You can look up his ancestry components. [/qb][/QUOTE]I did. I'm not seeing any SSA elements in there. A small bit of Neanderthal (6-9%) percent and maybe some greater affinity with modern East Asians than Europeans, but I don't see how that affects him being an OOA individual with broad facial features that might [i]superficially[/i] resemble those of a "Negroid" person. [/qb][/QUOTE]TBH, I don't see a discrepancy between having little to no SSA ancestry and having broad features. After all, they are what you said they are: OOA/preOOA. A subset of early OOA groups has been described as resembling Australian Aboriginals. Seems like that variation is just built-in, along with certain other craniofacial trends. http://i56.tinypic.com/15xold2.jpg If this continues well into the early Holocene... now that may be suspicious for a region like Europe. And it also should be restricted to a subset or else it will be suspicious as well. Also, there is just broad/generalized and then there is broad, looking distinctly like having recent African ancestry. Sometimes it's very easy to tell. Oase I is the former. Some Natufians are the latter. Also, PPN have mtDNA L2 so it seems unlikely that Jericho man in the reconstruction has no SSA ancestry at all. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: I assumed you were talking about later periods because it seems quite established that Egypt had [b]SSA influences during subpluvial. There are SSA lineages in early Syrian aDNA so this is not debatable. See Oshun's thread on Fernandez 2005.[/b][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
