[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: One may ask what exactly is the nature of this "North African" ancestry as opposed to "Sub-Saharan"?? For example, here are Y-DNA haplogroups in Egypt continuous with Sub-Sahara: [/QUOTE]that is a separate issue. Look at my previous post in terms of African vs. Arab as per Modern Egyptians. By this analysis one could conclude they are 65+ African uniparentally with the YDNA carrying more of the African ancestry than the mtDNA Thus not primarily Arab But are about 30% YDNA J1/J2 according to journal articles on the chart. That could be regarded as Arabian/Levantine The chart at the top could be more current though. They say 17% Arab and if you looked at various small slices of the pie there are several other haplogroups at smaller percentages corresponding to hap T and several other groups that add up. A separate topic could be "Is there such thing as African DNA that is Norther African?" Somebody might say E-M81 and U6 But the point of the OP articles is that modern Egyptians are primarily native to Africa, not primarily Arab "foreigners" [IMG]https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/624/cpsprodpb/0C34/production/_106442130_gettyimages-1062443890.jpg[/IMG] [/QB][/QUOTE]
