[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] We're going in circles. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Fourty2Tribes: If more than 0.5% of African Americans have the genes found in three royals and one in modern Egyptians then we are talking about 500K people in a portion of the west African region which would strongly suggest that Central and Southern Africa have much more and that and these genes are old enough to predate most ethnic groups.[/QUOTE]As I've already pointed out, your own source (DNAconsultants) has the frequency of the Thuya and Akhenaten "genes" higher in Egypt and Somalia than anywhere else. So why even still bring up what DNAconsultant says about African Americans' frequency at this point? Why does it make sense to you to still bring up a lower frequency as evidence of what you're saying when your source says the peaks are in northeast Africa? There are southern and Central Africans in DNAconsultants' database and they are mentioned in your own quotes from DNAconsultants as having lower frequencies. So why speculate about southern and Central Africans having "much more of these genes"? This is wishful thinking. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Fourty2Tribes: How do you determine predominant ancestry and how many alleles are those matches based on?[/QUOTE]Look at the list. Living Egyptians and Somalis have ancestry in common and the Somali, Adaima Muslims and Upper Egyptians are at the top of the list. What more is there to say? By contrast, The Ovambo and Tanzanian samples are outscored by highly admixed Egyptian Muslims from Adaima. Even though there is no non African ancestry hampering their ability to score well (as is the case in the North African samples), Ovambo and Tanzanians barely outscore the Coptic, Greek and Moroccan samples. The Somali sample outscores samples with such mediocre scores with more than a full point. Very suspect if the pharaonic alleles are supposed to match DNA that is in DNA Tribes Great Lakes and South Africa regions. There is obviously a trend in that list, which is also reflected in the fact that Thuya's and Akhenaten's "rare genes" have a completely different distribution than the "rare genes" from SSA: [QUOTE][b]One in 9 Hutus have [the Kilimanjaro "rare gene"], whereas on the opposite end of the range it is found in only 1 in 3333 Greek Cypriots. It is practically absent[/b] in Central Asia, [b]the Mediterranean, Middle East[/b] and Far East. Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and dominates the Great Rift Valley, the volcanic fault line believed to mark humanity’s earliest home. The Kilimanjaro gene has a frequency of about 6% in Africans (slightly less in African Americans).[/QUOTE]Nothing here says that the Ovambo and Tanzanians are anything like the Amarna family as suggested by your interpretation of DNA Tribes. At best they are more "Amarna" than Greeks and [b]some[/b] thoroughly admixed North Africans at this level of resolution. [/QB][/QUOTE]
