[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass/: [qb] Ok. But are you prepared to admit AE's were closer to Europeans than west sub-Saharan Africans? The same applies to most or all north Sudanese/Nubians because of closer geographical distance.[/qb][/QUOTE]Geographic distance does NOT equal genetic distance. I don't know how many times this has been explained to you. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass:[qb] As I posted in my first thread: a prediction of the isolation-by-distance model in population genetics is ancient Egyptians will be closest genetically to their nearest geographical neighbours, but since Europe is smaller than Sub-Saharan Africa, that populations from Europe and east Mediterranean, will plot closer than many Sub-Saharan African populations.[/qb][/QUOTE]Size of a geographic region is a non-issue. The issue is populaition affinities based on recent ancestry as well as gene-flow. [QUOTE][qb]As expected (although I was mocked for saying this) Nubian skeletal samples from northern Sudan plot closer to Zalavar+Berg+Norse than Sub-Saharan populations such as Zulu. [IMG]https://s21.postimg.org/b1yib660n/MAP.png[/IMG] Howells, 1995- http://i62.tinypic.com/34dfn6e.jpg "Indeed, in nine cases a European population measured by Howells provided the closest match to one of the Nubian specimens studied by Williams et al. (2005)." (Bulbeck, 2011) [/qb][/QUOTE]Could you elaborate more on this? If craniometrically the Nubians align more with Europeans especially Nords then it is no surprise because Brace (1995) said the same thing and even Somalians group closer to English than 'typical' Sub-Saharan West Africans. But again, what does this have to do with genetic relations?? By the way, I notice you ignored my question as to whether you consider the Egyptians as black based on the Luschan color scheme. ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
