[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nodnarb: [QB] Sorry for bumping an old thread, but it came to mind after answering a question on Quora over whether modern Egyptians were predominantly descended from the ancient indigenous population. [IMG]http://i58.tinypic.com/9rqdg4.jpg[/IMG] ---[URL=http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0047765]Source[/URL] Anyone who maintains that modern Egyptians are predominantly descended from some indigenous "North African Caucasoid" population will have to explain why the two largest components in Egyptian ancestry today show affinities with Europeans (blue) and Arabs (green). There [i]is[/i] some ancestry with a Maghrebi (red) affinity (which we know has Eurasian influence), but in this particular graph it's barely thicker than the Luhya-like African (yellow) component. So even if one felt that AE ancestry would be best represented by the red Maghrebi-like component, it's clearly a minority in modern Egyptian ancestry. [/QB][/QUOTE]
