[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] @Charlie I agree with what you're saying. When I wrote that, I was arguing from the perspective that C.L. Fox was talking about external influences on already [i]indigenous[/i] Nile Valley populations: [i]to evaluate the [b]sub-Saharan genetic influences in this population[/b][/i] Now, a couple of years later, I no longer think that's what she was doing. However, I do think the results can be repurposed for the case that this sample was predominantly African. The reason is because, if you're arguing from C.L. Fox' perspective that the Nubian population was originally Caucasoid, you need a lot of African geneflow to get from 0% to 26.7% HpaI when you're dealing with Afro-Asiatic mtDNA M1 populations (certainly more than 26.7%). Taking modern samples with known craniometric overlap with Meroites, who live near Meroe, you'd need more than 50% mtDNA L types to go from immigrant non-African to 26.7% HpaI. [/QB][/QUOTE]
