[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] @BBH I agree with the gist of what he's saying, but I think he's using the wrong examples. As I've said before, the best place to look for the African ancestry that is in the Abusir mummies, is the recently sequenced Natufians. And if that's accurate, we can simply defer to Lazaridis et al 2016 and see how Gihanga's examples (e.g. Mota) fared there. Mota did not outperform the other samples from SSA in terms of closeness to Natufians. I'm still not clear on the source of the African ancestry that is in these mummies. How does Gihanga know it's (all) Sub-Saharan African? Fig 4 shows no SSA ancestry in the Abusir mummies. Moreover, modern Egyptians are distant from the Abusir mummies precisely [b]BECAUSE[/b] of their recent increase in SSA ancestry. If the source of African ancestry is the same in modern Egyptians and Abusir mummies, why aren't they closer autosomally? [/QB][/QUOTE]
