[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] [QUOTE]So ancient Egyptians carried a Y chromosomal lineage that arose in East Arica ~25k years ago, whose downstreamd clade arose in Libya/Southern Egypt (and it's presence further south in East Africa is the result of a back migration) which is a lineage that is present in [b]modern Austrians at about ~10%? Ahh ok, well nothing to refute then.[/b][/QUOTE]LOL. What is this mouth fart supposed to refute, what is it a response to, and what is your point? [QUOTE]As for the 'morphological data', I believe Brace 2005 said this. "The Somalis and the Egyptian Bronze Age sample from Naqada may also have a hint of a Sub-Saharan African component."[/QUOTE]I already told you where Brace went wrong, ie, an over-emphasis on nasal morphology. You know, when someone tells you something, you can take it into consideration, or ignore it, but don't think citing another one of his studies - that is equally lacking in proper discriminatory power (same variable set) - is going to bypass the aforementioned critique. Of course you're going to get relatively large distances beteen hyper platyrine Africans and elongated Africans, when half of the variables are about nasal morphology. Well duhhh. Brace knows exactly what he is doing; he keeps reusing the same ol X-group Nubian and obscure Nubian bronze age samples (never predynastic Sudanese from immediately below the cataract), he never uses Badarians as representatives for pred. Egyptians etc etc. These seemingly ''innocent'' choices all affect his results, and he knows this, since he has been critiqued on these points (and others) by his colleagues. [QUOTE]Let's see what else the Ricaut analysis has to say.[/QUOTE]What is your point with that piece? [QUOTE]How am I "all over the place"? I made one error about whether the study we are talking about now was a metric or non-metric analysis. And you'll see it's an easy error since the study itself says "cranio-metric traits in a Byzantine population" next to the page numbers in pdf format.[/QUOTE]I'm not talking about that. In my previous post I said ''I suspect it’s the former'', ie, a severe case of ignorance on your part. [QUOTE]Other than that small and honest slip up, i'm on cruise control mate.[/QUOTE]LOL. Is that why you chose to ignore my previous points? [QUOTE]btw, if anyone has a link to "Keita 1995" which is referenced here i'd be interested in reading it. I hope it's not as shady as his 2005 'study'.[/QUOTE]What exactly is shady about Keita's work? [/QB][/QUOTE]
