According to the most recent genetic research, haplogroup E1b1b1a evolved in NE Africa ~ 20,000 years ago. Based upon this knowledge, what did the population who originally carried this lineage look like?

Probably Cushtic speakers because i think they have the largest amount. The origin though is placed in Southern Egypt. One study to read:

Hey Rasol do you want this one?

Genotype equals phenotype Right. HaploGroups DO NOT equal phenotpye. Right.


20,000ya. All Africans. Right? NO modern Europeans until about 6000bc. NO Asians until about the same period when they repleced the negritos in Asia.

I believe we've been through this numerous times over the years. Want to get an idea of phenotypic tendencies that the original E-M78 carrying populations would have hosted — since they would have been in an environment that doesn't warrant extreme morphological adaptations from their ancestors' state — then look to E-M35* carriers in sub-Saharan Africa. E-M35 is the parent of E-M78. Furthermore, as far as indicators go, the "tropical" body proportions characterizing test skeletons of Dynastic specimens, should serve as an imprint of what their ancestors looked like.

As to the topic question posed by Evergreen, to answer you question as to how exactly the carriers of that original haplogroup looked, all one needs to do is look at any surviving human remains of that region during that time period.

As such, does anyone have such studies??

Interesting bits...

Evergreen Writes:

The interesting thing is the Wadi Halfa sample is a part of the Kom Ombo Basin cultures, within whom the oldest E1b1 sub-clade E1b1b1a1 (V12) derived in Southern Egypt/Northern Sudan. Joel D. Irish also notes dental affinities between this group and modern West Africans.

Is it possible that the more elongated features of recent Horn of Africa populations derived during the mid-early holocene due to aridity from a broader morphological complex? Is it possible that groups such as Greeks and Natufians obtain phenotypic characteristics from these so-called "Negroid" groups that originally carried the E3b lineage along the Nile?

Interestingly enough, Lake Victoria - the base of the Nile's longest branch, the White Nile - is bordered by Kenya on the East side, and is primarily located in Southern Uganda and Northern Tanzania, and is East of Congo (DRC).

"Wadi Halfa differed at a high level of
significance in more of the comparisons than any other. There were only two
groups from which it could not be convincingly excluded the recent Nubians and
*the roster* of sub-Saharan Africans."
- Brace et al 1993 (.pdf)

"the roster" of sub-Saharan Africans were a relatively small sample from distant places like Zanzibar, Dahomey, Gabon and Tanzania. Though Brace was aware they were in sub-Saharan Africa, Somalis were not included in the roster of sub-Saharan Africans.

That tells you that
  1. people from places intermediate to Somalia and West sub-Saharan Africa (the Sahel) weren't sampled. I think Brace had a few things in mind one of which was showing that different environments and proximity yield different morphological traits above all.
  2. West Africans clustering with a Nile Valley group more than adjacent samples is significant.

Since we know from the data Ancient Egyptians (from Upper Egypt to Lower Egypt) had tropical body plans that distinguish them from their Levantine neighbors and Europeans and groups them with tropical Africa as proposed in Robins 1986, (and later confirmed by Zakrzewski and others) Brace's comments here should shed a little more light:

quote:
"The elongation of the distal segments of the limbs is also clearly related to the
dissipation of metabolically generated heat. Since heat stress and latitude are
clearly related, one would expect to find a correlation between the two sets of traits
that are associated with adaptation to survival in areas of great ambient temperature-
namely skin color and limb proportions. This is clearly the case in such
areas as equatorial Africa
, the tropical portions of South Asia, and northern Australia,
although there is little covariation with other sets of inherited traits. In this
regard, it is interesting to note that the limb proportions of the Predynastic
Naqada people in Upper Egypt are reported to be “super-negroid,” meaning that
the distal segments are elongated in the fashion of tropical Africans (Robins and
Shute, 1986).
It would be just as accurate to call them “super-Veddoid or “super-
Carpentarian” since skin color intensification and distal limb elongation is apparent
wherever people have been long-term residents of the tropics. The term “supertropical”
would be better since it implies the results of selection associated with a
given latitude rather than the more “racially loaded” term “negroid.”

Nasal bridge elevation and elongation is also a trait influenced by the forces of
selection. These are related to the relative lack of moisture in inspired air (Glanville,
1969). That in turn is only very tenuously determined by the intensity of
solar radiation. Air in tropical deserts, of course, is obviously arid, but cold air in
the less insolated parts of the world also has a notably reduced moisture carrying
capacity,
and one would expect to find a discernible development of the anatomical
features associated with the moistening of inspired air in those people whose ancestors
were long-time residents in the colder parts of the world. This is indeed the
case as is shown by the examples of the members of the European and Amerind
clusters (Brace and Hunt, 1990). We would not expect this kind of adaptation to be
selected for in the moist tropics such as West Africa and the Congo basin,
and
there, as anticipated, we can note the absence of nasal elevation and elongation.
The East Horn of Africa, however, is another situation entirely. Like much of the
Arabian peninsula and the Sahara itself, it is very dry. Solar radiation is intense,
and we would expect to find an increased amount of melanin in the skin of the
long-term residents of the equatorial portion of that area. We would also expect
them to display a degree of nasal elevation and elongation
unlike that of the
long-term residents at the same latitude but in the moist tropics to the west. This
in fact is the case, as we can demonstrate with our own measurements."

Brace is right, with the above, but he's not being forthright.

The relevance of the tropical adaptations of Ancient Egyptians is of course that it demonstrates that the AE are biologically tropical -like Africans- and unlike West Eurasians.

He is completely correct that the concept of negroid and caucasoid are, ultimately moot.

Likewise, the race constructs of veddoid or australoid are irrelvant, not only because no such 'races' exist, but also because we know that the AE do not come from India or Australia.


But the question of whether Kemetians originate in tropical AFrica or 'West Eurasia' is at the heart of the discussion.

Tropical adaptation is powerful evidence that they come from Africa.

And as Brace notes: it is evidence that correlates well with dark skin color.

Brace: "Africa of course entails black, though black does not entail African".

^ It's too bad that many who read the above do not understand what is being said.

If we are not distracted by racial terms, we realise that Brace is acknowledging that AE were Black and African - a fact he distracts us from, but does not materially dispute.

Indeed, that's why we have to understand all around areas in relevance to this subject (which we do) so when Brace makes statements like this we can notice the admission, albeit being admitted indirectly. Also, all studies in which prove Ancient Egyptians to be totally indigenous in origin, only enhances this fact. Arabs and Europeans are not Indigenous Africans or tropically adapted. This is what people have to understand.

When debunked tries to dismiss tropical adaptation erroneously as as being a generalized morphology, but he gets a slaps him in the face when Ancient Egyptians being tropically adapted is something that can't be falsely classify as generalized, at 5000 B.C.E. No wonder debunked doesn't argue for a "white" Egypt. Instead his last resort is erroneously trying to defend Europe's so called "whiteness" The perseverance is admirable, but his idiocy is sad.

It's also important to bear in mind Brace's claims for European skull = Neanderthal skull, and not African skull.

You know come to think of it. This makes more and more sense.

Most lineages are/were Black African phenotypically around mesolitic and before. It is only later on as the Africans moved further north that they changed. This will explain the J-black Lemba's and J white Askhnazis. And the E3b White Europeans and E3b black East Africans.

^^ Will have to look at the study you reference but Keita notes that labeling Haplotype XI as "Oriental" is misleading. It has its highest frequencies in the Horn and the Nile Valley, so he questions why other scholars keep calling in "Oriental" or using such terms as "Middle Eastern." This he holds is "the ongoing tendency in some disciplines to label the Nile valley as Middle Eastern, in a fashion that effectively suggests that Egypt has no African context, and that also hides its biocultural Africanity in pre-Islamic times."[88]

S.O.Y. Keita, A. J. Boyce, "Genetics, Egypt, and History: Interpreting Geographical Patterns of Y Chromosome Variation1," History in Africa 32 (2005) 221-246

http://www.geocities.com/nilevalleypeoples/#Methodological_problems_in_applying_of_DNA_analysis_to_ancient_Nile_Valley_populations

Chromosonial variants that have a bearing on the Nile Valley include Haplotype IV, which is found in high frequency in west, central, and sub-equatorial Africa in speakers of Niger-Congo, and to some extent among the Nubians. Another variant, Haplotype XI has its highest frequencies in the Horn and the Nile valley, but has been misleadingly called "Oriental". The haplotypes VII and VIII are the major indigenous Near Eastern haplotypes, found especially in Near Eastern Arabic speakers and Jews. In comparison to those of V their frequencies are small in supra-Saharan Africa.[89]

Haplotype V has also seen the use of misleading terms like "Arabic" to describe it, implying it is of 'Middle Eastern' origins.[90] When the hapotype V variant is looked at in context however, very high prevalences occur in African countries above the Sahara and Ethiopia, with heavy concentrations found among Berbers and Falashas (black Jews of Ethiopia). The weight of this distribution in Africa, rather than Arabia, has led researchers like Lucotte 1993, 1996 et. al.) to call the gene variant "African" or "Berber." As regards the Ethiopian Falahas, (the 'black' Jews), they have a very high frequency of haplotypes V and XI, with none or little of VII and VIII (often associated with movements of Arabic and Turkic peoples into Egypt) which shows them to be "clearly of African origin" per Lucotte and Mercier, 2003. As a result of this data, some DNA researchers hold that it is more accurate to call hapotype V "Horn-supra-Saharan African" rather than "Arabic" and to recognize it as indigeous to Africa rather than labeling it as "Middle Eastern" or "Oriental."[91] Overall the Nile Valley peoples show a diversity of chromosonal patterns throughout their long history.[92]
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


On migration to the Sahel, maybe it does not have to be East Africans per se at all, although ultimately much population distribution worldwide can be traced back to East Africa. The indigenous Saharan peoples carried more than enough genetic diversity to influence the Sahel and other West African regions. Indeed, the Sahara one extended across one-third of Africa. This inheritance, the Saharan inheritance, thus criss-crosses areas from West Africa, to East, to North Africa and of course, the Nile Valley, where of course the Saharans were in place to start the Dynastic civilization. As regards West Africa of course, the Saharan inheritance is also reflected from early times, culminating in the great Saharan-based or associated kingdoms we all know so well.

Gm allotypes & immunoglobulin heavy gamma IGHG genes in Berbers, Arabs & Africans - Jerba Island, Tunisia


The Gm polymorphism was investigated in three different ethnic groups -- Arabs, Berbers and 'dark-skinned people'--on Jerba Island, Tunisia.

The genetic relationships among these groups and several populations from North Africa, sub-Saharan Africa, west Asia and Europe were analysed by principal coordinate analysis, Fst significance testing, and analysis of molecular variance based on haplotype frequencies.

The results revealed a non-significant genetic differentiation between Arabs and Berbers from Jerba.

However, the Jerbian population of sub-Saharan African origin was close to Ethiopians.

Gene flow among the three Jerbian populations, as well as an East African origin of the dark-skinned individuals, is proposed to account for the observed genetic pattern.

Female gene pools of Berber and Arab neighboring communities in central Tunisia: microstructure of mtDNA variation in North Africa.


Hum Biol. 2005 Feb;77(1):61-70.

Laboratory of Molecular Genetics, Immunology, and Biotechnology, Faculty of Sciences of Tunis, University of Tunis, El Manar II 1060, Tunisia.


North African populations are considered genetically closer to Eurasians than to sub-Saharans. However, they display a considerably high mtDNA heterogeneity among them, namely in the frequencies of the U6, East African, and sub-Saharan haplogroups. In this study, we describe and compare the female gene pools of two neighboring Tunisian populations, Kesra (Berber) and Zriba (non-Berber), which have contrasting historical backgrounds. Both populations presented lower diversity values than those observed for other North African populations, and they were the only populations not showing significant negative Fu's F(S) values. Kesra displayed a much higher proportion of typical sub-Saharan haplotypes (49%, including 4.2% of M1 haplogroup) than Zriba (8%). With respect to U6 sequences, frequencies were low (2% in Kesra and 8% in Zriba), and all belonged to the subhaplogroup U6a. An analysis of these data in the context of North Africa reveals that the emerging picture is complex, because Zriba would match the profile of a Berber Moroccan population, whereas Kesra, which shows twice the frequency of sub-Saharan lineages normally observed in northern coastal populations, would match a western Saharan population except for the low U6 frequency. The North African patchy mtDNA landscape has no parallel in other regions of the world and increasing the number of sampled populations has not been accompanied by any substantial increase in our understanding of its phylogeography. Available data up to now rely on sampling small, scattered populations, although they are carefully characterized in terms of their ethnic, linguistic, and historical backgrounds. It is therefore doubtful that this picture truly represents the complex historical demography of the region rather than being just the result of the type of samplings performed so far.

North African DNA is patchy because of the patchy population history in North Africa. This means that various groups have interacted in various parts of North Africa in various ways over time producing what you see today. Therefore it is impossible to generalize the phenotype or genotype of all North African populations.

Haplotype XI has its highest frequencies
in the Horn and the Nile Valley, and also has
an African origin in this region. This haplotype
has arisen independently several times
in different regions
, as indicated by its
affiliation with lineages defined by different
biallelic markers (e.g., al-Zahery et al., 2003;

Passarino et al., 2001; Semino, personal
communication).

Referencing al~Zahery for ht 11's definitive
bands (A3,C0,D0,F1,I1) besides its E-M35
association it also affiliates with R-M17.

In Africa, the particular E-M35 subclade that may
go along with ht 11 could be deduced from the
regional population of its highest frequencies
in Keita's tables correlated to equivalent
frequencies of the same regional populations
in reports that use the "standard" nomenclature.

True, and the use of terminology like "Oriental"
by some scholars obscures understanding of
the complex pattern you note above.

Well considering that North East Africa is a hotbed of various features from "Indian" looking Africans to "Dark Whites" to elongated Saharan, to "fine" featured blacks, to the Sudanic types and the Bedja Nomadic types and so forth it is hard to pinpoint or correlate phenotype and genotype. It is impossible.

My apologies for not making a comprehensive post
on haplotype XI that rightfully should include all the
populations in Africa where it is found. For example,
its 30.4% occurence rate in Lower Nubia and rate of
26.1% in Ethiopia is significant.

Nice. Since E M*78 descends from E1b1b1 which in turn descends from E M*35, they still all mark migrations of E. Africans.

LOLOL uh oh I know Argyle is coming with this one he he he.

What pray tell is an "Indian looking African" and how "fine" are these "certain" black people??

[Big Grin]


I mean if all humans come from Africa, how can an indigenous African look like a NON-AFRICAN Doug?

I'll let Argyle eat you up on this one though I know it's going to be brutal lolol. I just like to Watch [Cool]

You are right. Non Africans look like Africans, not vise versa. I never said anything otherwise.

Want to get an idea of phenotypic tendencies that the original E-M78 carrying populations would have hosted — since they would have been in an environment that doesn't warrant extreme morphological adaptations from their ancestors' state — then look to E-M35* carriers in sub-Saharan Africa. E-M35 is the parent of E-M78. Furthermore, as far as indicators go, the "tropical" body proportions characterizing test skeletons of Dynastic specimens, should serve as an imprint of what their ancestors looked like.

^^Indeed.
