[QUOTE]Originally posted by Elite Diasporan: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by sudaniya: I think the genetic affinities of the ancient Egyptians is of far more importance to the "anti-African side" than the implications for Pro-Semitic. I still don't even know what to make of the Abusir study. It seems to be in opposition to all the archaeological and anthropological evidence and is sourced from late dynastic Northern samples whose identities we have not been made aware of. In the very unlikely event that DNA testing is done on Narmer, Thutmose II, Senusret I, Huni, Teti, Pepi II, Akhenaten, Amenhotep II, Mentuhotep II, Sahure, Djoser, Ahmose I, Queen Tiye and more, I don't expect them to resemble these Abusir mummies. [b]The Hyksos invaded Egypt around 1600 BC and the Canaanites and their settlements preceded them in the North and the Delta. Asiatic Semites apparently starting pouring into Northern Egypt when Egypt was in the throes of a debilitating and widespread famine and weak central governance around the time of the 12th dynasty [1800 BC] and their [Asiatic] rule was only completely overturned just before the 18th dynasty.[/b] [/QUOTE]Nah, proto-Semitic is just as important to them or more considering many of them are of Near Eastern descent. Also, the bolded shows that the Abusir study is not in opposition to anthropological or archaeological evidence. The question just is what will Upper Egyptian results tell us, but more importantly how widespread was this North African component. [QUOTE]Originally posted by capra: I am just going to wait for the North African paper and genomes to come out. I hope they do turn out to have a nice, distinct, easily-analyzed North African component, but from the limited analysis they did so far it isn't clear to me what we'll end up finding.[/QUOTE]Yeah I been hearing about that paper. Do you have any details on what its going to be about? I.e which location in North Africa? [/QB][/QUOTE]
