[QUOTE]Originally posted by Fourty2Tribes: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Fourty2Tribes: Tribes's test [b]focuses most heavily on what the ancestry mostly is.[/b][/QUOTE]Then what is it? And remember, your answer has to be consistent with the global distribution of the pharaonic alleles. They are distributed from Sub Saharan Africa to all over West Eurasia. What SSA ancestry consistently has that type of affinity? The only "rare gene" from DNAconsultant that matches this affinity is the "rare gene" that peaks in Copts. Lol. See where this is going? [QUOTE]"Although not detected in the royal mummies whose DNA has been examined so far, this autosomal ancestry marker is also clearly African in origin. Today it enjoys its greatest spread in Egyptians. About 1 in 10 Africans or African Americans have it, [b]but a sharp spike occurs in Copts, today’s successor population in the Land of the Nile, where up to 27% possess it.[/b] About 7% of European Americans have it."[/QUOTE] https://dnaconsultants.com/egyptian-gene/ [/qb][/QUOTE]It says its not detected in the royal mummies. If you look at the genes that are it is consistent with the STR test. [i]One of the autosomal ancestry markers prominent in the Royal Egyptian families of the New Kingdom, this not-so-rare gene is Central African in origin and was passed to Thuya from her forebears, Queens of Upper and Lower Egypt and High Priestesses of Hathor, the Mother Goddess. Thuya passed it to her grandson Akhenaten and great-grandson Tutankhamun, among others, as documented in a forensic study of the Amarna mummies by Zahi Hawass, head of the Supreme Council of Antiquities in Cairo, in 2010. Today, its highest incidence is in Somalians at nearly 50%. It is found in 40% of Muslim Egyptians. On average, 1 in 3 Africans or African Americans carries it. It crops up in high concentrations in many places around the world such as the Basque region (41%) and in Melungeons (31%, similar to Middle Easterners), but is present at only low levels in East and South Asia, as well as Native America. Its lowest frequency is in the Chukchi of Siberia (3%)[/i] 1: Central African in origin. Found in half of Somalis, almost half of modern Egyptians, a third of African Americans Basque and Melungeons [i]Tutankhamun (also spelled Tutenkhamen) is the most famous of all pharaohs. He was the son and successor of Akhenaten, grandson of Amenhotep III and Queen Tiye and great-grandson of the royal matriarch Queen Thuya. Archeologist Howard Carter’s opening of his intact tomb in the Valley of the Kings in 1922 ranks among the most splendid discoveries of history. In 2010, genetic fingerprinting of his mummy determined that he died at the early age of 19 as the result of violence or an accident to which the incestuous relationship of his parents and several genetic defects contributed. Tutankhamun actually carries a “double dose” of the allele named for him. Like most of the other genes in the family, it is Central African in ancient origin, but unlike the other markers it has a sparse distribution outside Africa with a worldwide average frequency of 4%. Still, Africans and African-influenced populations (1 in about 10) are about twice or three times as likely to have it as non-Africans.[/i] 2: Central African in origin. In 10% of Africans. [i]Named for the pharaoh who attempted to convert Egypt to monotheism, this autosomal ancestry marker like most of the Amarna family group’s DNA is clearly African in origin. Akhenaten received it from his mother, Queen Tiye. Today, it is the gene type carried by a majority (52%) of the Copts living in the Pre-dynastic site of Adaima near Thebes or Luxor and the Valley of the Kings on the Nile River in Upper (southern) Egypt. The ancient marker makes a good showing in the Middle East and in Jews as well as parts of southern Europe close to Africa, such as southern Italy and Spain, but it is reduced to low levels in Asia and the Americas (except where brought there by Africans or people carrying some African ancestry). About 2 in 5 Africans or African Americans has it. Among Melungeons, the figure is 1 in 3.[/i] 3: African in origin. 50% of Copts in Adaima, common in west Asia, 2 in 5 African Americans. STR test do not cover admixture. The Tribes score is consistent with those relatively high European MLI scores and the populations that share European genes. The African MLI scores are consistent with Consultant's analysis. [/QB][/QUOTE]
