[QUOTE]Originally posted by Truthcentric: [QB] All right, Amun-Ra, I'm sick of your repetitive bullshitting and slander too: [QUOTE]Originally posted by Amun-Ra The Ultimate: [qb]Based on current aDNA results on Ancient Egyptian mummies, do you believe Ancient Egyptians to be genetically closer to Eurasians than to West African people for example?[/qb][/QUOTE]I would say Northeast Africans might be genetically closer to Out-of-Africa than West or Central Africans, [b]but not necessarily due to "Hamitic" back-migration[/b]. It's been explained to you countless times that since OOA populations are ultimately an offshoot of Northeast Africans, they will appear closely related. It's like how you or I probably have more in common genetically with our parents than we do our distant cousins. As for the ancient Egyptians in particular, while the skeletal data you keep ignoring supports a Northeast rather than West African affinity for them, one has to wonder what's up with the DNA Tribes MLI scores. I agree with Swenet that these specific results shouldn't be taken literally by themselves, but I for one am at a loss as to how to reconcile the MLI results with the skeletal analyses. One explanation I have toyed with is that these ancient Egyptians' ostensible West/Central/Southern African affiliation really reflects the relative paucity of ancestry that would be present in OOA but not Northeast Africans, namely a Neanderthal/Denisovan component. In other words, maybe the Neanderthal ancestry in OOA is steering them away from the mummies despite a shared Northeast African origin? [/QB][/QUOTE]
