The first ever genetic analysis of mummies found that ancient Egyptian kings were more closely related to West Asians than Africans, according to a study published Tuesday by scientists at the Max Planck Institute.

The research found that ancient Egyptians were most closely related to Neolithic Levantine, Anatolian and European populations. The mummies tested did not share strong genetic links to Africa often found in modern Egyptians.


quote:

This suggests that an increase in Sub-Saharan African gene flow into Egypt occurred within the last 1,500 years,” Wolfgang Haak, who led the research team, said in a statement.

It’s further evidence that ancient Egyptians were genetically different than modern day residents. Scientists largely agree that ancient Egyptians were indigenous to the Nile area, but a vocal minority of “Afrocentric” scholars claim that the area’s ancient population was entirely African.



This won't play well with the liberal idiots.

That's bc most modern day Egyptians are fricking Arab. Not African, Arabs plundered all through Africa during Islamic expansion.

This article is retarded.

For some English correction, "Further evidence" does not mean "Prove."

That this was even debatable is comedy and proof that quite often the left will completely subjugate common sense to kiss the arse minorities

The only people who will care about this are racists who think this somehow justifies their racism.

Some middle aged white dude made a comment to my buddy about the good looking "negress" in our group when we were at some festival this weekend. Funny thing is the girl he was referring to is of Indian descent and just a few shades darker than my olive, Mediterranean complexion. Go figure.

ETA: Seems like some people have a problem making the distinction, anyway.

I think it's rather fascinating to be honest. It's really interesting to find out new information on just who these ancient cultures were.

PS - So much for Obama's stupid claim that he was descended from an Egyptian king.

Not real surprising news especially when you look at the world today.

For fricks sake you are sad to give a shite or to come to that conclusion

Fact is there was nubian Egyptians. The rest would be still African but more light skinned looking for a number of factors. Like location, climate and race mixing due to slavery and people in out of the country's trade routes
