Having the same admixture or clustering with a population, does not automatically mean looking like this population.
Some strange examples are early Neolithic samples from Greece who resemble Hunters in their appearance or Globular Amphora samples who resembles also a more Hunter-like appearance, despite of their farmer-like admixture. This could be due to early admixture with HG populations.
For some neolithic samples the actual calculators show no HG admixture, others can find it.
I came out as northern German by most calculators, my Y haplogorup is I1, but my appearance does not resemble this:
Yamnaya(73%) LBK Alföld (73%)
Hittite(70%) Anatolia HG (70%) Iron Gates HG (70%)
My wife (Danish by calculators) fits much better:
VikingsRus (76%)
Maglemose(75%) GlobularAmphora (75%)
She has dark blonde, straight hair, long face, upturned nose,blue eyes and light but little darker skin, very dolicocephalic.
Me on the opposite: Brown wavy hair, broad face, hooked nose, hazel eyes, very light skin, brachycephalic.
Trait analysis for Natufians:
-Round face, not much distance between nose and mouth
-European/African Eyelids, not Asian
-Upturned nose like in many Africans, but slim
-Thin lips
-Light brown or hazel eyes
-Mid brown skin
-Curly or wavy dark hair
Perhaps similar to Somali/Ethiopian?
But almost half of all SNPs for trait prediction are missing.
Ancient Egyptian samples are rare, I am just converting some fastq to bam but the whole quality of Egyptian samples I could find is low, perhaps too low for analysis. Lets see in a few days.
What study are they from? I would be interested to see them when they're done processing.
Also, what tool are you using for FASTQ to BAM conversion? I would like to know a good one to use.
