[QUOTE]Originally posted by BrandonP: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [qb] @BrandonP As far as the wider implications (you mentioned ANF), these revelations (e.g. the piecemeal spread of skin pigmentation genes, the surprisingly late appearance of CHG that is in modern Egypt, today) are welcome because they're the genetic correlates of the physical change we see in the Mediterranean skeletal data (Brace et al 2005), and we've not had that, so far. [/qb][/QUOTE]I'm looking at the Brace 2005 study again, and I see what you're talking about. It is interesting to me that, craniofacially speaking, his ancient Canary Island samples resemble modern Europeans more than they do Neolithic Algerians or modern Mediterranean populations (the latter including modern North African nationals) according to Fig. 4. What kind of population migrations do you think might account for the changes that Brace observed as well as the increase in derived SLC45A2's frequency? My gut went for an increase in steppe ancestry for Europeans at least, but Yamnaya doesn't have that much derived SLC45A2 either. [/QB][/QUOTE]
