[QUOTE]Originally posted by Amun-Ra The Ultimate: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by blingdogg: [qb] Let me ask you: how do you explain the greater numbers of dark-skinned Egyptians in the modern Upper Egyptian population, if it wasn’t due to higher immigration in the Lower region? [/qb][/QUOTE]Don't take it in a bad way. But I don't have to explain it to you. Not in the sense, that I'm cowering away from giving you an explanation, but in the sense that you're the one who must prove than modern egyptians are genetically close to Ancient Egyptians. Some populations living in modern Egypt, let's say to the south, like Beja, Nubians, may as well be closely related to Ancient Egyptians like all Africans. It's very possible. But understand my position, it must not be based on nothing or wishful thinking. The populations compositions (population genetic structure) changed a lot in Africa, modern Egypt and all over world in the last 5000 years. The Mesopotamia example is a case in point. In the study that talk about population replacement. So you can see from the Mesopotamia example and other genetic analysis that modern population are often not representative of ancient population. A 5000 years gap is a very large gap. As for being dark-skinned. Many people not directly related to Africans are dark-skinned. Some Native Americans, Saudi Arabians, Pakistan people, Indians, etc. To analyse of the closeness of African people, the best way I guess is to do genetic analysis. Some other dark skinned individuals, especially in Africa like in Southern Egypt, may be admixed between African and non-African, giving them some African genes like skin color. Since those people are partly African, they would cluster with Ancient Egyptians (and other Africans) to some degree. [/QB][/QUOTE]
