[QUOTE]Originally posted by Fourty2Tribes: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: No one is talking about the Horn, except as a useful proxy in a global context. But when you zoom in and look at the region, the Horn lags behind also when compared to ancient Nubians.[/QUOTE]Ancient Nubian what? STRs? [QUOTE] The pharaonic STRs have a global distribution unlike SSA-specific STR alleles. DNA consultants' "rare genes" from SSA are confined to single regions. In this regard they differ from the pharaonic alleles. The global distribution of the pharaonic alleles obviously means that they were once abundant in North Africa. Instead, people exploit the fact that North Africa is admixed today. [/QUOTE]Which goes back to Dwarves and San being a part of the ancient Sahara and modern SSA. It explains some or most of the STR results some or most of the “rare genes” and the low STR scores. [QUOTE] Note also that Mota was said to have Pygmy ancestry. Closer inspection reveals that it isn't even Pygmy ancestry. It's simply 'shared' with Pygmies. How do you know the same thing doesn't apply here? DNA Tribes never accounted for these effects. In the end, this doesn't really matter, because you'd still have to explain why the skeletal remains point in the other direction. We're supposed to reconcile all the data. A literal interpretation of DNA Tribes requires one to ignore >90% of all the available data.[/QUOTE]You should rephrase that as DNA Tribes and DNA Consultants. What is a literal interpretation? Tribes's test focuses most heavily on what the ancestry mostly is. The fact that they still had some non-African MLI scores is telling. In that sense I see what you might mean by a literal interpretation? [/QB][/QUOTE]
