[QUOTE]Originally posted by mightywolf: [QB] [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". [b]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[/b] [/qb][/QUOTE]I know. That's why I wanted to make it clear that Arabs cannot claim ancient Egypt as such. Long before DNA, not only Afrocentrists, but some Arab supremacists claimed that Arabs founded and created the Ancient Egyptian civilization. Aside from that, another insane internet war is raging between J1 and E1b1b1-obsessed Arabs. Both fight for the ultimate Arab hg. LOL J1 Arabs used to look down on E1b1b Arabs and to consider them the lesser Arab, but E1b1b1 Arabs are becoming more confident. Anway, I can't wait for the Egyptian papers to be published since the comments, topics and rebuttals in the anthrofora will be fire. It got a bit boring the last few years; there were too many papers on Indo-European and Neo-European farmers and not many on other ancient people. [/QB][/QUOTE]
