[QUOTE]Originally posted by BrandonP: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Antalas: [qb]What you still haven't understood is that you haven't contradicted any of my points at all, and you're completely missing the point, thinking that I would be bothered by the Al Khiday sample and its implications. Irish 2021 has demonstrated that the El Khiday sample doesn't align with the clustering of Nubians, let alone Ethiopians and other Sub-Saharan Africans. Therefore, I fail to see why you're drawing a direct connection between the two, especially considering I've previously shared citations emphasizing a significant influx from the Near East during the mid-Holocene that extended into the Nile Valley and reached as far as Nubia. Consequently, a profile like that of Al Khiday doesn't necessarily imply a direct and unaltered descent from those origins. Your argumentation is clearly highly conjectural and biased.[/qb][/QUOTE]Have you even read [URL=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8187995/]Irish 2021[/URL]? It clearly states this: [QUOTE][qb]In summary, the most parsimonious explanation is ancestors of Holocene agriculturalists were in Nubia—just not at Wadi Halfa, Gebel Sahaba, and Tushka. Although cultural diffusion with the incorporation of non-local resources occurred, with perhaps some immigration, it is unnecessary to hypothesize a significant post-Pleistocene influx of agriculturalists. The results suggest most future Nubian agriculturalists were in residence the entire time,[/qb] though previously in the guise of Neolithic agro-pastoralists and intensive collectors. It would seem likely that, soil deflation aside, more Late Palaeolithic skeletal remains akin to Al Khiday may yet be discovered, possibly including Lower Nubia. [qb]So, long-term population continuity appears likely after all,[/qb] perhaps including in situ selection for a reduction in cranial robusticity, as well as dental size (only), during the transition from hunting–gathering to agriculture.[/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
