Paper just got released, hopefully some treats in store - after such a long time waiting for interesting aDNA papers it better be worth it!

The ancient Mediterranean port city of Ashkelon, identified as “Philistine” during the Iron Age...
True actually, men also get their X chromosome only from their mother (even if it isn't matrilineal), I was too quick there. I still doubt what you're saying is correct though.
Lol, men do not only inherit IQ from their mothers, that's so dumb. The only unique thing you get from your mum is mtDNA - that's precisely the reason it's useful for distinguishing population migrations when the autosomes are all muddled up (and Y DNA is still much more useful than mtDNA)
Well that Dene-Caucasian theory made the most sense to me given Bell Beakers probably spoke Vasconic and I still like the idea the PIE was spoken by Anatolians originally.
It does seem far-fetched, but so does the whole Dene-Caucasian language family. R1b L23 PC Steppe-derived cultures were the...
But you're wrong. Anatolian Z2103 is far older than that, and it spread from the Caucasus as it is the West Asian variety. Your theory is wrong, so show some flexibility in changing it. There's no shame, I've changed a theory I held for a long time and was pretty confident in after the Maykop...
Not true, because it's of the West Asian variety. I would associate it with the Hattic-Kaskian branch.
I now believe in a hybrid Anatolian hypothesis, by the way, with LPIE spreading to Sredny Stog with C-T (Urheimat in Central Anatolia, same area as the very old Catalhoyuk on the Konya plain...
I am so looking forward to seeing these results (wait this doesn't even seem to be aDNA :sad-2:), to me these people are my precursors. Not in an edgy, macho, ethnocentric Albanian-like way, but this is the earliest group of people I can feel any sense of kinship towards.
Given the fact that there was a typical G2a farmer type amongst more CHG-heavy pred. J2 types that also expanded across Anatolia to Greece warfare is surely the only real solution no? I know farmers are seen as weak but surely they're not naturally submissive. Elite dominance via social status...

Anybody else as confused as I am? I thought there were only two remaining camps - the Southern origin associated with the source of Steppe CHG and the indigenous Northern Steppe origin. But now, it looks...
