[QUOTE]Originally posted by BrandonP: [QB] M and N being pre-OOA lineages is already something I am inclined to believe. That said, I feel we will need not only more aDNA from Northeast Africa, but also more remains to sample. As Swenet has mentioned, we don't even have remains from the region that we know represent the mainline ancestors of predynastic Egyptians. We have the remains of related populations (e.g. Olduvai I and pre-Mesolithic al-Khiday), but related doesn't mean ancestral. Very likely, the ancestors we're looking for left their remains in spots throughout the Western and Eastern Deserts that either await discovery or haven't yet yielded skeletal remains. That being said, I have found that there are some possible links in material culture between [URL=https://www.jstor.org/stable/25130778]Dakhleh Oasis[/URL] in the Western Desert and predynastic Egypt, so there's at least one place to look for those ancestors. [b]EDIT:[/b] There is one report of Neolithic skeletal remains from Dakhleh Oasis out there, but I haven't been able to access the text yet: [URL=https://www.academia.edu/5776956/2012_J_L_Thompson_A_Neolithic_Nomad_from_Dakhleh_Oasis_Egypt_Bioarchaeology_of_Individuals_A_L_Stodder_A_M_Palkovich_eds_University_Press_of_Florida_96_112]A Neolithic Nomad from Dakhleh Oasis, Egypt[/URL] [/QB][/QUOTE]
