As well as their descendants of course. But in general, especially at the foundation stage, current genetic results on Ancient Egyptians (Ramses III=E1b1a, BMJ, JAMA, DNA Tribes), as well as other archaeological results (cultural continuity, biometric continuity affected by changes in lifestyle not migrants, etc) lead me to believe that they would be closer to say 5-6 on average. So basically Africans slightly admixed with neighboring Eurasians populations, but still mostly African as a whole. [/QUOTE]That sounds reasonable. Is there really an argument going on or is it spliittig hairs? A position at 5-6 would place dynastic Egyptians closer to the East African Nilotic Dinka people and further from Yoruba in comparison [/qb][/QUOTE]I don't think you can micro analyze in term of populations those results. There's too many reasons to cite here. I only considered the present-day African bubble as a whole. For example, the BMJ/JAMA/DNA tribes results on Ancient Egyptian mummies for me, beside Ramses III=E1b1a, is not really about Southern Africans, Great Lakes Africans and West Africans. Ancient Egyptians were also their own people after all. It's about the Sub-Saharan African genetic grouping as a whole which are closer to Ancient Egyptians than to other world populations like Europeans or West Eurasians. Horn Africans are further away because much of their population (at least in the sample used by DNA Tribes) is admixed with Eurasians. In fact, DNA Tribes could have combined the Sub-Saharan Africans genetic groupings and the MLI scores would have been even higher (since other African groups wouldn't be in the denominator of the MLI ratio, as MLI scores are simply ratio of frequencies). In other words, clearly based on current genetic results, Ancient Egyptians were mostly Africans like Sub-Saharan Africans, not Eurasians or West Asians. [/QB][/QUOTE]
