[QUOTE]Originally posted by Whatbox: [QB] Neither of you are correct. Perahu mentioned slave trade, which doesn't automatically infer Bantu or Bantu expansion, at all, even on the Western side. The Arabs traded for and obtained slaves from the area comprising Ghana / Ouagadou, the Mali Empire, and Songhai. That doesn't always infer they were from there, but at various times due to misfortunate events even men of some status, such as intellectuals owning huge libraries ended up as slaves in either trade direction. Now, given certain factors like the finding of pharaohs with Benin sickle cell (coastal West African variant) where you'd expect it to be the Iran-India variant and a number of studies agree with this -- I'd say E-M2 could've been there since ancient times. Also [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=15;t=004494]a study[/URL] finds that much of the "African" ancestry in Jews given the average age infers they got it in their genesis -- that means in [b]ancient times[/b]. What makes Perahu definitely wrong (again) fo sho is that this study used a [b]only a Nigerian[/b] sample to represent "Africa". This is nothing new, I've seen in the news a long time ago before where this white Jewish lady found out she had (an) African relative(s) living in the [b]Western heart of Africa[/b] who shared with her great great etc. grandparents. [b]None of this answers the girl's question[/b] though, which I think is cultural. If she means from outside the nations borders I can think of plenty of Nile Valley and even possibly "Saharan" influences, but I think the question of Middle Eastern influences is an interesting one.
