[QUOTE]Originally posted by argiedude: [QB] [IMG]http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k178/argiedude/E3aAfroasia-ver4.gif[/IMG] Changed Ethiopia. It had 0/47 E3a from Wood (2005), now I added 3/88 E3a from Underhill (2000), making the final Ethiopia figure 3/135 = 2% E3a. The Wood samples are new (not from Underhill). Extended the blue colored range from Lake Chad up to east Niger. Cruciani (2004) found 14/22 E(xE3b) in "Tuareg from Niger". Later, Wood (2005) showed a map of Africa with the populations sampled in previous studies, and the map showed 3 previous samples for Niger, 2 of them obviously from Cruciani (2004), the Fulbe and Hausa, and the 3rd was the Kanuri, whom are a nomadic people historically linked with a Berber migration, so it's very likely this was the "Tuareg from Niger" sample from Cruciani (2004). I don't know what part of their E(xE3b) is E3a, but comparing with neighbors in north Cameroon in which E3a is about 2/3 of their overall E(xE3b), the Kanuri E3a is perhaps around 40%. I put the number with a question mark. By the way, the Kanuri people also had 10% E3b1b (2/22), while none was found in the 200+ samples from the nearby north Cameroon region of Lake Chad. Extended the blue colored range into north Mali, because Underhill (2000) found 9/44 E3a in "Mali", and judging from the Wood (2005) map showing samples from previous studies, the only possible candidate are the Tuareg in north Mali. Also, the fact that they have 30% E3b1b and 20% E3a makes it very unlikely they would be from south Mali, since its neighbors in Burkina Faso and elsewhere are 80%+ E3a and 0% E3b1b. Corrected the percentage for the region around south Mali and Burkina Faso after relocating the Mali sample to north Mali. It used to say 30% and 80%, now it says 70%. This makes West Africa more uniformly E3a, ranging from 70% to 90%. The extended blue zone looks almost as big as West Africa but has less than 1% of its population. It's mostly Sahara desert, and a part of the Sahel. I think I'm going to redo the map completely so that it shows the country borders. It sucks trying to figure things out without them. [/QB][/QUOTE]
