Above is a map Davidski posted at Eurogenes in March, it came from this Russian PowerPoint. I think it may be based on these new Eurasian genomes, but not sure. Davidski said the new paper is a "Allentoft paper".
Quote from a Blogger Poster made Several hours ago.
Ok, so I've found this news article, in Russian: http://novostink.ru/science-technol...shih-territoriyu-armenii-5-tys-let-nazad.html
The name of the article: "Modern Armenians are descendents of the people who lived on the territory of Armenia 5 thousand years ago".
- 101 sample from different parts of Eurasia were analyzed
- 8 samples from Armenia, from Bronze and Iron Age
- Bronze Age samples are "virtually identical" to modern inhabitansts of Armenia
- 44 authors from 13 countries
- Paper will be published in a few days
Here are some Google Translated Quotes from the article she linked.
Most samples are from the Bronze age?Genetic analysis of 101 DNA samples from different parts of Eurasia was made to clarify the genetic portrait of a man of the Bronze Age.
So, contemporary to the Samara Yamnaya genomes.Today Armenians are descendants of people who lived in the territory of Armenia 5 thousand. Years ago
In turn, the director of the Institute of Archeology and Ethnography of the National Academy of Sciences Pavel Avetisyan added that the results of this study, conducted at Copenhagen University, will be published a few days later(Article is from 6/5 Friday) in a scientific paper, authored by 44 experts from 13 countries. "Armenia for the first time take part in this kind of program, and the results we got were quite interesting," - said Avetisyan.
5,000 years of continuation in Armenia probably means there's been continuation in much of North West Asia, not just Armenia. If Armenian-type people existed a few thousand years earlier, they're certainly the source of Samara Yamanaya's Armenian-like side. If IE languages came to Armenia and Anatolia(Hittites, etc.) from Yamnaya-types, the genetic impact by those IEs must be very small. Instead of gene flow from Bronze age Russia/Ukraine into West Asia we're seeing gene flow from Bronze age West Asia into Russia/Ukraine. What that reveals about origins of IE languages is debatable.
