[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nodnarb: [QB] I do believe the ancestors of the Bantu, and other Niger-Congo-speaking Africans, would have intermingled with those of ancient Egyptians and Nubians in the Green Sahara. And this probably would have resulted in admixture and cultural exchanges between all these populations. If you look at this graph Swenet posted in the other thread, there [i]is[/i] a Yoruba-like ancestry present in Egypt and the adjacent Fertile Crescent. Some of this might be attributable to the slave trade, but who's to say the Green Sahara couldn't have been a factor as well? It would have to postdate the Neolithic though since it's not present in the "ancient" (prehistoric?) Anatolian or Greek samples indicated here. [IMG]https://snag.gy/UZsD3Q.jpg[/IMG] At the same time, I would take some of the oral traditions with a grain of salt since Egypt is a very prestigious civilization and many Bantu people today probably want to claim it as part of "their" heritage.
