[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] [QUOTE] Originally posted by Djehuti: To Swenet, what do you make of Explorer's response that no other differentiated alleles or genes besides SLC24A5 was found??[/QUOTE]What about it? It's just his usual lying ass charlatan denialist approach to obfuscating inconvenient data. Right from the onset in the paper's abstract they say that they've identified haplotypes [b]which show affinity with Levantine genetic material.[/b] How exactly does the supposed lack of European specific markers wish all these haplotypes away? How exactly does the Levantine affinity with these haplotypes gel with his lying ass claim that their non-African affinity was ''left to the imagination of the readers''? [QUOTE]Using comparisons with African and non-African reference samples in 40-SNP genomic windows, [b]we identified “African” and “non-African” haplotypic components for each Ethiopian individual.[/b] (...) [b]The non-African component was found to be more similar to populations inhabiting the Levant[/b] rather than the Arabian Peninsula (...) [/QUOTE]--Pagani et al 2012 Then there is the fact that his lying ass was already confronted (by me) with the fact that Saudi specific lactase persistent associated alleles were found in Ethiopians: [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QUOTE][b]Our age estimate of the G 13915 allele of ~4095[/b] (+/- 2045) years in the Arabian Peninsula would suggest that the introduction of this LP variant might be associated with the domestication of the Arabian camel more than 6000 years ago.[/QUOTE]--Enattah et al, 2008 Where this allele is found according to Ingram et al 2006: [QUOTE]Of the populations tested, [b]the -13915*G allele was found to be fairly widespread in eastern Africa[/b] and the Middle East. It was most common in the Saudi Bedouins[/QUOTE]--Ingram et al 2006 [/QUOTE]So, ''The Explorer's'' lying ass fabrications aside, of course SLC24A5 isn't some lone Eurasian marker in the Ethiopian populations. Pagani et al's inability to find additional European markers is not indicative of the African origin of Ethiopian SLC24A5; it's simply a reflection of the fact that Europeans are a poor proxy, which Pagani et al already knew beforehand. The significance of the lack of European specific markers other than SLC24A5 needs to be looked at from the perspective of whether these European specific markers would have been present in the South Semitic speaking source population where this admixture is postulated to have originated from. Not some far flung irrelevant European comparative sample which, BTW, is EXPECTED to not share much, if any, European specific markers with Ethiopians. This is expected based on a lack of European specific haplogroups in Ethiopians. What the lying ass also failed to reference in his ''objective'' summery: [QUOTE]An intriguing consequence of admixture between populations is the opportunity for packages of genes to be “tested” in different environments. [b]As a result, the genomic regions containing functionally divergent genes might experience[/b] either positive or [b]negative selection, depending on whether their adaptive contribution was beneficial or damaging in the new environment[/b], or whether it affected social factors such as sexual selection.[/QUOTE]--Pagani et al 2012 The authors then go on to list SLC24A5 as an example of a marker that was under such positive selection in the Ethio-Semitic speaking Ethiopians, which the liar then quoted selectively and out of context to further his dogmatic case. Using the lack of European specific markers in Ethiopians as an argument against the presence of Middle Eastern specific markers in Ethiopians is like denying Zanj admixture in Yemeni because no Khoisan or Pygmy genes have yet been found in Yemenis. Anyone who has read the paper and knows what I've told him in past discussions knows that his characterization of Pagani et al in that post only indicates that he's a lying low-life who is willing to go to great lengths to convince people of his lies.
