Ancient DNA Reveals a Multi-Step Spread of the First Herders into Sub-Saharan Africa

How food production first entered eastern Africa ~5000 years ago and the extent to which people moved with livestock is unclear. We present genome-wide data from 41 individuals associated with Later Stone Age, Pastoral Neolithic (PN), and Iron Age contexts ...

Does this mean that Mota-like people were demographically dominant in ancient Sudan?

Does this mean that Mota-like people were demographically dominant in ancient Sudan?

I'm not exactly sure what to make of this as its simply a 2 way mix but when you use a group like PPNB it inflates Mota-like ancestry relative to what you would get if you used Natufian, if he used Natufian it would have been able to account for some of that Mota-like ancestry. But even then its suprising that they prefer Mota to Dinka which is pretty interesting tbh.
On the PCA he created the sample has a southern shift on the PC2 axis, which could indicate an excess Mota affinity relative to modern Horners.

He should run a model using Natufian and Dinka aswell as PPNB and KEN_LSA, I'm certain the Mota-like ancestry will plummet but if they really do score a lot of Mota-like whilst Dinka and Natufian is employed then yeah, Mota-like ancestry was more widespread in Sudan than previously assumed.
I've argued in other threads that Natufians have Mota-like ancestry that came from Paleolithic and/or Mesolithic Egypt, Paleolithic remains in Egypt often reveal very SSA shifted phenotypes with broad affinties to modern and MSA SSAs, so I think these remains will turn up very KEN_LSA/Mota. Natufian-like people may have admixed with Dinka-like groups aswell as these Mota/KEN_LSA types.

@tariq moses Do Paleolithic Egyptians mean Halfan?
I thought they were basically admixed IBM Taforalt-like people?

Paleolithic cultures, overview (Archaeology of Ancient Egypt)

The record of the Egyptian Paleolithic is found in two very different areas, the Nile Valley and the Sahara. The Nile Valley seems to have been used continuously, or almost so, since more than 500,000 years ago. Use of the […]

, do Khormusan count as part of the spectrum with mechtoid affinities?

Natufian-like people may have admixed with Dinka-like groups

I thought it was determined the only SSA-like ancestries they carried were some quite minor Mota-like and (obviously more than Mota-like) ANA inherited from Taforalt-like people?

Also, I assume LSA means a population with only Mota-like ancestry and no Nilotic?
But how’s that possible when the sample is retrieved near the White Nile? I mean, how would the Kadruka individual score that much Mota but no proto-Dinka? Or do ancient proto-Dinka carry Mota-like ancestries too?

Also, how about this study above?
Or is mitogenome sequencing not suitable for the overall affinity of a population?

Mota is mixed...he's literally a cross between whatever peaks in the South Sudanese,ANA, South African HG and West Eurasian.Natufians probably have minor South Sudanese-like ancestry with heightened ratio of ANA.

I doubt any population in Sudan carried South African HG ancestry

Wasn't it determined that a signal for West Eurasian admixture is negative in the Mota Man?
Should we take this revoiye character's model seriously? I reckon the official study about this Kadruka Kerman hasn't been published, right?
