[QUOTE]Originally posted by Antalas: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Elijah The Tishbite: I guess you can't read, the 4 or 5 ancestries that Ethiopians and Somalis have according to THAT study in 2014 are Lowland eastern Cushitic, Nilo-Saharan, Omotic, Arabian, and in the case of the Tigray only, Levantine Caucasian. That 30-50% Eurasian figure is way overstated and what "multiple waves" of Eurasians migrated into the Horn? There's no evidence of that. Some of what these geneticists are calling "Eurasian" is no doubt shared common ancestry from the African population that spawned OOA migrations as noted here below: [i]Hence in conclusion we argue that the X-chromosome evidence presented here shows a genetic continuity ranging from Sub-Saharan Africa, through North-Eastern Africa, into the Near East. [b]However, the reduction in Tn diversity does suggest that a population bottleneck occurred in Ethiopia, associated with a major out of Africa expansion(s), which parallels the conclusion made by Tishkoff et al. (1996) from analysis of the CD4 locus. Certainly our data are not incompatible with the argument from Tishkoff et al. (1996) that an element of the contempo-rary Ethiopian population may be descendants of the ancestral population that spawned the migration out of Africa.[/b] We also argue, however, that in addition to this early bottleneck event, later periods of admixture have played a major role in shaping the gene pool of Ethiopia, and its populations display both Eurasian and Sub-Saharan genetic influences. While these results are from the analysis of just one locus, and samples sizes for a number of populations remain relatively small (particularly in the case of the Oromo and the Ethiopian Jews), we feel that in association with data from other marker systems they add a complemen-tary perspective to the history of Ethiopia and her peoples.[/i] Ethiopia: between Sub-Saharan Africa and Western Eurasia There is no doubt that Horners have Eurasian mixture, just not to the tune of 38-50%. [/QB][/QUOTE]You clearly don't know what you're talking about : are you at least aware what this "lowland eastern cushitic" component is ? Also you haven't even paid attention since a large part of their DNA in that paper is classified as "undefined" so you should question their proxies. [/QB][/QUOTE]
