[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: As far as I know, Afrasan speaking Ethiopians, whether Semitic speakers or Cushitic speakers, [b]cannot be differentiated based on mtDNA[/b]. [/QUOTE]Hence, goes to reaffirm just how much of a klutz you are for struggling to tie a "Semitic origin" to the origin of Ehtiopian mtDNA gene pools, which you self-convincingly call "Eurasian", apparently for nothing more than to just satisfy a silly emotional hunger. [QUOTE]They generally all have a [i]very[/i] similar mtDNA profile. This, to me, hints at the scenario that most of their Eurasian mtDNAs derive from the same Semetic speaking population.[/QUOTE]The "same" fairy-tale "Semitic speaking population" which I'm pretty sure you are just dying to reveal to us, with [b]substantive proof[/b] than toothless barking, aren't you? LOL [QUOTE]Why? Kinda hard to imagine all these different Eurasian mtDNAs reaching seperate Ethiopian etnhic groups one by one, in very similar frequencies.[/QUOTE]Let me clue you in on what's really hard to imagine: That you are anything but dumber than a brick for even entertaining something as profoundly stupid as you are above. As for the quote, the copy & paste parrot posts... [QUOTE]The Eurasian signal in Ethiopians (of course, not including much older Eurasian M1 and U6) has been has been dated to 3kya by Pagani et al 2012: [i][b]The non-African component, which includes the SLC24A5 allele associated with light skin pigmentation in Europeans, may represent gene flow into Africa, which we estimate to have occurred ∼3 thousand years ago (kya).[/b][/i][/QUOTE]1. The notion that SLC24A5 allele is unequivocally "non-African", is nothing more than subjective opining by the source above. Ethiopian populations and southern African San hunter-gatherers have both tested positive for the gene variant, on top of other sub-Saharan groups; the key here, is that both populations are reputed to represent the living remnants of relatively deep-rooted ancestry, when compared to other populations. 2. Perhaps the source were relying on other components of the gene pool outside of the SLC24A5 marker, but it is almost next to impossible to have any concrete or reliable dating of pigmentation gene variants. [QUOTE] The non-African component was [b]found to be more similar to populations inhabiting the Levant rather than the Arabian Peninsula[/b][/QUOTE]Yep, and an obvious blow to speculators whose favorite ideological theories of the supposed "Semitic" coming into the Horn from outside seem to be one of by way of the southern part of the Arabian peninsula. I've made a note of this for years and years; only now, has this dawned on the source cited above! [/QB][/QUOTE]
