Genetic and Cultural Differences between Jews and Greeks

[Jovialis]

Not the best argument, because, sorry, but you may have forgotten that Anatolia_N and Levant_N and especially Anatolia_BA and Levant_BA are not "strongly divergent" sources of ancestry at all. They'd still be a lot less mixed than me. I could even add: poor guys! :grin: Just kidding.

And what makes them different?

Perhaps you should familiarize yourself with the latest study; Anatolian_BA, and Levant BA only share a little more than 50% ancestry with one another. The other half of Levant_BA (in the north) is from the previous population, prior to the arrival of Anatolian_BA. Regardless, as I have stated up-thread, the ABA that southern Europeans are modeled with, are based on the sample with the least amount of Levant_N.

Btw, simply finding that there is no Greek-like signature in later Philistines, is the equivalent of them being mixed out of existence.

Very clever and useful analysis, Regio. Thank you very much! I wonder what proxy samples they used to represent Anatolia_N. Only Barcin ones, some Barcin ones, or all published Anatolia_N samples, including Tepecif Ciftlik, Kumtepe and Boncuklu as well? If you include the latter in your model using individuals, not averages, and applying 0 higher distance, you get much lower Levant_N (because Kumtepe and Tepecik-Ciftlik had more Natufian IIRC) in a similar proportion to the one estimated in Lazaridis' model, but CHG is what is really underestimated:

Oh really.

 

[Ygorcs]

now you assume that the Anatolian who migrated in Europe ( or at least in south east Europe) were Barcin-like and not Tepefic-like, even if Kilinc 2016 suggests it was ( and yes, it could also have been that first Barcin-like anatolians migrated, and were later substituted by a more Tepefic mixed with Caucasus admixture, that could have been the case for the post-neolithic caucasus related geneflow that hit southeast europe). Also according to the latest study on AF, https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-019-09209-7, the one that migrated to Europe were the CAF, that had already a 20% Levant_N admixture ( and visually on the PCA they fall right on top of the EEF cluster).

No, please, are you now going to say it is me who is claiming that EEF were mainly Barcin_N-like? Virtually ALL genetic studies published so far (up to 2020, we're way past 2016) assume that as a given and produce all their models based on Barcin_N. If you have a major disagreement with that, which just happens to be shown by hobbyist tools as well, you should contact the majority of geneticists of Europe and elsewhere.

Also, you clearly misread what Kilinc 2016 suggests. The authors in that study suggest that Tepecik-Ciftlik had quite higher affinity to Kumtepe (NEOLITHIC ANATOLIA), Ötzi Ice Man (CHALCOLITHIC) and Remedello (EARLY BRONZE AGE) than to ANY OTHER Anatolian or European Neolithc population sample. They also explicitly claim that Tepecik-Ciftlik-like ancestry (was it because of direct gene flow or just a similar genetic history involving Barcin-N-like, CHG/Iran_N and some Levant_N?) was found in Italy and Greece at least by the Chalcolithic.

By the Chalcolithic. In Italy and Greece. They made no such sweeping claims about all the Neolithic expansion in the entire continent of Europe. Even if they did, why should I give this 2016 study more credit than to age the hundreds of other genetic studies that find Barcin_N a better fit? I shouldn't.

As for the CAF, I think you might be misunderstanding something: if Barcin_N and other Anatolia_N samples already had ~20% Levant_N, the modesl won't pick ANY EXTRA amount of Levant_N unless there is really some additional Levant_N that cannot be accounted for by the much more prevalent Barcin_N. That's a given.

 

[Ygorcs]

And what makes them different?

Perhaps you should familiarize yourself with the latest study; Anatolian_BA, and Levant BA only share a little more than 50% ancestry with one another. The other half of Levant_BA (in the north) is from the previous population, prior to the arrival of Anatolian_BA. Regardless, as I have stated up-thread, the ABA that southern Europeans are modeled with, are based on the sample with the least amount of Levant_N.

I have, thanks. Virtually all the genetic components in Anatolia_BA and Levant_BA were shared, with proportions varying, and they were much closer than they had been in the Neolithic, even though even by the Neolithic they were far more related to each other than they were to any other surrounding regional population group like WHG, EHG, CHG, Iran_N and so on.

Btw, simply finding that there is no Greek-like signature in later Philistines, is the equivalent of them being mixed out of existence

Of course it isn't, unless you also call emigration or annihilation "mixing", too. But okay, everyone has a right to choose one's own vaguer or narrower terminology.

 

[Palermo Trapani]

Exactly. As I said before there are 3 possible implications that do have a lot of historical relevance:
1) South Italy/Sicily was peopled by Pelopponese_N-type people with a bit more Levantine and CHG/Iran_N affintiies, unlike the vast majority of Europe, mainly inhabited by Barcin_N-type people;
2) Sicily_MN, Sicily_EBA and Sicily_MBA are not just minorities or outliers and in fact South Italy as a whole was more "typical" EEF initially, more Barcin_N-like (with minor WHG of course), and a major genetic/ethnic change towards a more Aegean-like EEF happened after the Neolithic;
3) between the MLBA and the IA a minor but notable change happened due to influx of people enriched in Levant_N and, less so (because this kind of ancestry was already expanding there since the Neolithic), CHG/Iran_N-related people.

How does that not matter at all, particularly when other people are not simply saying "I think the actual genetic contribution was lower than that", but that it is totally negligible and the whole matter is not just irrelevant but perhaps even annoying (I really wonder why)? All the 3 possibilities would have significant historical implications.
If researching possible population movements and admixture events doesn't matter at all, we could just as well keep the outdated myths like the Paleolithic Continuity theory or something like that... but now only revamping it to become the Neolithic Continuity theory.

YGORCS: So lets take your theory as outlined in points 1, 2 and 3 above and these different sources of Neolithic EEF from Pelopponese, vs. Barcin, va Aegean. In post 435, Angela cited the Klinc et al 2016 paper which plotted the various Neolithic sources of EEF ancestry, how they plot, etc. I posted the top 25 distances for Kumteppe006, KumTeppe004, Barcin_8 and Barcin_31 and I1584. Just eyeballing the distances, Sicilian I7996 and Sicilian_Beaker I4930 show up there, KumTeppe004 has the poorest Fits, but they all tend to be some of the various Romans from different periods, I1584 , close to Bronze age Balkans and Imperial Romans. Barcin_8 and Barcin_31, Sicilians I10371, I4109, I3125 both have good distances to. However, with this little exercise, both Kumtepe type ancestry and Barcin seem to have been in Sicily concurrently by the Bronze Age. However, which one was there first. Looking at the Minoans, and other ancient Greeks, they seem to be some closer to Kumtepe, some closer to Barcin samples. Tepecik samples are not in Dodecad, but are in Eurogenes K13, however, Euro K13 does not have the Sicilian samples.

[Ygorcs]

Oh really.

Oh God, must I really say that it is obvious that using Tepecik-Ciftlik, the most CHG/Iran and Levant_N-admixed of all samples, will decrease the proportion of Levant_N? I'm sure I mustn't, and you all can interpret these models beyond the literal surface.

 

[Jovialis]

I have, thanks. Virtually all the genetic components in Anatolia_BA and Levant_BA were shared, with proportions varying, and they were much closer than they had been in the Neolithic, even though even by the Neolithic they were far more related to each other than they were to any other surrounding regional population group like WHG, EHG, CHG, Iran_N and so on.



Of course it isn't, unless you also call emigration or annihilation "mixing", too. But okay, everyone has a right to choose one's own vaguer or narrower terminology.

Because of Iran-like Admixture into both populations, of course there is going to be overlap. Btw, how the hell do you explain continued genetic continuity in the Anatolian-CHG cline, as stated by the author, and while the Levantines experienced massive change to their admixture levels, as being one in the same. Do you consider mestizos, and "pure" Iberians, as being one in the same? Because it is the same dynamic.

 

[Ygorcs]

YGORCS: So lets take your theory as outlined in points 1, 2 and 3 above and these different sources of Neolithic EEF from Pelopponese, vs. Barcin, va Aegean. In post 435, Angela cited the Klinc et al 2016 paper which plotted the various Neolithic sources of EEF ancestry, how they plot, etc. I posted the top 25 distances for Kumteppe006, KumTeppe004, Barcin_8 and Barcin_31 and I1584. Just eyeballing the distances, Sicilian I7996 and Sicilian_Beaker I4930 show up there, KumTeppe004 has the poorest Fits, but they all tend to be some of the various Romans from different periods, I1584 , close to Bronze age Balkans and Imperial Romans. Barcin_8 and Barcin_31, Sicilians I10371, I4109, I3125 both have good distances to. However, with this little exercise, both Kumtepe type ancestry and Barcin seem to have been in Sicily concurrently by the Bronze Age.

Did you also take a look at the Sicily_MN and other Italian Neolithic samples? Both hypotheses are plausible, but it is far more likely that you simply had Barcin_N-like people with a little WHG arriving first just like almost everywhere else in Europe and simply getting gene flow from CHG/Iran-enriched and even later more CHG/Iran-enched as well as, now, also Levant_N-enriched people over time. Layers of admixture upon earlier layers of admixture. Or do you think two clearly distinct populations settling Europe in the Early Neolithic and living concurrently but with little or no admixture with each other and also with any foreigners up to the Bronze Age is really more realistic?

 

[Angela]

Don't get your hopes up, because the modeling in the study doesn't suggest that.

Of course, why believe one of the authors of the paper, who see him as Crete like when our own hobbyist expert sees it otherwise?

 

[Leopoldo Leone]

No, please, are you now going to say it is me who is claiming that EEF were mainly Barcin_N-like? Virtually ALL genetic studies published so far (up to 2020, we're way past 2016) assume that as a given and produce all their models based on Barcin_N. If you have a major disagreement with that, which just happens to be shown by hobbyist tools as well, you should contact the majority of geneticists of Europe and elsewhere.

Also, you clearly misread what Kilinc 2016 suggests. The authors in that study suggest that Tepecik-Ciftlik had quite higher affinity to Kumtepe (NEOLITHIC ANATOLIA), Ötzi Ice Man (CHALCOLITHIC) and Remedello (EARLY BRONZE AGE) than to ANY OTHER Anatolian or European Neolithc population sample. They also explicitly claim that Tepecik-Ciftlik-like ancestry (was it because of direct gene flow or just a similar genetic history involving Barcin-N-like, CHG/Iran_N and some Levant_N?) was found in Italy and Greece at least by the Chalcolithic.

By the Chalcolithic. In Italy and Greece. They made no such sweeping claims about all the Neolithic expansion in the entire continent of Europe. Even if they did, why should I give this 2016 study more credit than to age the hundreds of other genetic studies that find Barcin_N a better fit? I shouldn't.

As for the CAF, I think you might be misunderstanding something: if Barcin_N and other Anatolia_N samples already had ~20% Levant_N, the modesl won't pick ANY EXTRA amount of Levant_N unless there is really some additional Levant_N that cannot be accounted for by the much more prevalent Barcin_N. That's a given.

Ok, there I misread the paper and recalled wrongly, no problem for me to admit when I get something wrong. Still, if such ancestry has been found since the calcolithic, why do you propose another significant migration from north Levant (because Anatolian had only a 6% additional Levant_N ancestry, not enough to give an average 10% to Italians and Greeks)? Aren't we talking about an event that you proposed happened between the late bronze age and iron age?
Also, as for tepecik, judging from the PCA, they seem just Anatolian pulled versus the caucasus/iran, so if there's some Levant_N it was not enough to pull significantly southeast visually, and as far as I recall, they aren't modelled with any additional Levant_N ( I might be wrong, though). Let's remember that your thesis is precisely that "there was another migration of Levant_N rich population between the late bronze age and the iron age, and if we take that window of time, Levant-BA was already half Levant_N so in order to give an average 10% at least it ought to have contributed to a 20% to the gene pool of south Italians, and it is implausible that such a massive migration could have left no archeological records ( and that's why I think you speculated about a Philistine back migration into Greece and then Italy).

 

[Ygorcs]

One and the same? Where did I say that? I said they were not strongly divergent populations mixing unlike my own origins (mostly European + Native American + African), since you thought it necessary to point that out. They weren't. It's not a matter of opinion, really. Natufians and Anatolia_HG were very much related, Levant-N and Anatolia_N were even more related due to strong Anatolia_N introgression in the Levant, Levant_BA and Anatolia_BA were even more related due to receiving similar gene flows from CHG/Iran_N populations, and so on. Comparing this situation with Europeans meeting Native Americans in the colonial era completely miss the point.

 

[Jovialis]

@Ygorc,

-Lazaridis said 6% is the average of Levant_N for Anatolian_BA.

-I2683 has the least amount of the three samples

-I2683 is used to model southern Europeans

-Ergo, Levant_N is much less than 6% in Southern Europeans.

-Any additional Levant_N ancestry would have come via the North African Moors.

Even if it was, it is in all Europeans, you are trying to point out excess amounts. Thus, that point is moot.

 

[Ygorcs]

Why are you always so sure about that? North Africans even in North Africa these days are not very much Levant_N-like at all. They're more ANF+Taforalt than anything else.

 

[Ygorcs]

That Anatolia_BA is EARLY Bronze Age, we don't know which parts of Italy were still like Isparta_EBA in the LBA and during the IA. We also don't know how Crete was like genetically at that time. We also don't know exactly what the genetic structure in South Italy was like during the BA. It might have involved one particular population that had more CHG/Iran and Levant_N in comparison with the other populations o. Then there were Phoenicians (already documented in aDNA samples from Sardinia), Jews, Romanzied Eastern Romans as a whole etc. Successive layers of admixture may have caused that increase over centuries or even millennia. Why should we assume just 1 major admixture event once? Some change(s) happened from the Neolithic until the modern era: more steppe ancestry, more Levant_N, more CHG/Iran_N. It may have taken place in many different ways that will only be clarified once we have a lot more aDNA samples.

 

[Leopoldo Leone]

"It is in all Europeans" - so what? Are you really thinking we're discussing the degree of "Europeanness" of South Italians here? Oh, please... I think you people really need to get past your traumatic experiences with racists.

I think Jovialis pointed that out just to say that it is not necessary to postulate a significant migration of people from the Levant (or that carried Levant_N insuperior quantity than the bronze age anatolians), but we could agree that it is not discussing whether this "extra Levant_N" is really there and there was a yet unadressed donor or if it is just an artefact of your models. According to the current Literature south Italians ( and Greeks, mainlanders and islanders ), can be modelled with Anatolia, Steppe and Iran_neolithic ( and a bit of north african for Sicilians ).

 

[Ygorcs]

Of course, why believe one of the authors of the paper, who see him as Crete like when our own hobbyist expert sees it otherwise?

Modern Crete or Minoan Crete? That matters.

 

[Jovialis]

Why are you always so sure about that? North Africans even in North Africa these days are not very much Levant_N-like at all. They're more ANF+Taforalt than anything else.

North African populations are indeed formative to Levantine ones. Natufians were formed out of Ancestral North Africans Mixing with Dzudzurna in the Levant. Even 23andme lists the southern part of the middle east as North African like. It is the major discernable difference for Jewish, and West Asian populations compared to European ones with ABA in Raveane et al 2019 (NorthAfrica1). It is a fact that North African-like admixture exists in these populations, which is not detectable in every South Italian cohort, or other Southern European populations with ABA (I2683). Ergo, given the history of the Caliphate in Sicily, I think it is more likely that this ancestry arrived with the Moors, that had a more significant impact with them. Rather than arriving much earlier in formative Italian populations, by any significant degree.:

Ergo, ABA+North African = Levant

Why else would it exist in such large amounts in the middle east, by 1/3rd?

 

[Angela]

No, Anatolia_BA, which Lazaridis modelled as having 9.5% Natufian and 17% Levant_BA in feasible models added to Anatolia_Chl and Minoan_Lassithi. Have you missed that post in this thread? And we all also know Levant_N itself was not any higher than 60% Natufian. So, yes, higher Levantine affinity is there in Anatolia_BA. I know, that must sound awful and tragic to some, but I'm sure it's not so bad. In either case, look, there is a great consolation: it's never any more than ~10% in average, so it's all perfectly manageable.

Well, contrary to what you say, geneticists have already point out the similarities between South Sicily/Sicily and Anatolia_BA. They don't need to be spoon-feeding every detail of what that means.

I am getting really sick of your virtue signalling and your snide comments about the people here, virtually saying that anyone who disagrees with your analysis is a racist.

I don't give a damn if there's 10% or 20% or more Levant like ancestry in Southern Italians/Sicilians. My main point has always been that I think there's a strong possibility that however much there is it started arriving pretty early, perhaps in the Neolithic, certainly by the Chalcolithic and then in the Bronze.

I see absolutely nothing in the history to indicate a migration specifically from the Levant in the Iron Age, for example.

As an aside, were you one of the "modelers" who was so sure there was a migration from Anatolia to Tuscany a la Herodotus? I think that's important to know. If you went for a job as a population geneticist they'd sure want to know if you were right or wrong about that.

Now, if you don't cut out the insults and the use of the race card just because people disagree with you there are going to be consequences.

It's the last time I'm going to warn you.

 

[Ygorcs]

I think Jovialis pointed that out just to say that it is not necessary to postulate a significant migration of people from the Levant (or that carried Levant_N insuperior quantity than the bronze age anatolians), but we could agree that it is not discussing whether this "extra Levant_N" is really there and there was a yet unadressed donor or if it is just an artefact of your models. According to the current Literature south Italians ( and Greeks, mainlanders and islanders ), can be modelled with Anatolia, Steppe and Iran_neolithic ( and a bit of north african for Sicilians ).

Of course they CAN. Every time you have only =<10% admixture from some not so strongly divergent source population that was anyway ~50-60% derived from or very simiklar to another source population already included in the model, you will probably get reasonably good fits with a simpler model nonetheless. The fits won't be much worse just because it lacks some specific broadly related reference that is found in minor proportions.

"Significant" is something that often appears here, but I think people should use less vague language. What's "significant" to you, to other people, to me? 5% is not "negligible" (another word often used in this thread) to me, 10% is not insignificant in my book, but it may be so in other people's.
