According to the studies carried out by both G. Lucott and G. Mercier using Y-chromosome haplotypes, a process which involved filtering Y-chromosome haplotypes of a large number of unrelated volunteers in Egypts Nile Valley by way of p49a,f TaqI polymorphism.
Their results showed that fifteen different p49a,f TaqI haplotypes are present in Egypt, the three most common being haplotype V, haplotype XI, and haplotype IV. Haplotype XI shows a preponderance in the south (in C - Nubia, 30.4%; B - Upper Egypt, 28.8%)
Haplotype XI is what the Institue of Anthroplogy refers to as E3b1, and originates among the East Africans - Borana, Somali, Oromo, e.t.c
Haplotype IV (E3A) was found to be almost absent in A (Delta 1.2%) and
preponderant in B (Upper Egypt 27.3%) and C (lower Nubia 39.1%)
Hence, the primary and common origins and relationships between ancient Egyptians and other Africans is evident.
Therefore, some of the modern day Egyptians are related to ancient Egyptians while most are not.
