I also understand that this haplogroup is rare in Egypt, which kind of tells me that the Pharoahs didn't generally genetically mingle with the commoners, and secondly they may have been outsiders when the ascended to power. Wrong assumption. Modern Egyptians are immigrants to the region, who displaced and/or outnumbered the ancient Egyptians. The same thing is the case in Greece - and for the matter the United States.

It's not inevitable, yet, but the same thing could happen in Europe and perhaps North America again within the next five generations.
