[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by SlimJim: [qb] Yeah you're right those kinda terms are inaccurate when looking at these groups and are largely modern terms, but I meant the ancestry of Egypt/Nubia that's typically represented as Natufian/Levantine, most users here including myself believe there is a native North East African side to Natufians that's wrongly said to be Eurasian in origin, I was asking if this Al Khiday population could be a candidate for this kind of population that could have introduced North East African ancestry into the Natufians, and are partly responsible for the presence of "Natufian" like ancestry in ancient Egypt/Nubia [/qb][/QUOTE]It's hard to say. I haven't heard of any dental trait studies done on Natufians. But according to this new Irish paper, not only does Al-Khiday show dental traits in common with Holocene Egypto-Nubians but that their cranial morphology also shows some ties albeit with more robust archaic traits. The Natufians are somewhat of an odd group. In terms of their affinities with Nile Valley peoples their cranial shape is most similar to predynastic Delta folk like Merimde and Upper Egyptian Tasians except somewhat smaller but their nasal features and prognathism makes them intermediate between Nubians and West African groups. Genetically they seem to be intermediate between an early North African group (with some admixture from a Hadza-like Sub-Saharan East Africans) and a group called 'Basal Eurasians'. [/QB][/QUOTE]
