Ramses III STRs predict 96.2% Sub-Saharan Africa via PopAffiliator. Hawass et al 2012 identifies Ramses III Y-haplogroup as E1b1a. E1b1a peaks at 80% in West Africa and 60% in Central Africa. DNA Tribes confirms Sub-Saharan ancestry in 20th Dynasty pharaonic families. PopAffiliator correctly assigns Sub-Saharan samples over 90% probability. Eurasian samples like Berbers and Saudis show 37-42% Sub-Saharan affinity. Ramses III haplotype matches sub-Saharan despite DYS390=21 rarity in E1b1b. Training data includes Somalis and Tanzanians identifying East African Sub-Saharans. 18th Dynasty pharaohs also predict Sub-Saharan ethnicity. E1b1a originates in Africa with no non-African peaks.
