[QUOTE]Originally posted by Elmaestro: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by LoStranger: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Elmaestro: [qb] If you're trying to say that they'll just be similar to Taforalt with no insight on African substructure then you'd be contradicted by your initial concern as they state that Takorkori's lineage is newly discovered[/qb][/QUOTE]Yes they've said that this lineage is newly discovered but they are still saying it is more similar to Moroccan Foragers 15kya than Sub-Saharan Africans. [i]"Both individuals are [b]most[/b] closely related to the preceding 15,000-year-old foragers from Morocco associated with the Iberomaurusian techno-complex, whereas both Takarkori and Iberomaurusian individuals are [b]distantly[/b] related to sub-Saharan African lineages."[/i] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Elmaestro: [qb] Lastly, notice how they compared they Neanderthal ancestry to that of SSA and not that of Taforalt. What do you beleive that'll sugge didn't catchst in the long run? [/qb][/QUOTE]You're absolutely right about this I don't know why I didn't catch that part. My apologies. [/qb][/QUOTE]It can seem confusing especially if your familiar with how modern Casual enthusiasts analyze samples and how modern professionals present information. But it is impossible for a lineage to be new and lack insight on related sample despite how close or similar they are to others. Such logic only persists in our imaginations where we use programs like Vahaduo to model individuals. Novel ancestry that is just previously discovered ancestry is an oxymoron. If what the authors are saying is true it means that Takarkori are different from Iberomaurasians but are close by proxy like how the Natufian individuals were said to be closely related to the latter. Ancestral North African should occupy a space genetically distinct but likely sharing deep ancestry with modern "Subsaharan Africans." Taforalt has this ancestry. Then again, I might be preemptively applying previous knowledge from an overall viewpoint. For instance, what sense does the physical, cultural, morphological affinities of these samples make when relating them to Taforalt and does it make sense that their descended from them? I'm also questioning the ancestry of Taforalt specimen themselves and asking which populations converged to spawn their genomic profile. We know that they likely have had some recent ancestry from the east given their paternal haplogroups. Should Takarkori pastoralists be related to those predecessors. And then there's the Neanderthal component. Note, it would be even more insightful to African substructure if the Takarkori two were more distant from SSA and carried less Neanderthal than Taforalt. Yet if the opposite is true the implications there wont even need to be stated. [/QB][/QUOTE]
