[QUOTE]Originally posted by Oshun: [QB] Unless the Egyptians were ancestral to both Anatolia and the Natufian component, I see this as a reflection of the samples having a lot of mixture with the Near East. While its true the brown could be a reflection of Near Easterners descending from Africa (or that it's from Africa directly), I doubt it's entirely the result of Africans that never left. Just as brown in the absence of bright blues indicate it may've been African an origin, The heavy presence of it in the AE samples suggests some back migration. This sample is mostly Near Eastern and Egyptian. Specifically this sample is from lower Egypt which had more influences from the Near East since the predynastic. The samples being from Lower Egypt isn't an unsupported brainstorm to explain the data, there is plenty of information out there that makes it clear the samples were Lower Egyptians. There are pretty much no other colors in these samples, which to me would point to immigration into an already heavily "Arabized" or mixed group of northern Egyptians. It'd be one thing if they had relatively less of the other colors and were more brown, but there's nearly none of the same diversity and a lot of vibrant blue. Heavy immigration before the New Kingdom is documented in reports by the Egyptians and Egyptological biological data that has remarked on the presence of demographic change that spread into Upper Egypt. So much so that the original southern phenotype existing in the OK was nearly wiped out in most of NK Egypt. That brown component is probably a mixture of a component indigenous to the Nile Valley (and Africa in general) that is also shared with foreigners that brought vibrant blue shades. Both probably had those blue shades to a certain degree. However, I expect there to be more genetic diversity the closer older samples would have been to Elephantine/Aswan.
