[QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova: [QB] Originally osted by Troll Patrol [b]"North Africa is located at a crossroad between Europe, Africa and Asia" [Confused] [Confused] [Big Grin] North Africa is in Africa, how can it be between? [Big Grin][/b] ^^lol.. quite true Patrol. And great roundup of references.. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted by al-Takuri: [b]Kefi is unethical in ignoring TafVIII, i.e., her only L3/M/N ("sub-Saharan female") fossil find. For instance, in her PPt Kefi throws out TafVIII. Is it in order to deny an inner African component in epipaleolithic Taforalt? It is the only sample of possible L3, M, or N affiliation. There were only two U6 samples yet Kefi did not exclude them among originators of "Ibero-Maurusians." Clearly if the L3/M/N individual was found at Taforalt then she was just as much an "Ibero-Maurusian" originator as the two U6 females were. 4% is as weighty as 8% when the true heavy weight ranks in at 50%. Also, it is very significant that an L3/M/N female was living that far north so near the very shoreline of N Africa at that point in time with her other African mtDNA sisters of the U6 haplogroup. --------------------- Thanks to Kefi's actual Maurusian era Taforalt mtDNA study there's no doubt Eurasian lineage existed in coastal and tell Mechta-Afalou ages well before Islamic white slave trade or even chalcolithic trade in non-human goods between North Africa and South Europe. Kefi's data, though limited where it differs from rCRS by no more than a three variant haplotype in 12 samples, is authentic. The problem is her obvious bias against Africa sub-Sahara. Even though she admits one sample possibly is L, M, or N, she nonetheless ignores it and categorically states there was no SSA contribution. This led me to wonder how far her bias prejudiced the haplogroup assignments of the non-rCRS samples. The fact is some polymorphisms are associated with more than one haplogroup. Using Watson 1997's full sequences of over 150 control region haplotypes with their associated L haplogroups I present valid alternatives to Kefi's interpretation which, without decisive coding region data as in Herrnstadt (2002), are just as possible.[/b] ^^Excellent analysis Takuri, exposing the contradictions.
