[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ish Gebor: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Tukuler: [qb] No idea when the data'll be published and available beyond screenshots of a slide presentation by an attendee, but here is the abstract for the next conference presentation. , [QUOTE] The 86th Annual Meeting of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists (2017) Programs > 2017 > Podium Session > Podium Abstract Ancient Egyptian mummy genomes suggest an increase of Sub-Saharan African ancestry in post-Roman periods VERENA J. SCHUENEMANN1,2, ALEXANDER PELTZER3,4, WOLFGANG HAAK4, STEPHAN SCHIFFELS4 and JOHANNES KRAUSE1,4. 1Archaeo- and Paleogenetics, Institute for Archaeological Sciences, University of Tuebingen, 2Senckenberg Center for Human Evolution and Paleoenvironment, University of Tuebingen, 3Integrative Transcriptomics, Center for Bioinformatics, University of Tuebingen, 4Department for Archaeogenetics, Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History April 20, 2017 9:45, Balcony I/J Egypt, located on the isthmus of Africa, is an ideal region to study historical population dynamics due to its geographic location and documented interactions with ancient civilizations in Africa, Asia, and Europe. Particularly, in the first millennium BCE, Egypt endured foreign domination leading to growing numbers of foreigners living within its borders possibly contributing genetically to the local population. However, methodological problems and contamination obstacles have hitherto hampered direct investigations of ancient Egypt’s population history using ancient human DNA. Here we present mtDNA and nuclear DNA from mummified humans from Middle Egypt recovered with High-throughput sequencing methods that span around 1,300 years of ancient Egyptian history from the Third Intermediate to the Roman Period. Our analyses reveal that ancient Egyptians shared more ancestry with Near Eastern populations than present-day Egyptians, who admixed with Sub-Saharan populations in more recent times. This analysis establishes ancient Egyptian mummies as a genetic source to study ancient human history and opens the perspective of deciphering Egypt’s past at a genome-wide level. [/QUOTE]Once it's officially published in a journal this data may help pin point origins of the folk that africentric Chancellor Williams, and others, long ago told us increasingly came to be the new breed majority population of Egypt before the Christian era. The nationalized non-founder Egyptians from Levantine and Arabian peninsula parentage are pretty much known from history and are even shown in the art as Egyptians. I'd think most of them originate from immigrants looking for a better life in the then 1st World economy of Egypt. Sure many came in a burst during invasion or conquest but I think most were from a continuous trickle going back to pre-dynasty days. AE records show them everywhere in the social structure from slave to vizier. Schuenemann's data may go beyond the AE art and written docs to help ID island and north Mediterranean input and even Caucasus/Black Sea input.
