What's the Tocharian speaking area? Were you there? Maybe you're not a real Greek.

What more is there to discuss here? R1b-M269+ was a singluar thrust by the northern Philistines from the Bronze Age collapse in the Aegean, and after a few hundred years local ancestry, or related ancestry inland, reclaimed the territory. YDNA L, T, J2, J1, or whatever iteration comes from the...

The uniparentals should be as follows. If MBA North-Central Italy was modern "North Italian" like, we should see large amounts of R1b-L51+ and downstream arriving in Italy from the North/Central Europe. Possibly Italics? Not sure, need to wait for paper. The Balkan/Anatolian influence should add...

Could be ancient Europeans who settled on the shores of Libya and moved south during the Neolithic period. This would be my guess. I keep hearing "west Mediterranean" mentioned, but they aren't really west Mediterranean, as all the ancient Mediterranean V88 finds are within Cardial range. The...

Every R1b-M269 I have seen in the aDNA record can be modeled as partly Yamnayan. This is because an early split of CHG prior to the Maykop culture was absorbed on the steppe. On the other side of the coin, there was Iran_Neo ancestry which remained mostly local to the Middle East and Caucasus...

What an absurd comment, of course North Italians have ancestry from the north, at least from France, indirectly from central Europe. If you agree that southern Italians have Middle Eastern ancestry which arrived via island hopping, why would the less challenging route (across central Europe and...

The modern samples of Greek territory in Turkey are rich in R1b-M269 as we saw in the 2011 study here. https://bmcevolbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1471-2148-11-69 Modern Ukraine isn't ancient Ukraine. The nature of the steppes promotes herding which inherently suggests movement. The...

As an alternative theory, we have tons of R1b in BA Iberia, I wonder what this implies for the Etruscans, whom I imagine were similar in autosomes? Yet another non-IE people but with Yamnaya ancestry? We really need to see the aDNA of mainland Italy. I'm particularly interested in the...

Based on hundreds of YDNA samples we have so far, still nothing indicates R1b as arriving from the Middle East. What does seem clear is that the early Epigravettian descended branch R1b-V88 became Neolithicized by incoming farmers to the point where he looked identical to them. We seem him...

Well there was definitely Yamnaya ancestry in the Bronze Age Iberians, which by definition is full of EHG ancestry, which originated in ancient Russia. It's not all that far fetched, but the earlier people were a hybrid of European hunter-gatherers and western Middle Eastern people. I've also...

I believe the Celtiberian is I2-M26 which existed in Iberia as early as the Chalcolithic. By 2000 BC, most of Iberia had become R1b-M269 in my view, and this is what the 271 samples suggest. Notice that even in modern Spain and Portugal, the haplogroups which offset R1b are Middle Eastern or...

I wouldn't waste your time with that country. You've already been more than patient with the t-roll. I need to bite my tongue else be banned.

USA is the big time exception, since the whole purpose of importing west Africans was for slavery. In Europe, at least in the UK, this might have been the case for some, and for a time, but eventually slavery was abolished and west Africans were treated far better on average than they were in...

I didn't get the memo when suggesting that the original Roman founders being north Italian as being "Nordicist", or "Euro-centric". Last I checked, Italy was still Europe, but perhaps it's the fact that north Italians are genetically very close to French and Swiss that ruffled a few feathers...

Germany didn't colonize your country, you know that, although they arrived in droves after the fact. That was actually one of the reasons why the Nazis were so envious of the British Empire, the Nazis wanted to be just like them, but had no colonies. No need to single out just the British here...

Yes they did, as did the expansionist Muslims in Europe, prior to the Crusades.

This might be the case for a small number. I can think of a few "white" Canadians who converted and became radicalized and were caught trying to to terrible things and wound up getting shot and getting killed. The reasons are much more complex for the non-locals causing problems in the EU though.

The L51+ bottleneck, if you will, could be due to the Yersinia pestis outbreak that caused the downfall of the Neolithic farming communities across Europe (including non agriculturalists like R1b). I don't see why it has anything to do with France, in fact, the data has shown L51+ is well...

I just don't understand how serious offenders are on the streets. You can't put a price on freedom and safety, especially when the most law abiding and honest are the ones who are at the most risk. The "solution" isn't working.

No doubt that U152 is the elephant in the room, but for some reason P312(xU152, L21) doesn't get a lot of mention but it's at non negligible frequencies throughout Italy. ie: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/03014460.2017.1409801 There is no doubt though that Iran_Neo came from the...
