[QUOTE]Originally posted by beyoku: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Oshun: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by beyoku: [qb]The idea that this paper would be a "game changer" was based upon the teaser that would would have 91 autosomal genomes giving us a near 3000 year view of Egyptian history with the addition of modern samples. 91 nuclear genomes didn't come to fruition, we got 3........only three. There is not too much we can say based on three. I can say that analysis iof what we do have in terms of Eurasian ancient DNA still leaves much to be desired in the community and my criticisms there still stand. [/qb][/QUOTE]I'm no genetic expert, so what would 91 nuclear genomes have provided that 90 mitochondrial genomes do not? [/qb][/QUOTE][URL=https://www.nature.com/article-assets/npg/ncomms/2017/170530/ncomms15694/images/w582/ncomms15694-f4.jpg]YOu can take a look at the Samples here[/URL] There are 3 "Ancient Egyptians". All 3 look to be a combination of the Brown component that peaks in Natufian. Followed by the Blue that peaks in Anatolia Neolithic....and lastly the light Blue of Iran Neolithic. Each one of those Bars is ONE sample. There are 3 Samples total. IF we had 90 mummies you would have 90 bars and in essence you could see what type of variability would be found. [URL=https://www.nature.com/article-assets/npg/ncomms/2017/170530/ncomms15694/extref/ncomms15694-s6.pdf]For instance of you look at the Supp file. [/URL] Take a look at the Nama or the Hadza. They show a bit of diversity between individuals. With some being total "Hadza" while others sporting Yoruban and Natufian components. On the other hand there is virtually little variation in the Somali sample. 90 Mummies over a 2000-3000 year history could show a gradual change and the increase or decrease of certain components. We dont really get that becuase we only have 3 Autosomal components. Another thing that could have happened wiht 90+ Autosomes...or even 10 is that they would have created their own component. I doubt it with samples this late but its a possibility. [/QB][/QUOTE]
