Genetic Makeup of Kulubnarti Nubians

[Al-Ma'mun]

Look at the results, smoothbrain. Im not talking out of my ass.

I have ran them far more times than you on G25.Nubians are a mixture between Egyptians,Cushites and Nilo-Sahran stop sounding like a nacas and listen to those more knowledgeable than you

Maybe mention that in your initial comment, then? Rather than chimp out, point out where I’m wrong and bring forth evidence and I’ll be happy to listen. I have no problem with you being more knowledgeable than me, but please act like it.

4000-year-old hair from the Middle Nile highlights unusual ancient DNA degradation pattern and a potential source of early eastern Africa pastoralists
Max Planck

Petrous bones and teeth are the skeletal elements most often targeted by researchers for ancient DNA (aDNA) extraction, and the sources of the majority of previously published ancient African genomes. However, the high temperature environments that characterise much of Africa often lead to poor preservation of skeletal remains. Here, we successfully reconstruct and analyse genome-wide data from the naturally mummified hair of a 4000-year-old individual from Sudan in northeastern Africa, after failed attempts at DNA extraction from teeth, petrous, and cranium of this and other individuals from the site of Kadruka. We find that hair DNA extracted with an established single-stranded library protocol is unusually enriched in ultra-short DNA molecules and exhibits substantial interior molecular damage. The aDNA was nonetheless amenable to genetic analyses, which revealed that the genome is genetically indistinguishable from that of early Neolithic eastern African pastoralists located 2500 kilometres away. Our findings support established models for the southwards dispersal of Middle Nile Valley pastoral populations to the Rift Valley of eastern Africa, and provide the first direct evidence for a genetic source population for this dispersal. Our study highlights the value of mummified hair as an alternate source of aDNA from regions with poor bone preservation.

It looks like an individual from Kadruka/Kerma circa 4000BP clusters with the early pastoralists from Kenya.

What a find, wow. Amazing share.

Post a separate thread for this, saxib.

They were just nilotic-like patriarchal people that likely happened to marry near-eastern-like women and became mixed. The opposite hardly happened in Kulubnarti nubians.
