[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Old Doctore: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Perahu: [qb] Maasai have a lot of Cushitic admixture from the Horn of Africa. So it isn't really surprising that they carry Neanderthal admixture since Cushitic populations are genetically affiliated with Eurasians. [/qb][/QUOTE]Some people aren't well versed in regard to genetics, no offense The Maasai are roughly 45-50% Cushitic, correct! Cushitic populations are genetically intermediate between West Africans and Eurasians, due to the natural genetic cline from "deeper" Africa and outwards into Eurasia/the America's etc. West Africans are intermediate between hunter-gather groups for example and Eurasians. Are they mixed?obviously no. It's the same situation. The Cushitic cluster is separate from any of the Eurasian clusters. There's no affiliation due to admixture in regard to the Cushitic cluster in particular. Possible Neanderthal ancestry is due to non-Africans leaving Africa and shorty afterwards absorbing small traces of Neanderthal admixture. Which are today for the most part useless. If you don't have Eurasian ancestry, no chance of you possessing Neanderthal admixture according to this theory. The Maasai don't have Eurasian ancestry, they have Cushitic admixture. And this isn't static admixture were talking about here. Eurasians possibly carry Neanderthal genomes/haplotypes scattered across their DNA. So basically useless relics. Only one Ethiopian carried the B006 haplotype btw [/QB][/QUOTE]
