[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] The 2004 Luis, Underhill, et ales. [URL=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1182266/]study[/URL] shows modern Egyptians at least from the Cairo area to rougly possess 46.3% African paternal lineages (A, E3b, & E3a) [IMG]http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b383/shurikenjay/AfricanDNA.jpg[/IMG] According to a recent genomic analysis of modern Egyptians by National Geographic, modern Egyptians [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=009637;p=1]are 68% North African and 17% Arab[/URL] along with admixture from other ancestries, though I believe the study is based on autosomal DNA. [IMG]https://i1.wp.com/www.elkhabar.com/media/uploads/2-700x.jpg[/IMG] Of course the study includes all modern Egyptians both Copt and Muslim. But if you add the 3% East African ancestry, then that gives us a total of 71% African ancestry. Recall the autosomal comparison of the Abusir Mummies with modern Egyptians: [IMG]https://copticliterature.files.wordpress.com/2019/11/dna5.png[/IMG] But then we have Brandon's [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=010490]report on ANA ancestry in Africans[/URL]: [QUOTE]Originally posted by BrandonP: [URL=https://revoiye.com/update-ana-related-admixture-in-select-populations]Courtesy of revoiye[/URL] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/eSYfwnv.png[/IMG] Some findings of interest: * ANA (Ancient North African) ancestry appears to be most heavily concentrated in Northeast African populations, although West and Central Africans, as well as ancient Maghrebis, have some ANA as well. * Various ancient populations in West Eurasia have small but significant ANA ancestry components as well. Minoans actually have a rather large chunk of it as far as EEF-descended populations go. [qb]* The Abusir el Meleq mummies have less ANA than modern Egyptians (either Coptic or Muslim). The former have approximately as much ANA as Natufians. Make of that what you will. [/qb][/QUOTE]So modern Egyptians not only possess more SSA ancetry than the ancient (at least Abusir samples) but also ANA ancestry as well. What does this mean? [/QB][/QUOTE]
