[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ceasar: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by sudaniya: [qb] I'm trying to understand this SSA thing. Are they including the genetic profile of North Sudan and the other people in Northeast Africa under this SSA umbrella or are they talking about the genetic profile of Bantus? I would understand if they are saying that there are more genetic markers associated with the Bantu in modern Egypt than there was in ancient times, but if they are saying that there more genetic markers associated with Northeast Africans in modern Egypt than there was in ancient times, then it would not make any sense -- especially if they are saying that these assessed mummies are actually ethnic ancient Egyptians. [/qb][/QUOTE]This ancient Egyptian sample is probably like the recent Tunisian sample in that it shows that some North African samples can be largely devoid of SSA ancestry, while still carrying substantial ancestry that is deeply rooted in North Africa(n populations). In other words, the authors of the Egyptian aDNA paper aren't saying anything new. The Tunisian sample below maintains a degree of distance from Eurasians while, at the same time, showing little evidence of SSA admixture (the red lines go from the Yoruban sample to most North African populations, but not to the Tunisians). Obviously, there is some African ancestry that is unaccounted for in the Tunisian sample. And the Egyptian mummies will show the same thing, despite their apparently low SSA ancestry. [IMG]https://snag.gy/2xB8Nu.jpg[/IMG] [/qb][/QUOTE]I am sort of confused about this chart. I have read papers that suggest that Basal Eurasians have no affinity to sub-Saharan Africans. The Tunisian sample seems a-lot closer to Yoruba than the other Eurasians are. If you are saying this Tunisian has alot of indigenous north African ancestry, how can basal eurasian not have any affinty to SSA (compared to eurasian dna) when it is a-lot closer then the other Eurasians with more SSA. It seems to conflict with the Fst chart concerning the nafutians that you posted on a previous page. I like to stop by here once in a blue moon to check out AE. Its the same peopl fighting each other lol. I don't think we can speculate too much on these results to much until the paper comes out. How many mummies did they use? One thingfor sure is that there not SSA. All these questions that people have can be resolved by studying predynastic automsomal egyptian dna. I would be very surprised if they (pre-dyn southern egyptians) have no SSA. Especially when they seem to be morphologically similar with known SSA rich populations. [/QB][/QUOTE]
