[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by sudaniya: [QB] [QUOTE]Game over. (Substantial SSA component in Gebel Ramlah population doesn't help it score better [on average] than the 'Greek immigrant' sample. As with the recently sampled Natufian sample, samples with more SSA ancestry than a certain amount don't score better [e.g. Bedouin B with more SSA ancestry isn't closer to these Natufians than Bedouin A]). [/QUOTE]So Neolithic (6500 BC) ancient Lower 'Nubians' in Gebel Ramlah were apparently somehow 'identical' to Greek Egyptians based on the dental data and yet "significantly different" from Badari? This MMD distance matrix data should be approached with caution. Mahalanobis Distance statistic seems to be regarded as more reliable. [/QUOTE]Reread the part of my post you quoted. It says the Gebel Ramlah sample has substantial SSA ancestry, not that it is identical to the 'Greek' sample. The 'identical' part only refers to how distant they both are to the Egyptian centroid. The 'Greek' Egyptian and Gebel Ramlah samples are equidistant to this centroid. However, the Gebel Ramlah gravitates more to SSA samples (and early Upper Egyptian samples), while the 'Greek' sample gravitates more to Europeans. [/QB][/QUOTE]
