I've been saying exactly this about the ancient Egyptians, for like the past 10 years now, that they were basically Fertile Crescent folks genetically. Kiss my hairy true Afro-Asiatic ass, @Charlie Bass [/QUOTE]Its not saying what they think its saying... [/qb][/QUOTE]They sampled 155 mummies from Abusir from 1388 BC to the Roman period 366 BC, about a 1000 year span. 155 mummies over that long of a time span. Right. Really tells us a lot now. It would be better to list the DNA of individual mummies at specific time frames than to lump them all together. Not that I care about "SSA" lineages. I care more about "African" lineages vs Non African lineages. [/qb][/QUOTE]Actually it's more like 1388 BC to 426 AD. I am curious how many of the "pre-Ptolemaic" mummies were from the New Kingdom versus later periods (i.e. Third Intermediate to Late Period). I presume the paper will answer that question when it comes out. [/qb][/QUOTE]155 mummies over an almost 2000 year time span is certainly not a representative sample of ANYTHING. These folks are simply making absurd conclusions based on limited data. This is exactly what I was saying a few pages ago. [/QB][/QUOTE]
