[QUOTE]Originally posted by Oshun: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass/: [qb] How much percentage of south Levantine ancestry are you saying accumulated in north Egyptians? For south Levantine ancestry to accumulate in north Egyptians to the extent it is as high as 80%: the south Levant population size would have to be a lot larger than north Egyptian.[/qb][/QUOTE]-But what was the Levanite population (north and south)? - Egyptian contact with the east extended as far as Syria. We do not have to limit population inflow to the southern Levant. How much ancestry to the East contributed to the North is not something I'm certain of at this time. Right now I'm merely trying to establish what data I need to review for this theory. Though I do not expect a complete replacement (which means 3-5% may indeed be too large a threshold), I anticipate there to still be North East African lineages. I also have concern for the labeling of "SSA" contributions to the North. Yes it could've came from Africa, but those genetic lineages were also in the Middle East. This could mean that the composition of the people didn't change much at all. How will the author distinguish the direction? Though I do not deny that it is possible "SSA" could've came from SSA influences could've likely came by way of southern Egypt. Regardless of your theory (indigenous SSA ancestry from native southern Egyptians or foreign SSA), it probably came from the direction of the south. Well... that is if Africans were the source of it.
