[QUOTE]Originally posted by Antalas: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by mightywolf: It seems indeed ironic. In my opinion, the leak suggests that the ancestors of both Egyptians and Arabs originated from similar prehistoric populations. Due to their shared prehistoric ancient ancestors and because they both have a high proportion of Natufian or Natufian like-ancestry these ancient Egyptian samples appear to be genetically closest to Arabs. That does not, however, imply that Arabs are the offspring or direct descendants of the Ancient Egyptians or that they share their culture or have any connection to their civilization. In fact, the Ancient Egyptians, who spoke a Hamitic language, distinguished themselves from the Semites and Asiatics, to whom Arabs belong. [/QUOTE]I didn't imply anything about Arabs. I simply highlighted the irony, as some individuals with Afrocentric views often assert that Egyptians are "Arab invaders". Regrettably, I've also observed some tension on social media between Egyptians and Saudis. The latter were mocking the former because the Abusir samples were more genetically similar to Arabs. So the situation may escalate further with these new samples lol [/QB][/QUOTE]
