[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass/: [QB] Individuals overlap, yes, but AE plot [i]average[/i] between their northern and southern neighbours in pigmentation. Afrocentrists are in denial of basic facts like these. Anyway, on the subject of DNA since pigmentation is hardly relevant (I only mentioned it to show Keita has made errors, so when he says the Levant Proto-Afro-Asiatic theory is discredited, he's talking more nonsense), the only person I have discovered on a forum discussing the relevancy of Proto-Afro-Asiatic to these DNA results is the admin at Forumbiodiversity: EliasAlucard. Although I don't agree with him on everything, Elias is clever with linguistics. The PCA is the best evidence for old Egyptian-Levant population structure i.e. Proto-Afro-Asiatic. I'm sure when these results are published in full, there will be a lot more discussion on this. http://www.forumbiodiversity.com/showthread.php/47798-Ancient-Egyptian-Mummy-Genomes/page6 Question is how to reconcile this with the clinal/IBD data. I think that can be done, it will just be reversing Keita's theory of a southern Egyptian origin with micro-evolutionary differentiation ("Egyptians... micro-differentiation from a common African (tropically adapted) ancestral population" Keita, 1993) so it would be a northern origin for Egyptians (from Levant) with micro-evolutionary differentiation. Take into account the Proto-Afro-Asiatic homeland could be as old as 20,000 BP; Afro-Asiatic speakers could have migrated into Egypt from the Epipalaeolithic. Archaeologists and anthropologists have only falsified more recent large-scale movements into Egypt, none of them test Epipalaeolithic. [/QB][/QUOTE]
