[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by -Just Call Me Jari-: [QB] Tishkoff 2009, the study Perahu uses to claim the Beja are Eurasians reported the Dogon as the Africans with most Eurasian Clusters... [/QUOTE]Despite dishonesty, the sample problems of Tishkoff 2009 on Dogon have been corrected by Xing, 2010 As everyone expected the Dogon who don't look Eurasian are not Eurasian. But the rest of Tishkoff Genetic Structure of Africans is the most comprehensive DNA analysis to date on Africans. (until and if a future study updates some region) Now with the exclusion of Dogon, Mozabite show the highest blue Eurasian component as we would expect because many of them do look mixed. ( (Keep in mind many but certainly not all regions in Africa were sampled in this study, most noticebly to this forum Egypt) Some of the Beja are showing 30% Eurasian. Not a surprise because some of them have straight-ish hair, have a history of interaction with Arabs and they themselves claim Arab lineage. Also look at Ottoni 2009 on Libyan Tuaregs (not Western Tuaregs ) Ann Hum Genet. 2009 Jul;73(Pt 4):438-48. Epub 2009 May 20. First genetic insight into Libyan Tuaregs: a maternal perspective. Ottoni C, Martínez-Labarga C, Loogväli EL, Pennarun E, Achilli A, De Angelis F, Trucchi E, Contini I, Biondi G, Rickards O. Source Department of Biology, University of Rome Tor Vergata, Via della Ricerca Scientifica 1, Rome, Italy. Abstract The Tuaregs are a semi-nomadic pastoralist people of northwest Africa. Their origins are still a matter of debate due to the scarcity of genetic and historical data. Here we report the first data on the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genetic characterization of a Tuareg sample from Fezzan (Libyan Sahara). A total of 129 individuals from two villages in the Acacus region were genetically analysed. Both the hypervariable regions and the coding region of mtDNA were investigated. Phylogeographic investigation was carried out in order to reconstruct human migratory shifts in central Sahara, and to shed light on the origin of the Libyan Tuaregs. Our results clearly show low genetic diversity in the sample, possibly due to genetic drift and founder effect associated with the separation of Libyan Tuaregs from an ancestral population. Furthermore, the maternal genetic pool of the Libyan Tuaregs is characterized by a major "European" component shared with the Berbers that could be traced to the Iberian Peninsula, as well as a minor 'south Saharan' contribution possibly linked to both Eastern African and Near Eastern populations. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19476452 [/QB][/QUOTE]
