[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass/: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by capra: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: EEF is not really even a distinct population. It is a composite population made up of various DNA lineages, THEORIZED by some anthropologists.[/QUOTE]EEF is not theoretical; Early Neolithic European farmers are all genetically similar and come from the same roots in Turkey, having spread into the Balkans and up the Danube and along the Mediterranean coast. Some of the latter pioneers even settled in Morocco. Of course it is formed from a mixture of populations; so is everyone on the planet. [QUOTE]Wadi Kubbaniya is a good example of the early survival strategies that would identify the proto-farmers in Africa. Populations like these migrated into the Levant carrying this toolkit and helped kick start the neolithic.[/QUOTE]What were Wadi Kubbaniya people, or other Northeast Africans, doing that makes them 'proto-farmers', that other Upper Palaeolithic populations weren't doing? Obviously movement from Egypt to Levant or vice versa is plausible on geographical grounds, but what's the archaeological evidence? Not something Bar-Yosef said 30 years ago, is there anything up to date? [/qb][/QUOTE]Exactly what do you estimate EEF average in Europeans? According to Pinhasi (2012) the estimates wildly vary from 20-70%. Furthermore I got access to a paper not even yet published [I got the draft] on the genomes of Neolithic Baltics - they are 0% EEF. Some now argue that the Baltic was some sort of special "refuge" area and wasn't affected by incoming agriculturalists, like the rest. However it seems more likely EEF has been over-estimated for the whole Europe. [/QB][/QUOTE]
