[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Manu: [qb] The most reasonable explanation to reconcile these affinity results is ...[/qb][/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [qb] My thoughts: Markers such as Haplotype IV, M60, HbS, and the above STR's are not associated with Elongated Northeast Africans, yet, they are/were found in Egypt in abundance. Those markers were likely brought to Egypt by people who underwent a similar arid/hyperarid evolution process as the ancestors of the Afrasan speakers that now sport an elongated appearance (eg, Borano, Afar, Somali's etc). Why? Because all Nile Valley populations tend to cluster together[/i], phenotypically speaking, with contemporary material (eg, Mesolithic Sudan clusters with Mesolithic Egypt, Neolithic Sudan clusters with Neolithic Egypt), even though we KNOW that some of those exact same similar looking Nile-Valley populations had very different ethnic/linguistic (and thus genetic) backgrounds. We know this because Ehret and other linguistic scholars are correlating Nilo Saharan languages with some of those complexes. This is all discernable because such groups are extant today, allowing for such extrapolation, but what about other other potential groups that could have and would have assimulated? The diversity of ethno-lingistic groups coupled with Nile Valley populational homogeneity agrees with the earlier mentioned possibility that other, genetically way more Southern, groups could have slipped past our limited skeletal radar as well. This is the only explanation I can come up with, that can explain the above markers in conjunction with the seemingly incongruent skeletal evidence. The ancestors of the present day (genetically) closely related elongated Somali/Ethiopian/Sudanic/Egyptian populations lost their still somewhat generalized, late-Paleolithic broadly African features (seen in Jebel Sahabans, Wadi Halfans, Late Paleolithic Esnans, Mushabeans, Late Paleolithic Wadi Kubbaniyans) alongside some other, by then genetically differentiated (but not so much physically) Sub Saharan Africans (ie, they would have been rich in E-V38, M60 and other typically Sub Saharan markers that can be seen in Egypt today, but not so much in the aforementioned Horn populations).[/qb][/QUOTE][/qb][/QUOTE]In support of the above I present the following Pinhasi et al (2000) data: [IMG]http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/6721/explainingstrprofiles2.png[/IMG] The location of Springbok flats and the other African specimen that were particularly close to the Upper Paleolithic Egyptian Nazlet Khater, are highlighted in green: [IMG]http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/8511/explainingstrprofiles1.png[/IMG] The type of analysis was metric, and the bones that were studied are the Mandible. Notice that the specimen roughly correspond with Southern Africa and the Great Lakes Region. Thoughts? [/QB][/QUOTE]
