There is no way in hell E-V13 is from central Europe. All the ancient samples of E-V13 are autosomally southern European. ie: Neolithic farmer.

I'm too cheap to pay for G25 coordinates, but my closest population is Orcadian based on Gedmatch, so I assume I'd be pretty close to these, who I assume to be British/Celtic Scandinavians rather than the ones who plot with the Baltic. Figured my ancestry is basically Pict + Belgae + Anglo-Saxon...

The reason for the difference is because during the "Viking Age", central Sweden appears to be the source of migration of many raiders(?) I suppose. These lineages are a legacy of the LN Battle Axe period, rich in I1 and R1a such as the Estonian ship burial and the genomes from the recent...

You can also see these kits in the DF27+ project which is one of the most organized ones out there. They have some off modal values from the usual Z220+ haplotypes, so it's a bit of a surprise.

It's a bit of misrepresentation. The proxy population for "southern Europe" in this paper is Northern Italy. So what we are seeing is probably Bell Beaker related ancestry. It does seem there were remnant hunter gatherers who were in central Sweden rich in I1 and merged with the Battle Axe...

@Maciamo You have obviously never been to Canada. Southern BC and southern Ontario are relatively mild, the former most definitely is. The majority of the Canadian population lives within 100 miles of the US border, not in the untamed wilderness of the north. Politically I dislike both Canada...

As someone who is quite literally the product of these two exact groups/regions of England, the "Celtic" or better stated "Pre-Anglo-Saxon" groups definitely tend to have darker hair that is thicker/wavier. I'm not sure if "Celtic" is the correct word as they would have been an amalgamation of...

Paternally I would say you are incorrect. A good chunk of their fatherlines come from the north east, as some of these types of R1a and I2-M423 have not shown up in the area until < 2000 ybp. Even going back to the age estimates, this still pans out, at least for the relevant downstream I2-M423...

I can attest by the number of east European refugees (in particular from the Balkans) and/or immigrants living in Canada that East Europeans definitely have an air of ethnocentricity. So yeah, not a surprise, I believe it.

I bet that pops up in Single Grave culture. Let's see.

The modern Saudi prince is representative of "Arab", probably then and now. Eye shape, nose shape, overall facial shape is absolutely nothing like the vast majority of these Roman emperors. I can see some Middle Eastern look in a few, as well as definitely some African/North African, but the...

I think the point is that this mutation wasn't positively selected until recently, which doesn't really tell us much about its origin. The spread is obviously linked to cultures who practiced animal husbandry. It's certainly possible, if not likely, these European cultures were rich in R1b, even...

Keep in mind, this is an American-centric thread. The whole notion is absurd just about anywhere else. It is pushed up here by the Canadian division of BLM, which is led by a proven Afro-Canadian racist who believes whites are subhuman. Silesian, we should be more concerned about removing Fidel...

Iran-related ancestry is largely restricted to southern by south-eastern Europe. A CHG-like ancestry moved onto the steppes and mixed with local people inhabiting the steppes, EHG + CHG-like + EEF creates Yamnaya. Iran-related ancestry is more likely related to something the Mesopotamians would...

Even though there are more R1a men among the Bashkirs than R1b men? Somehow Bashkirs are R1b but not R1a? SMH.

Probably not. The people residing in Neolithic "Basque Territory" had genomes resembling modern Basques yet did not have R1b as a paternal haplogroup, just I2-M223 and G2a like other Neolithic men of which we literally have 100's of samples. R1b-L51 spread from SE Poland from the western...

I'm skeptical on that conclusion since the only R1b in Kura-Araxes has been R1b-V1636, an early offshoot into the eastern Caucasus from the steppes, including the most recent 2020 paper on Neolithic/Early BA Anatolia. There would have been plenty of non-R1b immigrants to the Levant from...

R1b and E-V13 don't really correlate with each other, anywhere, so I'd be skeptical if they were linked. E-V13 seems to have already been in the Balkans, or if it was a contemporary of R1b-M269, it came from a different direction. I2-M223 seems to be linked to R1b-M269 very often, despite the...

Most definitely that fellow looks like many contemporary Greeks I have seen (but not all), and certainly was a look that would have been common in West Asia and the Levant during the Bronze Age and possibly even Neolithic Europe. However, I'd be skeptical if the R1b guys looked like that, since...

Inside sources suggest it has and will be published soonish(?). I know some of the BA Greeks found so far have the same line J2a as the Minoans, which obviously suggests continuity and not that of a northern intruder, which is the only thing R1b could be. At least one video a few years back...
