Thanks again.

Have they found other archaic admixture in Africans, that non-Africans don't have? Because they still haven't found any Neanderthal or Denisovan DNA in Africans?

I definitely agree.

Yes, I will try the Anthrogenica forum. Thanks!

OK, thanks. I really haven't read the full Supplementary info before, only bits and pieces. If I had, I would have clearly seen that the Basal Eurasians were discussed. What made it so confusing, is that not only has the Basal Eurasians not been discussed at any lenght in this forum, but...

Yes - the previous paper. This is from this month, and seems to have something new, about a "basal Eurasian population".

New article in "Nature" http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v513/n7518/full/nature13673.html "We sequenced the genomes of a ~7,000-year-old farmer from Germany and eight ~8,000-year-old hunter-gatherers from Luxembourg and Sweden. We analysed these and other ancient genomes with 2,345...

My result, all Norwegian back to the middle of the 17. century, when I connect to a few Danes, Finns, Germans and Dutch: EEF: 42,57355725 WHG: 40,99924797 ANE: 16,42719478

I tried all the different calculators at GEDmatch. Eurogenes was most in accordance with my myOrigins results at FTDNA for myself and two of my closest relatives. Dodecad was the least accurate, possibly because it is not updated.

To me, 1645 is "recent"! ;-) And it is within the 500 years of 23andme.

Nope, he belonged to the "school" of Viennese Classicism.

Do you have any recent ancestors that you know of from these areas? If not, it seems also 23andme could go further back than 500 years? I haven't tested with them myself, so I can't compare.

Thank you. I didn't think of paternal lines here, though. I mentioned NC because I have a couple of known Forest Finns families among my ancestors in the 17. century. I have not any NC in myOrigins, though, but my father and my maternal uncle have. The three of us also have Finnish matches or...

A 2nd cousin could be just that, but in my experience my 2nd-4th cousin matches are often a few generations further back, due to multiple lines from one or a few common ancestors back in the 17. or 16. centuries.

Since there are quite a few dark haired people in the Scandinavian countries today, I presume many of these viking folks liked brunettes too! :-) More than sexual selection for specific traits, I find it more probable that most has boiled down to power and/or money. Just look around and see...

OK, if I understand this correctly: A certain % of North Circumpolar might be an influence streching back to 10 000 years, but it could also be much more recent (depending on the known papertrail).

I don't remember reading anything about "noise threshold" in myOrigins yet. You could try posting your question at the FTDNA forums, if you haven't already.

Yes, I am pretty sure at least some of the results must go back (far) more than 500 years. I forgot to mention in my previous post (#9) that of course the vikings brought back to Norway quite a few celtic slaves. We still find "celtic" R1b in Norway, so probably there is that type of autosomal...
