a close relationship with
languages spoken today as far west as
Chad, and as far south as Somalia.
Archaeological evidence also strongly
supports an African origin. A widespread
northeastern African cultural assemblage,
including distinctive multiple barbed
harpoons and pottery decorated with
dotted wavy line patterns, appears during
the early Neolithic (also known as the
Aqualithic, a reference to the mild
climate of the Sahara at this time).
Saharan and Sudanese rock art from this
time resembles early Egyptian
iconography. Strong connections
between Nubian (Sudanese) and
Egyptian material culture continue in
later Neolithic Badarian culture of Upper
Egypt. Similarities include black-topped
wares, vessels with characteristic
ripple-burnished surfaces, a special
tulip-shaped vessel with incised and
white-filled decoration, palettes, and
harpoons...

Other ancient Egyptian practices show
strong similarities to modern African
cultures including divine kingship, the
use of headrests, body art, circumcision,
and male coming-of-age rituals, all
suggesting an African substratum or
foundation for Egyptian civilization
(rather than diffusion from sub-Saharan
Africa, as claimed by some Afrocentric
scholars.)"

Some have argued that that
African-Americans Should not “interfere”
with Nile Valley history, and have “no
connection” to said history, and
self-styled “concerned” Egyptians, both
bogus and real sometimes put in an
apparent appearance to lecture said
‘African Americans.” or “Black
Americans.” But if the conservative
mainstream reference itself shows that
numerous ancient Egyptian cultural links
and similarities to other parts of “Black
Africa”, including MODERN African
cultures, how come African Americans
are supposed to sit quietly and say
nothing?

“African Americans" are not obsessively
tracing their history back to Egypt as
alleged by assorted blowhards and pundits.
They don't need to any such tracing, nor do
they need "permission" from self-styled
Arab nativists, alleged "Egyptian"
natives/nativists, Egypto-Arabs,
or white people to study
and comment on Egypt.

The Sahara was once a lush greenbelt
extending across one-third of Africa,
allowing the easy movement of peoples.
Its climatic cycles - the famous Saharan
"pump" - was to create conditions for the
movement of peoples into the Nile
Valley, the Sahelian zone and elsewhere.
But it remains the foundation.

Informed African-Americans thus do not
conceive of Egypt as being created out of
thin air. Nor do they rely on the truism
that "Egypt is in Africa."
They begin at the Saharan zone, which
provided the main source for the
peopling of the Nile Valley, and laid the
foundation, and was the genesis of the
Nile Valley Civilization, and also was the
genesis of the West African kingdoms adjoining it.
The Sahara is the linking pin- the motor of
Africa's bio-cultural evolution. This is where
"African Americans" start.


The eternal Sahara is the key, the starting point,
the genesis, the fundamental force. Egypt
follows AFTER and derives from that broad Saharan
foundation, not before. So do the civilizations of
Western Africa. There is no need to seek
"inspiration" from latecomers like Rameses or Cleopatra.
The "inspiration" springs from the starting point,
the African cultures that gave rise to the Egyptian
dynastic civilization. It is from that genesis, that
launching point, that other developments are appreciated,
in all their cIt ontinuity.

Pyramids do not have to appear in Nigeria to recognize
the fundamental substratum of African cultures from Jos to Memphis, just
as temples to Apollo do not need to appear in Sweden for Swedes
to acknowledge the fundamental Indo-European cultural strands
uniting Greeks and Swedes. The hypocritical double standard
that has no problem with Greeks worshipping Egyptian gods in temples
dedicated to them, yet suddenly finds a "problem" when African
kingship patterns from far south (jubilees, rainmaker, regicide etc)
or African religous influces from south (numerous animal deities, i.e.
panther gods, grass skirts and regalia) appear both in Egypt and other
African areas to the south, speaks volumes as to the real racist motivation
of those who want to whitewash Egypt out of African context.

The final exposure of white or Egypto-Arab proxy hypocrisy is demostrated by the Nubians.
The people closest to the ancient Etyptians are the Nubians, not white
Europeans, not "Middle Easterners." But the hypocrites have a problem
with Nubians 300 miles away from Egypt, but no problem with saying
Swedes and Greeks thousands of miles apart re all Europran. The former
somehow can;t be African, but the latter is waved in as European. Such is
white hypocrisy.

[Quote by another conservative
mainstream scholar:]


"There is now a sufficient body of
evidence from modern studies of skeletal
remains to indicate that the ancient
Egyptians, especially southern Egyptians,
exhibited physical characteristics that are
within the range of variation for ancient
and modern indigenous peoples of the
Sahara and tropical Africa.." (Nancy C.
Lovell, " Egyptians, physical
anthropology of," in Encyclopedia of the
Archaeology of Ancient Egypt, ed.
Kathryn A. Bard and Steven Blake
Shubert, ( London and New York:
Routledge, 1999) pp 328-332)


The Sahara was also a key player in the
great West African civilizations that were
to arise as well- Mali, Ghana, Timbuktu
etc., ranging from the Saharan trade, to
the transmission of knowledge, to the
transmission of new methods and
technologies.

The Sahara is the great linking pin and
transmission belt culturally. It is also the
great climate and environmental motor
that shaped one-third of Africa. As one
study notes:

From:
Climate-Controlled Holocene
Occupation in the Sahara: Motor of
Africa's Evolution
by Rudolph Kuper and Stefan Kröpelin*

”Radiocarbon data from 150
archaeological excavations in the now
hyper-arid Eastern Sahara of Egypt,
Sudan, Libya, and Chad reveal close
links between climatic variations and
prehistoric occupation during the past
12,000 years. Synoptic multiple-indicator
views for major time slices demonstrate
the transition from initial settlement after
the sudden onset of humid conditions at
8500 B.C.E. to the exodus resulting from
gradual desiccation since 5300 B.C.E.
Southward shifting of the desert margin
helped trigger the emergence of
pharaonic civilization along the Nile,
influenced the spread of pastoralism
throughout the continent, and affects
sub-Saharan Africa to the present
day.”



Informed African Americans place Egypt
in its proper context as a tropical
civilization. They don’t begin any
exploration of African civilizations with
Egypt, they start with AFRICA ITSELF,
from which the genesis, the foundational
elements sprung, that provided the
basis or substratum for that civilization.
The Sahara is one such central
foundational element. It is in that broad
Saharan zone for example that the ancients
created theih huge megaliths of stone, and
designed calendars and other astonomical alignments.
It is from that broad zone that the cattle cults of
NE Africa developed- cults that were to figure so
prominently in Egyptian religion. It is from the
African genesis that other concepts such as divine
kingship, and the art iconography of Egypt developed.
It is from the Saharan zone (which extends well into
the Sudan) that patterns of technology in pottery,
toolmaking, mummification, and numerous other influences
emerged that were to distinguish ancient Egypt.
ANy "inspiration" taken by African-American begins
with a foundation based on the ground, in Africa.


There are other
“African Americans” who look even
further back than the Saharan mix
mentioned above. They look back to the
dawn of modern humanity, which
emerged from “sub-Saharan” Africa, then
proceeded to Northeast Africa, (also "sub Saharan"
by the way), and from there to the rest of the
globe by various exit routes. Again, the
starting point for any discussion remains AFRICA itself.

[quote]:
“These studies suggest a recent and
primary subdivision between African and
non-African populations, high levels of
divergence among African populations,
and a recent shared common ancestry of
non-African populations, from a
population originating in Africa. ...
populations in northeastern Africa may
have diverged from those in the rest of
sub-Saharan Africa early in the history of
modern African populations and that a
subset of this northeastern-African
population migrated out of Africa and
populated the rest of the globe. These
conclusions are supported by recent
mtDNA analysis (Quintana-Murci et al.
1999)."
[Tishkoff et al. (2000) Short
Tandem-Repeat Polymorphism.. Am J
Hum Genet; 67:901-925]


African-Americans thus don't need
anyone to tell them how they "should"
think about Egypt, the Nile Valley, the
Sahara or any other part of Africa, nor
do they need "clearance" or "approval"
from would be, reputed or alleged
"concerned Egyptians" or presumptuous
white or Arab lecturers to place Egypt in its
scientifically documented African context.

Of course I agree with you. The Ancient Egyptian African origin, ethnicity, culture, history, characteristics must be studied with a multidisciplinary approach. Even if aDNA genetic is something very solid in term of identifying which lineages it sprung from. I just disagreed about the use of the sickle cell traits as a proof that Ancient Egyptian are related to other black Africans. I think I made of good job at explaining why above. The sickle cell traits have been proven to appear concurrently in different African populations (as well as elsewhere in the world). That is different mutational events on different chromosome! So.

See here:
http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=008622;p=3#000107

and here:
http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=008622;p=3#000109


I agree about the multidisciplinary approach, but by using obviously wrong argumentation it only undermine what we try to prove/demonstrate in the first place. Maybe the expression "peripheral evidence" is a bad choice of word, I should have said 'wrong evidence' instead but I didn't' want to sound too confrontational.

It's like on the other site. There was some very interesting poster who tried unfortunately to use the rock formation in Niger (iirc) that looked like a pyramid as a proof of the cultural link between black Africans and Ancient Egyptians. Those link exist and there's many argumentation for it. But this specific argumentation was wrong because those "pyramid" were determined to be only rock formation dating something like 100 000 years ago (i don't remember the exact dating). Using those rock formations that look like pyramid as a proof that Ancient Egyptian and black Africans from Niger are related is wrong. It's just wrong. Even if, as you know, I believe strongly that it is the case. I believe strongly than ancient people from the Niger (during the green sahara period) are linked with Ancient Egyptians. I made a whole thread about it on this forum. I often talk about the Saharan-Sahel-Nile civilization. The oldest pottery in Africa is found in Mali. Mummification pre-dating Ancient Egypt can be found in southern Libya. The burial tumulus tradition of the ancient Saharans combined with the use of megalith (like in Nabta Playa) can be a considered a prelude to the creation of pyramid (I didn't post about it yet on this forum, I will do it in the future), there's many cultural and religious linkage with people from the Green Sahara period (the wavy line pottery civilization) like in Mali and Niger with Ancient Egyptians, etc etc etc etc. All those proof were found despite the dearth of archeological works undertaken in the Saharan desert and Africa in general. It's just that the pyramid-like rock formation and the sickle cell thing are wrong argumentations that only undermine the whole issue because they are obviously wrong. Same thing with trying to steal other people's haplogroup like F descendant haplogroup While there's a lot of other solid argumentation linking people from the Sahara as far as the Atlantic coast (especially southern Mali, Niger, and the western Egyptian desert) with people from the Nile Valley.

See one of my thread about it:
http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=008330;p=1#000000

I'm not destroying those wrong argumentation because I want to undermine the issue. Nor because i'm looking for a fight. All the contrary. I want to make the argumentation stronger by eliminating obviously wrong mistake and error (like those pyramid thing or that sickle cell thing or the ridiculous claim about the African origin of foreign haplogroups) which then undermine the credibility of the whole issue!! I hope Tukuler, you and others understand when I do that. If you see my thread about the peopling of the Sahara during the Green Sahara period. You can see, I'm a strong proponent of the linkage between so-called sub-Saharan Africans and Ancient Egypt. Obviously the study results posted by Beyoku about the aDNA of Ancient Kemetian remains got me very happy. Those results combined with other multidisciplinary proof and other aDNA studies like the DNA Tribes results and Ramses III being E1b1a is practically the ultimate confirmation of it all. I think even mainstream egyptology won't be able to avoid the issue (or talk about it quickly as sometimes they do now, almost as a side note like when they say "while there's some cultural and religious similarities between sub-saharans Africans and Ancient Egyptians, Ancient Egyptians are mostly blablabla").

You are right of course. If there's anybody who can steer the discussion in a new direction it's you since you have access to the full study I think.

There's nothing much I can add except to say I'm extremely happy about the results. It seems the Ancient Egyptian were composed of a wide variety of mainly African lineages (A, B and E) who settled along the Nile after the desertification of the Sahara. It seems to go in line with previous aDNA studies about Kemetians, that is the DNA Tribes study and the study about Ramses III being E1b1a. A bold step for black African people to reclaim their historical heritage. After the publishing of the report, I hope for more aDNA studies,also for more archeological studies to be done in Egypt, Africa and the Ancient Sahara regions. I also hope than in the next few years mainstream egyptology will catch up with those genetic results and other discoveries made in the Nabta Playa sites, Mali, Niger, etc.

I can't wait to see the full study!

Of course all of us are glade to see these results even thou it's in premature fashion. No discussion about that.

Sickle Cell in Egypt has so far been shown to be
exclusively of the Benin variety. No reason
to believe this would have been different in
ancient times. Indeed, the distribution of the
Benin haplotype closely matches the path mtDNA
L1b1a8, l2a1k and NRY E-M78 carrying Nile Valley
groups would have traversed in the Middle East
and Eastern Europe in the Epi-Palaeolithic.

I will admit, as I said above, that I didn't study the situation about the sickle cell very much and go with what was posted in this thread (and the other study I read because of it). According to the study posted by Troll, the Benin variety (as any other variety for that matter) is said to be relatively recent. What I understood by this is that the chromosome mutation responsible for the sickle cell is a relatively recent development (the study even talk about the importance of the Malaria as a major disease in Africa to also be relatively recent).

quote:
Our results suggest that the sickle cell gene may have been preferentially introduced through males of migrating west African tribes (Figure 1), particularly Hausa-Fulani, and Bagara in the large migrations that began in the eighteenth century and escalated during the nineteenth and early twentieth century . The estimates of a recent figure of 1–3 generations for the introduction of the gene and associated haplotypes to eastern Sahel, is consistent with demography during the past 100 years and with a hypothesis of a recent origin of malaria as a major human infection
The other study, I quoted in the above post talks about the "caravan" route in the desert responsible for the distribution of the gene in Northern Africa (that is the Benin variety in Northern Africa and Europe). Thus something relatively recent. Did other studies (or those studies if I misread things)are compatible with such an ancient date (as far back as New Kingdom time) for the development of the sickle cell mutation? If they call it the Benin variety doesn't it means that it started in Benin then was transferred to Northern Africa and the rest of Africa? Thus the origin of the mutation, that is the the first human to have that specific mutation was in Benin? Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm just curious about it.

Don't get me wrong, it would be nice if it wasn't recent. It would maybe mean that there's a gene transfer from Benin (West Africa) to North Africa, Europe and Ancient Egypt in ancient time (or vice versa if it started in Kemet or around it). But the studies quoted seem to talk about a much more recent time for the timing of the expansion of the Benin gene variety into northern Africa and elsewhere.

I haven't studied it in-depth either, I'm just
making inferences. I'm well aware that many
researchers think of sickle cell is a relatively
recent disease, but I've seen no molecular
specifics for it. In fact, Sickle Cell consistent
internal lesions keep cropping up in both
dynastic and pre-dynastic mummies. Yes, some
TMRCA estimates have been performed, but the
authors themselves admit that the estimated
haplotypes involve very recent Sahelian
expansions. I'm simply putting the pieces of the
puzzle together.

--West/Central Africa is the region the Benin SC
associated haplotype peaks, and it is also where
L1b and L2a emerged ~30kya and ~50kya,
respectively, in a Pre-Niger Congo context. From
this expansive region both lineages expanded to
North Africa 15-10kya in the form of L1b1a and
L2a1. See Zheng et al 2012

--Both of these lineages (L1b1a and L2a1) have
been found in Neolithic Eurasian aDNA. The former
in Chalcolithic Spain and the latter in Pre
Pottery Neolithic Syria. Both are also found in
dynastic Egyptian aDNA (see the OP).

--Ancient L2a1 survives in some modern Jewish
groups and L1b1a and L2a1 survives in (Eastern)
Europeans and their examples of L2a1 are closer
to West/Central African versions than Ethiopian
versions:

quote:
If I go back to the HVR1-only level, then there's a large number of

*no* matches listed from Egypt, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, or Sudan,
which is the area of the world where you'd expect to see an
African/Jewish overlap.

The oldest Eurasian versions of L1b1a

The Complex and Diversified Mitochondrial Gene Pool
of Berber Populations

C. Coudray1∗ 2008'


" Eurasian U macrohaplogroup is subdivided into U1 to U9 (with the exception of U6 restricted to North Africa) and K lineages. U has an extremely broad geographical distribution and accounts for about 20% of European mtDNA sequences (Herrnstadt et al. 2002). In this study, it is represented by four haplogroups: U2, U3, U4 and U5. U2 can be found at low frequencies in populations of western Asia and the Caucasus. Here, it was observed only in the Berbers from Bouhria, by two subclades, U2b (1 sequence) and U2e (2 sequences). U3 is observed at 1.1% (U3a) and 1.3% (U3) in samples from Figuig and Siwa, respectively. This haplogroup has a frequency peak in the Near East (Achilli et al. 2007). U4 haplogroup is spread at moderate frequencies all over Europe, western Siberia, and southwestern Asia (Richards et al. 2000). Only one sequence from Bouhria belongs to U4. U5, one of the most ancient subhaplogroup of U, occurs in most cases as occasional haplotypes that are derived from European lineages (Achilli et al. 2005; Richards et al. 2000). In 16.7% of Siwi samples, it appears as U5b, a lineage suggesting back-migration of people from Europe to the South (Torroni et al. 2006). One Berber from Asni also bears this sequence......

genetic ex- changes could have taken place during prehistory, while Eu- ropean populations retreated from ice sheets and expanded from refuge, around 15,000 years ago (as evidenced by the H and U5b mitochondrial lineages). Alternatively, these ex- changes could have occurred during history, with the invasion and the occupation during nearly seven centuries (from the 8th to the 15th century) of the Iberian Peninsula by Almora- vide then Almohade Muslim Berber troops."

Saami and Berbers--an unexpected mitochondrial DNA link.

Am J Hum Genet.

It is striking that the sequence divergence of U5b1b, the subclade encompassing mtDNAs from the Saami, Yakut, Berbers, and Fulbe, was 1.7 ± 0.5 substitutions, thus corresponding to only 8.6 ± 2.4 ky.....

Thus, although these previous studies have highlighted the role of the Franco-Cantabrian refuge area as a major source of the hunter-gatherer populations that gradually repopulated much of central and northern Europe when climatic conditions began to improve ~15 ky ago, the identification of U5b1b now unequivocally links the maternal gene pool of the ancestral Berbers to the same refuge area and indicates that European hunter-gatherers also moved toward the south and, by crossing the Strait of Gibraltar, contributed their U5b1b, H1, H3, and V mtDNAs to modern North Africans.

Interesting post. You sure make a good case. Although a coincidence is possible because humans often tend to use similar migration route even during different migration events separated in time. Especially when you consider that the sickle cell mutation is said to be relatively recent.

Again, I may very well be wrong about the overlap
between the Epi-Palaeolithic coalescing
haplogroups and Benin HbS in Eurasia (a much
weaker, but competing case can be made for the
idea that these Benin HbS cases are exclusively
associated with later, more recent mtDNA L type
associated migrations), but one thing I'm not
wrong in is that SC is an ancient condition.
Pred. mummies with SC characteristics in their
bone and skin tissue have already been confirmed
to be HbS positive! The only thing that hasn't
conclusively been proven is whether these ancient
SC cases are of the Benin type, but this is
implied due to the overwhelming, almost exclusive
share of Benin HbS in modern Egypt.

On the basis of a sample of 117 chromosomes,
we have demonstrated the multicentric origin of
the sickle mutation in Northern Oman. Three major
haplotypes coexist: 52.1% Benin (typical and
atypicals), 26.7% Arab-India, and 21.4% Bantu.
These haplotypes are not autochthonous to Oman
but originated elsewhere and arrived in Oman by
gene flow. The distribution of haplotypes is
in excellent agreement with the historical
record, which establishes clear ancient contacts
between Oman and sub-Sahara west Africa and
explains the presence of the Benin haplotype;

contacts with Iraq, Iran, present-day Pakistan,
and India explain the presence of the Arab-India
haplotype. More recent contacts with East Africa
(Zanzibar/Mombasa) explain the presence of the
Bantu haplotype. The pattern of the Arab-India
haplotype in the populations of the Arabian
peninsula reinforces the hypothesis that this
particular mutation originated in the Harappa
culture or in a nearby population and in addition
reveals that the Sassanian Empire might have been
the vehicle by which this Indo-European sickle
mutation migrated (gene flow) to the present-day
Arabian peninsula, including Oman.

There is absolutely no reason why Benin HbS
should exceed Bantu HbS in frequency, or indeed,
even be present in noteworthy freqs, if, as you
say, HbS has a recent origin. The Zanj slaves
that were imported to Arabia in Medieval times
would logically be primarily associated with
Bantu HbS, not Benin HbS. How can Benin HbS in
Oman, to the tune of 52%, be explained in the
scenario that it originated only recently?

internal lesions keep cropping up in both
dynastic and pre-dynastic mummies. Yes, some
TMRCA estimates have been performed, but the
authors themselves admit that the estimated
haplotypes involve very recent Sahelian
expansions. I'm simply putting the pieces of the
puzzle together.

--West/Central Africa is the region the Benin SC
associated haplotype peaks, and it is also where
L1b and L2a emerged ~30kya and ~50kya,
respectively, in a Pre-Niger Congo context. From
this expansive region both lineages expanded to
North Africa 15-10kya in the form of L1b1a and
L2a1. See Zheng et al 2012

--Both of these lineages (L1b1a and L2a1) have
been found in Neolithic Eurasian aDNA. The former
in Chalcolithic Spain and the latter in Pre
Pottery Neolithic Syria. Both are also found in
dynastic Egyptian aDNA (see the OP).

--Ancient L2a1 survives in some modern Jewish
groups and L1b1a and L2a1 survives in (Eastern)
Europeans and their examples of L2a1 are closer
to West/Central African versions than Ethiopian
versions:

quote:
If I go back to the HVR1-only level, then there's a large number of
matches listed, but split quite obviously between Jewish and African
groups -- a number of different specific tribes from Cameroon,
Guinea-Bissau, and Sierra Leone, in particular, are listed. There are
*no* matches listed from Egypt, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, or Sudan,
which is the area of the world where you'd expect to see an
African/Jewish overlap.

link

The oldest Eurasian versions of L1b1a
and L2a1 coalesce to ~10kya, consistent with
Epi-Palaeolithic migration from Egypt, associated
with E-M78.

--Benin sickle cell regions in Africa have high
L1b and L2a and, surprise surprise, Benin sickle
predominates in European nations where 1/3, 2/3
or 3/3 of the aforementioned Epi-Palaeolithic
associated lineages have been found been found.
In all implied regions, namely, West/Central
Africa, the Nile Valley, the Levant, South-
Eastern Europe the predominant SC variant is
always the Benin one.

Coincidence? I think not.

SC was spread to South and West Asia by Sumerian,Dravidian and other Niger-Congo speakers 5kya. The Benin and Senegal HbS probably originated in the Saharan Highlands and Nubia the original homeland of the Niger-Congo people.

The Dravidian people share cultural and linguistic features with Africans [10-14]. The archaeological
evidence suggest that the Dravidian people belonged to the C-Group people of Nubia and migrated to
India 5kya [9,10-11]. The Dravidian origination in Nubia, the original home of the Niger-Congo
speakers who carry the Benin and Senegal HbS would explain the existence of African HbS
haplotypes in India. These haplotypes in India suggest that they already existed among Dravidian and
Niger-Congo speaking populations before they separated 5kya.

The HbS chromosome haplotypes of the Indian Tribals were Arab-Indian with 25% of the haplotypes
possessing the epsilon polymorphic site identical to the Senegal6b. The Senegal and Indian sickle cell
share haplotypes [8]. The Arab-Indian and Senegal haplotypes share the C!T mutation at position -158
4,7.

In India the Benin HbS is the most common haplotype in western India. To account for the presence
of this haplotype in India researchers argue that African slaves took this gene to India.
There are problems with this theory. The major problem with the slave trade solution for the
transmission of the Benin haplotype to India, is that the African slaves in India are mainly of Somali-
Ethiopian origin—not West African origin .

Not really though. You may see a lot of different lineages maybe because you are unfamiliar with the lineages. The Eurasian ones aside. Nearly all the lineages in question can be explained by looking at only a few ancestral groups - The ancestors of Proto Afroasitcs from the Horn of Africa, Ancestors of Nilo-Saharans and the affinity with West Africans via the Sahel / Chad Basin.

Most of this modern diversity can be found in Siwa Egyptians.

--Marin et al 1999

The Marin et al 1999 study that I didn't knew about changes everything. I don't like to use modern population as prototype for ancient population so for me, as you say, it's all about determining if the Hbs gene in Ancient Egyptian remains was the Benin variety or another isolated mutation (on a different chromosome).

Maybe it's because we don't have access to the full study. But what I don't understand is how can we not know which variety of the Hbs gene was in Ancient Egyptian mummies? Since the differnt varieties are on different location (and chromosome apparently) on the DNA, the Marin study, which have been able to find the Hbs gene in Ancient Egyptian remains, must know which chromosome (or location in general) the Hbs gene of Ancient Egyptian remains have. Doesn't it? They found it, they know it.

Is it possible to detect the Hbs gene (not the trait but the gene) and not know which variety it is?

I now beginning to believe the great possibility of Ancient Egyptian and so-called sub-saharan African sharing the sickle cell gene (and not just the traits, which have been shown to sprung in different independent location). And thus the Benin variety to be really ancient and having been brought to Ancient Egypt in ancient time. I don't know much about the Zanj (beside reading a bit about the rebellion and the unrelated Zanzibar revolution). But just to play the devil's advocate here, I can say that it's possible that the Oman Benin sickle cell variety was brought relatively recently by a different circumstances than the Zanj. Since the sickle cell gene (contrary to most haplotype, I would say) has a strong selective pressure. It doesn't take that much introduction of the Hbs sickle cell gene to any location for it to then become highly prevalent. People who don't have it, simply die of malaria in a region strongly touched by that disease. So, it's easy to reach 52% of the population rather quickly because of the strong selective pressure of the Hbs gene. Obviously, the Benin variety may as well have been brought in ancient time in that region.

Although what I am more curious about, as I said before, is to have access to the Marin study to see what variety of the sickle cell gene the Ancient Kemetian remains had.

Ramses III being E1b1a as well as the DNA Tribes results are other cases in point. Ancient Egyptians were fully black Africans (aka like modern so-called sub-saharan Africans). No need for fringe theory for this.

While everybody can enunciate fringe theory, as I said above, it's anybody's right, I think it does a disservice to African history. It makes the whole black African origin of Ancient Egyptian look extremely fringe when in reality it is (now) completely confirmed by modern genetic analysis of aDNA from Ancient Egyptian remains.

This is one of the most "mainstream" geneticists way to view the haplogroups origin situation:

 -

We don't even need to state fringe theory about haplogroups origin. Ancient Egyptians were mostly from the A, B, E descendant haplogroups which are usually considered African in origin (aka not the product of a back migration from Eurasia).

I don't understand what you mean by "fringe theory". There is nothing "fringe" about speculating whether certain clades truly were of African origin since their postulated 'Near-Eastern' origins are rather close to the African continent and that some early derivatives if not original upstream markers of that clade are found on the African continent as well. This is what I'm getting at! You're right about certain clades may be quintessentially African such but that doesn't mean it is somehow fringe to question the Eurasian identity of some clades. This doesn't mean I don't accept any scenarios of back-migrations as there was nothing to stop Eurasians from migrating back to Africa, however like Keita I tend to be cautious since migrations back-and-forth between Africa and Southwest Asia a.k.a. the 'Near East' seemed to have been continuous.

Okay, but what does this have to do with the DNA results of the (Ancient) Egyptian remains?

If I didn't know any better I'd say you are trying to compensate for the lack of 'mixing' in ancient times with mixing in more recent times. So modern North Africans are mixed and have been since the end of the 1st millennium. So what? Apparently Europeans have been mixed since the mesolithic. Your point?

Thanks for the advice but you're friends at the biodiversity forum just locked your thread because of your posts apparently. LOL

I guess the whole thread was too much to take for those people (or that person). Ancient Kemetians remains determined to be mainly African haplotypes like A, B and E. Added to other aDNA analysis like the DNA tribes results on the 18th and 20th dynasty royal mummies (autosomal STR) and the result about Ramses III being E1b1a. = Gasket blown. Diop would be happy to see the development of the situation.

Diop we remember! It was a long and harduous road for Africans to reclaim their historical heritage, but now more and more evidences (archeological, linguistic, genetics) proves we were right all along. At one time, they said Ancient Egyptians were Africans only religiously and culturally. Now genetics confirm the whole package.

They wouldn't have locked the thread if it was full of non-African haplotypes (R, J, etc). Beyoku is a respected poster there, while anything is possible it's unlikely he lied to us about that study preview (he's more like an uncle tom kind of poster, no offense).

the supposed need for autosomal DNA. Of course
uniparental lineages don't effectively gauge
genome-wide admixture, but, potential minor
discrepancies aside, they cannot contradict or be
wholly overturned by the picture painted by such
analysis either. That's unprecedented and unheard of.

He wants to act like these STR profiles are
nothing out of the ordinary, but offers no
explanation as to why modern Egyptians fail to
give the same STR results as the ancient royals.
Nope nothing wrong here. Of course my position
hasn't just been nuked by the alarming fact that
royal remains are several times closer to African
populations than modern Egyptians. That means
nothing! Just wait until SNP genome-wide analysis
does what has never been done before... totally
overturn STR analysis.

In fact, DNA Tribes already inputed the autosomal STR value of the 18th and 20th Dynasty royal mummies in their population database and the results were African all the same. No match to modern Egyptians, modern North Africans, modern Berbers, Levantine, Europeans and what not. Only African groups (Great Lakes, Southern, Western African primarily). While the DNA Tribes population database (of STR value) is commercial, it's hard to believe it would be far off. And this study as well as the other study about Ramses III being E1b1a confirm the DNA Tribes results.

Here's a passage from the DNA Tribes study about the 20th Dynasty royal mummies:
quote:
Specifically, both of these ancient individuals inherited the alleles D21S11=35 and CSFIPO=7, which are found throughout Sub-Saharan Africa but are comparatively rare or absent in other regions of the world . These African related alleles are different from the African related alleles identified for the previously studied Amarna period mummies (D18S51=19 and D21S11=34).11 This provides independent evidence for African autosomal ancestry in two different pharaonic families of New Kingdom Egypt.

I have been called many things, Never that.
My posting history on that site....as well as this one almost always revolve around posting Published studies on Africana for the people of African descent on the board. I am interested in what you think is uncle tomish but I will tell you this:

It gets to a point in your research.....and dealing with professionals in the field (your sources)..where you cannot simply say what you want to say any way you want to say it. Some of the things/images that you write/type/post could jeopardize your relationship with your sources therefore stopping the flow of information and correspondence. If one wants to correspond with Tishkoff, Cruciani, Wells, Stringer, Hassan et al you have to work from the assumption that your web identity is under their eye. There is a reason for everything, reasons that may not be clear at first glance. There is also a reason why that info was posted there first and not here.

As for autosomal data. The first time they run some mummies through ADMIXTURE i can already tell you what is going to happen. This is not based on any secret data just a logical conclusion based on whats happening behind the scenes. Their entire intent is to obfuscate, leave people waiting in the wind for data, or show the Material to be some discrete extinct unit.

1 - There will be no supplemental or K break down.
2 - The Egyptian sample will be royal. The will be multiple samples for the reason below.
3 - Of course the samples will form one cluster as they are inbred.

We will then infer some type of relationship based on the minor presence (or lack thereof) of this "Egyptian" cluster in other Aficans/Non Africans.

world like Ginger, Janus (link) and the mummies
in Italy sequenced by Marin et al. With these
mummies falling under regional European
jurisdiction, they don't have to put up with the
high maintenance queens in the Egyptian antiquities
establishment. I'm surprised about why none of these
mummies haven't been sequenced yet for the purpose
of ascertaining population affinity, like they
did/attempted with Otzi and Kennewick man.

I have been called many things, Never that.
My posting history on that site....as well as this one almost always revolve around posting Published studies on Africana for the people of African descent on the board. I am interested in what you think is uncle tomish but I will tell you this:

It gets to a point in your research.....and dealing with professionals in the field (your sources)..where you cannot simply say what you want to say any way you want to say it. Some of the things/images that you write/type/post could jeopardize your relationship with your sources therefore stopping the flow of information and correspondence. If one wants to correspond with Tishkoff, Cruciani, Wells, Stringer, Hassan et al you have to work from the assumption that your web identity is under their eye. There is a reason for everything, reasons that may not be clear at first glance. There is also a reason why that info was posted there first and not here.

As for autosomal data. The first time they run some mummies through ADMIXTURE i can already tell you what is going to happen. This is not based on any secret data just a logical conclusion based on whats happening behind the scenes. Their entire intent is to obfuscate, leave people waiting in the wind for data, or show the Material to be some discrete extinct unit.

1 - There will be no supplemental or K break down.
2 - The Egyptian sample will be royal. The will be multiple samples for the reason below.
3 - Of course the samples will form one cluster as they are inbred.

We will then infer some type of relationship based on the minor presence (or lack thereof) of this "Egyptian" cluster in other Aficans/Non Africans.

Personally, I think it's all related to history. The history of the Ancient Egyptian history if you pardon me to say. In contemporary time (beyond Ancient Greece), the history of Ancient Egypt has started on some horrible racist propagenda footing, and current scientific works are always based on past scientific works, it will take a few more years before mainstream egyptology finally totally accept the black African origin of Ancient Egyptian. Even other great African civilizations had to pass through those stages. Mainstream egyptology seems to be much more "conservative" than most other liberal historic fields. But I can see the progression already. At one time, Ancient Kemetians were full fledged Europeans, then West Asians, then "hamites" mixed with European, then were culturally and religiously African but not biologically, then there was a African biological substratum to Ancient Egyptians, and with time I think even mainstream egyptology will talk about Ancient Egyptians as a fully black African civilizations. It's a progression. It seems egyptology is a tougher nut to crack than any other aspect of world and African history. Decades of racist propagenda history still affect how scientists analyse current data for some reason. But since the archaeological works in the eastern Saharan desert (western desert of Egypt), it seems even mainstream egyptology has become open to the African substratum in Ancient Egypt. With time, I'm sure, more liberal and academic point of view will triumph and Ancient Egypt history will be considered a wholly African one (well, as much as ancient greece is a wholly European one, lets say). Then it will up to African historians and scientists to write Ancient Kemetians history from their perspective and study aspect that interest African people. An American will almost always write the Russian or Chinese history in a different manner than a Russian and Chinese and it's probably vice-versa. Even if sometimes that manner is totally respectful. As long as African egyptologist, historians, geneticist are on the backseat of their own (ancient Egyptian) history, including for funding research, they will never get to decide how the car is driven. International researchers will eventually admit Ancient Egyptians to be almost fully black Africans but it will still be tackled from a foreign perspectives. From a different cultural filter. Hopefully, in the future more African people tackle egyptian history (not afrocentrist reactionary) and pursue archeological works in Africa (African funded). There's so few archeological works (outside egypt) carried in Africa it's unbelievable. Even the Sahara desert, easier to tackle than "tropical" archeology, is an archeological field that is waiting to explode and reveal more of its mysteries and history.

These are two very old lineages E2b being widespread. Peaking in Burkina Faso, Cameroon and South Africa.
E2a is on the other hand concentrated around the Great Lakes region.

I don't know which branch(es) of E2 are found in the Iberian Peninsula as well as southwest Asia (both Levant and Arabia),

NO! This is definitely not what the genetic data is suggesting.
Virtually all of this genetic data points to lineages or alleles that predate some the major language phyla spoken in the Nile Valley
in historical times, let alone Egyptian civilization itself.
Various peoples have been migrating throughout Africa from one side of the continent to another
well before predynastic times. Thus without this historical context,
one may get the wrong impression that this was somehow a meeting of different peoples across the continent
coming together to form Egypt.

I agree totally. There is no other way to explain the sometimes glaring discrepancies and inconsistencies
in some of these studies on African population genetics.

It's the same game being played on a different ball field. The irony is despite the focus being genetics,
these folks still apparently go by phenotype stereotypes. Note for example they include Chad as 'North Africa' and by implication 'Eurasia' due to
the presence of NRY hg R clade, even though it's frequency there is quite minimal compared to that in Cameroon.
Yet they don't seem keen in including the Benue-Congo (ancestral Bantu) speaking locals as
'North African'. Meanwhile as Zarahan often states Somalia is included as 'North African' despite Somalis having the the highest frequency of E clade.

I've even read reports about Fulani having alleged mitochondrial 'Euraisan' ancestry via hg J. Though this same clade is present among other ethnies that look 'stereotypically' West African. Overall, the Fulani have genetic profiles that are no different from other West Africans who look stereotypically "negroid".

By the way, excellent citation of Yosef Ben-Jochannan. He was a great scholar who like Diop was quick to point out the hypocrisy
and irrationality of the Euronuts. That map and accompanying description looks rather handy. [Wink]

internal lesions keep cropping up in both
dynastic and pre-dynastic mummies. Yes, some
TMRCA estimates have been performed, but the
authors themselves admit that the estimated
haplotypes involve very recent Sahelian

--West/Central Africa is the region the Benin SC

L1b and L2a emerged ~30kya and ~50kya,
respectively, in a Pre-Niger Congo context. From
this expansive region both lineages expanded to
North Africa 15-10kya in the form of L1b1a and
L2a1. See Zheng et al 2012

--Both of these lineages (L1b1a and L2a1) have
been found in Neolithic Eurasian aDNA. The former
in Chalcolithic Spain and the latter in Pre
Pottery Neolithic Syria. Both are also found in
dynastic Egyptian aDNA (see the OP).

--Ancient L2a1 survives in some modern Jewish
groups and L1b1a and L2a1 survives in (Eastern)
Europeans and their examples of L2a1 are closer
to West/Central African versions than Ethiopian
versions:

If I go back to the HVR1-only level, then there's a large number of
matches listed, but split quite obviously between Jewish and African
groups -- a number of different specific tribes from Cameroon,
Guinea-Bissau, and Sierra Leone, in particular, are listed. There are
*no* matches listed from Egypt, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, or Sudan,
which is the area of the world where you'd expect to see an
African/Jewish overlap.
link

The oldest Eurasian versions of L1b1a
and L2a1 coalesce to ~10kya, consistent with
Epi-Palaeolithic migration from Egypt, associated
with E-M78.

--Benin sickle cell regions in Africa have high
L1b and L2a and, surprise surprise, Benin sickle
predominates in European nations where 1/3, 2/3
or 3/3 of the aforementioned Epi-Palaeolithic
associated lineages have been found been found.
In all implied regions, namely, West/Central
Africa, the Nile Valley, the Levant, South-
Eastern Europe the predominant SC variant is
always the Benin one.

Coincidence? I think not.

Your theory with accompanying explanation does make perfect sense.
I also wonder if there is any correlation with
NRY E2 which is found in Senegal and Saharan Tuaregs,
and in Iberians since Mesolithic times, along with folks in the Levant and Arabia.

Eurocentric researchers assign Fulani as North
African as a matter of vanity in the wake of
Hamiticism.

Despite their West African language, first known
location (as ethnic hal Pulaaren), and expansion,
their phenotype and economy inspired Eurocentrists
to adopt Fulani. Eurocentric Fulani madness went as
far as describing them as blue-eyed (Ibrahim 1966).

While true the first cultural appearance of folk
like the Fulani is in Late Stone Age SE Algeria in
Ajjer territory, except for minor genetic incretion
there's nothing North African about Fulani.

In recent times Fulani are locally associated with
Niger-Kordofanian and Nilo-Saharan speakers. But
formerly they were a people apart unrecognized by
'Berber' and 'Black' alike as kinsmen despite ties
of marriage.

The closest Fulani come to North African people is
a supposed identity/association with Mauritanians
going back to the banu Warith of the Goddala group
of the pre-alMurabitun Sanhaja confederation but
totally severed after Beydani Maurs rescinded Fulani
from their warrior class in the notorious ethnic
cleansing of Mauritania's military a few decades
ago.


There're a few archived threads on Fulani here like
- Fulani Madness
- Fulani, ancestry and admixture?
- Egyptian Origin of the Fulani
- Rock art, tomb paintings, and Fulani clothes

@Great post man!

Also I know that Fulani origins(like other West Africans) are of the Sahara when it was green. They most likely migrated to the Niger when the Sahara was drying up. Fulani are still a grassland type people.
 
Posted by Djehuti (Member # 6698) on :
 
^ Note that the Fulani are a large nomadic cultural group consisting of many tribes
spread out from the edge of the Sahara in the north to the edge of the forests
in the south and from coastal Senegal to Ethiopia. That said, there is bound to be
diversity both cultural as well as genetic among them.

Precisely Tukuler's and my point. It is a tactic Eurocentrics play called "stacking the decks",
wherein they pick and choose certain groups to represent Sub-Saharans while
certain groups in North Africa are chosen to represent North Africans.
As I've stated, there is actually a great deal
of overlap between 'Sub-Saharan' West Africa and
Northwest Africa a.k.a. the Maghreb, when overall populations
as a whole are taken into account.

Getting back to the main issue of Egypt, the same applies in regards to the so-called 'difference'
between Northeast Africa i.e. Egypt and Sudan
vs. "Sub-Saharan" East Africa i.e. the Horn and Great Lakes region.
As Zarahan has noted in the Hamitic or Cacazoid zeal of some scholars,
even the Horn is included as 'North Africa' despite
being firmly located south of the Sahara!!
It's the same game of 'stacking the decks'.

The irony is that these DNA findings not only
from the royals published on DNA Tribes, but
even these latest findings shown by Beyoku on commoners
all display characteristics associated with deep
'Sub-Sahara'. The only option the Euronuts have now
is to include the Great Lakes area and the Guinea Forest region as 'North Africa' too! LMAO [Big Grin]
 
Posted by Son of Ra (Member # 20401) on :
 
@Djehuti

True. The Fulani are a large group consisting of many different tribes. But IMO I think the proto Fulanis originated in the Sahara during the holocene.

And yeah I certainly agree with you man on the Ancient Egypt part. For the Eurocentrics to claim Ancient Egypt or North Africa, they'll have to claim ALL of Africa. That is why Eurocentricsm is falling a part.

They would have to claim all of Africans because PN2 binds all Africans together. You see even though Africa is a big continent like Asia, unlike Asia, Africa had constant gene flow where in Asia, the people were isolated by mountains and different regions and what not. I believe you were the one who said this. For example some Euronuts want to pretend U6 is the origins of all Berbers, when Berbers origins don't even go back that far. Euronuts like to use U6 to try and claim Berbers are Eurasians in origins, yet U6 is no longer Eurasian and U6 clades are not even found outside of Africa.

If we play their little games, they would have to claim some East and West African populations since certain populations in those regions carry U6 too and they are ISOLATED. Thats how their arguments fall flat.

And like you said...Ancient Egypt too. Euronuts now have to claim the Nubians because its now said that the Nubians are the CLOSETS to the Ancient Egyptians.

So now they try to claim the Nubians. But they also claim horners such as Somalis and Ethiopians because both horners and Nubians are related. And horners are of the same Northeast African stock as Nubians, Ancient Egyptians, Beja,etc. But what Euronuts don't know is that they will have to claim to claim AFRICAN AMERICANS!!!! Why??? Because studies have shown Somalis will group FIRST with African Americans than they would Europeans and even Near easterners...Their NEIGHBORS!!! LMAO!!!

"Individuals with the same morphology do not necessarily cluster with each other by lineage, and a given lineage does not include only individuals with the same trait complex (or 'racial type'). Y-chromosome DNA from Africa alone suffices to make this point. Africa contains populations whose members have a range of external phenotypes. This variation has usually been described in terms of 'race' (Caucasoids, Pygmoids, Congoids, Khoisanoids). But the Y-chromosome clade defined by the PN2 transition (PN2/M35, PN2/M2) shatters the boundaries of phenotypically defined races and true breeding populations across a great geographical expanse. African peoples with a range of skin colors, hair forms and physiognomies have substantial percentages of males whose Y chromosomes form closely related clades with each other, but not with others who are phenotypically similar. The individuals in the morphologically or geographically defined 'races' are not characterized by 'private' distinct lineages restricted to each of them." (S O Y Keita, R A Kittles, et al.

I don't think Ancient Egypt is a "pan African" civilization the sense that some build it up to
be- as if it was some sort of "central headquarters"
for civilization in Africa. Africa doesn't need any
"central headquarters". The genesis, the source is
on the bio-historical ground level- the Sahara and
other regions. These are "the groundings"...

I agree with that. Most modern black Africans (A, B and E Y-DNA haplogroups) share relatively recent common ancestors with Ancient Egyptians. The Saharan belt, from the Atlantic ocean to Sudan/East Africa are the location where most modern African people have one of their common ancestors.

RECAP FROM OLD THREAD


Conservative mainstream Oxford
Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt slams
diffusionism of 'Afrocentrists' - shows
ancient Egypt derived from an African
cultural sub-stratum


[QUOTE:]


Archaeological evidence also strongly supports an African origin. A widespread
northeastern African cultural assemblage,
including distinctive multiple barbed
harpoons and pottery decorated with
dotted wavy line patterns, appears during
the early Neolithic (also known as the
Aqualithic, a reference to the mild
climate of the Sahara at this time).
Saharan and Sudanese rock art from this
time resembles early Egyptian iconography . Strong connections
between Nubian (Sudanese) and
Egyptian material culture continue in
later Neolithic Badarian culture of Upper
Egypt. Similarities include black-topped
wares, vessels with characteristic
ripple-burnished surfaces, a special
tulip-shaped vessel with incised and
white-filled decoration, palettes, and
harpoons...

Other ancient Egyptian practices show
strong similarities to modern African cultures including divine kingship, the
use of headrests, body art, circumcision,
and male coming-of-age rituals, all
suggesting an African substratum or
foundation for Egyptian civilization
(rather than diffusion from sub-Saharan
Africa, as claimed by some Afrocentric
scholars.)"

Very good quote from a very mainstream archeological publication. The Oxford encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt.

Here it basically says that the wavy-line pottery civilization (the Saharan-Sahel-Nile civilization) are a precursors of the early Ancient Egyptians. The Wavy line pottery culture extended from the Atlantic Ocean to the Sudan/Egypt/East-African regions. The oldest pottery in Africa comes from Southern Mali. The oldest boat from Dafuna, Nigeria.

The Oxford Encyclopedia also note **STRONG** similarities between Ancient Egyptian culture and modern African culture.

quote:

Some have argued that that
African-Americans Should not “interfere”
with Nile Valley history, and have “no
connection” to said history, and
self-styled “concerned” Egyptians, both
bogus and real sometimes put in an
apparent appearance to lecture said
‘African Americans.” or “Black
Americans.” But if the conservative
mainstream reference itself shows that
numerous ancient Egyptian cultural links
and similarities to other parts of “Black
Africa”, including MODERN African
cultures, how come African Americans
are supposed to sit quietly and say
nothing?

“African Americans" are not obsessively
tracing their history back to Egypt as
alleged by assorted blowhards and pundits.
They don't need to any such tracing, nor do
they need "permission" from self-styled
Arab nativists, alleged "Egyptian"
natives/nativists, Egypto-Arabs,
or white people to study
and comment on Egypt.

I don't know who said that African-American can't "interfere" with Ancient Egyptian history but they are obviously idiots or bigots. Ancient Kemet is part of the African history like the history of the Yoruba, Djenne-Djenno, Great Zimbabwe, Kongo, Bunyoro-Kitara, Zulu empires. Even the Oxford Encyclopedia retraces both their archeological genesis and their cultural similarities with other modern Africans. Noting strong similarities. The DNA data exposed in this thread further confirms the biological similarities (shared ancestry). We can note traditional headrest being found all over Africa.

quote:

The Sahara was once a lush greenbelt
extending across one-third of Africa,
allowing the easy movement of peoples.
Its climatic cycles - the famous Saharan
"pump" - was to create conditions for the
movement of peoples into the Nile
Valley, the Sahelian zone and elsewhere.
But it remains the foundation.

Informed African-Americans thus do not
conceive of Egypt as being created out of
thin air. Nor do they rely on the truism
that "Egypt is in Africa."
They begin at the Saharan zone, which
provided the main source for the
peopling of the Nile Valley, and laid the
foundation, and was the genesis of the
Nile Valley Civilization, and also was the
genesis of the West African kingdoms adjoining it.
The Sahara is the linking pin- the motor of
Africa's bio-cultural evolution. This is where
"African Americans" start.

I don't know what the majority of African-American interested in African history think, but I hope that's what they think. The Saharan belt was an important zone of interrelationship between many African groups and lineages. As I said above the pottery invented in Mali was later found in Sudan and Egypt. Other similar example can be found in archeology (microlithic tools, burial patterns, various object, human remains, etc).

quote:

The eternal Sahara is the key, the starting point,
the genesis, the fundamental force. Egypt
follows AFTER and derives from that broad Saharan
foundation, not before. So do the civilizations of
Western Africa. There is no need to seek
"inspiration" from latecomers like Rameses or Cleopatra.
The "inspiration" springs from the starting point,
the African cultures that gave rise to the Egyptian
dynastic civilization. It is from that genesis, that
launching point, that other developments are appreciated,
in all their cIt ontinuity.

That's what I think. In practical manner the Genesis of all modern black African civilizations comes from the Sahara. The Green Sahara period. Including the wavy-line pottery culture.

To go further back in time, many of those people who populated the Sahara originated in Sudan/East African region by evidence of genetics (all E descendant hg like E1b1a and E1b1b - E-P2 descendants- originated in or around the Sudan region. Maybe the same can be said about A and B hg (their latest common ancestors). The same with the linguistic origin of most modern African language familyl (Niger-Kordofanian(Niger-Kongo, Yoruba, Wolof, Dogon, Bantu) originated in the Sudan/East African region then spread in the Green Sahara first then eventually across all Africa.

The Sahara region is very interesting for African people who want to retrace back their ancestry. People can also note the importance of climate change. A Bantu from South Africa, may have ancestors who came from the Great Lakes region, then those ancestors from West Africa, then those ancestors from the Sahara then those ancestors from Sudan/East Africa. The Green Sahara period being central for the biological and cultural genesis of most modern African people.

Genetics prove it with both E1b1a and E1b1b having originated in the Sudan and East African regions then spread elsewhere in Africa. Same as the linguistic diversity in Africa having originated in the same Sudan/East African region. All major African linguistic groups comes from that region, that is Niger-Kordofanian (Niger-Kongo, Yoruba, Bantu, Dogun, Wolof,etc), Nilo-Saharan, Cushitic/Chadic and even Khoisan (a bit further back in time).

quote:

Informed African Americans place Egypt
in its proper context as a tropical
civilization. They don’t begin any
exploration of African civilizations with
Egypt, they start with AFRICA ITSELF,
from which the genesis, the foundational
elements sprung, that provided the
basis or substratum for that civilization.
The Sahara is one such central
foundational element. It is in that broad
Saharan zone for example that the ancients
created theih huge megaliths of stone, and
designed calendars and other astonomical alignments.
It is from that broad zone that the cattle cults of
NE Africa developed- cults that were to figure so
prominently in Egyptian religion. It is from the
African genesis that other concepts such as divine
kingship, and the art iconography of Egypt developed.
It is from the Saharan zone (which extends well into
the Sudan) that patterns of technology in pottery,
toolmaking, mummification, and numerous other influences
emerged that were to distinguish ancient Egypt.
ANy "inspiration" taken by African-American begins
with a foundation based on the ground, in Africa.

I completely agree with that. Both the cultural (religion, language, burial practices, pottery, etc) and biological genesis of African people sprung from the Sahara. The Kongo, Djenne-Djenno, the Yoruba, Ancient Egyptians, Kushite, the Great Zimbabwean civilizations are all descendant of those people who used to live in the Sahara during the Green Sahara period (and a bit before).

quote:

There are other
“African Americans” who look even
further back than the Saharan mix
mentioned above. They look back to the
dawn of modern humanity, which
emerged from “sub-Saharan” Africa, then
proceeded to Northeast Africa, (also "sub Saharan"
by the way), and from there to the rest of the
globe by various exit routes. Again, the
starting point for any discussion remains AFRICA itself.

You have made a great case including from mainstream egyptology showing the strong cultural, archeological and now biological (archeolgy, genetics) linkage between the Saharan civilization, modern Africans and Ancient Kemetians. They all share common ancestors in the Sahara. A, B and E descendant haplogroup in Y-DNA terms to ark back to the original post in this thread.

It probably meant: rather than diffusion "to" sub-Saharan Africa, as claimed by some Afrocentric scholars. Not "from". Clearly that's a typo in the original text considering the rest of the quote.

Some Afrocentrists in the past (like Diop) claimed diffusion *from* Ancient Egypt, labeling almost all modern African to be descendant of Ancient Egyptian people, which is wrong in my opinion as well as what the encyclopedia tries to say. It's the other way around. Most modern Africa people including Ancient Kemetian and Kushite descend from common ancestors in the Sahara. An "African origin", an "African substratum" or an African "foundation" to Ancient Egypt (as well as other modern African people).

Saying an "African substratum or foundation for Egyptian civilization" is like saying diffusion *from* Africa toward Ancient Egypt(as well as other modern African population and civilizations). Obviously other fields such as archeology, linguistic and now genetics also shows the African origin (aka the black African, the so called Sub-Saharan origin) of the Ancient Egyptian civilizations. Ancient Kemetians share common relatively recent A, B and E ancestors with the rest of African people (as well as autosomal DNA STR values). As well as other strong cultural and religious linkage.

^^^^ He is referring to the Copts, who he describes as being of " "the black race"
full context>


It is claimed that the name comes Copts them Coptos City , where they retired , they say , during the persecutions of the Greeks , but I think it more natural and more ancient origin . The Arabic term Qoubti , a Copt , seems an obvious change from the Greek Have goupti -os , an Egyptian , because it should be noted that there was pronounced or the ancient Greeks and the Arabs did , or g before Aug neither the letter p, always replace these letters q and b: Copts are properly the representatives of Egypt [ 52] , and it is a singular fact that this makes sense even more likely . Considering the face of many individuals of this race, I found a particular character set my attention all have a yellowish skin tone and smoky, which is neither Greek nor Arabic all have the face puffy , swollen eye , flat nose , fat lip , in a word , real mulatto figure . I was tempted to attribute it to the climate [53] , when, having been visiting the Sphinx , its appearance gave me the key to the riddle . Seeing this character head negro in all its features , I remembered this remarkable passage of Herodotus , where he says [54] : For me, I believe that the Colchians are a colony of the Egyptians because, like them, have black skin and curly hair , that is to say , that the ancient Egyptians were true negroes of the species of all natural Africa [55] , and therefore their blood explains how ally for several centuries the Romans and Greeks, must have lost the intensity of its first color, however retaining the imprint of its original mold. We can even give this observation a very general scope , and to assume that the face is a kind of own monument in many cases to establish or clarify the testimony of history, the origins of the people. Among us, a period of nine hundred years could not erase the nuance that distinguished the inhabitants of Gaul, of the men of the North, under Charles the Fat , came to occupy the richest of our provinces. Travelers who go by sea from Normandy in Denmark , speak with surprise fraternal resemblance of the inhabitants of these two countries , preserved despite the distance of place and time . The same occurs when we move from Franconia in Burgundy , and if we carefully went through France, England or any other country, we would find traces of emigration written on the face of the inhabitants. Jews do not they are not erasable, wherever they are established ? In states where the nobility of an alien people introduced by conquest, if that nobility has developed indigenous ally , its people have a special imprint. The kalmouque blood still visible in India , and if anyone had studied the various nations of Europe and northern Asia , it may end up analogies that has forgotten.


But returning to Egypt, because it makes the story offers many reflections in philosophy. What about meditation, see the current barbarism and ignorance of the Copts , from the combination of profound genius of the Egyptians and the brilliant mind of the Greeks just think that this race of black men today our slave and the object of our scorn, is the very one to which we owe our arts, our sciences , and even the use of speech ; imagine , finally, that it is among the people who say most friends of liberty and humanity , which is sanctioned slavery as barbaric and set problem if black men have an understanding of the species of white !
Language is another monument whose indications are no less just and less informative . One whose Copts were using heretofore , agrees to find the facts which I have established . On the one hand , the shape of their letters and most of their words show that the Greek nation , living in a thousand years , strongly impressed its mark on Egypt , but on the other hand, alphabet Coptic five letters , and a lot of dictionary words which are like debris and remnants of ancient Egyptian .These words, discussed with criticism, have a significant analogy with the idioms of the adjacent former peoples, such as the Arabs , Ethiopians , Syrians and even residents of the Euphrates , and can be established as a fact that all these languages ​​were only derived from a common fund dialects. For more than three centuries , the Copts fell into disuse , the conquering Arabs, disdaining the language of the conquered peoples , they have imposed their yoke with the obligation to learn their language. This obligation became law when, at the end of the first century of the hedjire the Caliph Ouâled

On prétend que le nom de Coptes leur vient de la ville de Coptos, où ils se retirèrent, dit-on, lors des persécutions des Grecs; mais je lui crois une origine plus naturelle et plus ancienne. Le terme arabe Qoubti, un Copte, me semble une altération évidente du grec Ai-goupti-os, un Égyptien; car on doit remarquer que y était prononcé ou chez les anciens Grecs, et que les Arabes n'ayant, ni g devant a o u, ni la lettre p, remplacent toujours ces lettres par q et b: les Coptes sont donc proprement les représentans des Égyptiens[52]; et il est un fait singulier qui rend cette acception encore plus probable. En considérant le visage de beaucoup d'individus de cette race, j'y ai trouvé un caractère particulier qui a fixé mon attention: tous ont un ton de peau jaunâtre et fumeux, qui n'est ni grec ni arabe; tous ont le visage bouffi, l'œil gonflé, le nez écrasé, la lèvre grosse; en un mot, une vraie figure de mulâtre. J'étais tenté de l'attribuer au climat[53], lorsque, ayant été visiter le Sphinx, son aspect me donna le mot de l'énigme. En voyant cette tête caractérisée nègre dans tous ses traits, je me rappelai ce passage remarquable d'Hérodote, où il dit[54]: Pour moi, j'estime que les Colches sont une colonie des Égyptiens, parce que, comme eux, ils ont la peau noire et les cheveux crépus; c'est-à-dire, que les anciens Égyptiens étaient de vrais nègres de l'espèce de tous les naturels d'Afrique[55]; et dès lors on explique comment leur sang, allié depuis plusieurs siècles à celui des Romains et des Grecs, a dû perdre l'intensité de sa première couleur, en conservant cependant l'empreinte de son moule originel. On peut même donner à cette observation une étendue très-générale, et poser en principe que la physionomie est une sorte de monument propre en bien des cas à constater ou éclaircir les témoignages de l'histoire, sur les origines des peuples. Parmi nous, un laps de neuf cents ans n'a pu effacer la nuance qui distinguait les habitans des Gaules, de ces hommes du Nord, qui, sous Charles-le-Gros, vinrent occuper la plus riche de nos provinces. Les voyageurs qui vont par mer de Normandie en Danemarck, parlent avec surprise de la ressemblance fraternelle des habitans de ces deux contrées, conservée malgré la distance des lieux et des temps. La même observation se présente, quand on passe de Franconie en Bourgogne; et si l'on parcourait avec attention la France, l'Angleterre ou toute autre contrée, on y trouverait la trace des émigrations écrite sur la face des habitans. Les Juifs n'en portent-ils pas d'ineffaçables, en quelque lieu qu'ils soient établis? Dans les états où la noblesse représente un peuple étranger introduit par conquête, si cette noblesse ne s'est point alliée aux indigènes, ses individus ont une empreinte particulière. Le sang kalmouque se distingue encore dans l'Inde; et si quelqu'un avait étudié les diverses nations de l'Europe et du nord de l'Asie, il retrouverait peut-être des analogies qu'on a oubliées.

Mais en revenant à l'Égypte, le fait qu'elle rend à l'histoire offre bien des réflexions à la philosophie. Quel sujet de méditation, de voir la barbarie et l'ignorance actuelle des Coptes, issues de l'alliance du génie profond des Égyptiens et de l'esprit brillant des Grecs; de penser que cette race d'hommes noirs, aujourd'hui notre esclave et l'objet de nos mépris, est celle-là même à laquelle nous devons nos arts, nos sciences, et jusqu'à l'usage de la parole; d'imaginer enfin que c'est au milieu des peuples qui se disent les plus amis de la liberté et de l'humanité, que l'on a sanctionné le plus barbare des esclavages, et mis en problème si les hommes noirs ont une intelligence de l'espèce des blancs!
Le langage est un autre monument dont les indications ne sont pas moins justes ni moins instructives. Celui dont usaient ci-devant les Coptes, s'accorde à constater les faits que j'établis. D'un côté, la forme de leurs lettres et la majeure partie de leurs mots démontrent que la nation grecque, dans un séjour de mille ans, a imprimé fortement son empreinte sur l'Égypte[56]; mais d'autre part, l'alphabet copte a cinq lettres, et le dictionnaire beaucoup de mots qui sont comme les débris et les restes de l'ancien égyptien. Ces mots, examinés avec critique, ont une analogie sensible avec les idiomes des anciens peuples adjacents, tels que les Arabes, les Éthiopiens, les Syriens et même les riverains de l'Euphrate; et l'on peut établir comme un fait certain que toutes ces langues ne furent que des dialectes dérivés d'un fonds commun. Depuis plus de trois siècles, celui des Coptes est tombé en désuétude; les Arabes conquérants, en dédaignant l'idiome des peuples vaincus, leur ont imposé avec leur joug, l'obligation d'apprendre leur langue. Cette obligation même devint une loi, lorsque, sur la fin du premier siècle de l'hedjire, le kalife Ouâled

It's just "her" usual passive-aggressive trolling.

In Volney's era Copts were thought to be the most
likely "true" descendents of the ancient Egyptians.

I first came across one of Volney's Copt quotes
in J G Jackson.
quote:
“And the Genius proceeded to enumerate and point out the objects to me: Those piles of ruins, said he, which you see in that narrow valley watered by the Nile, are the remains of opulent cities, the pride of the ancient kingdom of Ethiopia.* Behold the wrecks of her metropolis, of Thebes with her hundred palaces,** the parent of cities, and monument of the caprice of destiny. There a people, now forgotten, discovered, while others were yet barbarians, the elements of the arts and sciences. A race of men now rejected from society for their sable skin and frizzled hair, founded on the study of the laws of nature, those civil and religious systems which still govern the universe.
Some passages were expurgated in the first American
editions. Slaveholders found them seditious.

Then there's this from another Volney book I first read in either Diop Jackson or ben Jochanan.
quote:
"All the Egyptians, have a bloated face, puffed-up eyes, flat nose, thick lips – in a word, the true face of the mulatto. I was tempted to attribute it to the climate, but when I visited the Sphinx, its appearance gave me the key to the riddle. On seeing that head, typically Negro in all its features, I remembered the remarkable passage where Herodotus says:

'As for me, I judge the Colchians to be a colony of the Egyptians because, like them, they are black with woolly hair...'

In other words, the ancient Egyptians were true Negroes of the same type as all native-born Africans. That being so, we can see how their blood, mixed for several centuries with that of the Greeks and Romans, must have lost the intensity of its original color, while retaining nonetheless the imprint of its original mold.
. . . .
What a subject for meditation, just think, that this race of Black men, today our slave and the object of our scorn, is the very race to which we owe our arts, sciences, and even the use of speech! Just imagine, finally, that it is in the midst of people who call themselves the greatest friends of liberty and humanity that one has approved the most barbarous slavery, and questioned whether Black men have the same kind of intelligence as whites!"

So you see even centuries ago alongside Napoleon's
Egyptian expedition things we're saying here today on
ES was not unknown. From that day 'till this,

the struggle continues.

Thanks for informing.

I remember this citation:


quote:
"In Libya, which is mostly desert and oasis, there is a visible Negroid element in the sedentary populations, and at the same is true of the Fellahin of Egypt, whether Copt or Muslim. Osteological studies have shown that the Negroid element was stronger in predynastic times than at present, reflecting an early movement northward along the banks of the Nile, which were then heavily forested."

I don't blame anyone for posting this becasue it's all over the internet and in books but they leave the Copts part out.
But maybe people should check things before using it.


It refers to Copts but one would never know that beacause the statement is taken out of context. This happens quite a bit with centrics, Afro and Euro.
I would call it disingenuous how the quote is extracted but doesn't mention Copts.


Very rarely do we hear Copts these days being discussed in discussions on ancient Egyptians. Who is closer to the ancient Egyptians, African Americans or Copts? You decide


Volney in 1787 in the quote above is referring to Copts. He described Copts as a black race and included mulattos. >

Tukuler thinks that DNA Tribes shouldn't be taken too seriously from an academic point of view because they are a private for profit company and their reports are not subject to peer review.

Another similar private company, DNA Consultants, mentions Ancient Egyptian DNA and Copts:

One could argue with dumbed down terms like "Egyptian gene"
nevertheless, they are claiming to have found genetic links between Copts, Africans and Ancient Egyptians.
As per DNA Tribes they didn't break down Egypt into a subset that separated Copts.

If you read the what is written below the map, it talks about a gene of Sub-Saharan African origin. Have you seen it? So every genetic research thus far about adna of Ancient Egyptians comes down to the same thing. Please tell me what you think about it, the lioness. The closer you are to so called Sub-Saharan Africans, the closer you are to Ancient Egyptians.

So if a particular modern Copt is closer to modern Sub-Saharan Africans, then he will be closer to Ancient Egyptians. If a Russian is closer to Sub-Saharan Africans, then he will be closer to Ancient Egyptians. etc.

DNA Tribes didn't match modern Egypt but sub-Saharan Africans, and it's a more complete study because it study not just one gene but many of them and, as you know, it mostly matches so called Sub-Sahara (sub-coastal) Africans. That is in the Great Lakes, Southern, Western and Sahelian regions (using autosomal STR DNA).

Same thing with the peer-reviewed study (used by DNA tribes btw) which also shows Ramses III and the Unknown man E to be E-M2 (E1b1a).

This thread (the original post with the preview of DNA results) also shows the same thing. So, all research thus far show that the closer you are to "sub-Saharan" Africans, the closer you are to Ancient Egyptians. What do you think the lioness?

Once again the delusional lioness has been debunked.

I find it ironic everything of European origin is being defended with tooth and nail by lioness, and everything of African origin is being fought with tooth and nail by this lioness.

posting a quote from Volney w/o
being familiar in the least with
Volney's works.

Your short quote from Volney was
fine and certainly could not be
refuted by a lengthier quote from
the same man.

As shown Volney's opinion that the
best modern representatives in Egypt
of "the" ancient Egyptian phenotypes
-- which he explicitly states is just
another indigenous African people --
are the Copts who have a "mulato"
look due to centuries of miscegenation
with north Meds.

Nothing changes Volney's opinion
whether one regards it as right
or wrong. It is what it is, like
it or lump it too too bad. [Razz]

Ramses III being E1b1a as well as the DNA Tribes results are other cases in point. Ancient Egyptians were fully black Africans (aka like modern so-called sub-saharan Africans). No need for fringe theory for this.

While everybody can enunciate fringe theory, as I said above, it's anybody's right, I think it does a disservice to African history. It makes the whole black African origin of Ancient Egyptian look extremely fringe when in reality it is (now) completely confirmed by modern genetic analysis of aDNA from Ancient Egyptian remains.

This is one of the most "mainstream" geneticists way to view the haplogroups origin situation:

 -

We don't even need to state fringe theory about haplogroups origin. Ancient Egyptians were mostly from the A, B, E descendant haplogroups which are usually considered African in origin (aka not the product of a back migration from Eurasia).

I don't understand what you mean by "fringe theory". There is nothing "fringe" about speculating whether certain clades truly were of African origin since their postulated 'Near-Eastern' origins are rather close to the African continent and that some early derivatives if not original upstream markers of that clade are found on the African continent as well. This is what I'm getting at! You're right about certain clades may be quintessentially African such but that doesn't mean it is somehow fringe to question the Eurasian identity of some clades. This doesn't mean I don't accept any scenarios of back-migrations as there was nothing to stop Eurasians from migrating back to Africa, however like Keita I tend to be cautious since migrations back-and-forth between Africa and Southwest Asia a.k.a. the 'Near East' seemed to have been continuous.
^^Mainstream scientists building models of African
DNA patterns and migration cannot be exactly called fringe.

^^Indeed. And what is deemed "Eurasian" in some quarters
can be heavily a product of selective sampling-
such as sampling the far north of Egypt and using
only those samples as "representative" of the
vast majority of Egypt, excluding the historic
south.

And finally, some claims of "Eurasian" this or
that are exercises in biased labeling.
Keita criticizes
that labeling when he notes that ancient groups
moved over a vast area adjacent to Africa, and
moved in an out of Africa- back and forth millennia ago.
He questions how such become conveniently "Eurasian"..
There is still robust debate on the origin of various haplogroups.
need steal anything. The labeling game so often used
is like a black guy crossing over into Mexico
and suddenly becomes "Hispanic", but when he moves
back into Texas, the reverse doesn't happen. He is still "Hispanic"..

It's not the mainstream scientists building models of African DNA pattern which are fringe. It's the one of people like Djehuti!! Even mainstream scientists admit, as I mentioned in the other thread, that M1 could be of African origin. It's not the case with other M and N MtDNA. They are very rare in unadmixed African populations. Other populations like Europeans do have a high amount of MtDNA M and N descendants hg as well as Y-DNA F descendants hg. Related to genetic events after the main Out of Africa migration.

The good news is that if the beyoku preview of the aDNA results is true and representative of Ancient Egyptians, then we don't even need to state fringe theory about haplogroups origin and try to steal the hg for all the other populations on earth. Personally, if it wasn't the case, I would just continue to point out the cultural and religious similarity, and possibly direct influence of "SSA" in the case of Kemet, between ancestral "religions"/spirituality on earth like I do now with Ancient Greece, Rome, Shinto, South Korea, China, Aztec, Celtic, Druid, Kemet, Kush and ancient African states of course. All great civilizations which practiced ancestral traditional spiritual knowledge. In such case, I would personally exclude Ancient Egypt from the proper African history and put it in the interesting and essential, international history category. Which would be strange because it would mean DNA Tribes, DNA consultants and the Ramses III study weren't right or representative of the Kemetian population structure. It's not the proper fora for this, but I also love to read about other African civilizations history like the Wagadu state, Great Zimbabwe, Kongo, Yoruba, Bunyuoro Kitara, Timbuktu, Luba, Zulu, etc etc. I make no secret about it, especially civilizations which are not the products of Muslim and European colonisation and influence. Thus authentically African to a high degree (even if there was trading and relations with other nations). Other people have other interests which is ok too. If an African is interested in Scandinavian, Chinese or Ancient Greece history, it's all good of course. Even to see how Africans localized/africanized foreign religions like islam and christianity though syncretism, for example, can be interesting. Those civilizations are indeed very interesting. I personally, love historical movie and TV series (and books) about Ancient Rome and Vikings (other civilizations TV/Movies are more rare). Usually Ancient Greece movies are more about mythical and fantasy history of the gods and deities, than proper history of the Ancient Greece who developed mathematics, democracy, freedom of speech, etc. (probably inspired to some degree by Kemet of course).

What pushed me to joined this forum is after the DNA Tribes results were published. (Even if I read Obenga, Diop, others historians, and web sites before about the "Africanity" of Ancient Egypt). I was still looking for genetic proof which the JAMA and DNA Tribes analysis of the 18th Dynasty royal mummies results provided.

Y-DNA, A, B and E are said to be African even by mainstream geneticists.

MtDNA L, and possibly, M1, are said to be African even by mainstream geneticists.

Which happens to be the same hg that we see in Ancient Egyptians aDNA remains posted by beyoku. While the DNA Tribes, DNA consultants, BMJ Ramses III (and Unknown Man E) aDNA origin already pointed us into that direction. Now it's just about waiting for the preview study to be published. Then, to further our knowledge, as always, waiting for more aDNA study from other remains, in Ancient Egypt, Kush, the Sahara and the rest of Africa. As well as other archeological, linguistic and historical studies of course to learn more about the history of Africa.

DNA Tribes didn't match modern Egypt but sub-Saharan Africans, and it's a more complete study because it study not just one gene but many of them and, as you know, it mostly matches so called Sub-Sahara (sub-coastal) Africans. That is in the Great Lakes, Southern, Western and Sahelian regions (using autosomal STR DNA).

Same thing with the peer-reviewed study (used by DNA tribes btw) which also shows Ramses III and the Unknown man E to be E-M2 (E1b1a).

This thread (the original post with the preview of DNA results) also shows the same thing. So, all research thus far show that the closer you are to "sub-Saharan" Africans, the closer you are to Ancient Egyptians. What do you think the lioness? [/QB]

One could say as sson as they said the gene was Sub Sharan African it's a wrap. I don't want to hear about Copts, get that Copt **** out of there.

Yet if you look at the whole picture it's harder to understand.
If this so called "Egyptain gene" is Sub Saharan in origin why would a mulatto population, the Copts have the most of it?

According to what they are saying if the Egyptian gene is Sub Saharan in origin and the Copts have the most of it, it implies they have a particular type of Sub Saharan African gene that is more specific to Egypt than other parts of Africa, so much so that even though they are a mixed population they still have more of this gene than other Africans.

That may not be true, as with DNA Tribes there needs to be peer review and other scientists analyzing the same and new data

There is a new type of DNA testing being developed which is going to be more accurate than how it's done now.

Also in looking at what DNA Tribes says

Match Likelihood Index

Southern African 326.94
African Great Lakes 323.76
Tropical West African 83.74

This doesn't mean that Egypt was derived from these places, it means in those places you are more likely to find the same DNA as the ancient Egyptians. But they didn't mention Copts.

Similarly what zarahan said below doesn't separate Copts from other Egyptians when he makes the remark that Modern Egyptians cluster with Middle Easterners like Arabs.
But the Copts are only 10-20% of modern Egyptians and they predate the Arabs in Egypt by hundreds of years

So we don't know how DNA Tribes analysis would have looked if Copts were separated. I don't know.

The new topology of the tree has important implications concerning the origin of haplogroup E1b1. Secondly, within E1b1b1 (E-M35), two haplogroups (E-V68 and E-V257) show similar phylogenetic and geographic structure, pointing to a genetic bridge between southern European and northern African Y chromosomes. Thirdly, most of the E1b1b1*(E-M35*) paragroup chromosomes are now marked by defining mutations, thus increasing the discriminative power of the haplogroup for use in human evolution and forensics.

Within E-M35, there are striking parallels between two haplogroups, E-V68 and E-V257 [...]

However, the absence of E-V68* and E-V257* in the Middle East (Table S2) makes a maritime spread between northern Africa and southern Europe a more plausible hypothesis.

[...]

Haplogroup E1b1 which is characterized by a high degree of internal diversity is the most represented Y chromosome haplogroup in Africa. Here we report on the characterization of 12 mutations within this haplogroup, eleven of which were discovered in the course of a resequencing and genotyping project performed in our laboratory. There are several changes compared to the most recently published Y chromosome tree [2]. Haplogroup E1b1 now contains two basal branches, E-V38 (E1b1a) and E-M215 (E1b1b), with V38/V100 joining the two previously separated lineages E-M2 (former E1b1a) and E-M329 (former E1b1c). Each of these two lineages has a peculiar geographic distribution. E-M2 is the most common haplogroup in sub-Saharan Africa, with frequency peaks in western (about 80%) and central Africa (about 60%).

I kind of agree with you. It is just that modern Copts are probably from different origin. From example, many modern Copts in Sudan got y-DNA hg J which didn't originate in "sub-sahara" Africa like the "egyptian gene" according to DNA consultants (and other research of course). So the question for any modern people, in Egypt or around it, is how much do the modern population is representative of the past population. How much sub-saharan genes do they have. Since I don't know about the genetic structure of modern Copt, I can't speculate.

But what I know, and what you must agree with me, is that for any Copt, if one is closer to modern sub-saharan Africans then he will be closer to Ancient Egyptians. That's what the genetic studies show. Even your own post. If a Copt got admixed and got a lot of foreign genes like J, K, mtdna H, U, V, he's probably not very close genetically with Ancient Egyptians. Said in other words, if the modern Copt are the closest to "sub-Saharan" African people more than any population on earth, then it's all good. It's just basic logic using the data we have at the moment.

I will repeat it again, in another way, for example, if DNA tribes decide to use copt as a distinct population (we don't know, they may already did) and if the Copt have the highest MLI for example, then those specific copt need to be the closest to sub-Saharan Africans, because DNA Tribes already excluded modern Egyptians, North Africans, Europeans, Asians, etc from being the closest to Ancient Egyptians aDNA . So those Copts would need to be the closest to Sub-Saharan Africans more than any other population on earth (already in the DNA tribes database).

It's true for the Copts, but it's true for any population already in the DNA tribes database. Those modern Copts, you wish are close to aDNA from Ancient Egyptians, CANT be closer to any population already in the DNA Tribes database other than Sub-Saharan African.

Same thing with the Beyoku results, they MUST, if you believe the preview study to be accurate of course, have mostly African A, B or E y-DNA haplogroups or African L mtDNA haplogroups. If those people have European R, K, N, or whatever non African haplogroups then they don't match most of the Ancient Egyptians aDNA.

Modern sub-Saharan Africans (and possibly modern Copts, we don't know, so can't speculate) and Ancient egyptians mostly share the same hg (or the same autosomal STR) ancestors which are not shared by other population like Europeans, Eurasian, etc, beside through admixture of course.

Notice that according to Beyoku's study preview, both side, male y-DNA and female mtDNA are African. Same for the DNA tribes autosomal STR study (which study both sides since autosomal means non-sexual).

I said it many times on this forum, I don't think modern Africans are the direct descendants of Ancient Egyptians, but I believe both Ancient Egyptians and modern so called Sub-Saharan Africans share the same ancestors. That is the A, B, E and L ancestors. If modern Copts, share those ancestors with modern Africans, then it's all good. So the question is always, how much sub-Saharan genes do they have? Do you agree?

"Modern day Copts" have mixture from Levantines and Greeks.

These events are all of relative recent times. And is recorded history.

wiki:

A study of Copts group in Sudan found relatively high frequencies of Sub-Saharan Haplogroup B (Y-DNA). The Sudanese Copts are converts to Egyptian Christianity and not ethnically related to Egyptian Copts. According to the study, the presence of Sub-Saharan haplogroups may also consistent with the historical record in which southern Egypt was colonized by Nilotic populations during the early state formation.[50]

However, it is not generally accepted that Sudanese Copts are ethnically related to those of Egypt, as conversion of ethnic Nubian kings to Christianity occurred in the 6th century AD. According to tradition, a missionary sent by Byzantine empress Theodora arrived in Nobatia and started preaching the gospel about 540 AD. It is possible that the conversion process began earlier, however, under the aegis of Coptic missionaries from Egypt. The Nubian kings accepted the Monophysite Christianity already practiced in Egypt and acknowledged the spiritual authority of the Egyptian Coptic patriarch of Alexandria over the Nubian church, which in turn adopted the Coptic name for their church

I said believe and personally, because it's technically possible, on the current level of knowledge, that many "sub-Saharan" African people are direct descendants of Ancient Egyptians. Oral tradition about origin is always lets say a bit fluid. Although, since we know from mainstream geneticists and linguists that most DNA and languages originate in the same north-east African direction from sub-Sahara Africa, it provides some credential to such oral tradition (which always point to the same direction either from the north or from the north east, as far as I know). There's a lot of religious, linguistic (like similar words) and cultural aspect (like headrests), among many others, shared between Kemetians and so called sub-Saharan Africans (more like sub coastal Africans). Higher resolution of aDNA can provide some answers, as well as other archeological/linguistic/historic study, but I prefer to work with what we know for sure. Also while most modern African people (DNA and modern languages) originate in Eastern Africa (after the OOA of course), I'm not sure the timing is right for the Ancient Egypt period. Again, those timings are also very fluid since they always rely on a specific "rate of changes", which may not be similar in every situations.

^Thus, saying recent intrusion caused admixture amongst Copt groups.

Of course not all Copts are similar in admixture as lioness is trying suggest.

Population genetics is based on relative selectors of the population.

We also know that a good number of European scientists are biased in their studies with selective markers.


Coptic is a religion not an ethnic group. There happen to be Egyptians who are Copts and those who happen to have admixture former to the later less or more.


Thus making Northern Egyptians cold adapted or intermediate in limb ratio and body portions.

While the ancient population of that region was close to people of the South, hence tropical adapted.

You base your "conclusions" on assumptions.

My suggestion to you is, get yourself a ticked and do some field research.

When you deal with aspects similar or close to that of ancient Egypt it all becomes a bit ironic. lol

How will you know, you are a anonymous Internet armchair student.

I do field research.

I'll grant you, it's possible. But as Throll Patrol said many modern Copts probably have a mixture from Levantines and Greeks genes, while Ancient Egyptians have a mixture of Sub-Saharan African genes. Those who are the closest to Sub-Saharan Africans will be the closest to Ancient Egyptians aDNA. Ancient Egyptians aDNA are NOT to closest to modern Egyptians (well most of them), modern North Africans, Europeans or West Asians. They are the closest with Sub-Saharan Africans.

So in baby talk: NOT Europe, NOT Western Asia, NOT the rest of North Africa, YES "sub-Sahara" Africa.

Sub-Saharan Africans are closer to Ancient Egyptians than all those people. They share the same ancestors.

I'll grant you, it's possible. But as Throll Patrol said many modern Copts probably have have a mixture from Levantines and Greeks genes, while Ancient Egyptians have a mixture of Sub-Saharan African genes. Those who are the closest to Sub-Saharan Africans will be the closest to Ancient Egyptians aDNA. Ancient Egyptians aDNA are NOT to closest to modern Egyptians (well most of them), modern North Africans, Europeans or West Asians. They are the closest with Sub-Saharan Africans.

So in baby talk: NOT Europe, NOT Western Asia, NOT the rest of North Africa, YES "sub-Sahara" Africa.

Sub-Saharan Africans are the closer to Ancient Egyptians than all those people. They share the same ancestors.

What I am saying is that Coptic is a religion not an ethnic group, as lioness is trying to claim with that wiki quote.

How and what about oral traditions and other remaining fractions amongst modern Africans relating to ancient Egypt?

This is of course beside from what "you believe or personally think". Which isn't based on actual field research, but pure opinion. Hence, believe. And that's in fact the problem with "thinking" what it should be...

I said believe and personally, because it's technically possible, on the current level of knowledge, that many "sub-Saharan" African people are direct descendants of Ancient Egyptians. Oral tradition about origin is always lets say a bit fluid. Although, since we know from mainstream geneticists and linguists that most DNA and languages originate in the same north-east African direction from sub-Sahara Africa, it provides some credential to such oral tradition (which always point to the same direction either from the north or from the north east, as far as I know). There's a lot of religious, linguistic (like similar words) and cultural aspect (like headrests), among many others, shared between Kemetians and so called sub-Saharan Africans (more like sub coastal Africans). Higher resolution of aDNA can provide some answers, as well as other archeological/linguistic/historic study, but I prefer to work with what we know for sure. Also while most modern African people (DNA and modern languages) originate in Eastern Africa (after the OOA of course), I'm not sure the timing is right for the Ancient Egypt period. Again, those timings are also very fluid since they always rely on a specific "rate of changes", which may not be similar in every situations.
You base your "conclusions" on assumptions.

For you what I replied to you above, sounds like some definitive conclusions? (well, you at least put the word in quotes). Re-read what I said. I gave some arguments like the timings and the need for higher resolution for aDNA. I prefer to work with what we have 100% for sure. One way or the other, it doesn't bother me the least bit.

Instead of pompously tell me to do some field research, what don't you just laid out the main aspects that you learned through them in you posts. Your main arguments. It's hard for me to learn or to counter arguments with what you have in your head. I provide some argumentation about the timings (of DNA and linguistic data), and also about the need for higher resolution of aDNA. We are on the same side. I just go with what I got and is available to me 100% for sure. Yes, I'm willing to learn from you, other people or any new studies. For example, I learned recently about the Marin study and the Benin sickle cell gene may be present in Ancient Egypt in Ancient time (I didn't know about the Marin study). Now I include it in my knowledge/discourse. Although, I need access to the Marin study, or a quote from it, to confirm the sickle cell variety found in Ancient Egyptian remains. It's never mentioned and Swenet didn't know for sure either. Nobody provides quotes about the variety found as far as I know. Still, it's a very interesting aspect. [Smile]

I know traditional oral tradition and rituals as is passed on. And that of field research. But I don't like to speak of these over the Internet to anonymous people. Therefor I suggested for you to go local.


Anyway, ancient Northern Egyptian populations were similar in body stature to those from the South. Nowadays in the North they are not. Middle Egypt and the Southerners are still tropical adapted as ancient Egyptians.


quote:
Northern Egyptians group with Africans: QUOTE – Smith 2002:
"Limb length proportions in males from Maadi and Merimde group them
with African rather than European populations. Mean femur length in
males from Maadi was similar to that recorded at Byblos and the early
Bronze Age male from Kabri, but mean tibia length in Maadi males was
6.9cm longer than that at Byblos. At Merimde both bones were longer
than at the other sites shown, but again, the tibia was longer proportionate
to femurs than at Byblos (Fig 6.2), reinforcing the impression of an
African rather than Levantine affinity.“

-- Smith, P.(2002) The palaeo-biological evidence for admix.. In: Egypt &
the Levant.. Leicester Univ. 118-28


quote:
Northern Egypt near the Mediterranean shows the same pattern- limb length data puts its peoples closer to tropically adapted Africans that cold climate Europeans

"...sample populations available from northern Egypt from before the 1st Dynasty (Merimda, Maadi and Wadi Digla) turn out to be significantly different from sample populations from early Palestine and Byblos, suggesting a lack of common ancestors over a long time. If there was a south-north cline variation along the Nile valley it did not, from this limited evidence, continue smoothly on into southern Palestine.

The limb-length proportions of males from the Egyptian sites group them with Africans rather than with Europeans."

--Barry Kemp, "Ancient Egypt Anatomy of a Civilisation.(2005) Routledge. p. 52-60


quote:
"When the Elephantine results were added to a broader pooling of the physical characteristics drawn from a wide geographic region which includes Africa, the Mediterranean and the Near East quite strong affinities emerge between Elephantine and populations from Nubia, supporting a strong south-north cline."

Copts are not ethnic groups, Copts are religious. Egyptians happen to have converted to Coptic. Just like others converted to Islam etc. Thus creating a pattern in mixing with related populations. Making them relate more to one or the other.


Some Copts from the North can be different in admixture to someone from Middle Egypt. If you claim the same ethnographic of Copts all over Egypt, you are clueless on population genetics.


There are Copts who hardcore claim Nubian.


You have never set foot in Egypt, or Africa as a whole. So stop your forsaking nonsense.

I posted this before, as you ignored it as usually. Tell do you understand this? And why do you reinforce your lies?

There are several changes compared to the most recently published Y chromosome tree [2]. Haplogroup E1b1 now contains two basal branches, E-V38 (E1b1a) and E-M215 (E1b1b), with V38/V100 joining the two previously separated lineages E-M2 (former E1b1a) and E-M329 (former E1b1c). Each of these two lineages has a peculiar geographic distribution. E-M2 is the most common haplogroup in sub-Saharan Africa, with frequency peaks in western (about 80%) and central Africa (about 60%).

Their so called Egyptian gene, matches Maya Indians, Northeast Europeans, and from the look at the map "Siberian" near Alaska, some East Asian people, Australia and of course Africans. Populations which are not even related to one another beside by being human. You can't deny that. Their goal is to push their would be customers to take the "Ancient Egyptian gene" test by making every geographical populations on earth a possible possessor of that gene. Aka a very widespread gene from the looks of it. That's why I never quote them and told you that the DNA tribes test is more complete because it uses data we know about from peer reviewed studies (beside their modern population database) and they use more than one gene (they use autosomal STR aDNA data obtained from those studies). Same as Beyoku's post or the BMJ study about Ramses III and Unknown man E.

Lioness lacks knowledge on population genetics. This is the reason why.

Btw, I a not saying that every population of the so called "sub Sahara" is related to ancient Egyptians. Let there be no confusion about this.

Coptic Egypt: background

The first centuries of Christianity

There are few sources of information on the beginning of Christianity in Egypt. According to tradition, Saint Mark brought the new faith to Egypt. There may have been a second missionary in the first century AD, named Apollos. Only from the time of the bishop Demetrius (AD 189-221/2) are there more substantial sources for Christianity. These early sources indicate that the new religion was beginning to flourish in Alexandria. A catechetical school was founded at about this time, and soon became an important centre of theological research. In the second century AD there seems to have been only one bishop in Egypt, at Alexandria. Later in his career Demetrius ordained three bishops, perhaps one for each of the Greek cities in the country (Alexandria, Naukratis, Ptolemais). Over the following century the numbers increased massively; in AD 320 bishop Alexander of Alexandria was able to assemble 100 bishops in a synod, and 94 Egyptian bishops are known to have attended the synod at Serdica (AD 342) . After AD 325 the archbishop of Alexandria also had authority over areas outside Egypt, in the province of Libya. Alexandria was always an important theological centre, sometimes even more important than the new Christian capital Constantinople. Disputes between these centres seem rooted more in their views of one another, than in the substance of their beliefs and expressions of belief; mutual suspicion seems to have been the main cause of the growing rifts between churches. In AD 451 at the council of Chalcedon the teaching of the archbishop Dioscorus was condemned as monophysite, and so heretical; according to the council, archbishop Dioscorus held the views of Eutyches, whose monophysite or "one nature" teaching maintained that Christ had a single nature, and was not simultaneously human and divine. This accusation was rejected by Dioscorus, and the Coptic Church does not consider itself monophysite in the manner portrayed at Chalcedon: the end of the Coptic liturgy declares that the two natures "human" and "divine" are united in one "without mingling, without confusion, without alteration". This makes the conflict around the Chalcedon council all the more regrettable. The result was a lasting schism: the patriarchy of Alexandria became separated from the official line of the Roman Empire and its Church. From this time there are two rival patriarchs at Alexandria: a monophysite patriarch and a dyophysite (or Melkite) patriarch. In AD 482 the emperor Zeno attempted to reconcile the two factions, but without success.

Persecution and establishment

Before Christianity became a state religion under Constantine, the Egyptian Christian community suffered heavy persecution. An important part of Roman state religion was the cult of the emperor. For Jews and Christians, who both believed in one god, this practice presented a problem. However, the Jews received special exemption: they did not need to join the ruler cult, for religious reasons. The Christians were first seen as Jews, but when they became a separate religious group, they did not receive the same status. In the third century AD persecution of the Christians grew particularly intense, for example under Septimius Severus in AD 201. In the reign of Decius in AD 249 there was the first persecution across the whole empire. Under Gallienus (AD 253-268) the persecutions were reversed by an edict, by which the Christians received their freedom. However, under Diocletian (AD 284-305) there was again in AD 300 heavy persecution, so intense that the Coptic Church dates its years not to the birth of Christ (BC-AD) but to the 'Era of Martyrs', starting from the first year of the reign of the persecuting emperor Diocletian. The oppression ended finally only on the 30th April 311, when an edict was released establishing Christianity as a permitted religion (religio licita).

Under Byzantine rule, the monophysite strand of Christianity was also subject to persecution, as the imperial authorities struggled to impose orthodoxy from Constantinople. The division between monophysite and orthodox Christianity has been seen as a major factor contributing to the defeat of Byzantine forces in Egypt and Syria in the mid-seventh century, at the Arab conquest of Egypt in AD 639-642.

Christian Egyptians in the Islamic Period

During most of the Islamic Period, Christian Egyptians formed the backbone of the country's administration and many, along with people of other faiths such as Jews, rose to ministerial positions. Like all non-Moslems they paid a special poll tax. At certain periods, and despite clear Islamic teachings on tolerance, they endured certain restrictions, often because of complaints over their undue influence. Their conversion to Islam was a long process: according to the geographer Al-Muqaddasi, Copts were still in the majority in the 10th century, almost four centuries after the Moslem annexation of Egypt. The European Crusades, instigated by Pope Urban II in 1095, must have had a particularly negative impact: the local Christian population probably sided most often with their Moslem compatriots, while some Moslems sided with the Frankish invaders. The Crusades may be one main reason why more Egyptian Christians converted to Islam. Nowadays about 10 % of Egyptians are Christians following different churches, mainly the Coptic Orthodox Church. Despite sporadic times of discord, as in the reign of the eccentric but brilliant Fatimid ruler al-Hakim, the story of the Copts in Egypt reflects a generally tolerant country by comparison with the fate of religious minorities in medieval and later Europe.

The Egyptian language in Byzantine and Islamic Egypt - Coptic

The main language in the eastern part of the Roman Empire was Greek, also used by the Egyptian Christians (Copts). Some Egyptians had started to write their own language using Greek letters (old Coptic) before the advent of Christianity; Coptic later became the principal script and language of Christian Egypt below the official Greek (then Arabic) level, and it remains alive today in the Coptic Church, for liturgical use. Greek was the state language used for administration and education, until replaced by Arabic at the end of the 7th century. In the first century after the Moslem annexation of Egypt, documents might be produced in three languages, Greek, Coptic and Arabic. Coptic enjoyed a revival under Islam: most of the Coptic books in collections today date to the Islamic Period. Contrary to the common perception that Coptic was only used for liturgy, there are many Coptic texts in medicine, mathematics, and alchemy. From the 11th century onwards, Arabic was used to write Christian material often side by side with Coptic, producing biligual texts which were instrumental in the process of the European decipherment of Egyptian language by Kircher and successors such as Champollion.

Egypt's Coptic Pope to pay weekend visit to Upper Egypt's Sohag

April 19, 2013, 6:21 a.m.


Source: Ahram

"During two-day visit, Coptic-Orthodox Pope Tawadros II will meet with local priests, monks and government officials, in addition to inaugurating new church.

Egypt's Coptic-Orthodox Pope Tawadros II is set to arrive in the Upper Egyptian city of Sohag late Thursday, where he is expected to stay for two days.

While in Sohag, Tawadros will stay at the White Monastery of Saint Shenouda the Archimandrite.

A spokesman for Sohag's Coptic archbishopric said the pope planned to meet with local Coptic priests and monks, before inaugurating a new church on Friday."

It's strange because that's what I'm saying. [Razz]

I'm joking, I know what you meant according to context, you mean not all Africans are direct descendant of Ancient Egyptians. As I said, I don't believe most so called "sub-Saharan" Africans are direct descendant of Ancient Egyptians, but they share ancestors with them. The same ancestors Africans share with each others but not with other people on earth like Europeans, or West Asians (beside through post OOA admixture of course). That is the Y-DNA A,B, and E ancestors, and MtDNA L ancestors. To use Beyoku's study preview and the BMJ study. Or the same ancestors we, Africans, share autosomal STR DNA with.


Here's a passage from the DNA Tribes study about the 20th Dynasty royal mummies (the second study):
quote:
Specifically, both of these ancient individuals inherited the alleles D21S11=35 and CSFIPO=7, which are found throughout Sub-Saharan Africa but are comparatively rare or absent in other regions of the world . These African related alleles are different from the African related alleles identified for the previously studied Amarna period mummies (D18S51=19 and D21S11=34).11 This provides independent evidence for African autosomal ancestry in two different pharaonic families of New Kingdom Egypt.

In other words, Ancient Egyptians are closer to Africans than any other population on earth like Europeans or West Asians. Ancient Egyptians are, in a very real sense, "sub-Saharan" Africans.

This is a blow to the face of 19th/early 20th century historians who tried to tell us that Ancient Egyptians were more akin to Europeans, other North Africans or West Asians. When in fact, they are more closely related to so called sub-Saharan Africans.

The DNA tribes study of the aDNA data is very interesting. Because the STR alleles found in the 18th Dynasty royal mummies, which can be found throughout sub-Sahara Africa but are absent or rare in other populations on earth, are not the same ones as the ones from the 20th Dynasty royal mummies which are also rare or absent in other population on earth. As they say pretty clearly, this provides independent evidence for African autosomal ancestry in two different pharaonic families. Beyoku's preview study post, also provide similar independant evidences. According to Beyoku's preview study both sides, female and male, haplogroups are Africans. So it's not just one side and it's diversified. I can't wait for the Beyoku's study to be published.

Maybe it's an example of concurrent genetic mutations (on the STR chromosome), or the genetic drift effect on some ancient (pre-OOA) str mutations. Or at worst, the admixture of Africans and native population, who self describe as natives. We would need to know which STR value matches both Africans and North Americans (natives) population (but apparently no "in-between" populations, at least not much). Personally, I would go with a rare case of concurrent genetic mutations but the genetic drift effect on some ancient (pre-OOA) DNA str alleles is possible too.

No they are populations considered native populations by them. For example, North America excludes recent European and African populations in North America. You can see it in their global STR study paper.

I don't know what you mean by "African stream" nor what African Americans have anything to do with it (beside being a subset of African people, mostly from West Africa, who recently "migrated" to America).

Physical anthropology is nice, but due the inherent physiological diversity of African people, genetics is a stronger determinant of shared ancestry. In fact, it's undeniable.

I'm somewhat new to this forum so I don't understand the full situation with the lioness. But what is the point of asking people, who are not even biologists or specialist in population structure, to make such maps?

I'm seriously not trying be blunt, just curious, but why don't you make one yourself to show the way, so to speak? You probably got equal or possibly superior knowledge about population genetics than most of us.

I don't like the lioness maps because it kind of negates the haplotypes diversity of African populations, but it seems to be what you were looking for (albeit not fully amateurish).

I already explained that your Wikipedia map is utter rubbish.

So why you keep reiterating it. Like some delusional euronut?


What even seems more funny is, you barely understand genetics. Yet, here you are to proclaim your wiki map, as ultimate prove, even though it based on some random persons opinion. Do you have any idea how sick that is?

Abstract

Examination of African barbed bone points recovered from Holocene sites provides a context to interpret three Late Pleistocene occurrences from Katanda and Ishango, Zaire, and White Paintings Shelter, Botswana. In sites dated to ca. 10,000 BP and younger, such artifacts are found widely distributed across the Sahara Desert, the Sahel, the Nile, and the East African Lakes. They are present in both ceramic and aceramic contexts, sometimes associated with domesticates. The almost-universal presence of fish remains indicates a subsistence adaptation which incorporates a riverine/lacustrine component. Typologically these points exhibit sufficient similarity in form and method of manufacture to be subsumed within a single African “tradition.”They are absent at Fayum, where a distinct Natufian form occurs. Specimens dating to ca. 20,000 BP at Ishango, possibly a similar age at White Paintings Shelter, and up to 90,000 BP at Katanda clearly fall within this same African tradition and thus indicate a very long-term continuity which crosses traditionally conceived sub-Saharan cultural boundaries.

If you take a look at my post with the anthropological and archeological findings you will see that your map is RUBBISH!

One of the examples is the "Berber gene"!

The migration routes in "your" map are simply INCORRECT or even a LIE!

And it's you who is waisting people's time with self created Wikipedia maps which you repeatedly keep posting.


Whereas I post peer reviewed papers to refute your nonsense, with archeology and anthropology. Over a science you don't even understand, called genetics. [Smile]

Nor did the map posted by the lioness (in fact a bit amateurish itself) or any other serious study ever claimed this (as far as I know). I think the arrow you may refer to is related to J1 in (supposedly high concentration in) Tunisia. According to the preview of the study posted by Beyoku, there's no "berber" M81 genes (or Iberian HUV) genes identified in the Ancient Egyptians remains used in the study. There may be some, but they were not identified in the study posted by Beyoku and Berber didn't match DNA Tribes/JAMA study or the BMJ/Ramses III study in a particular manner either (Berbers do share E hg ancestors on the male side with most African people. MtDNA is another story).

The point of me talking about the map was to make people think. Its should be obvious now the origin and migration of some sub Saharan lineages - particularity the highly distributed E1b1a has a history that is not quite as clear as we thought. Its presence in North Africa and areas below the equator even may not be as recent as we though. Migration maps of E1a, E2a and E2b dont even exist.

Me calling Lioness dumb as a rock was based on the fact that she (It) posted someone elses work when it was quite clear I was aksing for our OWN work. It would be interesting for the board to see maps created based on what WE hypothesize could have happened....not the nonsense generated from Wikipedia...or the ideas found in piblished Journals which we note time and time again to be just plain wrong. We dont need a degree or background in Genetics for us to hypothesize the movements of Africans we read about and talk about nearly every day.

As for my map here it is. There is a specific reason I dont want to post it but lets see what happens.
This is of course somethign rushed. Maybe in 5 minutes. All of these describe events no earlier than maybe 15 thousand years ago. They are not in any particular order. They dont even have to make sense, they just describe possible movements or humans possible carrying E1b1a based on pre-historical events.

A - indicates an origin somewhere in the Western Horn, going by the presence of underived Pn2 and E-329. Northward migration not via the red sea. Old lineages persist in the North and Egypt while the migration in the main heads West. Desertification pushed lineages south and then a late push with Bantu.

B - un-importation Early origin somewhere in the horn for same reason above and a transverse of the Sahel or southern Sahara to concentrate in the Western Sahara. Aridity pushes lineages South but also migration to the East with western Technology. Late push by Bantu.

C - Large Saharan coalescence. Ancestral E1b1a breaks off earlier and pushes Southwest while E1b1a8 and E1b1a7 both have a later central Southern Saharan origin and break in all directions. This scenario basically envisions a southern shift in ALL the E1b1a~ diversity. I would hypothesize a 20 degree latitude shift.

You are wrong on this account, because euronuts do claim that it came from the Middle East via the Levant. Even in a recent study published at the beginning of this year the withers boldly claimed this. They also claim that Berbers are a proto Arab ethnic group who entered Africa 30-40Kya. Not "just 10Kya". Yes, it has gone worse. They claim the weirdest and most craziest things. Like sub Sahara Africans never entered North Africa, until recently, as slaves. Sound familiar hmmm?


Also, S.O.Y. Keita had to refute similar claims three years ago.

The arrow I refer to is E1b1b2. It did not come from the region where that arrow starts. Sorry!


For the lack of better, I will use another Wikipedia map. More incoherent with archeological and anthropological findings.

I don't think so. You probably misread things. Care to produce one or 2 of such studies? The map posted the lioness certainly didn't imply anything of the sort. I already produced in this thread the latest Cruciani study demonstrating that E-P2 originate in Africa (eastern Africa). This is of course much after the OOA migration.

Frankly, I can't understand this obsession with Berbers by some people like you on this site since they are not particularly related to Ancient Egyptians in any genetic study. As I said many times, many Berber groups seem African on their male side but admixed with Eurasian (HUV) on their female side. They do share some ancestors with Ancient Egyptians, as any people with African DNA, but probably less than many other African groups due to their admixture. The DNA tribes/JAMA study and the Ramses III/BMJ study didn't match that region either.

Yes, it is the case, read the reference by S.O.Y. Keita.

In fact the whole argument and thesis by lioness is based on this delusional theory.

And it surprises me you aren't familiar with such studies. One of those studies was published by Henn in 2012 another was published by a few guy this year, 2013. I don't know the name of that paper. But someone posted it here as well. I am not sure if it's about Y-chromosomes from Algeria or Libya.


As I told before, I am not an African American. And I have family who are half Moroccan. Let's say, I am an affiliate. [Wink] Btw, there are a lot of Berbers in this city as well. A lot.


Anyway, I gave Berbers as an example on the errors of that map based on anthropological and archeological findings. And because euronuts try to claim Berbers as caucasions. Which is absolute rubbish and an insult as well. And I have seen euronuts type this rediclous stuff claiming caucasiods living in North Africa for 40Kya. Worse they have remained the same as they looked back them, in other words their cranial morphology has maintained as unchanged for 40Kya in North Africa. Every study on archeological and anthropological study I've posted, they claim was and is about "those caucasoids", who entered back then.

When I show them the caucasoids/ Eurasians were and still are cold adapted, they will claim it's outdated info or claim that they were actually those tropical adapted people the studies speak of. See, we had quit a few of these nuts on this website. One of them is still her, present everyday. Going by the name of lioness. This why lioness always posts in attempts to segregate North Africa from the so called Sub. Unfortunate for euronuts we have an intermediate place called the Sahara and Sahel. But, hey they also claim that. REALLY.

So now you understand my beef!

You are delusional. Are Africans part caucasoids?lol

Look how you've treated them during the course of your history in America.

My facial traits are indigenous to Africa and older then yours.

You've got your facial traits from Africans who left Africa in small pockets.

This is why you will find Africans with tropical body portions while yours are cold adapted. Due to living in the crescent for tens and thousands of years, from arctic cold, to now a medium cold climate.

Troll Patrol is mad at this map but it is because he didn't understnd the arrows.

This map does not show the spread direction of E lineages
- so why the worry E-M81, age 5600 yrs the so called Berber marker is E subclade shown on the map as African

There's also an orange line
-that represents small percentages of hap G coming in


In human genetics, Haplogroup G (M201) is a Y-chromosome haplogroup. It is a branch of Haplogroup F (M89). Haplogroup G has an overall low frequency in most populations but is widely distributed within many ethnic groups of the Old World in Europe (especially in alpine regions), Caucasus, South Asia, western and central Asia, and northern Africa.
Age 14-30,000 BP
In Africa, haplogroup G is rarely found in sub-Saharan Africa or south of the horn of Africa among native populations. In Egypt, studies have provided information that pegs the G percentage there to be between 2% and 9%.3% of North African Berbers were found to be haplogroup G. 2% of Arab Moroccans and 8% of Berber Moroccans were likewise found to be G.


There's also the J1 in green arrow, coming in from the Mid east

I don't think so. You probably misread things. Care to produce one or 2 of such studies? The map posted the lioness certainly didn't imply anything of the sort. I already produced in this thread the latest Cruciani study demonstrating that E-P2 originate in Africa (eastern Africa). This is of course much after the OOA migration.

Frankly, I can't understand this obsession with Berbers by some people like you on this site since they are not particularly related to Ancient Egyptians in any genetic study. As I said many times, many Berber groups seem African on their male side but admixed with Eurasian (HUV) on their female side. They do share some ancestors with Ancient Egyptians, as any people with African DNA, but probably less than many other African groups due to their admixture. The DNA tribes/JAMA study and the Ramses III/BMJ study didn't match that region either.

Yes, it is the case, read the reference by S.O.Y. Keita.

In fact the whole argument and thesis by lioness is based on this delusional theory.

And it surprises me you aren't familiar with such studies. One of those studies was published by Henn.

As I told before, I am not an African American. And I have family who are half Moroccan. Let's say, I am an affiliate. [Wink]


Anyway, I gave Berbers as an example on the errors of that map based on anthropological and archeological findings. And because euronuts try to claim Berbers as caucasions. Which is absolute rubbish and an insult as well.

You're right about the Henn study (contradicted by the Frigi (2010) study), which is really badly done, but I restricted my recollection to studies related to haplogroups origin and hg migration patterns since this discussion was about the map posted by the lionesss, and the map is about haplogroups, as well as most of this thread. The arrow showed that Berber M81 ultimately originated in Eastern Africa (well, probably in its ancestral state (M215), before the M81 existed, since its rare anywhere else than Northwest Africa). As for various Berbers admixture, there's nothing wrong with having a nice mix of African and Eurasian genes. Determining the origin, and the population structure, of Ancient Egyptians is something else.

The point of me talking about the map was to make people think. Its should be obvious now the origin and migration of some sub Saharan lineages - particularity the highly distributed E1b1a has a history that is not quite as clear as we thought. Its presence in North Africa and areas below the equator even may not be as recent as we though. Migration maps of E1a, E2a and E2b dont even exist.

Me calling Lioness dumb as a rock was based on the fact that she (It) posted someone elses work when it was quite clear I was aksing for our OWN work. It would be interesting for the board to see maps created based on what WE hypothesize could have happened....not the nonsense generated from Wikipedia...or the ideas found in piblished Journals which we note time and time again to be just plain wrong. We dont need a degree or background in Genetics for us to hypothesize the movements of Africans we read about and talk about nearly every day.

As for my map here it is. There is a specific reason I dont want to post it but lets see what happens.
This is of course somethign rushed. Maybe in 5 minutes. All of these describe events no earlier than maybe 15 thousand years ago. They are not in any particular order. They dont even have to make sense, they just describe possible movements or humans possible carrying E1b1a based on pre-historical events.

A - indicates an origin somewhere in the Western Horn, going by the presence of underived Pn2 and E-329. Northward migration not via the red sea. Old lineages persist in the North and Egypt while the migration in the main heads West. Desertification pushed lineages south and then a late push with Bantu.

B - un-importation Early origin somewhere in the horn for same reason above and a transverse of the Sahel or southern Sahara to concentrate in the Western Sahara. Aridity pushes lineages South but also migration to the East with western Technology. Late push by Bantu.

C - Large Saharan coalescence. Ancestral E1b1a breaks off earlier and pushes Southwest while E1b1a8 and E1b1a7 both have a later central Southern Saharan origin and break in all directions. This scenario basically envisions a southern shift in ALL the E1b1a~ diversity. I would hypothesize a 20 degree latitude shift.


D - Your idea.


Those are interesting hypotheses. I would personally needs much more time than 5 minutes to elaborate my own analysis (especially if I try to corroborate Y-DNA with MtDNA) or even analyze your own in a definitive manner. Since such hg analysis always rely on the modern population genetic structure (as well as other sciences), it is evident that more aDNA study will help very much to elucidate ancient population migration patterns and population structure (haplogroup frequencies). What I retain, and said a couple of times already, is that both hg E-P2 (PN2) and Niger-Kordofanian languages, as well as other African languages, are said to have originated in the same approximate region in eastern Africa. Somehow they found their way to other regions of Africa. I would need more time to even try an hypothesis about the exact way. Just look at the recent study about Mesopotamia and the Indian subcontinent linkage in the other thread. Ancient and modern population structures can be drastically different. With the desertification, greening and re-desertification of the Sahara. It was pretty eventful too. Events which can change population structure (maybe not as drastically than Mesopotamia though, but 30% can turn into 4% and vice versa).

I already elaborate on my reasons in the thread dedicated to the Henn study (started by you). Their choice of population samples is too limited for such population structure study. As for the first question, it's subjective, trivial and related to which subjects are chosen specifically. More that the subject is close to so-called sub-Saharan Africans, the closer he will be to Ancient Egyptians, if we believe the current aDNA analysis. For example, Ancient Egyptians doesn't seem to have HUV mtDNA haplogroups or if they have them and is hidden away somehow, it must be at low frequency since none of the study matches those regions.

The arrow doesn't not direct to East Africa. It starts at near the Levant, suggestive as is it came via or from the Levant. The color of these arrows is clearly different.

That's what I'm saying all along.

E1b1b. M215

Ethiopia and Sudan harbor the highest levels (30-40%) of the E1b1b (M215) subclade. The information on the E1b1b (M215) subclade is generally superseded by the information from the descendant lineages. Based on the profile of its distribution and the degree of STR diversity in this subclade, it is believed to originate in East Africa. The TMRCA estimate is 20-26kya and by 17kya this subclade had migrated to Northeast Africa. It may be that the Nile River Valley acted as a migratory corridor for this subclade. This also fits with its higher prevalence among Nilo-Saharan language groups versus Afro-Asiatic language groups.


Btw, the distribution of Hg E-V68 goes back to around 22Kya.

For what it's worth, here's my imagined scenario for the distribution of E1b1a:

Posted by beyoku (Member # 14524) on :
 
^ Right, i know it takes more that 5 minutes but it is something that we have all thought about for a long long time. This is what we know.

-E1b1a seems to have a relatively recent push (or return) into Sub Saharan Africa and erased much of the previous diversity in the West.

-Agricultural traditions of the Northern most West Africans (E1b1a carriers) in Senegal is know to have its root further north in Mauritania.

-Elbla was found in Ramesses III, Unknown man E and other unreleased old kingdom Samples. Therefore E1b1a has an ancient presence in North Africa.

-E1b1a is frequent in the Sahel and in Sub Saharan Africa has very recent expansion dates when even compared to V-88. E1b1a lineages in the Sahel tell a different story.
http://bhusers.upf.edu/dcomas/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Berniell-Lee2009.pdf

-Certain "West African" traditions indicate anceint West to East migrations and could in indicative of E1b1a migration. Sahelian crops, Pottery.

-Other genetic clues like, West African TB, Sickle Cell as well as the analysis of physical remains may indicate and affinity of West African/Central African, Saharan people...(Mali, Niger, Benin) with Nile Vally and desert people further East. The Western counter parts could have been E1b1a carriers.

-There are lithic and pottery traditions that connect the Western Deserts of Egypt/Sudan with regions in Chad. Populations in Chad carry E1b1a lineages that were possibly carried by their ancestors.

I could go on and on. The point is the old idea of E1b1b moving all over the place all the time while E1b1a traveled the southern Sahel, Sat in Senegal for 35kya and pushed North after Saharan Desecration with the slave trade and south with the Bantu is not longer on the table. If there are no maps showing the migration of E1b1a carriers based on some of the latest data and aDNA studies then it is up to use to hypothesize such maps ourselves. IMO the future evidence will show that the late push in the East of E-V32 (Having an origin supposedly somewhere in Egypt and a distribution of less than 1%) South into the Horn of Africa will show a parallel pattern with E1b1a disbursing back into Sub Saharan Africa from a similar latitude as Egypt yet in the West. The TMRCA for both lineages in the East and West are pretty much the same.

@ Truthcentric - That is excellent.

Nice Truthcentric. I don't know about the exact ancient migration pattern, but I view it somehow that way in a sketchy manner. Without relying to much on this to make any analysis. Basically, it started in East Africa. They found their way to Ancient Egypt, the Sahara and West Africa. Then the one Bantu migration route from West Africa toward East Africa and the Great Lakes then toward the South and another Bantu migration route directly from West Africa towards the south. But frankly, I never studied those very deeply. As I said already, further aDNA analysis in the Sahara and the rest of Africa will provide more definitive answers.

Interesting. A lot of good points. Finding the Benin variety of sickel cell mutation in Ancient Egypt (if the variety is confirmed, I never read the Marin study) as well as pottery from Mali to Ancient Egypt is very interesting. In my opinion, we're not talking about one migration events, but possibly multiples ones taking mostly the same routes but possibly new ones. Some kind of back and forth movements within Africa in ancient times with climatic changes being the main drivers (as well as some technological advancement). Let's recall that African populations usually have the highest level of genetic diversity in the world (so limited bottleneck effect, genetic drift effect, more within Africa admixtures). I would guess that the expansion of E1b1a in West Africa is probably due to population expansion (maybe due to agriculture after the desertification of the Sahara) and absorption of ancient population of much smaller demographic size within those groups. Maybe through patrilineality.

I would like to know exactly what kind of culture these proto-E1b1a carriers would have had before they started dispersing to Egypt, West Africa, and so on. They must have possessed some degree of cultural complexity if they could spread so far and have such a major genetic impact on the regions they colonized.

I like to think of the Khartoum Mesolithic culture in central Sudan as the cradle of ancient Egyptian and Nubian civilization, but if there is a connection between the Khartoum and the more westerly cultures that have been mentioned, maybe they share ancestry somewhere in the deep mists of African prehistory. This is very exciting!

Late Pleistocene and Holocene drought events at Lake Tana, the source of the Blue Nile


Michael H. Marshall et al.


Abstract

Magnetic and geochemical core data spanning the last 17,000 years are correlated with new seismic stratigraphy from Lake Tana, Ethiopia, to infer past lake-level change and hence effective precipitation. The data confirm that low lake-level coincides with Heinrich Event 1 (H1) in the North Atlantic, as previously shown from diatom and pollen evidence (Lamb et al., 2007). The lake deepened at 15.3 cal kyr BP and abruptly returned to freshwater conditions, when the lake overflowed into the Blue Nile. Low runoff and lake levels and therefore rainfall are inferred between 13.0 and 12.5 cal kyr BP and may represent southerly suppression of the ITCZ and the associated monsoon front at the time of the Younger Dryas. Two drought episodes occurred at 8.4 and 7.5 cal kyr BP, and are also interpreted as a southward shift in the monsoon front. The first of these events appears to have preceded and been more significant than the 8.2 cal kyr BP. Precipitation declined after 6.8 cal kyr BP, although we do not see an abrupt end to the African Humid Period. This period culminated in a dry episode at ~ 4.2 cal kyr BP, supporting the view that reduced Nile flow was a contributing factor to the demise of the Egyptian Old Kingdom.

Highlights

► 17,000 years of climate change at the source of the Blue Nile, Lake Tana, Ethiopia. ► Southerly suppression of the ITCZ and monsoon front at the time of the Younger Dryas. ► Drought at 8.4 cal kyr BP preceded and was more significant than the “8.2 event”. ► No abrupt end to the so-called African Humid Period. ► Drought at Nile source a factor in the demise of the Egyptian Old Kingdom.

Population genetics works as following.

Show and prove: remains, fossils, archeology, anthropology, etc... then comes genetics. In other words, you must be able to track movements. I truly wonder what part of this you don't understand?


Thus now, we see patterns going from Africa into the Arabian Peninsula. Not the other way around. Likely this is more coherent with the genetic drifts. Ya' Dig?


Now, can you explain why Henn didn't publish the invasions and intrusions by Greeks, Romans, Vandals, Byzantine, Turks, Spaniards, Portuguese Moriscos etc...?

It either happened or it didn't.

the lioness as usual you avoid touching the crux of my argumentation when caught with your back against the wall. If a study analyzes the population structure of past/ancient population (based on modern people), it should be even more careful. Studies like the one in Mesopotamia linking it to the Indian sub-continent show that it's very dangerous to do that. I personally, think there was indeed a back migration, but I won't use a badly done study to determine the exact population structure of past populations. Even good study, with a lot of different local and neighboring ethnic groups from modern people can be deceiving. Since modern populations (genetic structure, haplotype frequency, etc) are not the same as past populations. In 3000 years, let alone more than that here's been a lot of genetic events, admixture, migration, invasion and population movements. It's obvious, nobody can deny that.

ABSTRACT: The genetic profile of Palestinians has, for the first time, been studied by using human leukocyte antigen (HLA) gene variability and haplotypes. The comparison with other Mediterranean populations by using neighbor-joining dendrograms and correspondence analyses reveal that Palestinians are genetically very close to Jews and other Middle East populations, including Turks (Anatolians), Lebanese, Egyptians, Armenians and Iranians. Archaeologic and genetic data support that both Jews and Palestinians came from the ancient Canaanites, who extensively mixed with Egyptians, Mesopotamian and Anatolian peoples in ancient times.

Thus, Palestinian- Jewish rivalry is based in cultural and religious, but not in genetic, differences.

The relatively close relatedness of both Jews and Palestinians to western Mediterranean populations reflects the continuous circum-Mediterranean cultural and gene flow that have occurred in prehistoric and historic times. This flow overtly contradicts the demic diffusion model of western Mediterranean populations substitution by agriculturalists coming from the Middle East in the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition.

During the second millennium BC, Egyptian hegemony and Canaanite autonomy were constantly challenged by such ethnically diverse invaders as the Amorites, Hittites, and Hurrians from Anatolia and the East. These invaders, however, were defeated by the Egyptians and absorbed by the Canaanites, who at that time may have numbered about 200,000. Egyptian power began to weaken, and new invaders or autochthonous people appeared or made themselves noticeable [4].

By 1500-1200 BC the Greek presence was very scarce in Canaan, according to archaeologic records [6]. In fact, the “Mycaenian” Greeks attacked Crete by 1450 BC after rendering tributes to Cretans by a relatively long period.


The Cretan Aegean Sea empire was destroyed and continued by the Mycaenians. Greeks are found to have a substantial HLA gene flow from sub-Saharan Ethiopian and Black people [3,20]. This is why Greeks are Mediterranean outliers in all kind of analyses [19-21,28]. This African genetic and cultural input was documented by Herodotus [33] who states that the daughters of Danaus (who were black) came from Egypt in great numbers to settle in Greece. Also, ancient Greeks believed that their religion and culture came from Egypt [33]. An explanation of the Egypt-to-Greece migration may be that a densely populated Sahara (before 5000 BC) may have contained an admixture of Negroid and Caucasoid populations, and some of the Negroid populations may have migrated by chance or unknown causes towards present day Greece [19,34-36].


This could have occurred when hyperarid Saharan condition become established and large-scale migration occurred in all directions out from the desert. In this case, the most ancient Greek Pelasgian substratum would come from a Negroid stock. A more likely explanation is that at an undetermined time during Egyptian pharaonic times a Black dynasty with their followers were expelled and went towards Greece where they settled [20, 30].

Once an African input to the ancient Greek genetic pool is established, it remains to be determined what the cultural importance of this input is for constructing the classical Hellenistic culture. The reason why a sub- Saharan admixture is not seen in Crete is unclear but may be related to the influential and strong Minoan empire, which hindered foreigners establishment if the African invasion occurred in Minoan times [19, 20].

This remark has no value unless you can expalin in at least one or two sentences why.

After ANY article you can say "the sample size was not big enough" and then try to dismiss the article on that basis, any article

Yet on this article you cant' use that. All they have do is prove admixture in a particular time period . Once that is proven you don't have to increase the sample size, admixture was already detected in significant amounts.

If some Aliens came down one said "South Africa is comprised of African bantus"
Another Alien might say "not completely there are some Europeans there"
The fact that he fogot to mention Khosians and other groups does not change the fact that there are some Europeans there.

"The study was flawed"
you can say that about any study, without explanation of at least a sentence it means nothing

The problem is that it's off topic for this thread. But lets say, for one, it's not judicious to use modern populations to analyze ancient populations genetic structure. Second, Henn used populations which have no or limited genetic or historical link with North Africa, so it's impossible for him to analyze the contribution of any population to North Africa that way. For example, some clusters can antedate the presence of people in North Africa while their presence in North Africa can be older or younger (some clusters could have existed outside Africa for example and be carried out in North Africa later on). Or for example, it's like saying there's almost not any Indo-European contribution in North Africa by comparing the genes (finding clusters) with people in India. This is thoroughly explained in the other thread you started. Even Henn, use words like "likely" and other words like that since this is all speculative on his part. Finding clusters and interpreting them is a different thing. At last, there's always problem with population sample size to gauge how representative they are, but this is common to many population structure studies. Can you use 50 Finnish people or 50 Yoruba people and claim they represent Europe and Africa as a whole?

You do that by analyzing population genetic structure (you find population genetic structures like clusters then date them by estimation). That's what the study you talk about did. Its obvious. And again, you avoid the crux of my argumentation even if you're the one who ask for it. You're lame and an idiot. If you avoid my main arguments, why should I bother answering you?

You're the doing the same thing as the lioness and counter argument only the part that I already admitted was done by many genetic studies instead of counter argumenting the crux of my argumentation.

As for naming population, I don't remember the populations used by Henn, but any other populations not used in the study is good (the further away - in term of genetic distance- all the better obviously). Let's say the African-American males and the Mbo and Bangwa people with their A00 mutations (and other related or not related mutations of course) could be an easy to understand example. Clearly those populations have mutations which weren't tested in the study.

What other arguments? You aren't even using
arguments worth arguing over. All you ever do is
sit in the corner with your arms crossed and
say something is so and others just have to take
your word for it. You say the sample set was too
limited, but based on what, other than your
uninformed opinion? You say using modern
populations to discern ancient population
structure is unwarranted, but based on what,
other than your uninformed opinion? You invoke the
A00 carrier and imply that the people who carry
such lineages are different from others in the
populations they were pooled from, autosomally,
based on what, other than your uninformed opinion?
You say including populations who were
historically distant to Northern Africa would
complement their sample set, but based on what,
other than your uninformed opinion? I could go on
all day long, but the fact of the matter is that
all these objections only show that you're
uninformed. No one well versed in science would
protest to the universal practice of using a
highly relevant but very limited stand-in
sample to test hypotheses. No one well versed in
science would ignore the authors' stated
hypotheses and chastise them for not testing
hypotheses that they never set out to test and
that you're projecting onto them. By these shaky
objections, every paper can be discredited at
some random person's whim.

I asked you to list examples of extant population
ancestries with historical links to North Africa,
that were supposedly not among the studied
populations, and then you prove my observation
that you're just baselessly complaining. You're
masking your inability to comply with my very
simple request by doing everything in the book
other than backing up:

^^^ I just hope people can see through your bullshit.

I have effectively listed some known populations that were left out, and have demonstrated that their ancestry isn't already duplicated by one of the comparative samples. Who knows where the Mbo/Bangwa and other A00 ancestors were in the past in Africa. Maybe some of their ancestors were in North Africa.

There could be unknown (yet) populations too.

Any populations that have different mutations than the ones used in the study is good. For example, ancient San-like and "pygmy"-like people could have been roaming the Sahara and North Africa in the past. Maybe some Nilo-Saharan people like the Tibu got different mutations not covered by the study (or even ever found for that matter, do you understand that? That's why I mentioned the lack of samples from neighboring North African region so people can visualize the issue. Lack of samples means we don't know. So can't conclude anything). Same thing with some Niger-Congo speakers like the Dogon. In fact, any population not covered in the study, like the Dogon, can have mutations (thus part of their ancestry) not covered by their small samples of people.

Even doing a population structure analysis and supposing there wasn't ever any pygmy-like people or whatever people (like the Dogon ancestors aka part of their ancestry) in North Africa is wrong. As I said, finding clusters and analyzing it is something different. If you begin by presupposing a lot of things, it's obvious you're directing the results toward something you want. Even the study talks about "likely" ancestry and thus temper its own conclusion but it also says the only African presence in North Africa is relatively recent. And the Frigi study is one example of a study contradicting him about ancient African presence in North Africa.

Y chromosome A00 is merely a preserved archaic

A00 had autosomal DNA consistent with that

First they were too liberal with their sample

because "any extra sample is good." You're just
saving face at this point. Again, name the

Frigi et al are talking about L3* here (possibly
L3k.) Again, these are haplogroups whose autosomal
correlates are long gone or dwindled to the point
of negligibility, just like European L bearers
of admixture events of 10k years ago may not even
have any detectable African autosomal counterparts
of that admixture event. Besides, the autosomal
correlate of L3* would have affinity with the
genetic material of the sampled East African
populations in Henn's sample set, so where does
that leave you? Certainly not with evidence of
some "unsampled population" to advance your
baseless tirade against Henn's choice of samples.

One of the most profound arguments by Fergi is:


This conclusion points to an ancient African gene flow to Tunisia before 20,000 years BP. These findings parallel the more recent findings of both archaeology and linguistics on the prehistory of Africa.

That's true, he did touch the subject but didn't continue on it, since it's a bit obscure, however:

Our objective is to highlight the age of sub-Saharan gene flows in North Africa and particularly in Tunisia.

Therefore we analyzed in a broad phylogeographic context sub-Saharan mtDNA haplogroups of Tunisian Berber populations considered representative of ancient settlement.

More than 2,000 sequences were collected from the literature, and networks were constructed.

The results show that the most ancient haplogroup is L3*, which would have been introduced to North Africa from eastern sub-Saharan populations around 20,000 years ago.

The objective by these North African scientists was made clear.

Some people in England are mixed, "biracial", English-Caribbean. They should take their autosomal markers and represent them as fact for the overall population of England.

I already elaborate on my reasons in the thread dedicated to the Henn study (started by you). Their choice of population samples is too limited for such population structure study. As for the first question, it's subjective, trivial and related to which subjects are chosen specifically. More that the subject is close to so-called sub-Saharan Africans, the closer he will be to Ancient Egyptians, if we believe the current aDNA analysis. For example, Ancient Egyptians doesn't seem to have HUV mtDNA haplogroups or if they have them and is hidden away somehow, it must be at low frequency since none of the study matches those regions.

Interesting. A lot of good points. Finding the Benin variety of sickel cell mutation in Ancient Egypt (if the variety is confirmed, I never read the Marin study) as well as pottery from Mali to Ancient Egypt is very interesting. In my opinion, we're not talking about one migration events, but possibly multiples ones taking mostly the same routes but possibly new ones. Some kind of back and forth movements within Africa in ancient times with climatic changes being the main drivers (as well as some technological advancement). Let's recall that African populations usually have the highest level of genetic diversity in the world (so limited bottleneck effect, genetic drift effect, more within Africa admixtures). I would guess that the expansion of E1b1a in West Africa is probably due to population expansion (maybe due to agriculture after the desertification of the Sahara) and absorption of ancient population of much smaller demographic size within those groups. Maybe through patrilineality .
It's not a big thing, but I meant patrilocality. That is when the female join the homestead of the husband when they intermarry between different groups.

I am just commenting on how yall folks let lioness run this forum. Yall chase after her like a dog chasing its tail. The most interesting article can be posted here and folks would fill the thread with off topic posts to Lioness with an attention span of a 3 year old. This thread is 7 pages long. Derailed on the first page and contains maybe 1 page of constructive comments.
Thanks for your comment. There's lioness and also swenet. But why don't we steer the discussion in another direction together. Maybe you can start by telling us what "West African traditions" mention an ancient west to east migration (possibly of E-M2 people). It is very interesting.
Maybe I shouldnt have used the word "Tradition". I am using the word tradition in the sense that the technology or genetic reference in question is "Traditionally" affiliated with West Africans. I was not using "Tradition" as in "Oral Tradition".
E1b1a, Benin Hbs, West African TB, mtDNA L3e/d are traditionally seen as "West African". All of them could have an origins somewhere else but provide the opportunity for migration West to East.

Not from the looks of it. See the political situation in Egypt. This is how it was produced in the first place because it was likely it would not be finished.

What is that suppose to mean? Doing aDNA cost a lot of money, time and effort and would bring much notoriety to those behind it. I doubt any scientists started something without the intention of finishing it off.

Does it involves only Egyptian researchers or researchers from other universities and countries?

The data is coming directly from Africa(Egypt). I was hinted at it over a year ago and was told it was "surprisingly Equatorial". Based on the nomenclature used it could be old. It could be very old, Likely going back to the "E3b" days. They can sit on data for years on end for certain reasons.

Anyone familiar with the work of Prof. Woodward?
He has mtDNA sequences of damn near the entire
middle 18th dynasty. He has also sequenced several
hundred mummies. Hawass et al are sitting on
mountains of data--trust me. This wealth of
unpublished data can explain why Hawass eventually
buckled and switched his pitch from the Ancients
were "not black" to "black, but not West African".
Some citations:

quote:
Usually thought to be the non-royal son of
Queen-Mother Senseneb. Tuthmosis I followed
Amenhotep I on the Throne. It is usually thought
that Tuthmosis belonged to a collateral branch of
the royal family and that Amenhotep I had no
living sons to succeed him to the throne at the
time of his death. It is quite interesting that
DNA test conducted by Dr Scott Woodward would
argue for Tuthmosis I being the natural son of
Amenhotep I. A report mentions: " Thutmosis
shares a particular allele with Amenhotep;
conventional wisdom says they were not father and
son but DNA evidence implies that they were."

http://euler.slu.edu/~bart/egyptianhtml/kings%20and%20Queens/Tuthmosis-I.html

quote:
Egyptologists have struggled
with the genealogy of New Kingdom (1570-1070
B.C.) pharaohs for more than a century. Many
royal mummies from this period have been
identified, either by modern scholars or 20th
Dynasty priests who rescued some of them from the
depredations of tomb robbers. But we cannot
always trust these identifications. The
incomplete historical record is exacerbated by
the fact that royal brothers and sisters, and
even fathers and daughters, intermarried.
Uncertainty abounds: How was a particular pharaoh
related to his successor? Which of a pharaoh's
wives was the mother of his heir? There are also
many unidentified mummies. Could one of them be
Hatshepsut or Akhenaten? Were the two fetuses
found in Tutankhamun's tomb carried by his wife
Ankhensenpaaten? Since 1993 microbiologist
Scott Woodward has been analyzing DNA from the
mummified remains of these pharaohs and queens,
in cooperation with Nasry Iskander, chief curator
of the royal mummies at the Egyptian Museum in
Cairo.

http://archive.archaeology.org/9609/abstracts/dna.html

quote:
Back in 1993-94Professor Scott Woodward, a
microbiologist from Brigham Young University
(USA) was asked to demonstrate the usefulness
of DNA, testing on six mummies from the Old
Kingdom period,
with the aim of providing
clues to their sexing and possible genealogies.
Woodward was able to determine that two of the
mummies had been [accidentally?] placed inside
the wrong coffins.

http://www.kv64.info/2009/09/more-on-dna-testing-of-mummies.html

quote:
Following his success, Woodward was
invited to the Cairo Museum sometime during the
mid 90’s to examine and harvest tissue samples
from 27 royal mummies from the New Kingdom
Period, during their removal to a new display
room.From the 27 mummies, only 7 yielded
successful DNA sequences.
However, from his
results he was able to determine that Ahmose I
had married his full sister Seknet-re and that
Amenhotep I's mtDNA was different from Ahmose I,
making it highly likely that Ahmose – Nefertari
was in actual fact Amenhotep I's mother.

There are reports that Scott Woodward
also succesfully extracted DNA from Yuya
,
whom some identify as the Biblical Josepth. There
are suspicions that it was these links which
caused the project to be abandoned fairly
abruptly. It will be interesting to see what is
published in the next few months by Dr Hawass but
having investigated some of this may be corroboration
of earlier findings rather then groundbreaking
news. It will be interesting to see whether the
work of Professor Woodward is credited.

Egyptian authorities said Wednesday that a
mummy found a century ago has been identified as
the remains of pharaoh Queen Hatshepsut, who ruled
over Egypt during the 15th century B.C.

[...]

DNA bone samples taken from the mummy's pelvic
bone and femur are being compared to the mummy of
Queen Hatshepsut's grandmother, Amos Nefreteri,

said Egyptian molecular geneticist Yehia Zakaria
Gad, who was part of Hawass' team.

n 1999, Scott Woodward (http://molecular-
genealogy.byu.edu/group.htm) of Brigham Young
University was featured in a Discovery Channel
special. This documentary was also titled
"Secrets of the Pharaohs." Dr. Woodward was
identified as the first scientist to successfully
extract DNA from a dinosaur bone. He also
claimed that he had been granted the "exclusive
right to sample the pharaohs." This included 27
royal mummies of the New Kingdom and 500 other
mummies from the Cairo Museum.
According to
Woodward, analysis of mummies spanning an
8-generation period in the 18th Dynasty revealed
a "very narrow gene pool,"
and that there was
no intermarriage outside of the royal family.
Woodward stated, "already we have tremendous
amount of information about the pharaohs of
ancient Egypt."
Because of the successful
analysis of the two fetuses from the tomb of King
Tut,
he conveyed great confidence in the
documentary that he would be able to "reconstruct
the entire genealogy of the 18th Dynasty."

[...]

Scott Woodward wrote an article for Archaeology
magazine in 1996. The abstract is published on
the Archaeology magazine website
(www.he.net/~archaeol/index.html) Click on the
navigation bar under "Back Issues" and then look
for the Sept/Oct '96 Issue. The feature is under
"The Great DNA Hunt." Woodward's abstract is at
the very bottom of that page. Woodward's 1996
article stated that he only expected to be able
to analyze mitochondrial DNA. However, the
Rosicrucian Museum page indicated that he had
sequenced nuclear DNA for three pharaohs, viz.,
Tao II, Amenhotep II, and Thutmose IV.
In an
E-mail correspondence, Scott Woodward also
mentioned that he had analyzed DNA from the mummy
of Yuya, whom Ahmed Osman has identified as the
Biblical Joseph.

Of course, this all doesn't prove that the results
posted here are authentic; what it shows is that
its not unusual for researcher to sit on their
data, especially over protective Egypt. Their
data might even be primarily intended for
internal use, rather than public. We may never
get to see these results, and you can bet they
have been circulating in the hands of a few chosen
scientists. I'm not even counting on the data in
the OP to come out; I see them as a preview. They
may come out or might not. Pusch and Zink have
already stated in 2011 and more recently that
they're committed to testing more mummies with
next-gen sequencing techniques in the short term,
so we'll just have to wait. Also, future samples
will validate whether these haplogroups are
credible, just like the modern affinities of the
Ramses III autosomal data retrospectively
validated the 2010 results.

I guess I am asking what where the articles and how did her insight add any value to them or this topic? If you cannot discuss it in public send a PM. Sometimes folks in the field can add additional value particularly when they make a comment and reference unpublished sources.

Of course, I know what is going in in Egypt, it's not Syria or Libya but it is in crisis, but if the study involve scientists from other countries and they already have collected and sequence the data, there's not much to do for them beside writing the report. Even if you got a few examples showing us long delay, I still doubt scientists don't want to be published and the study seems advanced enough so that money is not a problem anyway. Good, and worrying point, about the nomenclature. Hopefully, it gets published sooner rather than later. Outside this forum circles,it's hard to talk about haplogroup aDNA results which are not published yet. IMO, like in Mesopotamia, aDNA research should be extended to Ancient Egypt, Kush, the Sahara and Africa. I won't lie, I'm a big fan of those.

Don't know what he said exactly, nor the context, so it's only hearsay for me. I have hard time to believe he would say that Ancient Egyptians were black (African) in any real manner, maybe he was speaking of the color of the soil or the mummy or something. I forgot to mention the Ramses III/BMJ study of course (with Ramses III and Unknown man E determined to be of the E1b1a (E-M2) haplogroup).

Amun-Ra, you believe that because of the DNATribes report on the Amarna that the ancient Egyptians looked indistinguishanle from the average African Ameican in the sense that if you mixed the average black South African (primarily bantu) and Great Lakes people and West Africans the result on average is a dark skinned person wiith afro hair, full lips, a broad flat nose, and prognothis.
In other words what the old racialists called a true Negro.

If that is the case and there is Egyptian art including Pharoahs which does show this why is there also plenty of Egyptian art including Pharoahs all throughout the dyansties which also shows dark skin but thinner featured, without prognothis, hair that is not afro type, some might say more smiliar to some parts of the Ethiopia or Somali peoples?

I don't know what you're talking about but I don't use only DNA Tribes/Jama. I said it a couples of time already, on the genetic side, I based my analysis mainly on.

1) DNA Tribes/Jama 18th Dynasty Royal Mummies
2) DNA Tribes/BMJ 20th Dynasty Royal Mummies
3) BMJ Ramses III E1b1a/E-M2
4) The study preview posted by Beyoku (especially in this thread).

A straight analysis of those results determine directly the modern populations most genetically similar to Ancient Egyptians. I guess, we can always twist it, tamper it, try to make it means something else, etc, but the interpretation is straightforward. The proof is already done for me.

I believe Ancient Egyptians were composed of a mix of African lineages (who settled along the Nile during the dessication of the Sahara and unified under one empire by Narmer). If the beyoku preview study is accurate and representative, then it gives the overall idea I got as we can see a mix of haplogroup Y-DNA and MtDNA lineages (mostly African haplogroups). Physically, they will look like a mix of African lineages too (like most modern African nations for that matter).

I don't think Ancient Egyptian art figures are meant to be a true physical representation of someone. For example, some pharaohs have art images that doesn't even look like one another. Same person, different appearance. Same for the Medu Neter (hieroglyph) for the word for the sound/word 'face' which display different features.

 -
Medu Neter for face or 'hr', 18th Dynasty

 -
Hr or face in Medu Neter 18th Dynasty


 -
Medu Neter for face or 'hr', 18th Dynasty


 -
Medu Neter for face or 'hr', 18th Dynasty

 -
Chapel of the Tomb of Akhethotep, 5th Dynasty

So how does the Ancient Egyptians looked like? My answer: Like a mix of African people and lineages.

"African peoples are the most diverse in the world whether analyzed by DNA or skeletal or cranial methods. The peoples of the Nile Valley vary but they are still related. The people most related ethnically to the ancient Egyptians are other Africans like Nubians not cold-climate/light skinned Europeans or Asiatics.

The measurements on "Lady" Udja were closely related to both sets of cephalometric standards. The dental findings include: noticeable generalized attrition of the dentition, extracted lower first molar, and impacted maxillary third molars.

Lake Victoria is located in East-Central Africa. Logically the region is and was inhabited by East-Central Africans.

Frankly it's not a big secret, it's a good question but we've already been over that a couples of times.

The question we must always ask about any populations in modern Egypt, modern Africa or modern Whatever is how representative are they of the population that was there 5000 years ago. Even Southern Africa was largely uninhabited compared to now, in fact, same for West Africa. So where the people who now inhabit Southern Africa and West Africa were 5000 years ago? Probably somewhere between Eastern Africa, their place of genetic and linguistic origin, and where they are now.

The reason why Horn Africa doesn't match Ancient Egyptians aDNA very much is because they used, rightly or wrongly, Horn Africans very much admixed for their study. Those Horn Africans samples have a great genetic distance between them and other Africans (personally I don't think that level of admixture is representative of the average Horn Africans). Both fact can be seen in their global study (STR) for 2010-2012. And as you know, the closer you are to other Africans the closer you are to Ancient Egyptians.

This is from the 2010-2012 DNA Tribes document (used in the study of aDNA):

Here below you can see that their Horn Africans sample have a lot of foreign admixture. The red bar is small. Making them (the Horn Africans samples used by DNA Tribes) more genetically distant to other African populations:
 -


Here below on this eucledian distance tree, we can see that indeed their Horn Africans samples are genetically distant to other African populations and closer to Eurasian (which don't match STR aDNA of Ancient Egyptians mummies):
 -


Both taken from this document:
http://www.dnatribes.com/sample-results/dnatribes-global-survey-regional-affinities.pdf

So again, this is a straightforward analysis. The modern Horn Africans samples used in the DNA Tribes study are more Eurasian than African, so they are further away from other Africans including Ancient Egyptians.

Personally, I think other Kemetian mummies aDNA could match similar regions as well as other regions of Africa (with limited admixed samples, of course, which dilute their proportion of Africans, thus Ancient Egyptians, DNA in their genome). It depends on which specific mummies are selected for aDNA analysis.

It appears there is this database error.


The cause for this problem could be many things.


"The ForumBiodiversity.com » Anthropology Biodiversity Forum (ABF) database has encountered a problem."


But apparently dns1.name-services and dns4.name-services are down.

forumbiodiversity.com 3600 dns4.name-services.com DOWN




COMMON SERVER ERRORS

Domain Namehide
Expired domain name, bad DNS configuration or client side (web browser or ISP) DNS Cache settings could cause a problem.

Server Errorhide
As with any computer, the smallest software or hardware failure on the web server may result in website outage.

Misconfigurationhide
An 5xx ERROR message is displayed (500 Internal Error is the most common) in case of bad server configuration.

Hosting Failurehide
Hosting companies have problems too. 99.9% uptime means, there is ~9 hours of downtime in a year.

A few things here.

What do they consider "Eurasian"..."E1b"?

And from where did the samples come, during what time did "they sample", such abundance of population size" to come to certain "conclusions" as they do?


Last, the Horn is composed out of many different ethnic groups with different histories and traditions, some relate to each other, whereas others don't. Clustering them all together in one big bunch doesn't make any sense.


Here is another following of the paternal line:

 -

 -


E1b1b. M215

quote:

Ethiopia and Sudan harbor the highest levels (30-40%) of the E1b1b (M215) subclade. The information on the E1b1b (M215) subclade is generally superseded by the information from the descendant lineages. Based on the profile of its distribution and the degree of STR diversity in this subclade, it is believed to originate in East Africa. The TMRCA estimate is 20-26kya and by 17kya this subclade had migrated to Northeast Africa. It may be that the Nile River Valley acted as a migratory corridor for this subclade and some of its important descendants described below. This also fits with its higher prevalence among Nilo-Saharan language groups versus Afro-Asiatic language groups.

E1b1b1a. M78

quote:
The Northeast Africa-based E1b1b1a subclade is defined by SNP M78. Somalia, Sudan and Egypt are among the present day countries with very high frequencies (60-90%) of the E1b1b1a M78 subclade. The STR data also support its origin in this area with a TMRCA estimated at 14-23 kya.

E1b1b1a1b. V32

quote:
The E1b1b1a1b (V32) subclade is a descendant of E1b1b1a1 (V12). E1b1b1a1b/V32 is highest in Somalia (47-75%), Sudan (52%) and Ethiopia (40%). All these chromosomes detected to date fall into the East African M78 g microsatellite cluster, which is associated with Cushitic (Afro-Asiatic) language groups in Somalia, Ethiopia and Kenya. There is some notion that the Great Rift Valley acted as a barrier to isolate language and genetic groups in this region. This subclade is abundant in Somalia, although the STR diversity is rather low. This data would suggest that the E1b1b1a1b/V32 Somali population was shaped by a founder effect, somewhat recently.
E1b1b1e. V6

quote:
his somewhat rare haplogroup, E1b1b1e (V6), has only been observed in East Africa with the most appreciable levels seen in Ethiopia (4-17%). Kenya and Somalia also harbor a moderate frequency (5%) of this subclade.

I accidentally bumped into this one:


quote:
n.b. recent studies have identified a new SNP, M293 that account for many of the M35* paragroup. This new subclade, designated E1b1b1f, appears to have a concentration around Tanzania (43%), the country that harbored the highest reported frequency of M35* (37%). The E1b1b1f/M293 subclade has a TMRCA estimated at 10kya and is associated with a more recent migration (~2kya) and spread of pastoralism (livestock herding) southward to South Africa. Along with the E1b1a/M2/Bantu, this provides another instance of demic diffusion of new technologies in Africa.
--Genebase (2013)


quote:
The M215 polymorphism is a predecessor of the E-M35 mutation. Haplogroup E-M35 (E1b1b) contains a lineage undefined by a binary marker, as well as six derived sub-branches. Three additional haplogroups have also been added to the tree since 2002: E-M281 (E1b1b1d), E-V6 (E1b1b1e), and E-P72 (E1b1b1f).

The mutation M293 mutation [3] was shown to be positioned upstream of the P72 marker (Figure 1), which defines the E1b1b1f lineage in the tree by Karafet et al. [2].

The main question is, what MLI's are they speaking of....? Maybe you can elaborate on this? So we can create a pattern...

Hence: table 1. "each MLI score identifies the likelihood of occurance of an STR profile in that region VS the occurrence of likelihood in the world as a whole"


Is it that "some" South African "populations" are much older representatives? And perhaps they did not include certain Hg as African in origin. Ya' dig?

Posted by Amun-Ra The Ultimate (Member # 20039) on :
 
I think it's important to recall that DNA Tribes use autosomal STR DNA from mummies obtained in the JAMA and BMJ study of the mummies. Autosomal STRs are inherited from both maternal and paternal ancestors. While Beyoku's preview study use haplogroups which are non-recombinant and are on the Y-DNA and MtDNA chromosomes and have been extensively used for population structure study (with many studies posted and commented on this forum, like the latest on Mesopotamia). Same thing with the BMJ determination of Ramses III haplogroup (E-M2).

The good thing is that all 4 analysis, both DNA Tribes autosomal STR analysis of aDNA and Beyoku's preview study, as well as BMJ determination of Ramses III haplogroup, point to Africa (in fact, so called sub-sahara Africa, more like sub-coastal Africa).

DNA Tribes match "sub-Saharan" African population in 2 different royal family with different alleles. Ramses III BMJ study also match E1b1a(E-M2), prevalent in much of "sub-Sahara" Africa. While Beyoku's study also matches African population on both Y-DNA and mtDNA side.

So there's a lot of independent study, using different techniques (autosomal STR, Y-DNA STR for BMJ,haplogroups SNP), pointing in the same direction for the ancestry of the Ancient Kemetian mummies.

Taking independently those studies form a solid enough case for the ancestry of the ancient mummies under study. Put together they from even a stronger case. Confirming what they determined each others independently using different techniques and different alleles.

Beja, Maasai, Copts or Toubou for instance

I'm not sure, but I think it's impossible for populations already in their database. The groups are determined because of their strong genetic cohesion (small genetic distance between one another). For example, Levantine, African Great Lakes, etc. Don't form any political regions. They form genetic regions of similar STR values. It's really important to understand that. Those are not political regions but genetic regions of similar STRs values (alleles).

Said in another way, Horn Africa for example, is a region of similar and distinct enough STR values, while many people of different genetic region lives in Horn Africa (we have seen that they have a small red bar). So what the mummies are compared with is the red bar, their local and cohesive/similar component, if you know what I mean. [That's what I think anyway, even if I seem to contradict myself from what I said above. I still think they didn't pick the right non-admixed Horn Africans, less admixed people, for the record. See their SNP study for example, where Horn Africans -probably different samples- are closer to other African groups. Maybe their Horn African group form a cluster of STR of foreign origin locally mutated after their arrival in Horn Africa...].

Anyway, DNA Tribes provide further confirmation of the African locality of those STRs value:

quote:
Specifically, both of these ancient individuals inherited the alleles D21S11=35 and CSFIPO=7, which are found throughout Sub-Saharan Africa but are comparatively rare or absent in other regions of the world . These African related alleles are different from the African related alleles identified for the previously studied Amarna period mummies (D18S51=19 and D21S11=34).11 This provides independent evidence for African autosomal ancestry in two different pharaonic families of New Kingdom Egypt.
http://dnatribes.com/dnatribes-digest-2013-02-01.pdf

Also as I said above, other studies also seems to confirm what DNA Tribes determined 2 times using the JAMA and BMJ study.

I didn't see that reply before I replied to the other similar post of yours above.

The Egyptian copts seems to be there though. Egyptian Copt (Adaima, Egypt) (100)

As we already discussed, any populations not already in the database would need to be closer to so-called Sub-Saharan people than any other populations like (Europeans, West Asians, North African, etc) already in the DNA Tribes database.

The BMJ study also confirm the issue. Same for the Beyoku's preview study.

The only way any other populations/people (like anywhere in Africa, modern Egypt or the world) can match Ancient Egyptians is if they are more African than any populations already in the DNA Tribes database, because populations already in the DNA tribes database have already been "rejected" as being close to Ancient Egyptians (they have a low or absent MLI scores). For example, maybe the Tibu could be part of the Sahelian or Great Lakes regions genetic group (based on their STR alleles).

Try to absorb some knowledge the lioness (or find error in what I say, of course). I can't repeat the same thing over and over again.

I didn't see that reply before I replied to the other similar post of yours above.

The Egyptian copts seems to be there though. Egyptian Copt (Adaima, Egypt) (100)


However they comprise only about 10% of the Egyptian population.
Similarly Beja, Maasai, or Toubou would also have to be isolated
to compare these particular ethnic groups to the Amarna mummies.
It is unreasonable to assume that while DNA Consultants a similar private testing firm found Copts to have the highest matching to AEs that DNA Tribes tested for Copts and found them so low in their charting of 12 separate categories on the they were beat out by North West Europans, too low to even make it on the chart!

The only way any other populations/people (like anywhere in Africa, modern Egypt or the world) can match Ancient Egyptians is if they are more African than any populations already in the DNA Tribes database,


^false statement assumption, you are not being objective

any populations not already in the database would not need to be closer to so-called Sub-Saharan they would only need to match the Amarna

Secondly you make grand statements about The Egyptians when this is several particular mummies from a specific time period

Try to absorb some knowledge the lioness (or find error in what I say, of course). I can't repeat the same thing over and over again. [/qb]

you don't have evidence that Tibu have been specifically rejected

You're right the Tibu for example, or any population not already in the DNA Tribes database , could have the highest MLI scores, but they would need to be unrelated to Europeans, West Asians, North Africans, Native Americans, etc populations already in the DNA Tribes database(since those populations have a low MLI scores with the mummies). It's not an assumption, it's direct.

How many populations in the world are unrelated (thus doesn't share STR alleles) to populations already in the DNA Tribes database?

For example, the Tibu would probably be most related to Great Lakes or Sahelians Africans. Egyptian Copts to Levantines populations, population in Europe (not already in the DNA Tribes database) probably to other Europeans populations, etc. In short, any populations not in the DNA Tribes database should be related to populations already in the DNA Tribes database.

First you said they had to be something first now you say the must not be something else first

This is a false statement and shows lack of objectivity

The only thing a population needs to do to match the Amarna is to match the Amarna
They don't have to not be something first

Whenever you say "needs to be"

realize you are about to make an bias error

It's not a lack of objectivity it's basic logic. The DNA Tribe study does 2 things.

1) Exclude populations like in Europe, West Asia, America (natives), North Africa already in their database (or related to those already in the database) from closeness to Ancient Egyptians mummies. Those populations have a low MLI scores with the Ancient Egyptians mummies.

2) It determined Africans from the Great Lakes, Southern Africa and Tropical West Africa, or people closely related to them, as being close to Ancient Egyptians. More than any populations (or related populations) on earth already in the DNA Tribes database. Those populations have a high MLI scores with the Ancient Egyptian mummies.

So both statements are true.

It's cringing to still have to post this 2 years
after the fact, but to know the amount of West,
South and East African ancestry the sampled
individuals from the 18th and 19th dynasty had,
you need to see how many endemic haplotypes from
each of these respective regions Egyptians had.
The only thing these MLI scores show is the
haplotypes West, South, East African and Ancient
Egyptian regions have in common. There is big a
difference due to the classic dilemma of whether
population affinity between two given populations
is due to 1) common ancestors or 2) gene-flow.
Egyptians will not have haplotype contributions
from African populations in the order described by
DNA Tribes' MLI table, because these haplotypes
clearly transcend individual African populations;
they're ubiquitous in Africa. Don't take my word
for it, this is what DNA Tribes keeps saying in
their marketing materials. Anyone who has read
these reports and/or has been around during the
numerous discussions about what these results
mean, and who still thinks at this point that the
MLI scores mean that the Ancient Egyptians had
more contributions from, say, a Zulu-like
population than a Masai-like population, is
definitely wilfully reaching at this point.

So both statements are true.

As observation is followed by a conclusion you had it backwards when you said "needs to be"

There shouldn't be a need

I mentioned Horn Africans.
You said they didn't take samples to you liking therefore had they results may have been different.
People have spent years in this forum talking about an affinity between the Egyptian and people to the South. That region is now called Sudan, it borders Egypt. Sudan is in the DNA TRibes database for African populations, Horn region according to DNATribes

How could Sudan which borders Egypt of which is along a river flowing up into Egypt have an MLI score around 14.65
while South Africa is 359.72 and West Africa 142.84

25 less times than SA, 10 times less than West Africa

tell me how this makes sense from either an ancestry or gene flow perspective

Hmmm, I assumed all along "MLI" meant "Maternal Line Index"


DNA Tribes uses the acronym "MLI" as: "Match Likelihood Index".

ARTU's interpretation is correct.


Q: What are MLI scores?


A: Each DNA Tribes Native and Global Population Match and World Region Match is listed with a Match Likelihood
Index (MLI) score that indicates your odds of belonging to that population relative to your odds of belonging to a
generic human population. For instance, a Native Population Match with Macedonia scored 45.2 indicates your
genetic ancestry is 45.2 times as likely in Macedonia as in the world.

Population and world region match results are provided in a ranked listing, from most likely to least likely. Top
ranked scores indicate your best population or regional matches in the DNA Tribes database. All matches can be
compared against each other as odds ratios. For instance, if you obtain a score of 25.0 for Bavarian and 5.0 for
Macedonian, this means your genetic profile is 25.0/5.0 = 5.0 times as likely to be Bavarian as Macedonian.

Q: What are typical scores for my ethnic group? Are my scores very high or low?

A: Individuals within each population exhibit a characteristic range of world region scores. This range varies by
world region and ethnicity. For this reason, each MLI score in your population and world region rankings is
assigned a percentile-based TribeScore that expresses how your MLI score fits among members of that population
or region.

Q: What are TribeScores?

TribeScores are a unique scoring method developed by DNA Tribes that compares a person's match scores for a
population to the scores of actual members within that ethnic group or region. Each DNA Tribes match includes a
TribeScore in parentheses, listing your MLI score’s percentile in that population. TribeScores compares your MLI
scores to members of each ethnic group and world region. For instance, results listing “Switzerland (0.73)”
indicate that your MLI score is higher than 73% of scores from this Swiss reference population, and lower than 27%
of these Swiss individuals. TribeScores of (0.05) and above are within the expected range for a population, and
TribeScores between the (0.25) and above are ordinary or typical for members of that population. TribeScores
indicate how high or low your score is in the specific context of each population, providing the necessary point
of reference to explain each MLI score.

I have seen on MULTIPLE occasions African American samples that have no known or TESTED genetic ties to Southern Moroccans, Horn Africans or Turareg match with these very sample populations. As far as STR analysis, in these specific instances it seems as if DNA Tribes is basically matching up some very simple ratios of what it considers generic Non-African/African Ancestry. This was the case with some of the older analysis, i dont know how this figures out in the Mummies tests.

Furthermore all these folks that can be grouped into "Great lakes" have very different NRY/Mtdna profiles. Southern Sudanese are promarirly A/B/E. The Anuak have a heavy dose of E1b1a7 (40%) which btw does not reflect in their autosomal makup as West African. ALur on the other had are mostly defined by A and E2a. The Bulala could be defined by E1b1a and V-88 similar to the regions.

It's what we want since DNA Tribes analyse the autosomal STR DNA. So not just one female or male line both the combination of the two as well as other lines. So it gives a better representation of African people as a group of interrelated people than the Y-DNA and to a lesser extend MtDNA, which (the MtDNA) already show a much bigger admixture pictures between different African people than Y-DNA, probably due to patrilocality. In patrilocality, Y-DNA male line appears to be more stable than MtDNA female line which show a higher level of admixture. The continuous interrelationship and admixture level between African people is even higher for autosomal STR DNA.

Let's recall that most modern African people have their genesis in Eastern Africa and the Sahara. It's later on that they colonized Western Africa and Southern Africa. Admixing further more with other (related or not related) Africans already there. Personally, I don't view it as one migration but has multiple migration events in both (multiple) direction (but more analysis are needed for that last part).

In the previous post that was deleted, that I will try to repost below, we can see from the DNA Tribes autosomal STR DNA analysis of African people that African people are very close to each other genetically. There's a relatively small genetic distance between African people.

Posted by Amun-Ra The Ultimate (Member # 20039) on :
 
I already posted this before it got deleted, I will try to post it again from memory.

According to the DNA Tribes analysis of autosomal STR DNA of African people. All the African groups under study (beside Horn Africans), namely, the Great Lakes Africans, Southern Africans, Tropical West Africans and Sahelians Africans are very close to each other genetically. AKA all African people are very close to each other genetically.

Let's observe again the Euclidean genetic distance tree (from the 2010-2012 documents) from the DNA Tribes document already posted above. The tree is on scale:

 -

We can clearly see that the African groups (labelled Sub-Saharan Africans) mentioned above which happens to be the same groups matching the Ancient Egyptians mummies and which happens to constitute the majority of natives African people. That is Great Lakes, Tropical, Southern, Sahelians are very close to each other genetically and are put under the label Sub-Saharan African. We can see for example that the genetic distance between that Sub-Saharan African group and the group labelled Eurasian is relatively large, which we can use as a comparison.

So while the DNA Tribes results match some African regions more than others, it doesn't say much because all African people are very close to each other genetically (using autosomal STR). There's a small genetic distance between African populations of all regions.

DNA Tribes could easily have put all the labelled "Sub-Saharan African" into one group then analyse the proportion of autosomal STR DNA between that Sub-Saharan African group and the rest of the world. It would have change nothing about the results beside giving us a different MLI scores (bigger of course since African groups wouldn't compete with each other when doing the MLI calculation (proportion of STR frequency vs other groups)).

I already explained it like one year ago. It's basic logic. There's obviously no contradiction between being genetically diverse (having a lot of different genes) and being close to each other genetically (sharing those genes relatively equally between each others). That great quantity and diversity of genes shared by African people are absent or rare among other populations on earth. It's not related to genetics, it's basic logic.

It's probably due to shared origin (not shared with other populations on earth, since they are relatively genetically distant) and a relatively high level of admixture between African populations.

We know almost all modern African groups (aka a big part of their ancestry) comes genetically from East Africa (much after the common human origin course) which then spread to the Sahara, then West Africa and the rest of Africa. So that's the common origin part.

With a lot of admixture and back and forth movements (imo,for that second part) along the way. Which is the relatively high level of interrelationship and admixture part.

We also know that most modern African languages like Niger-Kordofanian (Niger-Congo, Bantu, Yoruba, Dogon, Wolof, etc), Nilo-Saharans, Cushitic/Chadic and even earlier on Khoisan languages, are said to all have their linguistic origin around the Eastern Africa region.

This is NOT a good thing nor what we want. This is at times what DNA Tribes will produce. IF you are from the Dominican Republic are are 60% Generic Iberian and 40% Generic Senegamibian DNA TRibes pointing you to a population of Southern Moroccans or Egyptians as a match is not a good thing just because they may have a similar breakdown of "African / Eurasian" ancestry.

It's a good thing of course. People who don't come from the same population but share the same admixture between ancestral populations will show up as higher match.

Southern Moroccans, Horn Africans or Tuareg share some African genes as well as Eurasian genes and some African-American share some of those African genes with them as well as Eurasian genes. It may not show up on the Y-DNA and MtDNA analysis of those particular African-American individuals, but it shows on the autosomal STR analysis. Autosomal STR analysis check all the ancestral lineages not only one male and female lineage respectively.

Usually, when you're an African-American you mentally exclude admixed populations like Tuareg, Horn Africans, Southern Moroccans and, lets say, Afro-Brazilians. Since while they may share the same STR genetic profile with you, the same ancestral admixture, they don't constitute very ancient relatively un-admixed native populations, which is usually what we seek to know when we want to know from which "tribe(s)" we come from (BTW, most African-Americans usually come from many tribes, because at the very least, the inter-tribe admixture after their arrival in America. African-Americans, now in America, intermarry between ancestral African ethnic groups without knowing which African ethnic groups they originally come from. An African-American man from the Igbo, may intermarry with an African-American woman from the Kongo, without knowing about it. Same thing for their parents and grandparents in America.).

I never said that, and the relatively close genetic distance (using autosomal STR value) between African people was done at high resolution (of course).

Yes, you did suggest that low resolution is a good
thing (you may not think that you have, but that's
what your words boil down to), and no, the data
you're referring to, which gives the impression of
high degrees of similarity can't be high resolution
because in this particular analysis (the dendrogram
you posted) they're pooling Africa's tremendous
indigenous diversity up into four regions, hiding
each ethny's high inter variability compared to
other ethnies who belong to other divisions
( usually linguistic). What Beyoku is talking about may also be
a function of lower resolution. There they seem
to be mostly distinguishing between African vs
West Eurasian haplotypes, potentially leading to
matches that can be as eyebrow raising as Modern
Egyptian and African American (who aren't descended
from highly similar source populations).

Again, you may not understand this because this
is similar to what I and others have been telling
you for 1.5 years.

I presume you will explain why you think that in your mind.

Of course DNA Tribes analysis in general (like the one used for making the genetic tree of the human population) are of high resolution. That's why they can pinpoint which tribes/ethnic groups you most likely come from (natives populations which you share autosomal STR value with) when you buy one of their DNA analysis kit.

The four regions we see in the tree is only a choice made by those who made the tree. The Euclidean distance would be ***exactly*** the same between the common 4 nodes of the tree if it was of higher solution. The tree would only be a bit more cluttered with those 4 nodes further subdividing between African sub-ethnic groups like Yoruba, Bantu, Dogon, Wolof, Dinka, Tibu, etc.

The only thing that is low resolution (beside the **appearance** of the graph) here is the DNA analysis of the mummies since it's only 8 STR location. Which can't pin-point exactly which African population is most likely the closest to Ancient Egyptians. But at the end of it, it doesn't matter since on their high resolution analysis of African people those groups are very close to each other (compared to other populations on earth like the labelled Eurasian group). And the common genetic origin of African and Ancient Egyptian people probably predates the formation of the current sub-ethnic groups in Africa like modern Yoruba, Zulu, Dogon, Wolof, Dinka, Fur, Ancient Egyptians, etc*

* It may also postdate the Ancient Egyptian empire for people who consider diffusion from Ancient Egypt toward Africa, which I don't consider much, since, for me at best those would be minor genetic events (in term of proportion of admixture from Ancient Egypt). I may be wrong about that last part.

That's fluff. If you look in the mirror, you will see the finger pointing right back at you.

If you don't offer proper explanations for you "belief", what can I say? I backed all my points with graph, data and facts. And you don't provide counter arguments points by points. Which I did for your post(s). People can easily verify things for themselves.

I encourage people to counter-argument me or ask for further explanations because I want my explanations to be as much clear as possible. I may even change opinion if I'm wrong. Leave the fluff aside for real counter argumentation.

If you say so.

----------------

For those who don't know the difference, compare
low res DNA analysis where indigenous African
ancestry is partitioned into rather abstract
clusters like "Great Lakes", "Horn", "Central
African" and "Tropical West African", with higher
res findings, which clearly shows stratification
along Africa's many (sub)linguistic lines (especially
when assimilation is taken into account):

quote:
We studied 121 African populations, four
African American populations, and 60 non-African
populations for patterns of variation at 1327
nuclear microsatellite and insertion/deletion
markers. We identified 14 ancestral population
clusters in Africa that correlate with self-
described ethnicity and shared cultural and/or
linguistic properties.
We observed high
levels of mixed ancestry in most populations,
reflecting historical migration events across the
continent. Our data also provide evidence for
shared ancestry among geographically diverse
hunter-gatherer populations (Khoesan speakers and
Pygmies). The ancestry of African Americans is
predominantly from Niger-Kordofanian (~71%),
European (~13%), and other African (~8%) populations,
although admixture levels varied considerably
among individuals.

--Tishkoff et al, 2009

When you see DNA Tribes closely matching African
Americans not with other mixed Africans who are
composed of European and West African ancestry
(e.g. people from Cape Verde), but instead with
people who are composed of groups who are only
distantly similar (e.g. Indian Siddis), you can
be certain there isn't much resolution involved,
because if there was high res, African Americans
wouldn't be highly similar to Siddis. The latter's
source populations are Eastern Bantu speakers and
Indians, not West Africans and West Europeans.

That's ridiculous. You mistaken the presentation of a graph with the level of (high) resolutions DNA analysis used to make it (27 STR markers). Of course, if you perform a DNA genetic test using autosomal STR, DNA Tribes will show you which tribes you most likely come from. For example, Yoruba, Igbo, etc. Just like the Tishkoff study. DNA Tribes won't send you only "Great Lakes Africans" as your origin. That's crazy. You can't possibly believe that.

The tree ***presentation*** is at low resolution only as a convenience (the purpose of the paper is to show the relation between world regions, not sub-ethnic groups) but the genetic data used to make the tree are taken at high resolution (27 STR markers).

No matter what presentation the tree has, the data used to make it, that is the 27 STR markers used, are of high resolution enough to pin-point which tribes you most likely come from (the ones you share STR alleles with).

This tree below:
 -
Effectively shows that all those 4 African populations (labelled Sub-Saharan Africans in the tree) are relatively very close genetically to each other (compared to with Eurasian for example, which can be use as a comparison). All this using high resolution 27-markers STR profiles.

African-American individuals who have none of their recent ancestors mixed with other people like Russians, Chinese, Finnish, and Siddis. Will have populations such as the Siddis appearing low on the list of matching tribes (it will have a low MLI scores). For various reasons like pre-OOA STR alleles shared between all humans, modern, or even ancient, "low level" admixtures, etc.

I dont know if you are playing dumb or you just dont get it. African Americans, and predominant African descendant people in the Caribbean have no RECENT connections to Horn Africans, Southern Morroccans, Southern Egyptians, Tuareg etc. This is the EXTREME Majority of us. Only in some rare rare cases is this not the fact and usually then it is documented. If a person from the Dominican republic or better yet Chicago takes a test where they are Y-Dna E1b1a and mtdna H1- And they have known non-African admixture in the 30-50% range. Them getting a match for the above listed groups is not a good thing because it is not based on any reality regarding their OWN Ancestry.

It would be like Obama getting a match of Southern Egyptian based on the fact he is 50% Eurasian. Or Obama's children getting Southern Moroccan or Saharawi based simply on their generic composition of East African, West African and European. In NO WAY is this a good thing because it is not based on reality. If the MLI scores were LOW then I wouldn't be bringing this up then would I? Results like this would have ZERO VALUE to the person participating in the test. The fact that a generic ancestry COMPOSITION is similar has no bearing on an individuals recent Ancestry. This is the part you are missing. It could be when looking at these mummy results is the MLI scores just show where the COMBINATION of such ancestry that was in Egypt can NOW be found.

So the "Great lakes" region for example would have a high match simply because the MODERN population shows the best proxy of Combined Horn,Central,West African and Old Hunter Gather Ancestry. DNA Tribes algorithm is secret. You have to take these other results into consideration. You should analyze your OWN ancestry. It puts things into perspective.

As far as STR analysis, in these specific instances it seems as if DNA Tribes is basically matching up some very simple ratios of what it considers generic Non-African/African Ancestry."

This is NOT a good thing nor what we want. This is at times what DNA Tribes will produce. IF you are from the Dominican Republic are are 60% Generic Iberian and 40% Generic Senegamibian DNA TRibes pointing you to a population of Southern Moroccans or Egyptians as a match is not a good thing just because they may have a similar breakdown of "African / Eurasian" ancestry.

It's a good thing of course. People who don't come from the same population but share the same admixture between ancestral populations will show up as higher match.

Southern Moroccans, Horn Africans or Tuareg share some African genes as well as Eurasian genes and some African-American share some of those African genes with them as well as Eurasian genes. It may not show up on the Y-DNA and MtDNA analysis of those particular African-American individuals, but it shows on the autosomal STR analysis. Autosomal STR analysis check all the ancestral lineages not only one male and female lineage respectively.

Usually, when you're an African-American you mentally exclude admixed populations like Tuareg, Horn Africans, Southern Moroccans and, lets say, Afro-Brazilians. Since while they may share the same STR genetic profile with you, the same ancestral admixture, they don't constitute very ancient relatively un-admixed native populations, which is usually what we seek to know when we want to know from which "tribe(s)" we come from (BTW, most African-Americans usually come from many tribes, because at the very least, the inter-tribe admixture after their arrival in America. African-Americans, now in America, intermarry between ancestral African ethnic groups without knowing which African ethnic groups they originally come from. An African-American man from the Igbo, may intermarry with an African-American woman from the Kongo, without knowing about it. Same thing for their parents and grandparents in America. This example make more sense in the far past during their arrival in America since most African-American individuals are *already* constituted by an admixture of many African Ethnic groups, so the expression "an African-American from the Igbo", makes usually only sense in the far past during their arrival in America).

Taking an STR test that places you close to Horners/Egyptians/Moroccans just because of a mixture of Non-African/African is NOT a good thing....It says NOTHING about your recent ancestors if you dad is NIGERIAN and your mother is GERMAN.

Maybe you should pay attention too and think about what I said. I can't analyze the data you have in your head, it's something that must be proven by you, but in general: It's perfectly normal for people like Obama, who don't come from the same population to share genetic profile with populations who share the same ancestral admixture. The contrary would be strange. The guy is 50% admixed between Europeans and Africans, how can he matches Kenyans or Europeans tribes (who are not admixed) first before matching admixed ethnic groups like Tuareg, Horn Africans, Afro-Brazilians etc? His Kenyan and European lineages will show up at slightly lower MLI than those admixed populations, but it will be there down the list toward the top half (unless those Kenyan and European lineages were already admixed like the majority of African-American, but it's not the case with Obama since his father comes directly from Kenya, his mother is less clear (well I didn't check), probably from directly from England of course).

populations are among each other, with very
little difference in distance to the tested
individual. They're all roughly equidistant to
that person (0.73-0.71). There is also zero ability
to estimate admixture percentages. This is to be
blamed squarely on the fact that its low resolution.
The amount of STR alleles are not very discriminative
so for their algorithm to really discern useful
relationships, the STRs need to be increased way
up until a certain threshold is reached and the
algorithm is able to give you highly instructive
data like Tishkoff (who used >1300 STRs +
indels). Sikora et al say this threshold is at
~1000 for their battery of SNPs. The threshold
may be somewhat higher or lower for STRs, depending
on if the used STRs are more or less discriminative
than the SNPs used by Sikora et al.

Studies of large sets of single nucleotide
polymorphism (SNP) data have proven to be a
powerful tool in the analysis of the genetic
structure of human populations. In this work, we
analyze genotyping data for 2841 SNPs in 12
sub-Saharan African populations, including a
previously unsampled region of southeastern
Africa (Mozambique). We show that robust
results in a world-wide perspective can be
obtained when analyzing only 1000 SNPs.
Our
main results both confirm the results of previous
studies, and show new and interesting features in
sub-Saharan African genetic complexity. There is
a strong differentiation of Nilo-Saharans, much
beyond what would be expected by geography. Hunter-
gatherer populations (Khoisan and Pygmies) show a
clear distinctiveness with very intrinsic Pygmy
(and not only Khoisan) genetic features. Populations
of the West Africa present an unexpected similarity
among them, possibly the result of a population
expansion. Finally, we find a strong differentiation
of the southeastern Bantu population from Mozambique,
which suggests an assimilation of a pre-Bantu
substrate by Bantu speakers in the region

Going back to DNA Tribes Amarna study, you can see
that the continent-wide higher matches in Africa
represent peaks of shared generic African ancestry
(likely due to less outside influences in the
regions with the higher peaks), not that the
regions high on the list have more non-generic
(i.e. specific) ancestry in common with the
Egyptians than regions that are lower on the list.
In other words, almost every African population
has individuals with mtDNA L3 (shared generic
ancestry) but not every population has individuals
with mtDNA L3e2a1b1 (highly specific). Just like
the difference between mtDNA L3 and mtDNA L3e2a1b1
lies in resolution, the difference between what
DNA Tribes does with their STR tests vs what
Tishkoff 2009 did lies in resolution. It's a world
of difference and it doesn't make sense to say
that low resolution relationships are "a good thing".

Granted. Those particular groups tell us about his ancient shared ancestry. The overall list by DNA Tribes of matching populations (and/or matching native populations), not only restricted to those groups, will tells us about **both*** recent and ancient ancestry.

Which is something good, since it represent a true picture of our full genome. Not only restricted to the period between lets say 1000 and 1900, but also by periods predating (and postdating like in America) that period. So periods like when Niger-Kordofanian speakers, for example, was only one population speaking one language called (proto) Niger-Kordofanian. Other periods, may be when Igbo and Yoruba formed only one populations and spoke one language, etc. Or even further back when Africans spoke only one Kongo-Saharan/Niger-Saharan or even before one Negro-Egyptian language.

Yes, the list of matching populations given by DNA Tribes after you perform a test with them
, will show you among other things a list of populations which have about the same (possibly very ancient) admixture as yourself. But if you check the list, toward the top, it will also show you native populations like the Yoruba, Dinka, Kongo, etc which is what we are usually looking for. Usually, African-Americans due to their "unknowing" admixture between (at the very least) African ethnic groups since their arrival in America will show up as a mix of African native populations (as well as populations which have the same admixture as you). Some African-American also have some Native and European genes at low level.

You must look at the top of the list to see the native populations which you share most ("private") STR with. You show me a list that is between the 33th and 54th populations match. Which tend to show you, among other things, more ancient STR matches. If you check the list between 1 and 33, you will see African native populations (as well as diasporic populations and possibly populations with the same admixture as you). Since people taking the test usually don't care much about diasporic populations and similar admixed populations, people usually concentrate on native African populations on the list and mentally discard the other diasporic/admixed populations on the top of the list (well, some people may find that interesting too).

In general, when DNA Tribes does an analysis of with 27-STR markers. Some of the 27 markers:

1)Will act as a form of private alleles. Absent or rare in other populations. For example, some Yoruba private STR alleles, share by few populations beside the Yoruba. Those will help pinpoint which native ethnic groups composition you have.

2) Other STR alleles among the 27 markers, will relate to admixture within Africa which **predate** the differentiation of the current modern ethnic group such as Yoruba, Zulu, Dogon, Wolof, Somali but postdate the main Out of Africa migration (OOA). So alleles that are distinct to Africa but are rare or absent on other continent. We could find some alleles common to Niger-Kordofanian speakers for example (or even before that like the Negro-Egyptian family of Obenga, or after that like the Benue-Congo language sub-family of the Niger-Kordofanian family ).

3)Some of the STR alleles among the 27 markers, will relate to STR alleles that existed among all human before the main OOA migration and drifted and admixed at different level across time. So those alleles can even possibly match Natives Americans even if you're African, as well as other disparate populations on earth. Those are STR alleles common to all humans with different level of drift and frequency between different modern human populations.


So out of the 27 STR markers used to analyze the DNA of a person. Some appeared and spread at different times in human history. Some combination of private alleles and non-private are very frequent among certain populations but rare among others.
Private alleles tend to have bigger "weight" when performing a calculation because of the gross difference between the proportion of those alleles in different populations. A population like Yoruba can have 20% of certain private alleles, but Eurasian, 0.001%. A proportion which increase the MLI scores toward the Yoruba in a big manner. Some alleles can be "private" to a larger groups like all Niger-Kordofanian speakers, or all African people (compared to other populations). Those alleles, for example, may indeed have first appeared when Niger-Kordofanian speakers were only one population, at one location, speaking one common language called proto-Niger-Kordofanian.

It's probably the same type of admixture but from more ancient times. Before 1000 and 1900 BC. More ancient STR alleles than when Yoruba, for example, first started to separate and differentiate from other Niger-Kordofanian speakers. Alleles that very ancient African populations could have shared with other humans (or even before, when all humans lived in Africa. So alleles shared between all humans, but which drifted at different level depending on the populations).


quote:

You seem to think for whatever reason that these Mummies did not have "Mixed" Ancestry.

*I* don't think these mummies did not have mixed ancestry? You must have misunderstood me. I strongly believe that, it's pretty clear that it's true with the aDNA analysis thus far. My first post on this thread is talking about confirming the theory that Ancient Egyptians were composed of many different African lineages and ethnic groups who settled along the Nile during the dessication of the Sahara . Unified under one state by Narmer. So I also strongly believe that Ancient Egyptians (and their mummies) are composed by an admixture of many different African populations and lineages.

Let's not forget what DNA Tribes said about the results of Ancient Egyptians mummies:
Here's a passage from the DNA Tribes study about the 20th Dynasty royal mummies:
quote:
Specifically, both of these ancient individuals inherited the alleles D21S11=35 and CSFIPO=7, which are found throughout Sub-Saharan Africa but are comparatively rare or absent in other regions of the world . These African related alleles are different from the African related alleles identified for the previously studied Amarna period mummies (D18S51=19 and D21S11=34).11 This provides independent evidence for African autosomal ancestry in two different pharaonic families of New Kingdom Egypt.
http://dnatribes.com/dnatribes-digest-2013-02-01.pdf
http://dnatribes.com/dnatribes-digest-2012-01-01.pdf

So the alleles possessed by mummies while common among African people are rare or absent in other populations like Eurasian. So it makes those mummies distinctively like a admixture of African people with little foreign elements. It's an admixture of African people before the Yoruba, Wolof, Dogon, Tibu, Fur and multiple other sub-ethnic groups existed (but after Eurasians left Africa during the main OOA migration).

This graph comparing all the world regions in the world must be analyzed in comparison.

 -

The only way this Euclidean distance tree make sense is when you compare the distance between African populations and then between other populations like Eurasian. The distance between African populations is much smaller than between those population and Eurasian. This relatively closeness of African people and the relative small distance between African people (labelled Sub-Saharan Africans in the image) and Eurasian, explain why the Ancient Egyptian mummies matches sub-Saharan populations more than anything.

So at the end of it, it doesn't matter which African population it matches most among and within the 4 main groups (Great Lakes, Sahelians,etc). Because all those 4 African genetic (autosomal STR) family are very close to each others. Which is evident for people who knows a bit about the history of African people marked by series of multiple migrations, interrelationship and admixtures in different directions and at different level throughout history.

Let's talk more about the genetic unity of African people (including Ancient Egyptians of course). Scholars like Diop, have made a great strides in showing us the cultural unity of African people (including Ancient Egypt). In the above post, I also show the genetic unity of African people using the World regions genetic tree based on Euclidean distance produced by DNA Tribes using autosomal STR data.

I won't post the image again, but here's the link:
http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Amunratheoludumare/Misc/EuclediandistanceHumanGeneticFamilytree_zpsae865dee.gif~original

In that example, I used DNA Tribes STR data because it's the same data that show that Ancient Egyptians mummies aDNA (autosomal STR) are very close to so called Sub-Saharan African people (which could be called Sub-Coastal Africans imo) and far from other populations like other North Africans, Europeens, Eurasians, Native Americans, etc.

But many other genetic studies, also show the same thing.

For example consider those genetic distance/structure tree, and graph.

 -
Extracted from: Toward a more uniform sampling of human genetic diversity: A survey of worldwide populations by high-density genotyping, Xing (2010)

The graph, and the study, says it all but I can spell it out.

A graph: Here we have a neighbor-joining tree based on genetic distances using SNPs of various populations on earth. It's a bit similar to the DNA tribe genetic tree above.

We can see again that African people are genetically close and cluster with each others by comparing distance between the African group with other populations such North Europeans, etc. The map is on scale of course.

It's also interesting to note that people like Yoruba (YRI), Dogon, Nguni Bantu, even !Kung/Pygmy clusters with each others and clusters with "great lakes" population like the Alur.

So the Alur, mentioned in other posts above by Swenet and Beyoku, cluster with other African populations like Yoruba, Dogon, Bambaran and are relatively genetically very close to each others.

So we can see both phenomena. The structuring/differentiation of Yoruba, Alur, etc into distinct genetic groups, as well as the genetic closeness between those African ethnic groups measured by the genetic distance.


B graph: Here we have a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) based on the pairwise allele-sharing distances among all pairs of 850 individuals. Again we see that African individuals from Yoruba, Dogon, Pygmy, Alur and Luhya cluster with each others, are relatively genetically close to each other. So again, Alur individuals (labelled Great Lakes in one DNA tribes SNP study) are very genetically close to Yoruba and Bantu individuals for example.


C graph: Here we see the structuring and clustering of populations based on Admixture. This graph doesn't show information about the genetic distance, but we can see at K=4, that African people are close enough to form a distinct brown colored would-be ancestral populations clusters. At K=14, we can see structuring and differentiation among African populations, but there's no information about genetic distance from this graph presentation. Which is not a problem since we have such information in graph A and B.

Here's from another study, another genetic distance tree:
 -
I didn't analyze it, but I think it's based on SNPs too. It's on scale of course. Again we can see that African populations such as Yoruba, Bantu, Mandenka, Mbuti, San, etc are genetically close to each others. We can also note that Mozabite populations don't cluster much with other African people despite having some African genes (haplotype). They seem to be "mid" way between Africans and non-Africans. So it takes a lot and deep admixture to cluster with one another. Which is clear by observing relative genetic distances between populations.

So again, this show that the African history is a history of interrelationship among many African populations and lineages.

I just want to mention that the graphs above, and other similar graphs in genetic literature, analyze genetic distance between populations, not between individuals within a population. That is the frequencies of different alleles are compared between populations (pop A have 15% of this specific allele, pop B only have 0.5%). It should be called *population* genetic distance. This is perfectly appropriate for the subject of this thread because we usually want to know to which modern populations Ancient Egyptians were closer. For example, we want to know if Ancient Egyptians were genetically closer to African people or European people or West Asian people. That is we want to know if Ancient Egyptians *are* Africans. So for example, if a sample of Ancient Egyptians mummies got the allele D21S11=35 at the frequency of 15% (or just got it for an individual mummy) and African people got it at the frequency of 10% while other populations only got it at between 0% or 0.01%, then obviously for this allele, Ancient Egyptians are closer to African people. One allele is usually not enough to analyze population genetic distance and proximity, we usually use more than one allele. DNA Tribes for example, used 27 STR markers (maybe approx: 27*20=540 alleles.). For those curious, since its unrelated to Ancient Egyptians origin or adna analysis, some studies say there's as much genetic differences between individuals from different populations that within a population. Although usually, with enough genetic information like SNPs we can correctly classify individuals within the correct population with a good level of probability. It's always a good idea to bring things into perspective. Humans are genetically very close to one another. Only 0.3% of SNPs are said to exist between humans in the whole genome (3 billion base pair). Also SNPs tend to be of higher frequency (density) in non-functional part of the genome. SNPs are mutations which are possessed by at least 1% of the population by definition. Since we're all born with between 60-100 new mutations each according to the latest studies about it (the exact number has no importance here). That is mutations not possessed by our parents. Although our parents did transmit part of their 60-100 new mutations, which are thus only restricted to the family, that is the individual parent and its children (and their own children later on). Personally, on the philosophical level, I like the idea that we're all mutants, or said more cleanly, that we all have genes/allele which are unique to us. This bring forward the idea of individuality and diversity. We are all (genetically) unique, not just a combination of our parents DNA, while at the same time related to all the other humans by shared DNA (shared ancestry).

I think my reply to this post was deleted at the same time of other posts on this site (and in this thread), so I will answer it again.

each of these respective regions Egyptians had.
The only thing these MLI scores show is the
haplotypes West, South, East African and Ancient
Egyptian regions have in common. There is big a
difference due to the classic dilemma of whether
population affinity between two given populations
is due to 1) common ancestors or 2) gene-flow.
Egyptians will not have haplotype contributions
from African populations in the order described by
DNA Tribes' MLI table, because these haplotypes
clearly transcend individual African populations;
they're ubiquitous in Africa. Don't take my word
for it, this is what DNA Tribes keeps saying in
their marketing materials. Anyone who has read
these reports and/or has been around during the
numerous discussions about what these results
mean, and who still thinks at this point that the
MLI scores mean that the Ancient Egyptians had
more contributions from, say, a Zulu-like
population than a Masai-like population, is
definitely wilfully reaching at this point.

Frankly, I don't care about those things. Usually we just want to know if Ancient Egyptians were African people or not. Or said in another way, if Ancient Egyptians were genetically much closer to Africans than any other populations on earth like Europeans, West Asians, other North Africans, Native Americans, etc.

The aDNA analysis of Ancient Egyptian mummies thus far (Ramses III=E-M2/E1b1a, DNA Tribes/JAMA, DNA Tribes/BMJ, Beyoku's preview study) show that Ancient Egyptians were indeed Africans. They were genetically closer to African people more than any other populations on earth. They also possess African A, B and E haplotypes (according to Beyoku's preview of the study).

As I said above in this thread. Most of the shared origin between African people (including Ancient Egyptians) probably predates the formation of Ancient Egypt. We know that the genetic origin of most modern African people is somewhere in Eastern Africa (much after the common origin of all humans of course). For example, all E-P2 descendants like E-M2 and E-M215 carriers have their origin somewhere around East Africa (Sudan, Ethiopia, Southern Egypt, etc). Maybe the same thing could be said about many modern A and B carriers. Also, most modern African language groups also have their common origin in the same Eastern African regions. That is Niger-Kordofanian speakers, Nilo-Saharans, Khoisan and Cushitic/Chadic speakers. So both the linguistic and the genetic origin of modern African people can be found in Eastern Africa (same could be said about the origin of many other religious and cultural traits like headrests, divine kingship, etc, which can be found all over Africa). So during the Green Sahara period, which precedes the birth of Ancient Egypt, many African groups and lineages spread to the Sahara, developing the wavy-line pottery civilizations which extended from the Atlantic coast to Eastern Africa in the region now occupied by the Sahara desert and the Sahel. We can note than the oldest pottery found in Africa, was found in Mali. Pottery which later spread to the central Sahara and then to Eastern Africa (like Nabta Playa, Khartoum, etc). The wavy-line pottery culture of the Green Sahara is the culture from which Ancient Egyptians come from. This is where, imo, we can see the common origin of African people (in East Africa and the Green Sahara). So after the Green Sahara period, during the dessication of the Sahara, African groups later spread to other part of Africa in search of greener pasture, including West Africa, Oases, along the Nile (meeting and admixing with other people with whom they most of the time already shared a common genetic and linguistic origin somewhere in Eastern Africa and with whom they had continuous relations during the Green Sahara/Wavy-line pottery culture period). It is much later than West African people then spread to other part of Africa through the Bantu migration. So African location like West Africa and Southern Africa and the African Great Lakes were sparsely populated in the Green Sahara and Ancient Egyptian formation time. For example, we know that the greater part of modern South African ancestry was acquired much later than the Ancient Egyptian state formation during the Bantu migration. A Bantu migration which probably started in West Africa around the Nigeria and Cameroon border to, among other way, move toward the Great Lakes then toward Southern Africa. So I don't know if people can see clearly the constant interrelationship between African people. Niger-Kordofanian languages (including Bantu and Yoruba), Nilo Saharan and Khoisan languages, thus people, have their common origin in Eastern Africa. And then they met and admixed again during the Green Sahara period and then again during the Bantu migration which eventually reached the Great Lakes and Southern African regions. So, imo, most of the shared ancestry between modern African people and Ancient Egyptians predates the formation of the Ancient Egyptian state and in fact also predates the evolution of most modern African ethnic groups such Yoruba, Dogon, Wolof, Bantu, Nuer, Dinka, Khoisan, etc.

So this common origin of modern African people, much after the common origin of all humans, as well as subsequent interrelationships and admixtures between those same modern African people is the reason why Africans, including Ancient Egyptians, are relatively genetically close to each others compared to other population on earth. Africans share the same (high) diversity of genes.

So ultimately it doesn't matter, if for example, DNA Tribes find closer match with Great Lakes Africans and Southern Africans than lets say Sahelian Africans or Tropical West Africans. Because most of those groups and African people in general, are relatively genetically close to each others. Something we can see (again) in the genetic distance graphs I posted above.

Again, I question how the results of the DNA findings are being misconstrued into stating that the Egyptians consisted of many ethnic groups or that these groups came from all over the continent. Haplogroups are NOT the same as ethnicities especially since many of these haplogroups predate the very linguistic groups one speaks of. Actual ethnic or cultural group can only be gleaned from archaeology and linguistics, specifically the former when it comes to predynastic times.

It's always good too keep that in mind when discussing haplogroups. At higher resolution you could see for example the F haplogroup further splitting into I, J, R, K haplogroups etc. Same for A, B and E haplogroups.

And again I question the exact split or division between 'African' and 'Out-of-African'. DNA Findings on African popultions in rural parts of the continent now cast doubts onto the simplistic theory that there were populations who just left Africa and diverged with no contact with their relatives who remained in Africa. The fact that there are Y lineages like F* in Sudan, K* in Kenya, T in Ethiopia, and R1* Cameroon shows that this is simply not the case and that there must have been migrations back-and-forth as to have maintained continuity between Africa and Eurasia at least up to a certain point.

^^^^ There's both cultural/historical and genetic unity among African people (including Ancient Egyptians). It's obvious.

You can see it in the DNA Tribes tree and other studies I posted above:

For example, you can see the Alur are relatively genetically close to other Africans while Mozabite are kind of in mid-way between Africans and non-Africans.

Here's another genetic distance tree, using autosomal STR.

I won't post it as an image because it's big, but you can download it there:Neighbor-joining tree from pairwise D2 genetic distances between populations
From The Genetic Structure and History of Africans and African Americans by Tishkoff

The NJ tree is on scale of course. Clearly we can see that African people are very close genetically to each other when you observe autosomal recombinant genes. I explained a bit why HERE in this thread. For example, in this genetic distance tree we can see that the Fulani are much more closer to other African populations than Europeans or Middle Easterners. We can also see the "Great Lakes" Bulala clustering with other African people.

"Any characterization of race of the ancient Egyptians depends on modern cultural definitions, not on scientific study. Thus, by modern American standards it is reasonable to characterize the Egyptians as 'blacks', while acknowledging the scientific evidence for the physical diversity of Africans.” - Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt
 
Posted by Amun-Ra The Ultimate (Member # 20039) on :
 
Let's talk about more on the genetic closeness of African populations, true for other populations too like Europeans, East Asians and Native Americans. And try to explain why.

The great majority of Africans are E-P2(PN2) carriers. This what I call the common origin of most modern African people (somewhere in Eastern Africa). This common origin, obviously postdate (by a lot) the common origin of all humans. And postdate the main OOA migration (PN2s weren't part of the main OOA migration). If you consider that most modern African language phyla are also said to have originated in Eastern Africa, we can postulate that most downstream A and B haplogroups also originate in the same approximate location in Eastern Africa than their modern language family.

This bring me to the second point, to explain why most African populations are relatively genetically close to each other: extensive mixing. Again this extensive mixing, admixture, between various African populations at various point in history is another reason why most African populations are genetically close.

The third point explaining why most African populations are relatively genetically close to each other (in relation to other population) is because of the bottleneck effect when non-African left Africa during the main OOA migration. Reducing their gene diversity (with no extensive admixture with the group that stayed in Africa for many millennium), thus increasing their genetic distance.

So those 3 aspects, 1)Common Origin 2)Extensive Admixture 3)Bottleneck Effect during the main OOA (and the Bering Strait for Native Americans) explain why most African populations are relatively genetically close to each other.

Beyoku made another post at forumbiodiversity where he said he has "learned they are in the process of publishing a new study on 18th Dynasty mtDNA". Hopefully this one doesn't get closed and deleted. And hopefully this study gets published for real this time.

quote:
I have been in personal communication with an individual that published the last few articles with Hawass. This would include the 18th dynasty paper with JAMA as well as the BMJ article detailing Ramesses III's E1b1a lineage.

I have learned they are in the process of publishing a new study on 18th Dynasty mtDNA. This will include Tut's and possibly other members of the 18th dynasty. This was also detailed in the latest book from Zahi Hawass. It could be a total of 4 or 5 lineages depending on who is related to who. The paper may or may not contain Y-chomosome data.

[..]

There was a previous thread but at this point does anyone hypothesize what these lineages could be. Based on their own research, based on the frequency of mtDNA in Egypt and surrounding areas....or whatever reason. For simplicity I will keep a poll very limited.
L= L0-L7.
M= Mostly M1 but includes asian M's if that suits your fancy.
N= Most Eurasian diversity.

I posted there and not here for a specific reason. If I dont post here why copy and paste my post from a different forum on here??? The most active person right now on this board (Lioness) is actually a TROLL....all yall "active users" should pretty much be ashamed.

Everyone on this board has access to the same material and the "same internet" and we post probably 20-30 articles for every new article that is posted here. This board is for the most part inactive....or active by the same members posting the same quotes over and over without the new analysis which includes updated information and data.

Everyday its just rehashing old stuff and beating a dead horse. Egyptsearch users are like anchors and this site is like a shoe. Its no moving anywhere. Even when you jack the post and put it here you dont even answer the question and contribute your hypothesis to the board?! Anyone could have contacted that researcher the same way we did. Nobody on the site has the will.

I dont own the internet....but If I choose not to post here I ask that you please respect my wishes. If folks want to to see that thread and are looking for a forum with more activity and moderation maybe they should join that one?

Maybe Egyptsearch should collectively get together and update Wikipedia articles on Egyptology, African studies and DNA? Collection of known fact seems to be the current forte of the site. Maybe this is something we can ALL contribute to?

Otherwise this site is DEAD. It is decomposing and the only thing we see now is maggots, ants and beetles scavenging off its corpse.

BTW Dont get mad.

L....all yall "active users" should pretty much be ashamed.
Sure "lioness" is trolling to build up post counts
and maintain forum traffic, but several old time
veterans who complain about trolls, are themselves
replying to some of her posts.


posting the same quotes over and over without the new analysis which includes updated information and data.

Agreed that the forum has gone downhill and how
over-weighted towards nonsense threads, albino "mutants"
and troll accounts "replying" to themselves. Such
has always been around from the early days of ES.
And in reputed glory days, and even recently, there were
the harsh, nasty, ugly, flame wars between old
line established members, who could have better
spent energy elsewhere.

But actually there is still a fair amount of new material
posted here- from DNA tribes, to xyzman's roundup of
new studies, to my own postings on mimicry re Neanderthal DNA,
the long history of decrue or floodplain agriculture in Africa,
to the new info TrollPatrol posts here ever so often.
Even alTakuri/Tukler is on here replying to "lioness"
with valid detail, and she herself" occasionally
posts items of interest.
The VOLUME of old users is not here as in the past
and don't post as often, including myself. But that
doesn't mean new info is not appearing here from
time to time.


Its no moving anywhere. Even when you [AmunRa] jack the post and put it here you dont even answer the question and contribute your hypothesis to the board?! Anyone could have contacted that researcher the same way we did. Nobody on the site has the will.

I would have liked to see value added to the material
jacked over. Copying such material is not a bad thing
in itself. Bloggers do it all the time, though with
attribution.

Also agreed its not moving anywhere, but then again, the
more pristine Nilevalley-php, died its own death too.
On there, only "serious" people posted. OK, well
where are they all now? There was much lament that
you cant get people to post on "serious" topics,
but ironically, even the several "serious" people
who had the numbers to keep it going, abandoned it.
They themselves pulled out.

Furthermore there is a definite place for rehash
and repeat. In fact it is a significant slice of
of getting a more balanced picture of African bio-history- for 5 reasons:

1--the information is not as widely spread as it should
be to the common man. It is all well and good to
do the ivory tower thing, but on the street, too often,
people have not moved beyond George James circa 1957,
or Count Volney 1700 something, or Herodotus,, etc
or have as their only reference, the sometimes skewed
National Geographic. There is a crying need for clear
exposition and concise summarization. If anything,
there needs to be MORE repetition, and more ground
level distribution of the data in terms the layman
can understand.

2--This is even more imperative considering the deep
networks of "HBD" and "biodiversity" types on the
web distorting and falsifying the bio-history of Africa
and Africans. Bass for years maintained a lonely
outpost on Anthroscape confronting such people. They
have been forced to concede several points, and
their bogus claims of past years are now more muted
but fundamentally they have not changed- and are
busily distorting new studies to fit their old agendas.
The only ay to counter their continual propaganda
stream is to expand the base of data and keep
recapping and repeating.

3- And repetition actually yields even more dividends.
On the web, people like Morpheus, Djehuti, Bass, Slugger
and others under various pseudonyms, have been
rehashing and repeating extensively in forum after
forum, and have contributed mightily to spreading
data that would have remained buried in obscurity
in "serious" forums only frequented by "serious" people.

4- Recap and Repetition has a quite salutary effect, in
that new users can be exposed to up to date material,
and get educated more quickly. This is exactly what
is happening around the web, Which is why you find
the data now not only well represented in Google,
but appearing on sites from Nigeria to Thailand.


5- Finally the base of information on hand is not
static, and never was. It is continualy being expanded
and revised. The new DNATribes info for example
is now part of the landscape. If things were "static"
this would never have been the case. In fact new info
is being brought to light monthly. Who says nothing
is updated, as new data is assimilated by users?


Maybe Egyptsearch should collectively get together and update Wikipedia articles on Egyptology, African studies and DNA? Collection of known fact seems to be the current forte of the site. Maybe this is something we can ALL contribute to?

^^In a perfect world such a scenario would be nice.
The reality is that Wikipedia is heavily infested
with people who do not want a more balanced picture
of African bio-history, and who, with Admin collaboration,
either inadvertently or by design, work continuously to
actively remove or distort the scholarship in
the field. Where are all the "serious" people when
a well documented good faith edit is sandbagged and blocked?
Too often, nowhere to be found. That being said it
is always good to foster more collaboration among users.

A very viable option is to create an alternative
network to Wikipedia. This now substantially exists-
there is a full database accurately cited for the
most part. A web of sites- Egyptsearch, Reloaded,
several independent blogs, Facebook pages, Youtube
videos, plus the occasional hard-hitting forays in
various web forums by Morpheus, Slugger, Djehuti etc.
Taken together, this package offers much better coverage
than Wikipedia, with excellent representation in
Google, and info that is often MORE accurate and
up to date. The information now being distorted or
edited out on Wiki gets full representation. It is also
mirrored several places, unable to be destroyed.
So Wikipedia is nothing special to be rushing to.
It plays a part, and of course, people from here,
do use it and contribute to it- but it is nothing
special anymore.


Otherwise this site is DEAD. It is decomposing and the only thing we see now is maggots, ants and beetles scavenging off its corpse.

Sure in part, which is why I myself am not on here as much
as in the old days, for the volume of info and quality
users has decreased. But it still has a role to play
as noted above, as part of an open source network
that end-runs Wikipedia and assorted "biodiversity" distorters.

Nothing wrong with copying and pasting stuff over-
it has been done here for years by ES old hands.
The Bass used to copy stuff over from Anthroscape
and solicit comments for example, as has Truthcentric,
as has Morpheus et al from elsewhere. You gave attribution-
which is good enough. Its really not that big a deal.

OK, so now based on the limitations of DNATribes low
resolution approach, how would you modify your initial comments?
Would you qualify it to say- "the following relationships
exist based on DNATribes level of resolution" - something
along those lines? Or something different? Or no modification?

There's no need to qualify the DNA Tribes results in a special manner. The DNA Tribes results already got their own qualification: statistical numbers to tell us how strong or not the results are. We use the science of statistics to qualify such things. For example, they tell us statistically that King Tut's DNA profile can be seen 1300 times more in the Great Lakes regions than in all the genetic regions of the world. So we can compare each genetic regions MLI proportion and qualify the results with real statistical number not just hot air. With more STR those numbers would most probably be even higher, it's just basic mathematics and probability (the MLI is basically a product of proportion for each STR alleles, when you add one above zero, it increases in the number-the MLI). So if there was more STR alleles used, the number would be even higher.

@ Egyptsearch - DNA Tribes is not "New" information anymore.

@ Lioness - You are not even smart enough to differentiate "Anthroscape" and "forumbiodiversity". Two totally different boards with totally different admins that dont even intersect.

Pay attention the the last time I have posted at ABF, it was nearly a year ago...same time I gave up on E.S. I created this latest thread cause I am confident the data will be a further thorn in the side of select posters, as well as to recruit the remaining hold-out members into Facebook group. If our group has a number of people that correspond with those in the field....as well as the presence of person(s) that publish it will offer more that what we find at ES and ABF. Also I think it will be interesting to see what some new members have to offer in terms of Africana knowledge....so far not much.

@zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova
ES is no longer productive on that outsiders can come here and get pertinent information. If you are new....you will learn ZERO. Case and point still nobody has commented on the question I asked in the post...LOL. When the results hit THEN everyone is going to work backwards and stuff their ideas into the boxes like they knew it all along...I know how this works.

@ Egyptsearch board - IN reference to Wikipedia I am not speaking on subjective matters that are open to interpretation. I am speaking of updating pages such as the "Nubia" page on Wikipedia. Or the E1b1a and Haplogroup B pages to include raw data and the latest facts. You cannot argue about the inclusion or exclusion of current information. Look how pitiful the A-Group page is:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nubian_A-Group

Laughably pitiful. ON the A-Group page the word "Egypt" is listed 7 times. The word "Sudan" is NOT EVEN PRESENT ON PAGE! [Frown]

Updating Wiki articles is something I promised not to do years ago. I may reverse that decision as the data present is dated and inaccurate. Collectively (Minus Lioness) is there anyone that would be willing to contribute time to edit articles? If so which ones. My suggestion is we start at Hap A and work down the alphabet. One page per month. One designated Editor. Anyone interested? Anyone interested in being the editor? If a number of people are interested we can create a thread on it.

My apologies I sometimes get these two websites confused.


beyoku's member name is "four" on anthroscape
with the cute elephant avatar
and Charlie Bass is "Game Theory"

anthroscape is a Human Biodiversity forum owned by a white supremacist named "Racial Reality" and moderated by Greek fascist "Crimson Guard"


-not to be confused with Forum Biodiversity which is a different site

lol, true in part. But I still think outsiders can come to ES and
get great info. They just have to come via a Google search- on a
specific topic which will jump into lesser active pages with real content
not by going direct to the front page- which will typically be dominated
by "albino mutants" and such as to the most recent topics.
ES also has clear value as an initial content holder.

Fair enough. But even on pages that supposedly deal with straight fact,
the moles are distorting and removing. Your example
of the A-Group is also typical. Why would any credible editor
leave out something so basic? They operate via distortion and stealth-
making subtle but misleading changes, misrepresenting sources,
even posting bogus citations. Another tactic is to "guard" or "protect"
deliberately weak pages, including creation of bogus "vandalism" edits
to provide cover. Once exposed they resort to ruthless sandbagging
and edit warring. Why invest heavily in such a forum,
pretending to objectivity, but laced with deception?

I have been burned before on this, but if you get 6-7
people to sign up, I will consider it. I would recommend though
that the collaborators do their coordination via email- out of
public view, so the enemies of African bio-history do not
get a head start on their distortion tactics. Would also say
that any members must be fighters, for their work will
be removed time and time again. But is it worth it?

The problem with investing so much effort in Wikipedia is
that all your work can be destroyed in a matter of seconds,'
then you have to spend even more hours battling moles and their admin
collaborators. About 10-15% of the quotes on the big text database
I typed by hand. The rest copy and paste from what others have
brought forward. It would be a pity if this collective, joint effort is
focused on a forum where it can be destroyed or blockaded indefinitely.
A much better, broader based option is to build up and fine-
tune the alternative network that is now substantially in place.
Such a network is redundant and the disappearance of one
node means little as the info can be re-generated elsewhere.
That network is:

1) ES- content dump. Once info is posted, it is available world wide to be mirrored elsewhere. Everybody wins. Lioness gets her post counts and traffic to sell stuff, and get paid. We get a content holding area.

2) Individual blogs, or fully owned Individual websites: Owners have full control over content and admin.

3) Web discussion forums: Owned by others but serve as outlets for debate and discussion- distributing content widely

4) Hosted forums- anyone can create a forum on many free hosted sites- like Reloaded. These also can be used as redundant content holders, but also carry much new information. Facebook can be an example of a hosted forum as well.

5) Picture galleries & youtube video - furnish the images and video needed- can beo n hosted forums or personal sites.

--------------------------------- -------------------------------------

With the 5 types of nodes above, African information and education can prosper.
ADVANTAGES:

--No central headquarters is needed just more collaboration.

--Individual bloggers or forum owners can do their own thing (errors will be exposed by others)

--Content cannot be "made to disappear"

--Your labor is your own- your investment will not vanish at the hands of some other

--Favorite "watering holes" and "clearing houses" will increasingly develop for debate and discussion. These will be run by people able to look at the big picture, spot growing trends, able to keep on top of new data, able to provide resource links. able to work out formulas to bring contending parties together. These places will develop naturally- people will gravitate towards them. They could be an individual blog, or a forum.

--A stable self-generating network means that education is enhanced. There is a crying need for updating in the African community. Too often on Black History Month, cats are still stuck on George James 1957, Van Sertima 1976, Ben-Jochanan 1972, etc etc. Pioneers in some ways, but the research has moved on.

An outline of this network is basically in place. It can certainly be intensified many times over and that would make it more useful. Wikipedia would just be one more stop in the web- nothing special. Useful for quick reference, added to and corrected certainly ( with corrections often removed by stealth), but it would not be a focus.

The network can be intensified now by members (individual blogs, forums, Facebook, etc linking to the sites of each other), then making the rounds of the member sites to comment, post material and discuss. "Clearing house" sites (or site) that have proven their worth naturally will generate more traffic on the network, but it will function quite nicely as all nodes contribute. In short-- an independent, more up to date, more accurate alternative to Wikipedia, much more under creator's individual authorship and control, while still allowing for broad expansion of knowledge.

@Egyptsearch Board
I would argue to the ES board- do not invest
heavily in Wikipedia. Use it, make corrections,
but spent the bulk of time building up a better
alternative network.


--Start saving as much good ES stuff as possible on your hard drive
--Start your own personal blog or forum or Facebook
--Harvest as much info as you can and put it on your personal site or blogs (naturally much will be of what interests you)
--Put links to other network members on your blog or site or forum
--Continue dumping as much content as possible on ES so that the content is locked in online, but.. (see below)
--Summarize and provide context if possible to go with the info dump.
--Harvest as much visual material as possible and plug it in galleries and sites

--Harvest info from multiple sources like Google books. This may involve some hand-typing
--If you are working together to edit Wiki, communicate in private

-- Link up with other Africana forums like Destee.com

a more extensive level of summarization and exposition
for the layman, but will expand the reach of the data beneficially

 
Posted by Amun-Ra The Ultimate (Member # 20039) on :
 
I don't have the same perspective on this than many people on this site.

For one, my main interest in relation to history, is African History. Ancient Egypt is a great civilization, very advanced, before its time, with the advantage of having written records but just one of the many civilizations of Africa. Most books related to history I have at home are books about the African history and "modern" culture of other Kingdoms and peoples of Africa. Most books I read currently are about other African people and kingdoms as well.

I know it may be hard to believe considering my posts on this forum, but if you look into it you will see it. I'm not here to claim AE as an African state if it isn't.

On a personal level I don't want to tell myself AE is African in every sense, if it's not the case. I like to study African history and culture by itself (including their relation with outsiders) not falsely claim AE to be African for no reason if it's not the case. It would be a bad analysis of African history because it would include stuff that are not African in any significant way. Something I don't want to do.

In the past I read some books about AE being African such as Diop, Obenga, Williams and many others. But I wasn't totally convinced. My interest was always toward African history not AE history only. It's really the ancient DNA of Ancient Egyptian mummies which convinced me this theory may really be valid while of course more analysis are warranted.

I waited for aDNA because while analysis in the archaeological fields and other fields such as cultural, history, linguistic points to AE being an indigenous African state. Taken individually, none of those analysis provide enough discriminative power. Together maybe.

For example, here this recent research makes it clear AE was an indigenous African process:
Body Size, Skeletal Biomechanics, Mobility and Habitual Activity from the Late Palaeolithic to the Mid-Dynastic Nile Valley. Got it from here: (www.) pave.bioanth.cam.ac.uk/pdfs/033-Stock(2011HBTA)NileBiomechSize.pdf (you need to add the www. to the address, the forum doesn't allow me to post the full address)


Still, I don't want to claim AE to be African (in every sense) if it's not the case. I also don't want people to claim AE is not African if it's the case either. Combined together, instead of individually, all those non-genetic analysis make the African origin of AE stronger but still. Ancient DNA Genetic on the other hand, provide enough discriminative power by itself. For example, if AE aDNA are mostly from the Y-DNA A, B and E haplogroups and mtDNA L haplogroups they are African nobody can seriously deny it. Autosomally, it's also usually easy to analyse. On the other hand, if Ancient Egyptians are not mostly from the African Y-DNA A, B and E and MtDNA L haplogroups then they are not African. Thus genetics provide discriminative power by itself.

At the moment, I just have a very hard time to dismiss the aDNA results. I don't want to "fake" the Africanity of AE in any way (like playing with semantics and stupidity like that) but how can I dismiss ancient DNA? Swenet, Tukuler and Beyoku made some critics of it, but I truly don't think it's good critics, I already explained why. Added to the analysis of other fields and it thus seems Ancient Egyptians were truly in every way an African civilizations among many.

It's because of the ancient DNA results that I joined this forum. But my interest is in African history and culture in general.

So I won't go on a crusade to prove Ancient Egyptians are Africans. I do like to point out the current knowledge about it with an accent on analysis that prove its indigenous character which were of course wrongly dismissed without science or proof by colonial historians for political, propaganda and racist purpose. I'm just following the issue and spreading knowledge about what we know. Still most of my interests in history is about African history in general not just Ancient Egypt. I must say that I also like to read about Ancient Greece and other civilizations too (I don't have the time to analyze them deeply but I read and watch movies/tv shows about them with great interests and fun and many people took the time to analyze them deeply).

Amazon.com is very good for books about African history. Even about specific ethnic groups and kingdoms (which usually have much more depth than a book about African history in general like "The History of Africa").

This site is also very good and is easier to browse if you don't know what you're looking for and want to be inspired.

@ Egypsearch and Amun Ra - I see a lot of talkers and no Doers. A lot takers and no givers. You copied the link from the different forum but have added ZERO value to the discussion by actually answering the question that was asked in the text you copied.

@zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova and ES Board.
I dont know what type of edits you were making (If you could elaborate) but your current idea is very self defeatist. If you think that we will have that much trouble and opposition simply UPDATING a page with current info then they have already won. Possibly the "Fighters" you are speaking of belong to a group that you may not belong to.

Furthermore, there is no need at this point to create Egyptsearch alternatives. We have been there and done that. The most successful one there is - The troll proof Facebook group.....is a group you declined an invite to I believe.

The whole point in discussing the Edits HERE and out in the open is to create some clear transparency void of all the B.S. I want a person ("opposition" or not)looking at our Edits or prospective edits to see exactly WHY they are being made. The A-Group Nubian article exist the way it is because nobody has decided to update it............and when someone DID decide to update it they did not go to published articles but rather cut and pasted some data directly from an OLD website....one that has been use so much it is considered "Spam" and added to some type of Black list. The Hap A, B and E1b1a pages, as well as the mtDNA L pages exist as they do because the "opposition" that exist feel like they have no stake in those pages. OTOH look at the E1b1b page. Over the years I followed the E1b1b comments/talk/edits. You have people that work hard arguing with "Euroclowns" about E1b1b but dont take the time out to edit the other Haplogroup E pages.....pages that may be more pertinent to us and OUR ancestry. And then they add no value to the E1b1b page because they dont update it with KNOWN newer information.

Also, obviously if there are only 6 or 7 people that really post here you pretty much pre-exempt yourself if you request I gather 6 or 7 members before you even CONSIDER to contribute. You pretty much excluded yourself in classic ES fashion.

You're still on about that? You're such a cry-baby too. Just like Swenet.

I didn't plan to answer your question or add any value to your post. I just wanted people to know about you claiming yet another upcoming study about Ancient Egyptian mtDNA. I can add something (again): I hope it is true and actually gets published this time around.

**** dude...in order words you are looking to become mindlessly spoonfed and of all the facts you have gathered you cannot use them to synthesize some constructive comments PRIOR to the release of the information....LOL

Menwhile when they results drop as A1a/L1c1 or something you are going to come out of the woodwork stating exactly why it makes sense and its what you expected all along...LOL
 -

What exactly is Egyptsearch FOR if nobody can comment on incoming information? All the snippets and quotes people suggest to save to your computers are things that should be known off the top of your heads. [Confused] .

So I take it you will not be editing wikipedia then.
So, so far we have Lioness.

You're such cry-baby. Do you want me to hand over to you some kleenex because I didn't answer your question? I hope the study is true this time and actually gets published.

Do you have any time frame for its publication or is it like the other upcoming study and you don't know and may actually never be published?

No, it does seem pretty realistic, I must admit. Even if I just shared some doubt about their authenticity. There's always some minimal admixture between regions close to each others. We can note the MtDNA of those individuals is the African L haplogroup. Autosomally even those individuals probably lean toward Africans.

I must say the breakdown of the Old Kingdom and Middle Kingdom haplogroups layed down by beyoku looks very realistic. I have hard time believing he made that up himself not because of the character but because I don't see any agenda or fun part or something like that in them. It seems to be made up mostly of various African haplogroups and lineages with some West Asian haplogroups (accompanied by the African L mtDNA). If he did made that up, it's a pretty clever distribution of haplogroups in that sense.

Defeatist- not at all. More like realistic as to where I invest huge amounts of time and energy. If you think it all boils down to "type of edits"
you are rather naive.

Furthermore, there is no need at this point to create Egyptsearch alternatives. We have been there and done that. The most successful one there is - The troll proof Facebook group.....is a group you declined an invite to I believe.

What I said actually, is that an alternative network
to WIKIPEDIA is already now substantially in place,
as outlined above and it can be widened and deepened
with more collaboration. I never said anything about
creating Egyptsearch alternatives. The alternatives
are already in place.
.
As to the Facebook page- I didn't "decline" an invite,
I never received one.


The whole point in discussing the Edits HERE and out in the open is to create some clear transparency void of all the B.S. I want a person ("opposition" or not)looking at our Edits or prospective edits to see exactly WHY they are being made. The A-Group Nubian article exist the way it is because nobody has decided to update it.

Here again you show your naivete. Discussing such
Wiki edits out in the open simply allows assorted
Wiki moles plenty of advance notice to sandbag
and blockade your work when you finally do update
the Wiki pages. And A-Group Nubia is not much
of a test case, as far as Egyptology articles go.
They are not much concerned about things like A-Group
per se. Its when you touch the core Egyptology articles,
or the Archaeogenetics ones bearing on Egypt, or
the PreDynastic (including links with Nubia, the Sahara, and further south), that the real test comes.


The Hap A, B and E1b1a pages, as well as the mtDNA L pages exist as they do because the "opposition" that exist feel like they have no stake in those pages.

You prove my point. Said "opposition" doesn't feel
much stake in what they view as peripheral- like the A-group. You aren't really touching the bulk
of Egyptology. They are more than happy to have
you on the margins with A-Group. And more than happy
to have you on E1b1a.


Over the years I followed the E1b1b comments/talk/edits. You have people that work hard arguing with "Euroclowns" about E1b1b but dont take the time out to edit the other Haplogroup E pages.....pages that may be more pertinent to us and OUR ancestry. And then they add no value to the E1b1b page because they dont update it with KNOWN newer information.

OK, but why should "OUR" people "gravitate" to the
E1b1a pages? Both are African halogroups. Both deserve
just as much attention. And the fact that E1b1b is
not being updatred is that they want a weak article
that leaves certain things in place.


Also, obviously if there are only 6 or 7 people that really post here you pretty much pre-exempt yourself if you request I gather 6 or 7 members before you even CONSIDER to contribute. You pretty much excluded yourself in classic ES fashion.

Wasn't talking about 6-7 people from only ES. But
on your pristine Facebook page you should have
no problem rounding up that number, eh? And based
on what you say above- seems you yourself are engaged in
"defeatism." The fact that you "gravitate" towards
certain articles like A-Group Nubia and E1b1a, supposedly
more "in touch" with "OUR" ancestry seem like you
don't want to face the heavy lifting required to
do updates outside these areas. Seems like you too
have exempted yourself.
 
Posted by beyoku (Member # 14524) on :
 
Come one dude. How am I exempting myself if I brought up the idea in the first place and noted my opposition to wikipedia in the past? I wouldnt have brought the idea to the board....if I wasnt on board. [Roll Eyes] Dont project since I called you on it. I spoke of the need for change and agreed to actually Make edits. You bowed out noticing your past difficulties and when pried for information still kept it vague on WHICH articles you were trying to edit. What was your editor tag? I will take a look a the talk pages, they are archived. As for the Facebook page I specifically remember you declining based on the fact that the page was closed off. The thread is gone now but I do remember it being the case....I could be wrong

I picked those specific pages because they are in DIRE need of updating as opposed to the Egypt pages. Also whether you think about it or not SUDAN and Nubia are more integral to the pre-history and population of Egypt than even "Egypt" is because that is where the humans migrated from. Furthermore Egypt is not the end all be all in Africa's history.

The Need for E1b1a edits is also there. I am an E1b1a carrier myself (U175*) along with the majority of new world people of African descent. I recognize the lack of data when researching my own lineage. The STR diversity and the SNP diversity indicates the lineage is very old, older than E1b1b and not well described, studied or sample as compared to E1b1b. There are still abstracts from Cruciani regarding E1b1a that have not been released in over 5 years regarding E1b1a diversity. In any case I suggested just starting with Hap A and working my way down. If you cannot understand why E1b1a is more important than E1b1b when "WE" are researching our own ancestry then I cannot help you.

Also if and when you take a genetic test....and your results are E1b1a and some random L lineage watch how fast you hit a brick wall when researching your lineages. The situation is even worse for those that have no history in African research....dont know where to start and are given some vague cookie cutter explanation for their lineages that 90% of the time involves "Slaves" and "Bantu".

@ AMunRa:

Well I would not be too hard on Beyoku. The big picture is that we are all after the same thing- a more balanced, in-depth picture of African bio-history- all of it, Cape to Cairo, Marrakesh to Arusha, Horn to Namibia. What dampened the old Nilevalley Board some critics say is that it too often seemed cliquish- a select group "in the know" - talking mostly amongst themselves, in an isolated forum, and whomever was not "in the know" could go fend for themselves.

I don't buy that critique 100%. There will always be people with more knowledge who will talk it up at a more advanced level. Nothing wrong with that. But the knowledge needs to be expanded across a wide area.

I agree with you on Africa being the focus and have argued here and elsewhere that Egypt is no central quarters of civilization in Africa. Egypt is simple ONE CHILD of Africa- a spectacular one, but one among many. The starting point is always Africa- it is from Africa itself that people, the culture, the religion etc flowed into the Nile Valley, and also to other parts of the continent. This is a grassroots model- no central hegemon is needed. It is always Egypt, IN Africa.

As regards aDNA it is another line of evidence that must be weight against other data. I was convinced by the NON-DNA data, which as more comes to the scene, only adds icing to the cake. Naturally we should keep in mind that DNA data can be, and is being manipulated in academia to fulfill their own agendas. The more people that see it, the better the base for making judgments, exploring, evaluating, etc.

I would say you are on the right track. Keep on harvesting as much info as you can and bring it out of these other forums to ES. Who wants to comment can comment, or not. Sammy gets his post traffic so he wins as well. And the info posted is locked in online worldwide- and can't be "edited out," blockaded, or confined to a closed forum. This is a true, open source idea. Other venues can pick it up and run with it as they please. Keep on harvesting and accruing data, and adding to the general pool and database of knowledge. Link or cross post what you find on your own personal blog/forum and other venues. The more, the merrier.

Possibly the "Fighters" you are speaking of belong to a group that you may not belong to.


Hey Beyoku! In Zarahan's defense, he has a point. I've spent hours and hours making tireless contributions to certain Egypt-themed wiki pages myself and it simply comes down to numbers. It isn't any one group, it is a general mentality coupled with a culturally-mediated (culture of wikipedia/mainstream society) aversion to things deemed "Afrocentric." I wouldn't call what he points out as self-defeatist more than it is realistic and an excellent summary of what goes on there. Look me up! I'm User:Taharqa on there. I was heavily involved with many of those articles consistently over the span of a few to several years, especially the "Ancient Egypt and Race" article. It will wear on you and unless you have an incredible amount of time on your hands, it almost isn't worth it in my opinion. But much power to you!

Oh Yeah, I remember 'Taharqa.' I was on, actively trying
to improve articles at a somewhat later timeframe than you.
Yeah I remember coming along after you, and seeing
how they cynically sandbagged and blockaded you,
how they got the Admins to collaborate, how they
operated in packs, how they tried to exhaust you
with countless "appeals" and "admin processes." Reading the archives,
often it was only you versus 4-5-6 dishonorable, deceptive people
doing all in their power to block straight factual edits.
Ran into the same problems myself and when I started
going though the histories I saw the hit job they
were doing on you. Saw the bogus "friendly" types
pretend to "befriend" you so as to get advance notice
of what you were thinking- hence making the blockade job easier.
They also deleted your comments and explanations on the
so-called "Page Discussison" section, so that people
could not see their unsavory actics. I even tried to post
some messages on your Talk Page only to have the racialist
slugs delete it. I finally wised up and stopped being naive
about "good faith."

But for all that they have failed miserably, for if they had let those
legit edits stay, they would have remained obscure items
of info, buried on obscure pages. But now the scholarship
they sought to suppress is available in quality
and quantity worldwide with excellent representation
on Google. Wikipedia ain't nothing now on these topics-
filled with bogus claims, doctored references and
plain inaccuracies that continually undermine its credibility.
Those who patted themselves on the back as "victorious"
only succeeded in creating a monster- now a relentless
engine with a powerful database, generating more
accurate content, in a viable alternative network,
or series of networks, now including Facebook. Who needs
the Wikipedia pages they are "guarding" anymore?

Illustration- Google A-Group Nubia. The weak Wiki page
comes up early as expected, but much more credible sources,
filled with detailed content appear as high up in the
rankings, including several credible scholarly references-
Univ of Chicago, British Museum, Academic papers n academia.edu,
a Thesis from Univ of Wisconsin and so on- all within the top ten,
and even some independent websites within that top ten.
Again, who needs the dubious Wiki page when these much more substantative
sources are on tap? Vary the search wording slightly and Egyptsearch comes up
along with Myra Wysinger's excellent site, even
Reloaded further down. All those "page guard dogs"
on Wiki are wasting their time if they think they
can keep out credible, legit scholarship.
So why some people rush to Wiki to give it substantial labor and energy?
Now I am not saying don't make corrections and edits etc. Somebody has to do something,
but this illustration just shows how utterly the laughable "protectionists" have failed.

In addition textbooks are already giving students in school
a more accurate picture like the intro text for college students below:
"Ancient Egypt belongs to a language
group known as 'Afroasiatic' (formerly
called Hamito-Semitic) and its closest
relatives are other north-east African
languages from Somalia to Chad. Egypt's
cultural features, both material and
ideological and particularly in the earliest
phases, show clear connections with that
same broad area. In sum, ancient Egypt
was an African culture, developed by
African peoples, who had wide ranging
contacts in north Africa and western
Asia."

--Morkot, Robert (2005) The Egyptians: An Introduction. p. 10)

^All their bogus Wikipedia troll/mole tactics aren't preventing
students from getting the info, and it is now in
the database, with easy access- out in the open..


Furthermore the alternative content engine means
a steady stream of newbies "disrupting" the shaky
"guarded" pages- creating an endless workload of
"watchlists" and "stealth" edits. Go ahead. Feel
like you doing something important, "guarding" and
"protecting" your laughably weak pages. Meanwhile
real, more accurate content is being generated elsewhere.


Here's an idea. Follow in my boy's footsteps and create a website like this (or start contributing more to this one):

http://www.worldafropedia.com/afropedia/Main_Page


Good reference. I'll check it out. Looks like it
has the potential to be yet another independent, alternative,
content generating hub. Only question is, looks like
anybody can edit it, meaning content can be easily
distorted or removed, which could mean a repeat of the
negative "mole" tactics above.

But anyway, there are some who think such hubs need massive
numbers of hits to be "somebody" on the web. But this
is not the case at all. The power is not in any one
site, but in the network. 10 hits per day on 20 sites,
in total, is a lot more than assorted individual Wikipedia pages
are getting on these SPECIFIC topics. Wiki's E1b1b
page for example is averaging 55 or so hits per day.
A small 12 hub multi-spoke network, with pages on this specific topic
that gets a mere 10 hits per hub per day, would be
more than double the Wiki stats. Who needs big daily
numbers to a single site to "be somebody"?

Sundjata I think maybe also you should start a more open
Facebook group, or point to one. For example there is an E1b1b
Facebook group- open access viewable - that comes up fairly
quickly in Google. The enemies of accurate African bio-history
already have a few "distortion" pages in operation. Perhaps people
counter-attack in similar fashion? Facebook gives another hub alternative-
with the best o both worlds- access to Facebook's more
closed network, but with open access (at least viewable) so it
appears in Google. Again, with such alternative frameworks
in place and developing, (and they can be cross-linked and
expanded with more collaboration) an independent, MORE ACCURATE
Africana-Infosphere will continue taking shape- growing in power and influence,
and without fearing assorted protectionists or needing any badges of
approval from their ilk. Keep on expanding the base in whatever fashion..

you answer that off the top of your head, and
why such data is important? What is the proportion

I agree with the argument that editing Wikipedia is a tiresome exercise in futility. That said, I am ambivalent over whether creating an alternate webpage is the answer. Sure, providing the public with accurate information is our duty. On the other hand, as long as "Afrocentrism" is viewed as a fringe ideology, any website that could be construed as endorsing it will be dismissed out of hand.

I would advocate infiltrating mainstream academia if we want to bring about real change. I don't mean Black Studies or anything stereotypically associated with Afro-Diasporan culture, I mean mainstream anthropology or history circles that won't be written off as "Afrocentric". That's the reason I majored in Bio-Anthropology at UCSD in the first place.

A couple of days ago I submitted a paper on Egypt's African origins to an undergraduate history journal run by the University of Peninsula. Haven't heard back from them yet, but I'm hoping that if they do consider it, I'd have taken a small step in advancing our cause.

I wouldn't say it's an exercise in futility. You just need to be patient and have multiple reliable sources with enough notability (for weight). You have to make reliable and notable sources your best friends. Then, armed with those reliable and notable sources, it's just about being bold in general and patient with the conflict resolution if there is.

Frankly I'm not sure what people on this forum want to include (or remove) in the wikipedia Ancient Egyptian page for example? That's actually a good question.

Afrocentrism is a fringe ideology. It's completely reactionary to the alleged eurocentrism and racism prevalent before which is evident in many things written before the 60s and often beyond too up to now.

That's definitely great. The idea is not to prove afrocentrics right or wrong but researching and spreading the truth. Both for the outside world and ourselves.

Nicely done.

Also, african universities and academics should do more research. The main problem is always the problem of funding but it should be one of the priority. It doesn't require that much money for many works and research in history, linguistics and archaeology. Many research undertaking in Africa are done in collaboration with local university and American/European ones. Which is a good thing imo.

@Elite Diasporan, We discovered a Potential Nile Valley descendant, with a curious autosomal profile potentially bridging east Africans with Earlier Near Eastern populations belonging to L2a1.

It's been recently confirmed E-M2 has an ancient history in Egypt, signified by basal haplogroups and unique clades. A-M13 as well as L3 is a no brainer for Nile valley expansion from Sudan, and the aforementioned study puts a rough timeline on the paternal dispersal....

I don’t know if this data will ever be published.

I don’t know how complete this stuff even is.

There is older abstracts that have sat for ages without being revealed. Look how old the publication on the Two brothers is. Look how old the Dakhlah Oasis data that just got a singleton mtdna result publishes. Look at the king tut Book that said his mtdna would be published. Even had correspondence with an author that said it would be published “By the end of the year”....that was like 3-4 years ago. Look at Spencer Wells who collected data from the Tibbou in Chad in the late 90’s.....just got recently published last year or so. I could go on but the idea of folk sitting on data ain’t new.

The data as it is....follows no known narrative I would have been trying to push or anything that ES has been trying to push. It’s totally out of wack IMO......similar to Natufian, PPNB and Bronze age Levantine ancient Y-DNA.

The only thing I can do is sit back and evaluate it with other data as it’s released. I gave a long “interview” with 42Tribes and went into the background of the data. It’s on YouTube.

You guys seriously think beyoku of all people would pull an Ausar? While I do not know HOW he obtained these lineages, what I DO KNOW is that people of the mainstream HAVE been holding out on data and have been sitting on mountains of data for YEARS.

I remember I posted that Letter from Cairo about King Ramses II and a certain poster here came at me hard not believing me. But the Letter was from a Egyptian govt site but it was said to have been removed. Things like this...

You can't be serious
Unlike the Abusir-el Meleq the mtDNA the above is dominated heavily by L groups
And of YDNA Dominated heavily by E groups and secondarily A, B

I doubt he's gonna say anything. He would've said more if he could by now. Now about the link..Looks like it was redirected to another thread or something...

You can't be serious
Unlike the Abusir-el Meleq the mtDNA the above is dominated heavily by L groups
And of YDNA Dominated heavily by E groups and secondarily A, B

What were the circumstances of you seeing this without naming names?

Normally I wouldnt answer you but.....
They were mostly African lineages...This is true and very good criticism. Didnt think of it this way. I guess myself or ES WOULD push a mostly African narrative for AE......a concept so simple I didnt even consider it. I didnt consider it because I never analyzed the group of lineages from a Eurocentric point of view. With that said.....from the African point of view, the combination of lineages dont tell any story that we have tried to push in the past. The trail of people leading back to the data dont even know what they were looking at and if they did they are not familiar with ES....nor familiar with My web presence.

I personally dont think I have been "Duped" because they would have to know me to dupe me. Notice how the data doesn't really lead down any specific bio-historical path. IMO They would have to be somewhat of a Psychological operations genius with a knowledge of African Genetics that left people running in circles for years. I am NOT THAT right NOW....let alone years ago when a birdie dropped the message.

This data points to a specific bio-historical origin, that the ancient Egyptians were primarily African in both their paternal and maternal genetic ancestry.

Even the R-M173 L2,
even this Hg, particularly if analyzed prior to 2010 might today be identified as V88, at high frequency in modern Egyptian Siwas

please see if you can answer any of these questions ...

1) what is the date of the data itself? when were the samples analyzed 2013, 2012 ?

2) you say a trail of people. How long was the trial? How many people were there between you and primary research?

3) how did you find out that these remains were being analyzed?

4) have you approached the source in any way and asked if they ever intend to release the data or recommend they release this data? (maybe even someone else could support that financially

5) I read a comment that said this research was conducted in Egypt, true?


6) if you think the the source of this is purposely suppressing the data have you ever thought of anonymously outing them?

I am not going to fully address your idiocy. "They were Black" or "They were primary African" is not a SPECIFIC Bio Historical Narrative. If you spent your time here reading instead of Trolling you would understand how this Uni-parental profile isn't specific. As to your questions....listen to the 3 hour interview. What you see is what you get. One day...if something close to what I have is ever released I will give the full breakdown of what went down...and how it went down. Until then.....Nah.

my 2 cents? He was duped! That's what happens to wannabes. Stand your ground man and don't suck up to these people. They are feeding you shyte.

Take the Abusir results as an example. Analyze THEIR data independently. Ignore their conclusions. It is filled with lies.

As you can see for the Abusir the brown component is the elephant in the room. The red component is a distraction. Added to that look at the unipraental markers for the Abusir ...all African. So your source may be right, your list may be accurate but until it is published...ignore it.

So that was your motive for bumping this to thread? To hop to another topic to continue your p!$$!*** contest with Beyoku after you were told to stop?

Someone please lock this....

I always teach my kids "lessons of life". This is a teaching moment. The thread is related because this is diametrically opposite to Abusir.


And I don't get into a pissing contest with juniors. "I debate my equals all others I teach" - John H Clark.


If AstenB had pointed out the elephant in the room I would consider him an equal, instead he focused on the red component arguing with me that the red was SSA when it was not. That shows me he is just a parrot, and incapable of true reasoning and deep thinking....like you.

BTW no one tells me to stop anything. I am my own man. Always have and always will. Call me Kilmonger. I take what is mine. [Big Grin]

you are being petty like a drama queen, if HE knows the data is legit, this is not going to change his views at all. If he can't talk about the data but believes it's source he's going to walk out of this exactly as he had walked in. Now the rest of us may not be able to see it, so at most this is just ego flexing for display. There was NOTHING new on your part to add, he's said he's not saying anything more. Beyond being petty WHAT is there left to do here? Lock please.

Are you guys Done?

...Lapse of judgement on my part, it appears xyyman had no true reason after all for using a phoenix down on this thread.
