[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Nodnarb: [qb] @ Swenet Basically I cited Pagani et al not for the masking stuff but to back up my suggestion that there would be an indigenous African element in AE that would look pre-OOA rather than stereotypically equatorial African (what you and others would call SSA). Sarko seems to acknowledge the possibility that "Basal Eurasian" split off from proper Eurasian ancestry while still in Africa, but given his expectation of significant WHG ancestry in early dynastic Egyptians, I am less confident he's open to our point of view. [/qb][/QUOTE]Dynastic AE [i]did[/i] change over time and was surrounded by EEF-like groups (or let me say ENF-like groups to get rid of the European connotation). If he means that WHG would have come as part of ENF-like populations I don't necessarily disagree with him because WHG (or some other HG component) is naturally built into all ENF genomes given their origins as partially North African and partially local HG. If he means that there would have been additional WHG on top of that, that seems uncalled for. Northeast Africans, even highly admixed Ethio-Semitic speakers, have very little WHG independent of their ENF-like ancestry. Some U6 carrying West Africans might have more WHG than northeast Africans via Afalou and Taforalt-like groups. You can still see WHG-like ancestry in Northwest Africans. For instance, the black Loschbour component here: http://www.pnas.org/content/113/25/6886/F3.large.jpg Note that there is very little of it even in modern Egypt. I think if dynastic AE have had it, it would have come from the Maghreb, not Europe or as part of some population replacement or colonization as he seems to hint at when he says modern Egyptians are at least 80% Eurasian.
