[QUOTE]Originally posted by Calabooz': [QB] Perahu's most desperate attempt thus far: Babiker et al. 2011 One of the things that immediately jumped out at me from the aforementioned article article is this: "[b][i]The mixed ancestry of basically all individuals is probably a consequence of the **limited number of markers (and of the set of markers not being particularly informative about ancestry) rather than an indication of recent admixture**[/i][/b] Are you unable to read Perahu? Furthermore, if you would notice, the same article only claims RECENT gene flow into the Nile Valley from Eurasia, not ancient. Don't think I forgot about your coptic BS Rahotep. Thankfully, Perahu's article directly contradicts your claims, AGAIN: "The low number of private alleles in the Coptic groups (0.075 ± 0.053) may be a result of the recent migration of this population from Egypt, [b]where they may have been influenced by gene flow from Asia and Europe[/b]" Take note, the above mentions gene flow from non-Africans to Coptics IN Egypt. From Hassan et al. 2008 we know that Copts have not been effected by their recent history in Sudan. Also note, [b]low number of private alleles suggests some amount of gene flow[/b]. But what we are told of the Somali: "[i]The mean number of private alleles was greatest in the Somali (0.400 ± 0.171)[/i]" However, despite this fact, the authors STILL make a mention of Somali's being of mixed origin. The corresponding citation for this claim? You guessed it, Sanchez et al. (2005). That made the erroneous suggestion that Somalis are closer to Eurasians than sub-Saharan Africans even though their results show: 1)The Somali population is almost completely African 2)The Somali population is a branch of the East Africans 3)The Somali population has been affected by RECENT gene flow from the [b]7th century onwards[/b]. Therefore, Babiker et al. 2011 erroneous suggestion that the Somali population is of "mixed origin" falls flat. As this would suggest half African/Eurasian which is not the case. However they do offer an alternative explanation for the distinctiveness of the Somali cluster which is a stronger effect from the Bantu expansion. It seems more like their great diversity vs. less diversity is the cause though. The main thing to emphasize here is that the "mixed status" of the samples IS NOT NECESSARILY FROM ADMIXTURE BUT LOW NUMBER OF GENETIC MARKERS TESTED. Perahu, the chart you edited to suit you agenda is so laughable [/QB][/QUOTE]
