Probably just happened to be in the right place at the right time- in the refugias while untold groups died out outside of those zones.

I doubt that it is basal with a broad brush since one of the most basal rich samples known: the Zagros neolithic ones were only partially selected for the derived variant of A5 and only had the...

EHG was quite different from WHG. Based on what I have seen, late ANE like AG2 and basically all EHG had light skin and on pigmentation charts EHG turns up lighter than CHG and Yamnaya in all aspects...

So GoyetQ116-1 is an outlier among the broader unsampled western Aurignacian populations then?

Interesting, so could the tad Magdalenian (which by extension would also have GoyetQ116-1 type ancestry) explain the mild eastern tendency in WHG when Kostenki's basal is set to 0?
Still, do you...

Sumerian and other early Mesopotamian autosomal DNA has not been published yet, however I would expect them to be mostly descended from a mixture of Anatolia neolithic and Iran neolithic people, with...

Both Bichon and Loschbour have some of the Aurignacian-magdalenian (Goyet type) ancestry along with some ANE as well. They are still mostly Continenza/WHG, but not as good of a proxy as Continenza...

The "Villabruna" cluster should have been more aptly named "Continenza" cluster, but I guess Continenza is a more recent discovery.

I came across the following a while ago: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0080673 and it indicates that Persians have more U4 than U5, however the known Sintashta...

This was supposed to refer to the cluster as a whole?:

>there must have been gravettians who remained unadmixed WHG, because their descendants, the Villabruna was unadmixed WHG

Because I...

Was Villabruna 1 really unadmixed? He had an ANE yDNA lineage. I would have thought that grotta continenza would be a better example of an unadmixed WHG.

Given how it was substantially present in both western Asia and in Europe, and how there was an east to west movement of this type of ancestry within stone age Europe, I would guess that they would...

Fair enough

Yes typically there is a little Iran neolithic on the side in Caucasus just like there is a little bit of CHG on the side in Iran and Iraq. As far as craniometry is concerned, that part of my post is...

Just a bit of advice: use Iran HG/neolithic and CHG as different components. As far as CHG are concerned, only a broken skull and a single bone in another sample are the known cases. As far as Iran...

I know that this is an old post, but pre-Villabruna Europe belonged to a different HG population. So what if the entire UHG population is closely related to Villabruna cluster while older European...

"Tomb I could not have housed Phillip the II, and the results further weaken the argument that Arrhidaeus was entombed in Tomb II"

Probably the most indirect way of saying that Phillip II is most...

Regarding the Aryans who went into south Asia- there are 3 known samples from Dashtikozy which average at something like ~64% steppe eneolithic-like or ~90% Krasnoyarsk-like ancestry. They basically...

Did they use the Xuchang 2 cranium for the projected shape of the skull?

According to this here:https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/ea39/fc41b5d6d547237ab968cd95f477a4d06e27.pdf a higher brain pH/more alkaline brain correlates more strongly with verbal IQ than with...

Yes, I think there was some R2a in Iran neolithic remains and as far as the R1b is concerned, it could have come from interactions with Afanasievo/Okunevo people.

What if Zoroastrianism started as a BMAC reaction to Andronovo migrations?
