[QUOTE]Originally posted by qoucela: [QB] [QUOTE]qoucela: The concept of lineage origination in genetics is not that cut and dry especially when ethnohistorical documentation is ignored. I for one consider that the people of ancient Arabia particularly of the Neolithic B Ghassulian and Chalcolithic periods of JordanPalestine were cultures of the Afro-Asiatics or Ethio-Arabians.[/QUOTE]Yes, the south Arabian cultures like the Tihama have been deemed to have some associations with East Africa, with contribution coming largely from the African side. As for the rest of 'southwest Asia", the Neolithic agricultural revolution of the Levantine region was largely an in situ development, having occurred after population flows from the Nile Valley, along with new lithic cultures. With this spread, came proto-Afrasan languages that would form the basis of the Semitic languages now spoken in the region. These populations are characterized by YAP+ E-M215 chromosomes - again, marking "East African" contribution, as opposed to "southwest Asian" origin. I am glad you have helped confirm my belief in the East African origins of the Syro-Canaanite peoples. So why is it so hard to fathom that such people could not have moved back into Africa a few thousand years ago as their own traditions claim they did. [/QB][/QUOTE]
