Are there any high coverage pristine nilo-saharan samples?

Apparently the commonly used sudanese7 G25 sample and the other nilotic samples are low in coverage

Sudanese7 is pretty good for Horners. For Nubians & Sahelians I tend to use the Saharan Zaghawa as the Sudanic speakers originated from the Sahara

I heard the coverage for sudanese7 is low and may not give the most accurate results for that reason

Maybe but it behaves as if it has a lot less of the West African component found in the other South Sudanese samples.

What about west eurasian? Do you believe there could be some minor eurasian ancestry?

Maybe or perhaps they just have significant percentage of some African ancestry that was just closer to the OOA pop (ANA??)

Do you think there’s a possibility that our “proto-Nilotic” ancestry could actually be ANA?

Impossible. It would have spilled over to modern North Africans, Levantine and Arabians even Mediterranean countries like Italy and Spain

No for many reasons, if that was the case we would be similiar to the IBM samples.Our African ancestry & modern South Sudanese & Saharans like Zaghawa are a composite of different African ancestries.There is definetly something unique in these Eastern Saharans tbh.

We have to many uniparentals in common with Nilo-Saharans (mostly maternal) so it makes sense we descend from a sister population that admixed with the West Eurasian dominated NE Africans who cucked this population quite early in pre-history.I think the levels of Eastern Saharan ancestry among these Pastoralists of the Eastern Desert & Lower Nubia/Upper Egypt fluctuated based on the time period

Can you shed more light on these african ancestries?
