[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by -Just Call Me Jari-: [qb] ^^^^ Cass,Swenet, Beyoku et al how does this prove Afroasiatic came from the Levant? People on FBD are claiming this as well [/qb][/QUOTE]I didn't even notice your question until now. It doesn't say anything about the origin of Afroasiatic. Because it is closer in time to the first Afroasiatic speakers, the recently sampled Natufians are more relevant to the first Afroasiatic speakers than dynastic Egyptians are. These Natufians already had SSA and North African ancestry, so overlooking the Natufians and using a dynastic Egyptian sample >10k years removed from the first Afroasiatic speakers to say what was and wasn't in Egypt is putting the cart before the horse. Once we have indirect aDNA evidence of the affinity of some of the ancestry that was in Egypt 10ky ago (i.e. Natufians), you can't selectively zoom into these Abusir mummies and say that what was present in Natufians somehow wasn't present in unmixed ancient Egyptians or the first Afro-Asiatic speakers.
