[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tukuler: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [IMG]http://www.ephotobay.com/image/picture-32-24.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]Kefi's haplogroup assignments are biased because she omits many Hg L possibilities. Also, if one literally does the math, one will see Kefi overlooks Taf VIII as African component but then slyly and covertly figures it into her total Eurasian component freq :eek: :eek: :eek: no way to get to 100% without counting Taf VIII. Kefi was hell bent on denying any African contribution to Maurusian industry and people except local littoral Maghreb. One of the things she plainly proposed was to see if SSA had anything to do w/Maurusian. Kefi quite clearly and w/o any ambiguity strikes off what she calls sub-Sudanese in the peopling of Maurusian. To do that she ignores any L haplogroup possibilities and what's worse for the one sample she couldn't find a non-SSA hg (Taf VIII) she blithely ignores as if no one can see it too is a part of Maurusian peopling. Again, do the math, no joke. Kefi's math doesn't add up. [IMG]http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/9104/kefitaforalt.jpg[/IMG] Well at least in 2009 Kefi admitted Sudan genetics go back to 9k in NA. But she still didn't 'fess up her 2005 errors about 13k Taforalt having no non-local African mtDNA, i.e., L3/M/N per her own report. And when we use Kefi2005's raw data, as sparse as it is, we uncover a 29% supposedly "SSA" component from a variety of L haplogroups. 2 of the 4 Kefi H? samples could be L. 2 of the 3 Kefi JT samples could be L. 1 of the 2 Kefi _V samples could be L. [IMG]http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/5201/kefitaforaltbiased.jpg[/IMG] Kefi is [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=005494;p=2#000074]unethical in ignoring TafVIII[/URL], i.e., her only L3/M/N ("sub-Saharan female") fossil find. For instance, in her PPt slide, posted above by the Lioness, Kefi throws out TafVIII. Is it in order to deny an inner African component in epipaleolithic Taforalt? It is her 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%. Kefi's table has 23 entries. The three Taf V entries were reduced to one, leaving a base of 21 entries. Kefi has: * local North African U6 at 9.5% (2/21) * presumed foreign H U JT V at 90.5% (but 18/21 = 85.7%) * presumed "sub-Sudanese" L3/M/N at 0% (but 1/21 = 4.8%) Note that 9.5 + 85.7 = 95.2 not 100 To arrive at 90.5% for H U JT V Kefi had to add the sub-Sudanese 4.8% to the foreign 85.7%. Kefi, with a stroke of the pen and hoping no one would notice, added sub-Sudanese L3/M/N to the Eurasiatic component. 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. [b]Taf VIII[/b] one of the Taforalt physical remains [IMG]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jUC9bAcg2H0/UW4AlhhfavI/AAAAAAAAA2c/EwUeixycrAI/s1600/Taf%2BVIII.PNG[/IMG] This is the one Kefi had to admit its DNA was in the L/M/N category i.e., same as her sub-Sudanese. Since climatology disallows for flow from 15 north lat from 22 - 12 kya then its ancestress was there from the start of the Maurusian industry just like the U6, H, and the alleged V and JT ancestresses.
