While CHG and Iran_Neolithic are ultimately related, we knew there is some substructure here from the old Dienekes calculators, but they should not be confused. CHG is north European shifted and based on 13,000 skeletons from the Caucasus. Iran_Neolithic is based on far younger genomes, and...

Modern Anatolia is more than just EEF + Iran_Neo/CHG though. A lot of upheavals and changes happened to the Mid East in the later Bronze Age, perhaps with the entrance of the Hittites. Suddenly R1b appears, and no, it's not from central asian Turks.

Admixture from residual LBK groups in central Europe prior to moving to Britain. That's what the Rathlin paper suggested. I suspect the new paper will say the same. This isn't difficult folks. tr0lling for the sake of tr0lling and being contrary for the sake of it isn't beneficial. The latest...

The sub-branch referred to as "Balkan" of I2-M423 is only about 2200 years old and spread with an extremely recent founder. Yes, older branches exist in and around Poland/Belarus, but most Balkan men descend from a younger group under M423-L621. Perhaps prior to their arrival, the Balkans were...

I'm not really sure what you're getting at here. Maybe you'd like to ask the native French victims of terrorism who have been living in the territory of France for the last 20,000 years. A little hypocritical yourself no? Even you don't consider yourself French, and identify as "Chiwanese" yet...

What Tomenable omitted from his original post was that the I1 haplotypes were all the same, or at least most were, making the sample quite skewed and not likely a true representation of Germany. In other words, these I1's were related males, most likely from the same family, or an extended...

The most disappointing thing about this thread/forum and Davidski's blog is the constant flow of t r o l l s who argue their personal theories that aren't supported by any data at all. R1b has absolutely nothing at all to do with the ancient Caucasus, either north or south. R1b is clearly...

I was referring to this sentence in the abstract, re-quoting your post, but not saying you "said" it: "Using a novel method of quantitative analysis of ADMIXTURE output we find that the Slavic ancestry of Peloponnesean subpopulations ranges from 0.2 to 14.4%. Subpopulations considered by...

Well 0.2 to 14.4% is a pretty massive range. Unless the upper range is an outlier, I wouldn't say Slavic ancestry is non-existant by any stretch. Some groups in England are likely barely even 14.4% Anglo-Saxon, so let's keep this in perspective.

The SNPs indicate they were light-medium-dark brown hair. This range is the most common in Europe today. I'm still a little skeptical on the skin fairness SNPs. I'm not suggesting they were paste white looking Prince Harry's, but I have a hard time believing they were Tamil brown colour. It just...

I've known a red headed Turk from Azerbaijan. He was even lighter haired and more west European looking than the guy in the OP. The sequence of 4 men there. The top 2 look European, bottom two look part Middle Eastern. I know top right is Adam Levine, and is at least part Ashkenazi Jewish, but...

^Actually, Russian results are heavily biased to the NW of the country which is rich in R1a ,N1c and I2-M423. The steppes don't yield large populations in modern day. There's a lot of evidence pointing to M269+ spreading from the steppes. I'm not sure how you can actually refute this evidence? I...

No...it doesn't belong exclusively to the Romans, see his emphasis on the Yule, winter solstice and Santa Claus. And yes, there is political correctness at Christmas time in western countries. Are you listening to your buddy Trudeau again? On track to be the worst prime-minister in Canadian...

Too bad life isn't this simple. Elaborate more on your points. ie: Gender inequality? In what sense, and what would you do or suggest? Income redistribution?? Who qualifies? Define a "livable" wage? Do we all have equal talents? Do we all work hard? Not at all. I get what you are saying, to a...

@DebbieK From a population history stand point I have to disagree. We have seen YDNA patterns from ancient cultures, much less on the female side. While it may not always be exactly black or white, there have been some patterns. ie: R1a showing up in Corded Ware, H2 and G showing up in...

E-V13 is quite a bit higher in Austria than I would have expected. However, I believe both the levels of R1a and I1 are comparable to it. R1b still encompassed just over 50% of the male sample, and there was an even split between U106, U152 and P312(XU152). This is going on the latest data from...

It's just a U152 equivalent which is basically like saying R1b1b2a1a2d. 23andMe told you absolutely nothing new, sorry. (as we have come to see no updates in several years now)

It looks like he's not from London or Britain for that matter originally. Look at Oracle, he seems to be a fit between SW French and North Spain. He probably picked up SSA through contact with West Africa.

Whatever Metal Age invader is, it is not Yamnaya. It is basically a Caucasian reference population. There is no way that it should be higher in Southern Euros, Ashkenazi jews, and other Middle Eastern populations, than central European populations that were affected by any population movements...

That's not correct. People from UK and Ireland have a lot of EEF ancestry which is Anatolian in origin. The ancestry that is not common in Europe is Iran_Neolithic, which is an offshoot of CHG which spread much later in time.
