Wrong, the R1b in Ojibwe Canadians (where this frequently reported statistic comes from ) is likely P312 or U106 just like the British and French settlers. M269 didn't exist 17000 years ago.

The term "white privilege" is used a lot in Canada too, but it doesn't actually exist here (IMHO). There are no advantages we have here being white, and everything we earned, we had to work our a$$es off for. There are some families who are wealthy, bringing that wealth from the motherland...

Any religion that forces genital mutilation (boys included) on children and treats women as second class citizens, I tend to disagree with. We can pretend it doesn't but that doesn't make it reality, nor does it make it okay. Religion can be dangerous beyond a hypothetical and wishful thinking...

The Germanic people were never Aryans, it was nonsense pushed by a certain group who felt inferior to the British Empire for whatever reason, yet idolilzed them so much.

G-L497 is the common European type just downstream of this, so I wonder if the founder lived somewhere near Poland or in central Europe somewhere. Here I was thinking L497 arrived recently, but maybe only 1-2 of the Neolithic communities needed to leave any descendants, because up to this point...

I2-Dinaric hasn't been found in ancient DNA to date, almost all of the I2 found has been branched under M223. In fact, even the CWC R1a seems more closely related to Scandinavian and western European R1a such as L664 (a rare lineage today, suggesting it was superseded by later R1b- BBC?) The...

Yes, but where did the M269+ guys come from if not from the Steppe? Hunter-gatherers did not have such mobility. How did they suddenly appear near the Samara river a few hundred years later from a central European or SW European origin (if this is what you are insinuating). Perhaps there is some...

The E-V13 guy is part of the southern European cluster which is aligned with what we already expected, an expansion north from the SE/Balkans. These aren't really Scythians, just like the P312+ guy wasn't a Schytian, who plots with other north Europeans, including modern Slavic speaking...

All of the Catacomb samples from the recent aDNA paper on the Maykop + Caucasus paper were R1b.

How do you figure? Celts were definitely U152 and we have a western Scythian native of Ukraine belong to this branch. In a sense, the Celts were on the steppes, the western part of it. It's true that Srubnaya was R1a for example, but I don't see how that discounts groups like Catacomb and...

Considering there is only about 500 years difference that splits Z2103 and L51 from the parent node, I'm not sure how different they really could be. L51+ was most likely sprung from a western steppe culture

Not a very good distribution map quite frankly. There are plenty of samples L51(xL11) in Germany.

That's a fallacious argument I see very often. The offset of lower R1b is from non-IE paternal lines such as E-M84 and J2 in places like Portugal and western Iberia. Nice try though. It could be that R1b were not IE speakers, or it could be they were, or the third option, which I believe is...

It's overwhelmingly I2-M223 as expected. Whether it's Neolithic I2-M223, or Yamnayan I2-M223, I'm not too sure. That subclade was already spread from eastern to western Europe prior to the Neolithic advance.

However, there are individuals in the graveyard who plot in modern day north Italy or northern Spain, so I don't think we would have such genetic variation in a location without it being legitimate. Suggesting that people in 6th century northern Italy plot as modern day Cypriots is ridiculous...

Botai was R1b-M73, not R1a.

Of course, but Hitler was a good Catholic, as was the Pope/Church who went along with his agenda as his intentions became clear. Hitler and the formation of the Nazis were not clear with their agenda when they were elected. The party rose to power because it was revolutionary and nationalistic...

That's because "pink" is hidden within Anatolia_N, that's the source of WHG. It looks like an intrusion of a population from Anatolia_N to the south for a very short period of time, only to be superceded by Levant_BA which carried far more Iran/Mesopotamian ancestry. T1a (at minimum) seems to...

Well of course R1b were the Indo-European speakers, but the R1a ones are likely the ones to actually spread to India. The dates in the study refer to the age of the branch, not the age in Corsica. A very subtle but large difference. The Corsica data appears to mostly be downstream of L51+...

J2 was found in LBK, but seems absent thus far in Mediterranean spread which was apparently first. J2 is one of those haplogroups that is very diverse in very small, distantly related clusters and doesn't appear to be spread in a star pattern (the major evidence against it being a PIE marker IMHO)
