[QUOTE]Originally posted by Elite Diasporan: [QB] Decided to create this thread here because on that other site some of us always get trolled, our posts deleted and even the thread closed. Fellow poster Tyrannohotep tried making a thread discussing this but he and his thread got trolled. First, I want to say that anything off topic will NOT be tolerated. I feel this is a serious topic where we should finally have peace of discussion on it. Anyways if you guys been following the recent discussions on here and on Forumbiodiversity then you know of the huge craze the Natufians, Ancient Moroccan DNA, Proto-Semitic and finally the existence of an indignous North African component that is NOT "Sub Saharan African" nor "Eurasian." The whole thing seemed to have started with the Natufians showing significant E lineages. But according to the author of that study the Natufians had little to no SSA admixture. Things then got even more crazy with the Abusir mummy study. To summarize basically, people who are against African people and ancestry in MENA believe there is no such thing as a indignous North African component. They view "African" synonymous with "Sub Saharan African." When they see no Sub Saharan admixture in the Natufians they then conclude that the Natufians had no African ancestry(when they had significant E lineages). Them not concluding that an indignous North African component exists hurts their arguments in the long run imo. But what is an indignous North African component? To me... The IAM population answers that. To me an North African component would be one indignous to North Africa(and intermediate between SSA and Eurasia). The Ancient Egyptians most likely had this type of ancestry. However, people on the anti-African side can't grasp this. When that Moroccan study came out and showed the IAM population having an component specific to North Africa it seems those same people could not grasp it. A "North African" component can only either be back migration Eurasian or SSA. That Ancient Moroccan DNA study imo crucially hurt them. Because it in way confirmed that if such component DOES exist then the Natufians(or at least their ancestors) would have been largely of this type of component too! I mean the Natufians largely carry E lineages that are "North African like." But another reason why there is so much kneejerk reactions among the anti-African crowd is because if the Natufians had this type of component then what does this mean for the area of the Levant? That area which they want to keep as purely "Eurasian" as possible. What does this mean for proto-Semitic speakers? PS: Sorry if I went in circles a bit and the grammar. Typed this up on my phone.
