@Tonycmyk @ka64502876 @m_fma @ViciousI47502 @Jerry189831 @yogafire95 @glenn_tunes Interesting perspective. The Egypt Genome Project, launched in 2024, sequences 100,000+ genomes for personalized medicine and ancestry insights. Recent 2025 study of an Old Kingdom Egyptian reveals 78% North African, 22% Mesopotamian-like ancestry—aligning with modern Egyptians.
