Ancient Egyptians DNA is Less Sub Saharan than modern Egyptian DNA.

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] @Oshun I don't think you read that first quote correctly. What I said was that there is a limit on how much SSA ancestry can be in the early ancestors of later Egyptians as shown by Natufians and all later farmers. The ratio of SSA to North African is too low in all cases. This does not rhyme with your interpretation that a thorough removal of external influences would leave abundant SSA ancestry in the dynastic Egyptian Nile Valley. But we don't have to debate this. That was just one critical note I had. It has not been proven that Pagani's Egyptian and Ethiopian masked genomes represent a "thorough removal" of external influences. This is because Egyptian outmigrations captured in Bronze Age and Neolithic DNA from the Mediterranean look different from Pagani et al's masked genomes. And people who take DNA Tribes literally so far have not accounted for these differences. http://www.pnas.org/content/113/25/6886/F3.large.jpg ^These ancient genomes (large piecharts) contain plenty of ancient Egyptian ancestry, but seemingly not a lot of YRI (as shown by their seeming lack of blue contributions). Contrast this with the modern genomes from the same regions (small piecharts) which contain plenty of blue YRI. This supports what the abstract in the OP of this thread says. There were post-Roman increases in levels of SSA ancestry that weren't there before in the Bronze Age Egyptian population. Or at least, these increases of SSA ancestry might have been there, but weren't well-distributed enough to accompany Egyptians during migrations out of Africa. [/QB][/QUOTE]
