[QUOTE]Originally posted by Red,White, and Blue + Christian: [QB] Last, but not least. The wondeful comedian Chris Rock was found to be paternally derived from the Uldeme of Cameroon. Actor Don Cheadle's ancestors were enslaved by the Choctaw. But, he has no Indian ancestry! Don's ancestors also came from Cameroon. But, which tribe? Don Cheadle... [IMG]http://scifipedia.scifi.com/images/f/f6/Don_cheadle.jpg[/IMG] Chris Rock http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Rock [IMG]http://lastrow.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/chris-rock.jpg[/IMG] Does Uldeme sound familiar?? it's one of those northern Chadic speaking (Afro-Asiatic) tribes of Northern Cameroon with a very interesting Y chromosome. And Chris has it! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_ R_(Y-DNA)ng R1* One isolated clade (or clades) of Y chromosomes that appear to belong to Haplogroup R1* (M173-derived) is found at high frequency among the native populations of northern Cameroon in west-central Africa, which is believed to reflect a prehistoric back-migration of an ancient proto-Eurasian population into Africa; some researchers have reported having also detected Haplogroup K2 Y-chromosomes at a low frequency among some of these Cameroonian populations, which also suggests a Eurasian affinity.[1] Some Y-chromosomes that appear to be closely related to the northern Cameroonian R1b1* are found at a substantial frequency among the modern population of Egypt. Many modern populations of northern Cameroon speak Chadic languages, which are classified as an ancient branch of the Afro-Asiatic superfamily of languages; the now extinct language of the Ancient Egyptians also belonged to the same superfamily. http://vetinarilord.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html Isolates in a corridor of migrations: a high-resolution analysis of Y-chromosome variation in Jordan A high-resolution, Y-chromosome analysis using 46 binary markers has been carried out in two Jordan populations, one from the metropolitan area of Amman and the other from the Dead Sea, an area geographically isolated. Comparisons with neighboring populations showed that whereas the sample from Amman did not significantly differ from their Levantine neighbors, the Dead Sea sample clearly behaved as a genetic outlier in the region. Its high R1*-M173 frequency (40%) has until now only been found in northern Cameroonian samples. This contrasts with the comparatively low presence of J representatives (9%), which is the modal clade in Middle Eastern populations, including Amman. The Dead Sea sample also showed a high presence of E3b3a-M34 lineages (31%), which is only comparable to that found in Ethiopians. Although ancient and recent ties with sub-Saharan and eastern Africans cannot be discarded, it seems that isolation, strong drift, and/or founder effects are responsible for the anomalous Y-chromosome pool of this population. These results demonstrate that, at a fine scale, the smooth, continental clines detected for several Y-chromosome markers are often disrupted by genetically divergent populations. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Cheadle [/QB][/QUOTE]
