It is here. I hope it works: https://www.eupedia.com/forum/threads/39919-Potential-R1a-M458-sample-discovered-in-Bronze-Age-South-West-Germany?highlight=bronze+age+R1a+M458

As it is labelled MX265, isn’t it the brand new R1a-M458 sample from iron age southern Germany. Dibran recently started a thread about it. I am quoting: « One sample on a upcoming paper on social and genetic structure of Late Neolithic Switzerland may belong to R1a-M458 pending further...

That might be the reason. Either those samples were not exclusively roman (autosomally speaking) or they share some older admixture with Balkanic antic peoples (which is labelled Roman given the limited number of balkanic samples). But this is just a hypothesis. Sent from my iPhone using...

I get a huge amount of Roman as well. One reason could be that other romanized populations are labelled as romans. For example the samples from Szolad. I do not know if you match them ? Another reason could be the fact that there are much more ancient roman samples tested than ancient samples...

I do not understand it either. In the breakdown, I have almost two times more Illyrian than Thracian but Illyrians do not even appear among my closest ancient populations.

R1a-CTS1211-CTS8816-Y2902 - YP3994 I saw in the recent paper « Ancient Rome : A genetic crossroad... » that Haplogroup R1a (+J1 & E1b) was present in Rome and/or its surroundings during the Imperial period 27-300 BCE (see Supp. Materials, p. 12) and Figure S5. It is not found anymore in Late...

I do not know for sure but the reasons can be multiple (genetic drift, bottlenecks, more or less succesful expansions after the 7th century). Besides, we also have to take into account that the original genetic make up of said tribes was not identical (which is also reflected by the frequencies...

Sorry if my question bothered you. I had well understood what you wrote, but asked since nowadays minorities pop up everywhere in Albania. In any case, thank you for adding the context. Historical input is always precious. I agree with you regarding R1a's various origins and the "slav unlike"...

I am Albanian (my fatherline originates from South Albania). I recently discovered that my Y-Haplogroup is R1a-CTS1211> CTS8816 > Y2902 > YP3994. R1a-M417represents around 8 % of the male lineages in Albania (9 % among Tosk Albanians only). As such, it is the fourth major male lineage in...
