[QUOTE]Originally posted by xyyman: [QB] Quote: “We analyzed the genetic affinities of the Taforalt individuals by performing principal component analysis (PCA) and model-based clustering of worldwide data (Fig. 2). When pro-jected onto the top PCs of African and West Eurasian popu-lations, the [b]Taforalt individuals form a distinct cluster in an intermediate position between present-day North Africans (e.g., Amazighes (Berbers), Mozabite and Saharawi) and East Africans (e.g., Afar, Oromo and Somali) (Fig. 2A)[/b]. Consist-ently, we find that all males with sufficient nuclear DNA preservation carry [b]Y haplogroup E1b1b1a1 (M-78; table S16). [/b]This haplogroup occurs most frequently in present-day North and East African populations (18). The closely related E1b1b1b (M-123) haplogroup has been reported for Epipaleo-lithic [b]Natufians and Pre-Pottery Neolithic Levantines [/b](“Le-vant_N”) (16). [b]Unsupervised [/b]genetic clustering also suggests a connection of Taforalt to the [b]Near East[/b]. The three major components that comprise the Taforalt genomes are [b]maxim-ized[/b] in early Holocene Levantines, [b]East African hunter-gath-erer Hadza from north-central Tanzania,[/b] and West Africans (K = 10; Fig. 2B). In contrast, present-day North Africans have smaller sub-Saharan African components with minimal Hadza-related contribution (Fig. 2B).” [i]Xyyman comment: So the Great Lakes people from Tanzania were the precursor to BOTH Levantine Neolithics and North African Neolithics(leading to modern European Neloithics). Turks came in(1200AD) and diluted the North Africa population.[/i] I am surpised Haak and Paabo penned their name to this Eurocentric cluster. Can of worms indeed.....The end? [/QB][/QUOTE]
