He is wrong about the Ossetian part though. Ossets call themselves Alan which is basically derived from Aryan and They call themselves Iron which is a loudshifted version of Iran and derives from Aryan too.

How was I wrong? I always pushed the idea of North/Northwest (just South of the Caspian) Iran to Southeast Caucasus (West of the Caspian) and than more towards North. And as we see from this Hajji Firoz sample, he is 5500 BCE and if anything he is more of an ancestor to Leyla Tepe. I always...

Also interesting few years ago some scientists argued based on the vocabulary of Indo Europeans, the proto homeland would be close to a sea surrounded by mountains . That horse riding Steppe thing is actually more Indo_Iranic specific.

See as I wrote above many of these typical "Indo_Aryan" phoenitc developements can be considered as Proto Indo_Iranian. The H loud or today X is actually In Proto Indo_Iranian also S. See as example the H loud in middle iranic for sister that evolved from the S sound. Proto Indo_Iranic was S...

I will list you few reasons why I think Akkadians did not come down from North. 1. There is no sign of anything Semitic during Sumerian period North of them. The only people known are 1. Hurrian like people and the Gutians. 2. Actually Akkadian text themselves attest East Semitic tribes...

See this is the problem I have. It is actually not clearly Indo_Aryan substrata. The "clearly" Indo Aryan substrata you are speaking about are basically the names of few deities that some of them are actually not clearly Indo_Aryan to begin with and some other that simply disappeared among...

During Calcolthic you actually have already the whole "Semite package" there in the Southern Levant. There is no reason to assume Semites formed in Iran imo. There was most definitely ongoing influence from Iran towards the Semites/Levant and vica versa but the Semite package was already formed...

As I wrote above, the whole Semitic package already formed in the South Levant by Calcolthic. There is no need for Semites evolving in Iran and turning back to Levant cause, the Levant_Neolithic package includes most ancestry that is shared between all Afro_Asiatic speakers. So when the Berbers...

I almost turned crazy by trying to explain some people here and elsewhere the connection of the wagons in the Caucasus and further south to the chariots on the Steppes. Telling them that chariots are basically war wagons/carts. And I also repeatedly told people that the oldest Kurgans are found...

Guilty, told on Eurogenes that we would find ANE like population in South_Central Asia, simply cause it was to near to Siberia where we already found the ANE kid Mal'ta. But some users claimed it impossible. I also argued that this ANE population was originally from Central Asia. My argument...

afaik the Kura sample was R1b m269. There is also the Tepe Hasanlu sample which turned out Z2103. Some people argued he was some Steppe dude. Seems he is a descend of Hajji Firoz

Hurrian has not been grouped with any modern language family so far and is usually considered a "isolated language". That usually means they simply couldn't get them into any modern language family. However some Russian scientists argue about similarities to modern Northeast Caucasian languages...

Pre Proto Semites and Proto Semites most definitely came from South_Levant that should be clear by now. As they seem to share Levant_Neolithic ancestry with their Berber and Egyptian cousins + E1b and J1 being the most typical Haplogroups for these groups. And Levant_Neolithic being the time...

Kurdish scientists are arguing for decades that the Mitanni came to be born from Gutians that merged with the Hurrians. They argue that at least this Indo_Iranian substrata in Mitanni are the Gutians. They also argue that the Medes came to be born after the Assyrians conquered Mitanni, and this...

Agree, but the thing is, we had found signs of Iran_Neo/CHG admixture in these Baltic samples but no EHG admixture in NW Iran. This Hajji Firuz m269 sample might be the reason why the authors pointed that out to begin with. NW Iran is pretty much in the sphere of Leyla Tepe influence. I always...

Correct, just by looking at the sample size in this paper. Steppe samples alone are twice as many as samples from Iranian Plateau and South_Central Asia. Every region outside the Steppes and Europe is very undersampled.

Iran and Turkmenistan are neighbouring countries and as we see from the aDNA data probably belonged to the same ancestry for most.

Also interesting J2a in MLBA Steppes.

By Bronze Age some Balkan H&G ancestry would still have survived in the Balkans. That doesn't need H&G themselves to survive in the region. And those Balkan H&G were pretty much WHG with some ANE like admixture. Some people even described them as quite similar to SHG.

But you are ignoring the fact that opposite to these Myceneans the Americas that speak a German language share at least 1/3 of their ancestry from these very Germanic people that brought their language there. And importantly this Elite Dominance is also mirrored in their yDNA that is in far...
