[QUOTE]Originally posted by Oshun: [QB] They'll go for older remains if they realize the black Egypt theory hasn't been put to rest. I actually do believe that the DNA tribes DNA was possibly correct. What we could be seeing were the genetic differences of the Egyptian population based on distance from the Near East and Sub Saharan Africa. This would also explain Beyoku's data because what he posted was Old Kingdom information. Hassan's Nubian data doesn't seem to be heavily Near Eastern and the southern Egyptians were closest to Nubians. Even in Irish's study HRK and UEG pair with Nubians before Lower Egyptians. Genetic information or not, if most of ES expresses the opinions you have (that Torres Strait Islanders/Aboriginals are black), genetics will have little meaning for people trying to prove race under the radar. it'll be back to craniometrics, collecting hair samples and watching white internet anthropology boards promise each other that their society couldn't possibly treat anyone with those features as black. But back to the main point: The mixture could've been in either direction. East Africa is where Eurasians left Africa and AE features were generally not outside the realm of possibility for indigenous adaptations. There's to be expected some overlap in features. The southern base population could've been an Ethiopian/Somali type that mixed with (older) Eurasians or it could've been mostly Eurasians that mixed with East Africans. One thing that I'm always wondering is if the majority or the Upper Egyptian elite were mostly Eurasian why didn't they speak Semetic? This is the one hangup I have. Of course if the origin of all Afro Asiatic languages WAS in Eurasia that could potentially explain it. But that is resting on a very old back migration. [/QB][/QUOTE]
