[QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [QB] [QUOTE]So the question is what do these folks really mean by Near Eastern ancestry?? Notice how they distinguish East African ancestry from Sub-Saharan ancestry as if East Africa is not part of Sub-Sahara. What do they studies really define, recent population movements or ancient ones?[/QUOTE]Well, the samples of the population was taken from a place in Egypt called Gurna. This region is inhabited both by Sa3eedi people and also immigrants from Arabia that came during the 13th century. Gurna is the only area in Luxor that has large amounts of mixture with Arabs. Some of the people living around Gurna are desendants of Horobot warriors that migrated to Egypt. see the following: The people who live in Qurna are Saidi people ? that is to say, Upper Egyptians. From Beni Suef to Aswan, these people count themselves as different to those from the Delta. Egyptologists will tell you that these people are the direct descendants of the Ancient Egyptians, and this is of course so. [b]In Qurna, however, many of the families trace their descent back to three brothers who came from Arabia ? not Bedouin but Arab. The branches of the family I know are the Horabati ? the ?Warriors? ? an extended network of cousins and cousins of cousins[/b] http://www.ancientegyptmagazine.com/changing03.htm Overall, some of the people of Qurna look lighter than surrounding people of Luxor but you still find people in Qurna that look like the overall population with a dark-brownish color.
