[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ceasar: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by -Just Call Me Jari-: [qb] This is what Im saying, my question is who are the people/samples they are labeling SSA, are groups like the Beja and other Nubians included in these studies. Honestly if they test predynastic Lower Egyptians I wont be surprised if they turn out with Eurasian affinity in those groups, Ive believed this to be the case for a while now and its something that some folks here might have to come to terms with, but all the evidence so far for the culture of Upper Egypt is that it and her peoples stemmed from inner Africa, their DNA being Eurasian would go against the Archaeological and Linguistic evidence we have, this isnt some Afrocentrist pipe dream, most mainstream Archaeologists uphold the Green Sahran origin for A.Egypt [QUOTE]Originally posted by Ceasar: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by -Just Call Me Jari-: [qb] Now if the Ancient Upper Egyptians turn out to be Eurasian then...damn. It would certainly put a question on the Green Saharan theory, considering all the evidence it would be odd. Even then I dont see how this proves a Dynastic Race theory like some folks on ForumBio seem to suggest. These people could have been native Africans...I just dont see how they would be distinct from other Africans... [/qb][/QUOTE]I agree too.. The idea of pre-dynastic southern egyptians having no affinity to SSA groups doesn't make any sense.. especially concerning there craniofacial clustering. Look at the beja people they would be pretty close to the southern Egyptians..they have about 40-50% SSA genetics... There is alot of speculation concerning ancient migration routes, natufians etc... and I have seen many different explanations concerning these findings. Mummies from the third intermediate to later are too late to describe what the core indigenous ancestry might be. This paper hasn't even come out yet. There is a lot of speculation The only thing to do is to test pre-dynastic mummies. [/qb][/QUOTE][/qb][/QUOTE]I agree to, I do believe that southern pre-dynastic Egyptians will have Eurasian affinity. If if there isn't any admixture, I think that indigenous Saharan ancestry is on the borderline between SSA and Eurasian. Look at Mota, he isn't supposed to have any Eurasian and he pulls towards Eurasians somewhat. Saharan dna would pull more toward Eurasians then mota will. Also I these results show us that Egypt was alot more cosmopolitan then thought... although these are lower Egyptians near the late period. [/QB][/QUOTE]
