Modeling Ethio-Semites

Made sum calcs for these groups from taking samples of different forums.

Take it with a grain of salt if you want (:

Natufians are the true ancestor for Etho-Semites?

I added this SIM just for fun since I thought perhaps Etho-Semites had a major amount of Middle Eastern input. I noticed the fit got better so I looked around and figured that Arabians use this sample because of a theory that Natufians aren't really their ancestors, but came in through a later migration (prolly PPNB?), and their true ancestor was of a local group that split off from Levant earlier on.

They consist more of a basal input than natufians, at first, I wanted to use this for Somalis who seem to portray more "non-african" than usual, then I realized it worked well for Etho-semites.

lmk if y'all had similar topics and sources to add, jus learning.

Im trying to form an ancestral calc for East Africans, it's a mix of real samples and Sims but its difficult to model non Horners. some groups are easier but I feel like I'm missing something.
