[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Elmaestro: [qb] ^Didn't you check out the link to eupedia Lioness posted?? it seems there are people out there whom believe Hg E Is in fact Eurasian as well!! lol... though She/he/it was right, there were some interesting commentary on this article. [/qb][/QUOTE]Even mainstream geneticists have come to the consensus that hg E-M96 most likely arose in Africa especially since its ancestral clade DE* was found mainly in West African populations. Even if one were to go with the hypothesis that E arose in Eurasia, it would have risen somewhere in Southwest Asia around the the time of the first major OOA event and then immediately migrated right back to Africa where it expanded and diversified. [b]LOL[/b] Even if one were to go by this more convoluted path, I doubt these back-migrating 'Eurasians' would have been any different from their African kin whom they only recently separated from only to rejoin! Getting back to the topic, I fail to see how hg R (V88 or otherwise) in Chad has anything to do with Chadic language. [i]"It is possible from this overview of the data to conclude that the limited conceptual vocabulary shared by the ancestors of contemporary Chadic-speakers (therefore also contemporary Cushitic-speakers), contemporary Nilotic-speakers and Ancient Egyptian-speakers suggests that the earliest speakers of the Egyptian language could be located to the south of Upper Egypt (Diakonoff 1998) or, earlier, in the Sahara (Wendorf 2004), where Takács (1999, 47) suggests their ‘long co-existence’ can be found. In addition, it is consistent with this view to suggest that the northern border of their homeland was further than the Wadi Howar proposed by Blench (1999, 2001), which is actually its southern border.[b] Neither Chadics nor Cushitics existed at this time, but their ancestors lived in a homeland further north than the peripheral countries that they inhabited thereafter, to the south-west, in a Niger-Congo environment, and to the south-east, in a Nilo-Saharan environment, where they interacted and innovated in terms of language. From this perspective, the Upper Egyptian cultures were an ancient North East African ‘periphery at the crossroads’, as suggested by Dahl and Hjort-af-Ornas of the Beja (Dahl and Hjort-af-Ornas 2006).[/b] The most likely scenario could be this: some of these Saharo-Nubian populations spread southwards to Wadi Howar, Ennedi and Darfur; some stayed in the actual oases where they joined the inhabitants; and others moved towards the Nile, directed by two geographic obstacles, the western Great Sand Sea and the southern Rock Belt. Their slow perambulations led them from the area of Sprinkle Mountain (Gebel Uweinat) to the east – Bir Sahara, Nabta Playa, Gebel Ramlah, and Nekhen/Hierakonpolis (Upper Egypt), and to the north-east by way of Dakhla Oasis to Abydos (Middle Egypt).[/i]"--Anselin (2009) [/QB][/QUOTE]
