Original sentence: During Ottoman rule, black sub-Saharan slaves, usually transferred from Namibia over Egypt, were brought to Cyprus and sold to Muslim families.Many of their descendants rose to prominent positions and assimilated into the Turkish-speaking Cypriot community which, along with the frequent intermarriage of linguistic Turkish- and Greek-speaking Cypriots during the same period, creates a multiracial population — all within a single gene pool — in Cyprus today
Edited sentence: During Ottoman rule, black sub-Saharan slaves, usually transferred from Nubia over Egypt, were brought to Cyprus and sold to Muslim families.Further research by the American Journal of Human Genetics reveals that present-day Cypriot people, in terms of genetic haplogroups, are predominatley of multiracial Arab and African extraction (which includes having the haplogroups E1b1b and T).Many of their descendants rose to prominent positions and assimilated into the Turkish-speaking Cypriot community which, along with the frequent intermarriage of linguistic Turkish- and Greek-speaking Cypriots during the same period, creates a multiracial population in Cyprus today.This genetic mixing — which places all Cypriots within a single gene pool, distinct from those of neighbouring territories — is due to both the introduction of Nubian slaves as well as far earlier Egyptian, Arab and Persian rule of the island.This has been demonstrated by the highest rates of sickle-cell anaemia (Hb AS type) occurring in African-Caribbean, West African and Cypriot communities, with the type and location of the sickle haemoglobin gene in Cypriots corresponding to that of black Africans and thus being "of African origin"
