[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass/: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Punos_Rey: [qb] Cass and the other Klannites can rejoice if similar results appear for the Predynasyic/Old Kingdom aDna. I don't see any reason to be *shook* by this or believe it to be a "worst case scenario". Especially considering this period also correlates with the onset of massive Eurasian backflow. [/qb][/QUOTE]I'm not arguing for strong Levant/south-west Asian ties, but strong regional continuity in Egypt. The PCA shows ancient Egyptians are somewhat (though not massively) distant to modern Egyptians, which is a surprise to me, however although I cannot see the PCA plot clear enough because it is a blur - the closest match to the ancient samples could be with modern Copts. If so, this study still supports strong Egyptian regional continuity since the Copts are an Egyptian sub-population. Because Copts are an ethno-religious group they might plot closer than the rest of ethnic Egyptians because of their more strict endogamy that has maintained closer biological ties to the ancients. That Copts = the closest population to resemble ancient Egyptians is what old posters like Rahotep on this forum argued here 5+ years ago and I adopted this position in 2013. Regardless, the mtDNA data/image that is not blurry shows "substantial continuity" between pre-Ptolemaic and Ptolemaic Egyptians as I predicted. [/QB][/QUOTE]
