Dna Diversity Indigenous Egyptians at Gurna-Luxor contd..
Northern Egyptians are a bit more cosmopolitan in their ancestry 64.8% indigenous with Y-Haplogroup E family.
About 20% of the Y chrom0somes are Near Eastern in Origin, and 10.5 % are Haplogroup R , Y- chromosomes. However, some of these Near Eastern and European Y chromosomes show an ancient entry to Africa (G, K2, R1a, R1b are 8,000 B.P. and older) and any historical contribution from foreign men is more likely to be in the 15% area. Divided by two (no recent female contribution to speak of). This makes non-dynastic Egyptian population around the 7% mark in Lower Egypt; and only some of this is Arab.
As for the maternal (mother’s) inheritance; this is more varied. From a study at Gurna (of modern upper Egyptians): Haplogroups;
H 14.7%, I 5.9%, J 5.9%, L0a* 11.1%, L1* 4.9%, L2a1* 19.9%,
L3* 11.0%, M1 14.9%, N1b 8.8%, T 5.9%, U 8.8%, L2* 2.0%
U4 5.9%, U6 2.9%, L3e* 4.0%, L3b* 1.9%, L1c* 1.0%
L2b* 2.0%. L1b* 4.9%, L3f*6.9%. L3d*1.0%.
percentages are based on frequencies of Egypt/Nile Valley collectively
(which group belongs to your mother ? )…..
Of these, The L haplotypes are Nilotic and Indigenous and are typically supra and sub Saharan (23.7%),
Haplogroup L2a (mtDNA) has notable frequencies of 22% among the
Hebrew Affiliated Fulani of Nile Valley to Niger to The Gambia
They are at least 70,000-111,100 B.P. The Oldest in Egypt !!
L2a1 also has (49%) MtDna collectively in,
Sudan, Nile- Valley/Nubia, Ethiopia, and Egypt
(from the White Nile to the Blue Nile)..
(the Nile Valley Civilizations)……
L2a is also in the Great Rift Valley regions @
16% Kenya/Sudan and 33% in Mozambique.
Today, the term is most often used to refer to
The Valley of the East African Rift,
The divergent plate boundary which extends from
The Afar Triple Junction southward
Across Eastern Africa, and is in the process of splitting
The African Plate into two new separate plates.
Geologists generally refer to these incipient plates as
The Nubian and Somalian subplates or protoplates.
As for haplogroups M1 and U, they are African/Westasian/Eurasian haplotypes, at 30,000 B.P.
Other West-asian/Eur-asian, Haplotypes have been found in 12,000 year old bones in Morocco.
Haplogroups N and I Mtdna are possibly attributable to Arab ancestry, about 15% non-Arab in upper Egypt. But still, most of that would easily be attributable to the Neolithic input from “AsiA” very little of this would be attributable to Arabs.
To sum up, there doesn’t seem to be majority ‘Arab’ genetic component to the Egyptian DNA pool, 20% absolute maximum. A lot of the non African DNA is traceable to the Neolithic farming expansion that swept across North Africa, so it would be a lot lower in reality.
In upper Egypt a maximum of 20% of the Y chromosomes are Non –African.

{Since the Dynastic times, of Ethiopian-Nubian and Egyptian Kingdoms} …..
So how these people are supposed to have “Magically Changed” appearance in the past few thousand
years with so little foreign input I’d like to know…
Egyptians are Indigenous “African-Egyptian”, Not Euro/Arabs.. They are in essence “African-Arabs”.
They are part African/Asiatics: (Hamito-Semitic) and are members of
The Nile Valley and the Great Rift Valley , which could be equally known as
The East African Rift , Nile Valley Civilizations…
(“Nile Valley, “North Africa”, “Horn of Africa” and “West Asian Arab Africans”.)

An important influence on the subsequent genetic landscape
Of the continent is likely to have been the LGM.
Paleovegetational studies have indicated that, between 30,000 and 11,000 years ago,
Much of the continent was extremely arid (Adams and Faure 1997).
The Sahara advanced hundreds of kilometers further south, and the Equatorial Rainforests
Were reduced to a small fraction of their present size, leaving open woodland and savanna in much of the Congo basin.
This may have formed a refuge area from which modern humans later dispersed:
Some with haplogroup L2a East and West, with L1b west;
Perhaps even some with L1a East and L1d Southward.
The origins of these expansions may lie earlier,
At the beginnings of the Later Stone Age, ~40,000 years ago.
The Valley of the Queens, is a place in Egypt where wives of Pharaohs were buried in ancient times. In ancient times, it was known as Ta-Set-Neferu, meaning –‘the place of the Children of the Pharaoh’, because along with the Queens of the 18th, 19th and 20th dynasties (1550–1070 BCE) many princes and princesses were also buried with various members of the nobility. The tombs of these individuals were maintained by mortuary priests who performed daily rituals and provided offerings and prayers for the deceased nobility.
The distributions and ages of L1a, L1c/L3e, and L1d testify to the habitation of East, and Central, and southern Africa, respectively, by modern humans, ~40,000 years ago.
Similarly, L1b, L3b, and L3d imply that West Africa has been inhabited since at least 20,000–30,000 years ago.
Haplogroup L1b is concentrated in West Africa, with some overflow into Central and North Africa
(particularly geographically adjacent areas, connected by the West African coastal pathway)
but little in East, southeastern, or southern Africa.
It is also common in so called African Americans
(~27% of all L1b-types in the database)
By contrast, the commoner haplogroup L3b (fig. 8c) is predominantly West African,
with a substantial representation again in today’s socalled African Americans.
It has also spilled over into North Africa and on into the Near East as well.
And Its sister clade, Haplogroup L3d (fig. 9a), is also mainly West African and African American.
A number of types are found in SouthEastern Africa, including one type (in L3d1), matching a Fulbe/Fulani lineage,
At considerable elevated Frequencies.
Finally, there are two small sister clades, L3e3 and L3e4.
L3e3 is primarily West African,But with its root type present at elevated frequency in the
Southeast and with some southeastern African derivatives. There is also a Kenyan/Kikuyu derivative,
Again raising a possible connection with the Eastern stream.
L3e4 is present in East, Central, and West Africa, with One individual in the Southeast,
But is too rare to draw conclusions from.
HAPLOGROUP L2A:
Haplogroup L2a is Nilotic and the most common and widely distributed sub- Saharan African Haplogroup and is also frequent in the Americas (~19%).
The wide distribution of L2a in Africa makes identifying geographical origins of lineages difficult.
(Excerpt from: The African Diaspora: Mitochondrial DNA and the Atlantic Slave Trade)
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov:80/pmc/articles/PMC1182259/
The Main Puzzle is the almost Ubiquitous Haplogroup L2a,
Which we suggest may have become”Prevalent “somewhere in
North-Central Africa { Prehistoric Central North Africa }
Spreading East and West along the Sahel, during the Last Glacial Period or some what earlier..
Example: Modern day Sahel, Tunisia near Libya and Algeria..
Note: The Jerba Islands of Tunisia/Carthage is located in South Eastern Tunisia,
Tunisia, is inhabited by four ethnic groups: Berbers, Arabs, sub-Saharans, and Jews/Hebrews.

Isolated Haplogroups of Jerba Island Tunisia: L1b, L2a1, L2a1c1, L2d2, L3b, L3b1, L3e1a, L3f, M and U
The Island of Jerba/Tunisia is said to be Inhabited First, by the Descendants of the Mousterian Population
Between the 5th and 6th Millienia B.C. (Tlatli, 1967), Who were later replaced by Berbers of the Ketama
and Lemata tribes ( Khaldoun 1852).
The First Arab settlement on the Island Occurred in the 7th Century A.D.

Haplogroup L2a has frequencies of 14% among Algerian Arab/Berbers and
10% among Bilād al-Sūs Morrocan Arab/Berbers in
The Sousse Valley North Africa..
We recognize, however, that the origins of these haplogroups may be more ancient than we can trace
(L2, for example, may be well >70,000 years old )….. and that, in such cases,
evidence of the earlier distribution of these clusters may have been erased by subsequent demographic processe.
We have attempted partly to disentangle the structure of L2a, retaining as irreducible on present evidence three major squares close to the root of the cluster. These reticulations link eight main clusters by single-step mutations.
We assume that the main reticulations of the network are due to the existence of rapid transitions at positions 16189 and 16192
(Howell et al. 2000), which approach saturation due to the high time depth of African lineages.
We also assume that position 16309 is more stable than the two known fast sites and therefore is not responsible for the main reticulations.
On these grounds, clusters α1-α2-α3, as well as β1-β2-β3, might be collapsed into two main clusters,
One of them with the basal motif of “(L2a)” and the other harboring the transition at “16309″ (L2a1).
Several instances in which 16309 must nevertheless evolve in parallel can then be read off the network …..

North Africans tend to cluster with West Africans, suggesting that the sub-Saharan component of
North Africans Originates primarily from West rather than East Africa
(as expected, on geographical grounds).
Unlike other North Africans, Egyptians are closer to East Africans
than to West Africans. [Rando et al. 1999].)
PC2 has a large contribution from the Eastern lineage groups L3g and L3*;
However L2a, L1b1a, and L3e2* also make a similar contribution.
And though Egypt in the North as well, Egyptians tend to Genetically cluster with East Africans

NOTE: Haplgroup L2a being prevalent in North-Central Africa with an Origin Date of 55,150 B.P.
Would place L2a in the Upper Paleolithic era in North Africa beginning around 50,000 years before the present (ybp),
As well as the Mousterian Pluvial period circa 50,000 B.C. and lasting 20,000 years, and finally ending around 30,000 ybp.
Archaeologist Richard G. Klein, argues that almost everywhere, whether Asia or Africa or Europe, before 50,000 years ago
All the stone tools are very much alike and Unsophisticated.
However after 50,000 years ago there is “Sharp Increase” in the diversity of Artifacts.
For the First Time Bone Artifacts, and the First Art appear in the fossil record in Africa.
The First Evidence of Human Fishing is also noted from Artifacts in places like Blombos cave in South Africa.
After 50,000 years ago, Firstly in Africa, it was found that Human Artifacts could be placed into Many different categories,
such as {Projectile Points, Engraving Tools, Knife Blades, and Drilling and Piercing Tools}
All of the above are Found in (Al’kebu-lan) AFRICA...
