@Maqitzara “This reverence to the dead is characterized by the Fangool,veneration of the ancestors and the saints,interceders Koox,the supreme deity who is the Sky God(in some minor cults also referred as Grandfather).”

This is just every Niger-Congoid religion

@AnthropoTube Yeah, it seems as if the paternal ancestor for all humans was somewhere in North Africa by the looks of the early splits in A00-T.

@AnthropoTube Look up the HGxxx samples. Many of them are Mandinka

[Lib Bro @Original_Libbro]

@AnthropoTube Could be from admixture with surrounding agricultural groups

@eongvng @chancardmk4 Interesting! Always appreciate your posts about Fang topics, brother 🙏🏿

[Lib Bro @Original_Libbro]

@AnthropoTube It’s mainly found in West Africa, not central. Mandinkas, an Algerian, a Barbadian, and a Cameroonian. These are all either west African or peri-west African peoples. Seems rarer in central Africa

@AnthropoTube Oh my bad, I misread the tweet. If I were to guess A0 is probably another Saharan relict

[Lib Bro @Original_Libbro]

@AnthropoTube Both the European clade and West African ones have similar TMRCA dates, so I think it's some weird Saharan relict

[Lib Bro @Original_Libbro]

@AnthropoTube A1b (xBT) is just a generic SAHG haplo that is also found in East African populations (Nilotes, Nuba, Nubians, etc.), probably from some ancient admix event. A1a is MUCH weirder. One clade is found in western sudannian (NOT 🇸🇩🇸🇸) pops and the other in western European pops...

@motalamematska I was mainly talking about it not coming with geneflow in Mota man himself. I do agree that there was definitely geneflow between Mota-like foragers and pastoralists but, if present in Mota, it'd have to be at extremely low levels

@shakhs_maa @thmque Those are samples from different studies.

[Lib Bro @Original_Libbro]

@shakhs_maa @thmque Zulu, Southern Sotho, Tswana

@dpinsen “Similar circumstances” is doing a lot of the heavy lifting here

[Lib Bro @Original_Libbro]

@AridoAmSubstack This is because Brazil, unlike the US, still has a frontier.

[Lib Bro @Original_Libbro]

@n00rdung @nrmtenjoyer Yeah, you can see this when comparing how, say African Americans look to how an African dude with a single white grandparent looks.
