[QUOTE]Originally posted by Fourty2Tribes: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: 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?[/QUOTE]I answered the question. Almost a million African Americans. These might not be populations anymore. Its millions of people around the world with the highest populations of people who share all the genes living in the areas that score the highest. [QUOTE] 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):[/QUOTE]Its not supposed to. My highest ethnic groups were Ovambo, Fang and Ashanti. Actually Fang is probably the highest because it rates Guinea twice before Ovambo. Even if the majority of the Ashanti migrated from the Nile Valley (as they say) it would not make ancient Egyptians modern Ashanti anymore than the ratios already suggest. It is interesting that the Ovambo have similar ratios. http://www.dnatribes.com/sample-results/dnatribes-sample-hutu-rwanda.pdf Points towards a common ancestry among ancient Nilotes and Lakers. [QUOTE] [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]Its not a matter of what anyone wants to be true. Dnatribes's data says what it does and Consultants explains the whys. If you have a problem with it then start with this missing data that Tukuler is talking about. I think you might have a point there. That syncs better than using one gene that is 50% in Somali and Coptic as a Red Herring. It does not change the fact that the majority of the people who have all of the genes Consultant's analyzed are scattered around the world with highest frequencies of people who share in all of them located in the areas with the highest MLI. That to me is a literal interpretation. I doubt that all of these genes were shared by the Amarna themselves considering how much their scores verified in totals and how some of them like Amenhotep iii had foreign wives. I'm not ready to say that North Africa is treated unfairly. Modern Egypt has the second highest population in Africa and its heavily tested. I would think Upper Egypt would do better in a higher res SNP test that pulls some of those scattered Euro genes to North African populations like Upper Egypt Copts. The same could be said for tribes like the Ashanti, Kalenjin the Ngunis or any tribe that traces their history to the Nile. The fact that the Egyptian government keeps saying this and not demonstrating it keeps me on the fence until I see some evidence. . [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]I need some clarity on what you mean by literal. What context is missing? Even though I would love to buy a wand in Benin I'm not a magical negro. I'm binary af in the land of is and/or ain't. I wonder if you aren't looking at things literally enough. STR test are good at telling what people mostly are and what they arent. Consultant's explains how it did and why the numbers are low. [/QB][/QUOTE]
