16% of Mota in Natufians?Originally Posted by Ariel90
So basically Ancient Modern Humans split into various Africans, from the East African component spawned this North African component , that from what I understand is not the ANA that we know, but it's much more ancient, like 100k years old. This North African component splits in two, one lineage contributes to 95% of the main\first OOA. The other lineage migrates back to Sub-Saharan Africa, but also it contributed to Natufians (30%) and Onge (50%!!!!). Now, what is the "real" difference between the idea of a Basal Eurasian component and a second OOA component that shares a lot with the first OOA? Also, why we never realized that Onge (and Native Americans) have this mysterious second OOA component? And wouldn't that component create some genetic similarity between let's say Natufians and Onge since they both share a lot of that ancestry? Also in that graph Africans have a lot of OOA ancestry, but Mota doesn't, Mota is highly drifted East-African and West African Mix, Mota also contributes to 16% of Natufians ancestry. East Africans feel underrepresented in that graph, considering the "central role" of East Africa in the picture.
