[QUOTE]Originally posted by BrandonP: [QB] I wonder how probable it is that we'll ever find a "pure" Afroasiatic population in the archaeological record. African Afroasiatic samples will likely have too much admixture from other African sources, whereas Asian samples will of course have genuine Eurasian admixture. It wouldn't be so bad if we could simply point to the shared ancestry between the African and Asian samples as representing that of the original Afroasiatics, but we all know the tendency in the anthro fandom has been to call that shared ancestry "Natufian" and claim that the African Afroasiatics therefore represent Natufian/sub-Saharan mixes. I suppose that, once we identify whatever Saharan refugia the Egyptians' African ancestors were hiding in during the late Pleistocene to early Holocene, we'd find skeletal remains with aDNA that represent the population we're looking for. I don't have much confidence that they'll even keep searching for those refugia, let alone get aDNA and characterize it as anything other than yet more Natufian. [/QB][/QUOTE]
