[QUOTE]Originally posted by Thereal: [QB] ElMaestro in a thread with late user antalas pointed out [b]North Africans light skin is mostly from admixture.[/b] Some North Africans do carry similar mutations around melanin related genes like the Khoisan. For my metric was the presence of known alleles for pigmentation. You'd have to define Amerindian dark if you want that basis of comparison. Just to save you the details, [b]skin color variation in Africans is complicated, skin color variation outside is simple, Admixed (with Euro) populations lose a whole lot of diversity when it comes to pigmentation related genes. And that's the effect of North Africans today, they have overlap and evidence of selection pressure for the known genes in pigmentation.[/b] The lightening was due to [b]admixture.[/b] On page 3 http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=15;t=013246;p=3 [/QB][/QUOTE]
