Interesting. The report was short on detail, especially about any groups
other than E3b and J. It does say the Northern Egyptian sample consisted of
44 Arabic-speaking men from Mansoura and the Southern Egyptian sample was 29
Arabic-speaking men from Luxor. Given those pie charts, they couldn't have
found too many R1(xR1a) men, but I suppose finding any could be significant,
given the location.
