[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass/: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by sudaniya: [qb] Considering that the Nilotic tribes like the Dinka, Nuer, Chollo and Anyuak use to live in North Sudan until very recently [13th century for the Dinka], I suppose the troll would agree that the Dinka are genetically closer to the ancient Egyptians than the Slavs using his geography criteria. [/qb][/QUOTE]Just read any encyclopaedia and they state the ethno-genesis of all those ethnic groups/tribes was in southern Sudan. No doubt you will come back with some pseudo-historical Afrocentrist source saying otherwise. What genetics has shown for living Sudanese populations is geography is fairly strongly correlated with genetics. The "Negroid"-looking Sudanese from the southern Sudan (most from the far south; Republic of South Sudan) like Dinka, Shilluk and Nuer plot one extreme, furthest away from the more "Caucasoid" looking Nubians and Sudanese Arabs (although I would not call these "Caucasoid" proper, they just look less "Negroid" hence old anthropologists thought they were hybrids - I do not claim the latter since I re-interpret the data in a clinal context that takes into account genetic drift and selection, not solely gene flow), with central Sudanese populations filling the intermediate spaces. The following 2011 study found geographical distance explains the largest percentage of genetic variation between ethnic groups in Sudan (52%), although they note this should be even higher since they included a population outlier to Sudan, i.e. Somalis; regardless linguistics/culture only accounted for 21%, minor fraction of the genetic variation: [IMG]http://i63.tinypic.com/1rdpo7.png[/IMG] https://investigativegenetics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/2041-2223-2-12 "For the genetic variation between groups, only a fraction of it could be attributed to the linguistic differences between groups (0.21%) or to the geographic distance between the locations of the groups (0.52%). However, at least within Sudan, [b]geography plays a more important role in causing genetic differences between groups compared with the influence of language[/b]... the Somali population is separated both geographically and linguistically from the other populations included in our study, it is not surprising that it is also genetically distinct."
