Look at the chart: according to maternal ( mitonchondrial ) DNA, Egyptians and Europeans are the same group?

The chart is on page 5. http://www.scs.uiuc.edu/~mcdonald/WorldHaplogroupsMaps.pdf

So, we know that ancient Egyptians were not black ( who have their own maternal ancestry group, as can be seen on the chart )?

  1. Benjamin Franklin says:

    From your chart: "The data in this chart is supposed to represent the situation before the recent European expansion about late AD." This is true considering the occupation of the Greeks, Romans, Arabs and Circassians in Egypt. Although i believe your chart is rather bias since it seems to neglect the African and Asian influence in Europe and contemporary Egypt. You need to find a chart which is more specific with certain dates being mentioned.
