[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass/: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Ish Gebor: But what the pie shows is what we have been talking about on Egyptsearch. Indigenous Africans with admixture. And the more to the South the lesser. [/QB][/QUOTE]Except the 68% is calculated for the whole of Egypt since they're using samples from all over the country. Presumably Lower Egyptians would be somewhat lower (60%), and Upper Egyptians somewhat higher (75%). Afrocentrists were never arguing for as high as 60% genetic continuity in Lower Egypt. Just go read Zaharan, Amun Ra's etc posts. They were spamming a study at one point arguing modern Egyptians are only 20% North African (based on a limited sample) and they made dozens of posts on "cosmopolitan Lower Egypt" arguing for virtually no to minimal continuity there, but a massive influx of foreigners, population-replacement or large-scale mixing. The reason Afrocentrists are/were (since they've now been falsified) saying modern Egyptians, mostly Lower Egyptians are non-native, is because many Lower Egyptians don't look "black" - these lighter skinned predominant "Caucasoid"-looking peoples pose a problem to their political "Black Egypt" theory, hence they tried to exclude them.
