[QUOTE]Originally posted by Amun-Ra The Ultimate: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] ^ Yes, but let's be cautious about the claim of admixture due to certain maternal lineages. Remember that some of these lineages labeled as 'Eurasian' may in fact be African. U6 for example is touted by Euronuts as proof of Eurasian admixture even though it has its greatest frequency and diversity in the Maghreb whereas Europe, particularly the Iberian peninsula only show derivatives. U6 by the way is found in Sub-Sahara among women in Kenya yet nobody is quick to call such women have 'Caucasoid' ancestry they do with Berbers. Mind you the same is also true with certain paternal lineages. R1 is deemed Eurasian and its derivatives are most commonly identified with European males yet upstream varieties are found in Sub-Sahara especially in West Africa. [/qb][/QUOTE]It seems U6 is North African but its parent haplogroup U originate outside Africa. If you say U6 is African originally then you must say all his parents and grandparents mtDNA are African (that is Haplogroup U, Haplogroup R and Haplogroup N). I guess everything is possible but it seems like a stretch. I still stand by my position that current Berbers people have some relatively high level of admixture with foreign DNA. Although it is strange since their Y-DNA (Haplogroup E) is mostly African in origin. It's hard to imagine foreign migrants bringing with them much more women than men. Maybe the migrants men were eliminated somehow at some early point during a conflict or something. [/QB][/QUOTE]
