Okay, there doesn't seem to be much in the news about DNA this week, and I'm bored, so I'm going to suggest that we try to guess the Y DNA and autosomal results of the paper by David Reich et al addressing the genotyping of more than 40 3000-9000 year old humans from the Samara region of the Russian steppes. I'm guessing that the Y DNA will be exclusively or almost exclusively R1a, but I'm wondering if anyone wants to vote for there being significant amounts of another Y haplotype, such as R1b or J2. Also, I'm guessing that the DNA will prove to be exclusively or almost exclusively ANE, but I'm wondering if anyone wants to guess that the results will include significant amounts of EEF or WHG.
If a moderator wanted to make this into a voting poll, that would be fine with me.
