West African ancestry

Hello.

I have read the University source (which seem very trustworthy) about the girl with West African heritage.

But in the linked paper, "The Anglo-Saxon migration and the formation of the early English gene pool", and didn't find any information about that ancestry in the cemetery. Is there something I missed? Or is that information given in another scientific paper?

Thank you. Knoterification (talk) 01:01, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

::If you are reffering to this paper https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-05247-2, than it doesn't seem to contain that information. Knoterification (talk) 23:40, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

:::No, I’m not referring to the paper, I’m referring to the source I linked, which says "{{tq|Her DNA, however, told a more complex story: as well as 67% Continental Northern European (CNE) ancestry, she also had 33% West African ancestry, most closely related to present-day Esan and Yoruba populations (a result that will be published elsewhere). Her burial took place around the early 7th century, placing her African ancestor (probably on her father’s side, as her mitochondrial haplogroup, which reflects the maternal line, is typical of a Northern European ancestry) in the first half of the 6th century – perhaps her grandfather?}}".

::::Yes, I read the article. I was asking about the scientific paper containing that information. Was it published? Knoterification (talk) 01:38, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
