[QUOTE]Originally posted by sudaniya: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by beyoku: [qb] ^ OK but i dont think anyone would have argued those northerners would have been that little in mtdna L. No if the southerners ALSO come up that way THEN what are we going to say? Does it make sense that if the Northern mtdna was lacking in L the SOuthern Mtdna would ALSO have less L than then todays folks? [/qb][/QUOTE]I definitely concede that these results are a little surprising, but I do want to wait for results from Upper Egypt before treating relatively late period samples from a region that has been subject to incursions from the Levant from almost the very beginning, as representative. We know that ancient Egyptian rulers struggled mightily with keeping hostile Asiatics out all throughout the dynastic period, and that incursions that started out as a drip became a far more significant stream under the aegis of the Ptolemies through to the Roman period. Even before this period, the ancient Egyptians also naturalised Asiatics and allowed them to serve as soldiers and scribes. Asiatics formed almost two thirds of its armed force in later periods and these people would have settled closer to their point of entrance -> in or around the Delta. I will gladly update my views when data sourced from Upper Egypt with similar results is presented to us. Upper Egypt is key. It is undoubtedly the more significant region. [/QB][/QUOTE]
