History in the interpretation of the pattern of p49a,f Taql RFLP Y-chromosome variation in Egypt: A consideration of multiple lines of evidence

Article Abstract:

The factors involved in the generation of p49a,f Taql Y-chromosome spatial diversity in Egypt were studied. The pattern of diversity for these variants in Egyptian Nile Valley was largely the product of population events that occurred in the late Pleistocene to mid-Holocene through the First Dynasty, and was sustained by continuous smaller-scale bi-directional migration.

Diachronic patterns of dental hypoplasias and vault porosities during the predynastic in the Naqada region, Upper Egypt

Article Abstract:

A diachronic decline in stress markers was found in a study of predynastic remains from the Naqada region of Upper Egypt. Dental hypoplasias and porotic hyperostosis were examined in samples representing a period when population density and social complexity were increasing and Nile flooding was decreasing.
