We do know they are M343, we just don't know what subclade it is beneath it.

Have we found J amongst WHG? I believe the hgs found have been I, C, and R-V88.

All we know is the 18th Dynasty members that were tested, prior members may not have been paternal ancestors, have R1b R-M343, which is the basal clade to all R1b clades. We do not know if it is specifically M269. Feel free to write to Prof. Gad, which I have, if you want confirmation that...

We don't know for certain what subclade of R1b the 18th dynasty members have.

It would help if we had DNA from the Tenerian samples, who are phenotypically different than the Mechtoid-like Kiffians.

Not entirely surprising when you consider that there is support for diffusion of pre-Indo-European groups from Europe into the Green Sahara. We have seen EEF and WHG ancestry in samples from the Green Sahara, and still see EEF admixture in Central Saharan populations, most notably the...

As a rare V88 I will chime in. The data seems to support diffusion from Iberia and Italy into North Africa during the Neolithic about 5,500 BCE with the expansion of the Cardial Culture. V88 seems to be particularly prominent in Chad, eastern Niger, southern Libya, and northern Nigeria and...

Yes, I've seen this. R-V88 in Africa has two main branches, R-V1589 and R-FGC21039, this is upstream of both. I thought I saw that there were 26 reported STRs for this sample, so they should be able to drill down further.

Not to drag up an old thread, but are the STRs for R11746 available anywhere? R-PF6287 is so far upstream as to be pretty useless when looking at R-V88 derived groups in Africa.
