[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Amanutcase The Ultimate: [qb] Yes, Ancient Egyptians and African populations share a common origin somewhere in (North-) Eastern Africa. You can see it genetically and linguistically (common geographic origin of African languages in Eastern Africa). This at a time period post-dating the Out of Africa migration.[/qb] [IMG]http://www.ephotobay.com/image/geo-origin-of-african-languages-chap-12-reconstr.jpg[/IMG] [i]Reconstructing Ancient Kinship in Africa by Christopher Ehret (From Early Human Kinship, Chap 12)[/i] [b]The most probable origin areas of each African families lay within regions in or adjacent to the Horn of Africa.[/b][/QUOTE]Yes, I've cited Ehret many times before on this, but didn't YOU yourself say the Horn is inhabited by Eurasian populations?! :rolleyes: [QUOTE][qb]There's also a lot of admixtures between African populations throughout history. This combined effect of common origin and admixture is why African populations cluster together in term of genetic distances. It's also why they share a lot cultural similarities. It's a similar thing for other populations too like Europeans, East Asians, Native Americans. Who tend to cluster together too (due to common origin and regional admixture). [/qb][/QUOTE]Of course, in fact unlike Eurasia where there are a lot of mountains and other geological features that act as barriers to gene-flow, Africa has very few mountains or any barriers which is why there has been constant gene-flow between African populations hence PN2 spans the whole continent. Even the Sahara wasn't a complete barrier since there are oases and aquifers that served as sources of water and even then the Sahara did not always exist as there were wet periods. Note some of this gene-flow even spilled out into Eurasia such as into the Levant and the introduction of pre-proto-Semitic and even into the Mediterranean into Southern Europe which is why Europeans are African-mixed etc. I and others have always maintained these FACTS yet you accuse us of trying to white-wash or Eurasianize Egyptians! :eek: Why is that???
