[QUOTE]Originally posted by Evergreen: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [qb] http://science.sciencemag.org/content/360/6388/548/tab-e-letters (excerpt)[QUOTE]"The authors contextualized their findings based on the absence of sub-Saharan ancestry in Natufians (3). To the contrary, reanalysis of Natufians using a more ancestrally diverse reference panel (4) revealed 6.8% sub-Saharan ancestry, shared with present-day Omotic speakers in southern Ethiopia (5). Given that this ancestry was not covered by the global reference data set used by the authors...." [/qb][/QUOTE]It's allways a best practice to be non-assuming and use a broad data set, especially when dealing with Africa where the time-depth of human habitation is so great. Interestingly enough the Taforalt population seems to exhibit phenetic traits that seem in some instances more "northern" than the Eurasian Natufians. Certainly early Egyptians were tropical in many phenetic traits, even if they inherited "ANA" ancestry (whatever that turns out to mean). More studies with regionally specific samples between the ~ 2300 miles that separate Marrakech and Cairo will/can reveal better insight. [/QB][/QUOTE]
