Genetic history of Egypt
The genetic history of Egypt reflects its geographical location at the crossroads of several major biocultural areas: North Africa, the Sahara/Sahel, the Middle East, the Mediterranean and sub-Saharan Africa. == Genetic studies on ancient Egyptians == Egyptologist Barry Kemp has noted that DNA studies can only provide firm conclusions about the population of ancient Egypt if the sample results are of a significant number of individuals and represent a broad geographical and chronological range.
