Thank you Palermo. As usual your posts I find highly valuable.
Also, interesting thing. You are in my eyes the biggest proof there is continuity between certain ancient peoples of the Italian peninsula and modern ones. It might not be the case on an average basis. But when these discussions have been mentioned, you have popped in my mind, and I have amended my opinions when I would think different.
Edit: When the Pugliese I-M223 samples BAM file comes out I have a feeling you will find an ancient cousin.
ArchetypeOne: Your welcome my friend. Glad my posts add something to the forum and this thread in particular. Yes, it will be interesting to see how I plot relative to that I-M223 individual. As soon as the Kit is uploaded to GEDMATCH and sample is available at MTA, I plan to do the analysis. So you may be correct but on the other hand, I-M223 has been documented in Italy, Central Italy (Lazio) since late Mesolithic as those WHG in the Antonio et al 2019 paper were all I-M436, with 2 of them in the immediate downstream sub-clade I-M223. There is a pre-print "Genomic and dietary transitions during the Mesolithic and Early Neolithic in Sicily" that I am still hoping gets published soon and BAM files become publicly available as it has some samples from Trapani Province in Sicily (The Grotto Dell Uzzo site) not yet published. 4 WHG's are in the study and 2 of them are Y-DNA I, with one of them I-M436. There are 19 ancient Sicilian Genomes in that study. A couple of heavy hitters are on the paper, i.e. Haak and Krause.
