Yeah, I don't know what to make of that. And Motala 12 and La Brana have 29.52% and 36.25%. Why would these Hunter-Gatherers have that much Early Neolithic Farmer in them? And that result's inconsistent with other calculators, although Genetiker's most recent calculator shows Loschbour with...

The calculator is now on Gedmatch. I ran some of the oldest ancient samples through it and got the following results: Population Kennewick Man Anzick 1 Mal'ta Boy Motala 12 Palaeo- Eskimo Kostenki 14 Ust'- Ishim Loschbour La Brana Stuttgart Amerindian 69.19%...

I suspect Genetiker probably made it. That's just my opinion based on reading his blogs, though. And I think it was just recently made, and will have to stand the test of time as to how well it will hold up. I'd much like to see these new genomes' results on Dienekes' and Davidski's calculators...

RISE 98 in southern Sweden has the earliest known occurrence of R1b-U106. Maybe this is where that branch of R1b acquired most its blond hair from: from mixing with both the Y-dna I hunter gatherers, some samples of which have genes associated with blond hair, and the R1a Battle Axe people there...

Yes, some of West European did originate there, it looks like. Maybe, or even perhaps probably, most of it did. The Atlantic component in Eurogenes15 looks pretty indigenous to Europe to me, though. Interestingly though, Kennewick Man has 7.2% Atlantic in Eurogenes15; whereas Anzick 1 has...

Afontova Gora 2 was 45% West European on Dodecad v3, and the Mal'ta boy was 35% West European there. What was West European doing there anyway? Interesting question. Afontova Gora 2 also had 20% Gedrosia and the Mal'ta boy had 25% Gedrosia. So I think those West European and Gedrosia components...

The autosomal DNA sample from Kennewick Man is available on Gedmatch.com as Kit Number: F999970. I ran the admixture results there for several different calculators and got the following results: For the Eurogenes Hunter_Gatherer vs. Farmer Admixture Proportions, it picks up 3.84% Mediterranean...

I'd be interested to see if there's any correlation between mtDNA K1 and IQ in the non-Jewish European population - or in any non-Jewish population. I wouldn't be too surprised if there were a small correlation, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were none either.

I'm glad the raw data for those new ancient genomes are publicly available. So hopefully we'll see whether some of them have those West Med/East Med components.

I didn't find Estonians for Dodecad K12b, but I found two Lithuanian samples there. Here are the Dodecad K12b results, and also the Eurogenes K15 results. I guess since more than 93% of the genes of these modern Balts comes from the first four categories in Eurogenes 15, maybe they are the...

Is this the one you mean? RISE00 Sope, Estonia F999955 F H5a1 ~2000 years http://www.y-str.org/p/ancient-dna.html Population Gedrosia 9.76% Siberian 0.27% Northwest_African - Southeast_Asian - Atlantic_Med 32.02% North_European 56.99% South_Asian 0.96% East_African -...

I agree. I guess we'll wait and see in the next 5 or 10 years what the results will bring. No way modern Germans can have 7% Gedrosia, Corded Ware 22%, and then Lithuanians and Belorussians 0%. I can see maybe 3 percent but not zero.

I can think of a third possible explanation now for why Lithuanians have 0% Gedrosia. I was reading one of the comments on the Eurogenes site where the poster was providing an explanation for why the admixture results of the Bell Beaker samples varied so widely among the samples. And he said the...

Yeah, I think a glitch in the calculator is the most likely explanation for Lithuanians have 0% Gedrosia. I guess the algorithm just doesn't do its job in picking up a similar component in them. Since the ancient Western European Hunter Gatherers don't have it either though, maybe that suggests...

According to this page: http://www.y-str.org/p/ancient-dna.html Kennewick Man belongs to Q-M199, which is downstream of Q-M3 and is only found in South America. I took a sneak look at some admixture runs of Kennewick Man from a link on his page. There were four Dodecad v3 runs made, and I...
