[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] Even in your quotes the authors never dumbed things down to anachonisms like the Luhya sample is 'ancestral' to Maghrebis or that the Masai are 'ancestral' to Egyptians. Also, what xyyman 'forgot' to mention in his attempt to label all inconvenient ancestry "recent Ottoman Turk" and all convenient ancestry "ancient SSA lineage": [QUOTE]We estimate that a migration of western African origin into Morocco began about 40 generations ago (approximately 1,200 ya); a migration of individuals with Nilotic ancestry into Egypt occurred about 25 generations ago (approximately 750 ya).[/QUOTE]—Henn et al As opposed to Turk this and that and "ancestral Luhya" (which doesn't make sense to take literally because the SSA mtDNAs in the Maghreb generally aren't southeast Bantu-like, but West/Central African-like) a far better approach is to use pre-contact Canary Island 'aDNA' as a proxy for what [i]coastal[/i] Maghrebis generally could have looked like genetically, close to the common era. Makes it much easier to disregard recent gene flow from both north and south when you just want to look at long term SSA presence in coastal North Africa. [/QB][/QUOTE]
