[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness: [QB] [IMG]http://picturestack.com/739/125/JDIPicture19J9W.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://picturestack.com/739/126/6jpPicture18zWP.png[/IMG] _______________________________________________ from the above, remarks added in parenthesis: [b] Results indicated the autosomal STR profiles of the Amarna period mummies were most frequent in modern populations in several parts of Africa. (mainly South Africa, Great Lakes, West Africa) These results are based on the 8 STR markers for which these pharaonic mummies have been tested, which allow a preliminary geographical analysis for these individuals who lived in Egypt during the Amarna period of the 14th century BCE. Although results do not necessarily suggest exclusively African ancestry, geographical analysis suggests ancestral links with neighboring populations in Africa for the studied pharaonic mummies. ( neighboring populations = Libya, Sudan, Levant ) If new data become available in the future, it might become possible to further clarify results and shed new light on the relationships of ancient individuals to modern populations. [/b] _____________________________________________ They seem to contradict themselves in their conclusion. They said: a) "8 STR markers for which these pharaonic mummies have been tested, which allow a preliminary geographical analysis" and b) geographical analysis suggests ancestral links with neighboring populations in Africa for the studied pharaonic mummies. ^^^^ the geographical analysis which are allowed by the STR analysis showed suggests links NOT with neighboring populations in Africa but instead with populations much further away from Egypt: South Africa, Great Lakes region, West Africa. The neighboring region North African region scored lower MLI than Northwest Europeans, both low scoring. [/QB][/QUOTE]
