[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] @Fourty2Tribes This is the 2nd time you dodged the challenge to give an example of the aforementioned hypothetical SSA population. Why, if such a SSA population supposedly exists? What you did post yesterday proves my point and bears little resemblance to DNA Tribes analyses of the pharaonic alleles (if one takes the analyses literally): [i]Today, ["Thuya's gene"] highest incidence is [b]in Somalians at nearly 50%. It is found in 40% of Muslim Egyptians.[/b][/i] [i]Today, ["Akhenaten's gene"] is the gene type [b]carried by a majority (52%) of the Copts living in the Pre-dynastic site of Adaima near Thebes[/b] or Luxor and the Valley of the Kings on the Nile River in Upper (southern) Egypt.[/i] DNA Tribes analysis is popular in some circles because it's an unfair analysis where North African samples with good MLI scores are obscured and pooled with North African (and Levantine) samples with lower MLI scores. Also, all of these North African samples are admixed and so of course they're going to perform poorly as a pooled region compared to other African regions. The lower MLI scores of North Africa's pooled regions could be mostly be a function of dramatic population change in North Africa, not a lack of relatedness. And DNA Tribes never intended for their analysis to be taken literally. They never said that these alleles are transplants from their Great Lakes and South Africa regions. So, again, who is supporting this narrative other than those here who want it to be true? Who are your views represented by in the academic world in terms of reputable names? We're not supposed to be putting our own stamp of approval on things. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Fourty2Tribes: My top MLI score was New Providence Bahamas at over 2 million. My highest ethnic group was Ovambo in Namibia at 700K. My highest score in Europe was Portugal at 24. And get this. Yoruba was 0. I have seen African Americans score in the millions with Yoruba and I was 0. San was 0.01 and Yoruba was ass zilch. I had a problem with Yoruba's use as the defacto Sub-Saharan before...[/QUOTE]I know this. I have discussed this in the 'black' thread you also participated in. Beyoku has also made this point countless times. So why take such blatantly crude (meaning, that it may need a lot of analysis and explanation before it can make sense) results at face value in the case of the pharaonic alleles? [/QB][/QUOTE]
