I think Baltic reflects some steppe + extra EHG or Latvia_MN, in other words non-steppe EHG. This is why separate eastern component exists in North European cluster - Northwesterners don't have this "Baltic" extra EHG-like admixture or is much weaker in them. This is also why Baltics share most...

Probably Uralic speakers...?

The Eastern Euro-rich peoples (Mordvins, Finns) are also close to EHG on PCA, maybe even closer than Baltics. But in admixture (and some formal stats, for example here - extended data fig.7) they show some tendency to East Eurasian, so they move that way on PCA, whereas Baltics are West Eurasian...

In Eurogenes Basal-rich K7, Mari peoples are 21-25% East Eurasian. In K15 they are 24% Siberian, which is not pure East Eurasian component, so I think some East Eurasian can be in Eastern Euro. But it's a pure guess, maybe you are right that it is the West Eurasian part of their ancestry.

I also don't know :) Eastern Euro probably contains some Siberian admixture as it peaks in Mari and Chuvash, but it don't have to. It is a strong component in K15 admixture of early steppe cultures. I still think that Baltic is related to some extra EHG-like admixture, but it is probably also in...

I am not talking about K13 Baltic, this is obviously a different component. I am talking about K15 Baltic. And I repeat I don't think it is only a measurement of EHG admixture. Only thing I want to suggest for discussion is that I think this component is rich in ANE-WHG continuum, because Baltic...

Interesting, they also deviate quite much from Europe_LNBA in Lazaridis 2016 if you compare modern and ancient PCA. In this case towards something between EHG and SHG.

Ok, I don't say no, but it doesn't explain the excess of ANE admixture and shift towards EHG or Latvian_MN in modern Balts. I think this specific admixture is the reason. They clearly deviate from other Northern Europeans to something ANE and WHG rich on PCA.

I don't think that K15 Baltic=EHG, but I think the Baltic area is most EHG admixed area from Europe and has a specific "Baltic" component for this reason. Or is there another explanation for existence of this specificity? Let's dicuss.

I think Baltic in K15 is something like "extra EHG-like" admixture. It is not very high in Yamna kits, who have much more of North Sea and Eastern Euro. It peaks in places where Latvian HGs lived in neolithic Baltic area and probably substantially influenced living Balts and Slavs. This is could...

Looks... West Eurasian! :grin:

Me:

I don't know exactly the history of discussion about migration of I2a-Din here on forum, so I am sorry if I say something old. The new Mathieson's paper does not bring more light to history of this subclade. Or maybe yes, because the only sample with L147.2 mutation is not from Balkans, but it...
