[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Thereal: -Copts are ~70% european.... not Eurasian....European that is interesting as from what I've gathered from here the original Copts are a African group that becamed mixed with Europeans in ancient so what is to be made of the "Eurasian" admixture? [/QUOTE]. . why are you just mentioning the Copts? It says Egyptians - 70.65% European ancestry Copts - 69.54% European ancestry [QUOTE] A formal test (D(Juhoansi,X;Egypt,Copt)), did not find significant admixture into the Egyptians from other tested groups (X) as the explanation of the (admittedly low level of) differentiation between the two groups, and [b]the Copts and Egyptians displayed similar levels of European or Middle Eastern ancestry (S8A and S8B Fig).[/b] Our results instead indicate that they are an admixed population of at least one sub-Saharan population and one Eurasian population, but had subsequent admixture with additional groups. The population tree that has the most support finds the Nuer (Nilotic) as an outgroup to the Bedouin and Copts (D(Juhoansi,Nuer;Bedouin,Copts) = 0.0103, Z = 5.550). [b]The Copts were estimated to be of 69.54% +/- 2.57 European ancestry and the Egyptians of 70.65% +/- 2.47 European ancestry [/b] [/QUOTE][/qb][/QUOTE]Forgive me for I haven't read the study in detail yet but how does this fit with the [i]Nature[/i] study on the Abusir mummies? According to the latter modern Egyptians are more sub-Saharan tha the ancients. [/QB][/QUOTE]
