Davidski didn’t like it but yes, apparently there is Aknashen-related in Yamnaya via the CLV but there is also Central Asian/Tutkaul-related, which is essentially ANE+Iran_N, also via the CLV, probably mediated by BP group. That does prove that there is recent South Caucasus ancestry in Yamnaya...

How do you think CLV ends up in Armenia? It got there from the steppe because earlier samples don’t have this "CLV" ancestry. Like always you’re unable to logical thinking.

They found steppe ancestry in BA Central Anatolia apparently. Caucasus-Lower Volga ancestry to be more precise.

That’s their opinion on that matter. PIA=Proto-Indo-Anatolian PIE=Proto-Indo-European PA=Proto-Anatolian

Here is a qpAdm run for the Aknashen population: right = c('Congo_Mbuti.DG', 'Anatolia_Boncuklu_N.SG', 'Iran_Wezmeh_N.SG', 'Satsurblia.SG', 'Morocco_OUB002_Epipaleolithic.SG','Italy_GrottaContinenza_HG.SG','RUS_Arkhangelsk_HG.SG','Botai.SG', 'Andaman 100BP.SG', 'RUS Primorsky DevilsCave N.SG'...

Thanks, interesting read. So they are going for a cline of CHG from the Lower Don (Krivyansky) to Lower Volga and North Caucasus for this older CHG ancestry. The second Aknashen_N ancestry they call CHG-related is a bit weird because it is very little CHG-like but already very West Asian with a...

The BPgroup is KhlopkovBugor(EHG)+ CHG/PVgroup that’s what I am also getting from the paper but that’s a lot of CHG-related ancestry that far up the Volga. They are not really answering this, it might seem there could be an 1) older cline with CHG on side and EHG on the other side, with...

After reading the paper there is something that doesn’t seem to be clear to me. The Berezhnovka BP group is modeled as CHG+EHG+Tutkaul. How do they explain the CHG-related ancestry that far north in the Volga? They say there is cline but the supposed cline explanation is too complicated and...

Yep, more or less but they call them Dnipro-Don people not EHG.

A genomic history of the North Pontic Region from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age Abstract The north Black Sea (Pontic) Region was the nexus of the farmers of Old Europe and the foragers and pastoralists of the Eurasian steppe, and the source of waves of migrants that expanded deep into Europe...

Those that show minimal Steppe ancestry are contaminated. That should especially be true for "Egyptian_Middle_Kingdom-Djehuty_Nakht_2100B.C:I6130" but if my memory serves me well also for "Egyptian_Middle_Kingdom_Period:Egyptian_1879bc:Nakht-Ankh". Contaminated samples are more or less useless...

The leaked information from twitter/x wasn’t entirely correct. There is no Bell Beaker ancestry in the Middle Kingdom, it’s actually just contamination.

Armenian is not from the Balkans. Genetic evidence implies a migration from the Steppe into Armenia by the MLBA. That’s probably why the Armenian language is positioned right next to the Caucasus in the original post by Max Planck linguist Rasmus Bjørn.

Steppe Ancestry in western Eurasia and the spread of the Germanic Languages Abstract Germanic-speaking populations historically form an integral component of the North and Northwest European cultural configuration. According to linguistic consensus, the common ancestor of the Germanic...

"Killers of the flower moon" looks very promising. I am definitely going to watch it.
