[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by LoStranger: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [qb]I was getting ready to grab my popcorn, too. But looks like Antalas is already copping out after realizing he can't name one relevant Maghrebi, Middle Eastern or Euro fossil that shows Palaeolithic/autochtonous Euros, Maghrebi or West Asians used to resemble NE Africans. Antalas knows this already because he's been saying that Taforalt and Afalou resemble Upper Palaeolithic Europeans, and we can see where the Afalou and Taforalt are in his PCA. This is why Antalas last post is such a contradiction. He says I'm wrong because it's a fact that Eurasian ancestry came into Africa (which I agree that it did), but the recipients of this Eurasian ancestry (ie the Taforalt and Afalou samples) at best show only vague hints of affinity to predynastics/Nubians (hence, Briggs finding Type B among Afalou/Taforalt, but only as a minority component). In other words, Palaeolithic Eurasian ancestry does not help Africans become more similar to predynastics. Like I said, it's not just his 'Afrocentrics' that he loves to lecture about genetic distance, who have misconceptions. He's not going to like the outcome, either. [/qb][/QUOTE]Right so in other words Pre-Dynastic Egyptians/Nubians were craniometrically distinct from palaeolithic Taforalt and Alou? How about the [b]Neolithic[/b] version of Taforalt and Alou/Maghrebis (whatever they're known as) is there any increase or decrease with cranio affinities with Pre-Dynasitc Egyptians/Nubians? So in closing and again feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but what I'm getting from your and Djheutis responses to Antalas is that you're essentially saying Pre-Dynastic Egyptians/Nubians despite being very different from most Sub-Saharan Africans are still just as African as any "Sub-Saharan" African and that [b]in contrast Maghrebis aren't due to them having Eurasian ancestry?[/b] [/qb][/QUOTE]The 20th century Taforalt and Afalou and NE Africans are distinct, but in the bigger scheme of things (ie in a context with global populations), the former will likely possess some distant affinities with populations who have the Natufian-like component. Keith explained it as follows: [i]When we take into consideration the distance of Algeria from Palestine, and the antiquity of the two peoples we are considering—for the Capsian culture of North Africa is regarded as contemporary with the later Aurignacian of Europe—it is remarkable to find such a degree of correspondence between the cultures of Algeria and Palestine—particularly that they should have the practice of incisor extraction in common. Were the two peoples the same? They [b]were certainly not of the same physical type, and yet may well have been branches of the same human stock—the Mediterranean[/b][/i] New discoveries relating to the antiquity of man https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015002696519&view=1up&seq=1 [/QB][/QUOTE]
