[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ish Gebor: [QB] PS, ^ [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] ^ And are you saying that Holliday's Afalou sample represents all Oranians/Iberomarusians the same way his El Wad Natufian sample represents all Natufians?? You realize that crania from the Afalou bou Rummel site differ from the Mechta el Arbi in that the former have crania that are brachycephalic and orthognathous as well as cold adapted limb proportions. The same can be said of El Wad Natufians. [/qb][/QUOTE] [QUOTE] African groups tend to cluster together on the right side of the plot, whereas recent Europeans and circumpolar groups tend to cluster together on the left. Note that the Jebel Sahaba sample shares extremely close phenetic affinity with the recent West Africans, then is connected by two relatively short branches to the Sudanese from the site of Kerma and the East Africans, respectively. The Sudanese are then connected via one medium-length branch to the Egyptians and by a much longer branch to San. The Egyptians are connected via a short branch to recent African-Americans, who are then connected by one short branch to the recent Nubians and a second, much longer, branch to the African ‘Pygmies’. The Pygmies themselves are connected via a short branch to the single Ain Dokhara individual. Among the higher latitude groups, the Germans are tied to the exclusively African cluster described earlier via a medium-length branch to the Nubian sample. Finally, the remainder of the European and circumpolar groups cluster together on the left- hand side of the plot, with the Afalou skeletons and El Wad Natufians clustering among them. The NJ tree based on the five postcranial shape variables is displayed in Figure 5. The tree has two major branches, one with recent Africans and the second a combined recent European/circumpolar branch. Among the African groups, the Christian-era Nubians are an outlier to the remainder of the African groups, followed by the Pygmies and the Ain Dokhara individual. On the NJ tree, the Jebel Sahaba sample shares close phenetic affinity with recent East Africans, followed by the West Africans and Sudanese. They then sequentially join the San, Egyptians and African-Americans. On the tree’s other major branch, that is, among the recent European/circumpolar groups, the Germans are the outgroup, followed by the Norse and then the El Wad Natufians. Interestingly, the three circumpolar samples cluster together (albeit on long branches), and the fossils from Afalou are an outgroup to these circumpolar people. [/QUOTE]--T. W.
