And, of course, worth noting that is some potential evidence for ppl of East Asian ancestry in Roman London too…https://twitter.com/caitlinrgreen/status/778304115638202368 …
Dr Caitlin Green added,
In sum, seems clear that there is, in fact, notable evidence for diversity in Roman Britain, & that we can start to put figures on this :)
I don't have the time to read all the interesting stuff you posted RN but I don't think anyone was doubting a large number of North Africans
In Roman Britain or throughout the empire. The crux of this silly debate is whether the BBC was PC propagandizing history with sub saharans
I think taleb was making the argument that there is almost no genetic evidence of sub saharan Africans in England.
Yet the data from York, London, Leicester etc relates directly to ppl of 'Sub-Saharan' ancestry :) And as I said yesterday, modern DNA >
> is methodologically v v difficult to use in this way, too much time and other events in the intervening yrs, cf. my occasional tweets >
> on the disconnect between modern DNA results and the popn of early medieval England etc :)
Thanks for the clarification! Personally I think this whole debate is sad. Were stuck on something the ancients apparently rarely considered
