[QUOTE]Originally posted by Amun-Ra The Ultimate: [QB] I just made a long post in reply that just got deleted. I will try it again. [QUOTE]It's disappointing to see this error continuing. The chart is not describing a spread from each of these regions. What is listed as "Saharan Arabian" does not mean the intent behind these charts is to show a flow from the Sahahra to Arabia. One look at the history one of the incoming migrations was a major contribution coming in from Arabia with the Islamic conquests of the Maghreb. it is an admixture chart. That means contributions coming in from without not spreading from. This chart is not an OOA chart it is a descritpion of the make upo of the modern day Maghreb and an influx of variety of Arabs and Arabized ethnicities incl Syrians etc. moving across the region beginnng with Egypt. As well Portugese in the region and a Phoenician cities centuries before [/QB][/QUOTE]While the directionality of the genetic flow cannot be directly devised from the DNA Tribes admixture table. We can see the ethnic groups which are more representative of what I will call the coastal North African-Arabian group cluster (called Saharan-Arabia by DNA Tribes) are Libya with 89.4%, North Morocco with 89.2% and Saharawi with 88.9%. On the other side of the Sinai Desert we got the Jewish Yemen with 71.9% and Bedouin Negev Desert Israel with 69.3% as most representative of the North African-Arabian cluster. All taken from the Nine Continental Zones Admixture table above. So those DNA Tribes tables would support a gene flow from North Africa toward the Middle East or at least a bi-directional gene flow between North Africa and the Near East (Arabia). We know on the male line that Middle Eastern people got around 10% of African E-78 (E-M35) DNA. They also got some level of E-M2. Many coastal North Africans got above 80% of African E-M35 (E-M81). Particularly Berbers. On the MtDNA female line, the case is a bit different with a higher prevalence of non-African DNA in North Africans (for example, Mozabite with 82.2%) . So maybe DNA Tribes with their analysis of autosomal/nonsex SNPs found the middle ground between those. [/QB][/QUOTE]
