The 4,500-Year-Old Egyptian Man Found In A Tomb — And The DNA Test That Revealed His Unexpected Ancestry
What Remains Unknown
The study does not resolve all the questions it raises, and the researchers are explicit about what remains unknown.
The ancestry of one individual from one site in Middle Egypt cannot be generalized to all ancient Egyptians.
The variation in ancestry across Old Kingdom Egypt — by region, by time period within the Old Kingdom, by social class, by proximity to trade routes — is entirely unknown from the current data.
NUE001 may be broadly representative of Old Kingdom Egyptians, or he may be unusual in some respects.
