This is me. I'm of full northern italian ancestry. Question: might the scythian "ancestry" be real somehow? Your closest Ancient populations...Gallo-Roman + Roman (2.919) Roman (4.68) Scythian + Roman (4.763) Gallo-Roman (7.774) Scythian (10.0) Your closest Archaeogenetic matches... 1...

Thin and short (around 1,60 m) young woman. Age around 30 years old.

Hey there, please classify and geographically "locate" the present mayor of Rome, Virginia Raggi. She's 1.65 m tall. I hope nobody already posted her, it's my first time on Eupedia after a long break...! :sad-2:

My results are 25% Hunter-gatherer 59% Farmer 16% Metal Age invader 0% non european Metal Age invader is CHG in my opinion, maybe they'll change something in the near future, I don't know. I hope they refine the non-european set, in order to see the ancestral origins of users from outside of...

Well, not a MAJOR change, but anyways pretty important: I received a message by Genographic, they wrote me they "refined" my genetic results. Well, I was a R-Z36; now, I'm a R-P37. The major clade is the same as before - R-U152, but the subclade appears significantly different. Geno shows me L2...

I have jewish diaspora (2%) myself (I'm northern italian). I haven't any known jewish ancestor, just like the thread opener. I think it's actually a neolithic input in most of Eurasia, with some more recent adding (from the early Middle Ages to contemporary age) in areas such as central Europe...

Have your say about this question. If a family belonging to population X receives gene flow from a population Y - a single admixture event, i.e. somebody mating with someone belonging to the main population at a certain moment in time - how will component Y dilute in the next generations? Let's...

Hey there, I'd like to show you my Geno NextGeneration results. I'd like to know what you think about them. My ethnic background is northern italian, from various provinces. First, my "hominin ancestry" dropped dramatically (I was a Geno 2.0 participant, too): it was very high, around 3%...

Hello, I tested with Geno 2.0, my haplogroup appeared to be R-Z36 (a clade of famous italo-celtic R-U152). I tested further with Geno NextGeneration, which analyzes DNA much deeper than its predecessor. They say my Y-DNA haplo is now labelled R-CTS8492. I supposed it's downstream to Z36, but I...

Italian football has always been mostly a North West Italy affair. Italian oldest clubs are northwestern: Genoa CFC (1893), Juventus FC (1897), AC Milan (1899), with the exception of north-eastern Udinese (1898). Just a few club could compete with north-western clubs, such as the two romans...

Rome isn't one the happiest cities of the world. At all. It's impossible... Romans are in the middle of a nightmare of disastrous administration, aggressive and uncivilized residents and guests, often interrupted, and highly dysfunctional, public services. I've been to Rome several times in the...

I stumbled across a thread on another forum discussing the Z36 clade of R-U152 (it's my own clade, by the way) and its relation between it and the Ligures, an ancient population that lived in N/W Italy, that formed the genetic basis of most present northern italians, along with celts and...

E-V13 is not particularly unusual in the central and eastern regions of the Mediterranean Basin, it's definitely well spread, also in areas far from Albania and Apulia. I don't know if a direct link between Illyrians and Messapians via haplogroup is actually possible...Maybe yes, maybe not.

I think the Etruscans were what many scholars, including Piazza and Cavalli-Sforza, too, stated: the fusion of a greco-anatolian èlite with the native population of ancient Tuscany (a "sardinian-like" post-neolithic population? Italics? Something else?). After the Cuma battle of 474 BC, the...
