Ancient DNA from the Green Sahara reveals ancestral North African lineage

None of the big genetics guys on Twitter are correcting these insane takes. Even that razib khan guy who goes crazy anytime people talk about indo europeans

Razib is a clown

Well to honest, non of the replies mentioned here is on the same level of understanding with average guy on twitter. Maybe It should be given some time to digest what said and gather more information.

@The alchemist could you make it simpler, how they are contradicting their data and that the Takafori are 60 sub saharan?

I just read it. Don't know how this got past peer review, let alone Nature. Retraction/significant revision probably on the way.

Either way, Takarkori does not maximize what is essentially the African half of Iberomarusians.

I think we will come to find that ANA isn’t one single component, the kind of ANA in Natufians will not be the same as the IBM ANA, that ANA is from Egypt/Sudan not Morocco and it has its own unique history.

I think ANA is basically a mix between something along the SSA-Basal Eurasian cline and local Aterian populations who I think would be SSA-like and have their own local adaptions within NW and NE Africa and would have been the major cause of this distinction between ANA in NW and NE Africa.


I do agree with you in that these samples probably have some recent Green Sahara SSA ancestry not found in Taforalt.
