The R-V88 guys, and R1b in general seems to be eastern shifted relative to their more western HG I2 counterparts. The oldest western most sample is linked with Cardial Ware with E-V13 haplotypes (if my memory serves), suggesting a link to at least the Balkans, which would make sense considering...

I'm pretty sure it's all the same replacement from macro group R1b-M269. I wouldn't read much further into it than that. Recall the very early intrusion of R1b-M269/L151 in Switzerland Neolithic burial who looks similar to Corded Ware. These could have all been layered tribes, but frankly, at...

The Cassidy thesis (available as of yesterday) suggested the resurgence was due to patrilocality, basically confirming what Riverman is suggesting above. Atlantic Europe, from Iberia to Britain/Ireland seems to have this effect, as well as nordic Europe. However, the LBK did not. (based on data...

It's definitely there, but distant. I've never heard of any full Han Chinese person getting any European on any test, so yes, its somewhere deep back in your father's family tree. E-V13 may have been spread among the Cardium pottery culture of southern Europe, or some wave of Neolithic Europeans...

Based on results, R1b men tended to have broad skulls with flat occipitals. I find this funny because nobody has this skull shape in my family, but I see it often in more eastern European and Balkan people. If we once had this skull shape, we must have taken the skull shapes of the west European...

Said more simply, if people are in a position of power, many of them will abuse it unfortunately.

Yes, because in these cultures, if a woman/female doesn't dress modestly, I imagine in head to toe garment, she is the low hanging fruit that their religion will grant them access to. It doesn't matter if a man has chastity, just the female. However, here in the west, we need to keep pretending...

I don't think anyone really disputes E-V13 is quite old in the Balkans. You guys aren't trying to push an eastern Ukraine, maybe Samara region origin as well are you? Nothing at all wrong with farmers, in fact the city builders of the Balkans (most definitely rich in E-V13) were more advanced...

Not my country, nor my business...really... but wasn't this Soleimani character a mass murderer in his own right? One can question this particular instance to kill the group of militants, or kill them at all, but Soleimani was hardly an innocent. He had his own agenda, like every other power...

It seems like mesolithic hunter gatherers west of the Urals, but east of the carpathian mountains had mutations for light skin and hair. Even some of the WHG rich Baltic hunter gatherers acquired these traits, but the ones in the far west such as Cheddar Man lacked them. In addition, the CHG...

It's unfortunate that someone would be treated as lesser because they look different. The only exception I took to the article was the half-Dominican who had a clear grudge on her back. The reality is Germans are white people, or the natives are white people. Just as Italians are Italians...

There are some obvious pre-WHG lineages scattered around Europe today, some of the C-V20 public samples available at FTDNA are from southern Europe. It's just luck that it happened to pop up in a sample.

The most interesting question from this study is whether central-southern Italians had all this "oriental" prior to the building of Rome. My first inclination is that the answer is probably no, as I suspect the original inhabitants were BBC + Copper/Neo Italians for lack of a better word. So...

One of the most interesting takeaways from this study is the presence of our first L51(xL11) found in ancient DNA. Of all the groups, I am not terribly surprised that it was found in Italy, among the Latins, as that country is most certainly a hotspot for it today. Some food for thought...

There is obviously discontinuity in the Balkans. A quick look at Mesolithic Serbia at Iron Gates turns up R1b-V88 and I2-M223, both of which are nearly absent today in the same region. The latter, and it really depends on the subclade, does popup frequently in western Europe so some of the...

"Although Rome has long been a subject of archaeological and historical study, little is known about the genetic history of the Roman population. To fill this gap, we performed whole genome sequencing on 127 individuals from 29 sites in and around Rome, spanning the past 12,000 years. Using...

R1 derive from an ANE lineage that moved west and mixed with Gravettian and earlier lineages who were already in Europe. This is why WHG formed as the ice receded as a merger of YDNA C, I, and a handful of early R1b offshoots from the east. The majority of surviving lineages of R1b remained in...

If accurate, this would suggest a split of Italo-Celtic in central Europe and tons of R1b moving into the Italian peninsula in the late Bronze, early Iron Age. Imperial Rome can be explained as diverse for many reasons. One being that the further south in the peninsula, you have a variety of...

South Asians, and you can probably include East Asians are very wealthy in USA because that country has attracted the brightest and richest people to immigrate. If history worked out differently and India or China had different immigration rules or began booming a century or more ago, you would...

Irrelevant. Bashkir are filled, I mean filled with R1a, depending on your sample.
