[QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan: [QB] [b]The Mozambite, unlike what some posters have stated, are a very good repersentation for the general North African population, being predomiantely African with a significant Eursian component, clustering between the two extremes.[/b] I am not at all sure the Mozabites are good representatives of North Africa. They are North Africans but if I remember, Tishkoff's sample was Mozabites in Algeria, which she labels as "saharan" leaving out huge areas North Africa- Chad, Mali, Niger, etc. See the map from her study below. If the Mozabites are being studied by themselves fine, but when they start slapping broad labels on like 'Saharan' or "rperesentative" we should be on the alert. [b]Basically Tishkoff's "representative Saharans" are Algerians - a very skewed sample that some may then try to link to "Eurasians".[/b] You can see the same old stacked deck sampling game being run as in previous studies of North Africans and Saharans. The more the Saharans can be "Caucasianized" the more Egypt can be detached from its African context. Let's be skeptical of some of Tishkoff's methods. See Bosch below, doing the same thing with purported "North Africans" ...

They went all the way to Algeria to get samples, while neglecting Nubia, and the Sudan right next door.
