[QUOTE]Originally posted by -Just Call Me Jari-: [QB] Thats the interesting part, and what we have been speculating on. The Pan-Africans are breathing a sigh of relief but it is still interesting that Modern Egyptians are more SSA than these Ancient samples, that the 3 ancient Samples cluster together AND cluster closer to the modern Levantine/Middle East samples. [QUOTE]We found the ancient Egyptian samples falling distinct from modern Egyptians, and closer towards Near Eastern and European samples[/QUOTE]and [QUOTE]n contrast, modern Egyptians are shifted towards sub-Saharan African populations. Model-based clustering using ADMIXTURE37 (Fig. 4b, Supplementary Fig. 4) further supports these results and reveals that the three ancient Egyptians differ from modern Egyptians by a relatively larger Near Eastern genetic component, in particular a component found in Neolithic Levantine ancient individuals36 (Fig. 4b). In contrast, a substantially larger sub-Saharan African component, found primarily in West-African Yoruba, is seen in modern Egyptians compared to the ancient samples[/QUOTE]Though the study does make it clear this is just ONE section of Egypt and that the Southern Egyptians should/could have more ancient and continuous SSA Gene Flow from Nubians/Nilo-Saharans. I suspect Southern Egyptians will resemble Ramses III and the Armarna Samples tbh. This is an interesting find [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: How would you reconcile a reading of 6-15% SSA ancestry in Abusir mummies with figure 5c? The [qb]latter says that modern Egyptians differ from Abusir mummies in terms of their SSA ancestry. [/qb][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
