Well, i don't have anything against Egyptians. Now, you have to understand that Egypt is close neighbor to the southern Levant, and there were trade between the two regions since the neolithic period. The study claims that the Egyptians belong to the same branch as to other ME's rather than to NA's like Moroccans and Algerians.

Egyptians are more north african this study is weird
[QUOTE=Nabatea1;3307666]It's neolithic, but the area with the greatest Arabian impact would be Libya. The Arabs had an impact on the paternal lineages, but this is more recent and traces to the 10th century, when the Shia Bedouin tribes invaded North Africa like the Banu Hilal. At this time time most of North Africa adhered to Shiaism, but the Zirid a Berber group broke away and became Sunnis, this angered the Fatamid Caliphs, so they enlisted the Banu Hial and other related Bedouin tribes to invade North Africa in this process. The Banu Hilal would be responsible for Arabization of North Africa, however due to being a minority they could not maintain their ethnic and sectarian affiliation, so they became assimilated with the numerous Berbers and became Sunnis themselves in the process but Arabization occured. Today the Banu Hilal influence is greatly found in culture, and to some extent bloodlines in Libya, as well the tribes that followed them. The more you go west the less the Arabian impact is, the more you go east it's more heavy.[/QUO]
