He'll need to make a new edition every year it seems :)

I'm convinced: and this historians and linguists reached a consensus, the speakers of the Anatolian languages established themselves in Anatolia by gradual infiltration and cultural assimilation, and of course, commercial contacts. Want a region to speak your language (and become a language...

The abducted women of the weaker Maykop transmitted so much culture for the Steppe, metals and carts, hehe even how they buried their dead.

The Shang dynasty of China were Steppe people. The first Japanese emperors were very much high in Steppe. The Pharoahs of Egypt ? Dr.Eugenics told us about their red hair, they are descended from the Steppe pastoralists. God ? he lives in the open Steppe, his throne is upon the waters of Lake...

Therefore Anatolians must have come from the Steppe. Quod Erat Demonstrandum. It is known, when Greek pastoralists, led by their chief Alexander the Great, invaded Egypt and settled the land, stayed strong for millennia until their language diversified and was spoken by a large portion of Lower...

I am dead serious, its the called the argument of how many samples do you need to know if people of different ethnicities had sex? take the Minoans and Mycenaeans for example, how many samples from the Myceneans did not have EHG ? not a single one. How many samples from the Minoans did not...

@epoch People with Steppe ancestry can have sex with people who do not, because Steppe people like to have sex, resulting in the mixed child to have some amount of that ancestry, there is a non-zero probability of that happening. You don't need to bring "Vassal kings" into it, it's just...

This wouldn't have carried a lot of sensitivity if it was another language family. I have been accused of political and ethnic bias or agenda because I'm saying Anatolians may not have come from the Steppe, due to many samples now lacking EHG from different periods and locations where Anatolian...

I can answer this, if the test was done on modern West, Central, and East Africans, and they all have affinity to West Eurasians, then only geneflow to the ancestors of first Bantu farmers and other West Africans is necessary, because they colonized all Africa later. Probably the same wave that...

West Eurasian admixture to Africans !!! yes I knew it !! Just by looking at pairwise Fst tables like these, Africans have less distance to all West Eurasians compared to East Eurasians, this has implications on the debate about the origin of haplogroup E, since it can appear in...

Leyla-Tepe are thoerized to be the ancestors of Maykop, Maykop transmitted to Yamnaya their carts, their bronze, and their kurgans, you could argue that if they transmit that then their religion also. As for their genetics, I'd refer to my post on the last thread we spoke...

Well, Maykop Kurgans are similar to the earlier Leyla-Tepe culture, the culture has also been linked to the north Ubaid period monuments, in particular, with the settlements in the Eastern Anatolia Region (Arslantepe, Coruchu-tepe, Tepechik, etc.), these might have been a source of migration to...

from the linguistic supplement of Daamgard et al 2018: Ok people, I'll take that bolded statment as true, Proto-Indo-Anatolian is earlier than Yamnaya and Late Maykop, what cultural sequnces lead to Anatolian speakers in Anatolia ? without having any EHG admixture ? What Steppe culture pre...

hahaha sorry Ygorcs, I feel you got tired of the stubborn knucklehead that is me, this is my final post and its over, I don't have anything to say after it. The main reason I don't believe proto-Anatolians migrated from the Pontic Caspian Steppe is lack of Steppe ancestry, not just in Anatolia...

Yamnaya do have more ANF ancestry compared to the Eneolithic, more CHG ancestry compared to the Eneolithic, this increase was admixing into a population that already had CHG but not ANF ancestry, that's why it seems unbalanced. A model where only Eneolithic groups from the actual Steppe and EEF...

This post of mine is relevant to this topic https://www.eupedia.com/forum/threads/36421-3000-years-old-Anatolian-personal-names-in-Ebla/page2?p=548081&viewfull=1#post548081

The Anatolian names in Ebla records date to 25th century BC.

@Ygorcs CHG levels did increase overall, in all locations, with Yamnaya, and with additional cultural influences from Maykop, it looks like geneflow to me, and it isn't impossible, there were more than one Steppe Maykop outliers that had ancestry from both Steppe_Maykop and Caucasus_Maykop. As...

@Ygorcs, good argument But isn't the Eneolithic Steppe samples of the last Maykop paper really just north of the Caucasus mountains ? not on the actual northern Steppe ? like in Samara or Khalynsk. The way I'm seeing it is for levels of CHG to reach "Yamnaya levels" in these locations is an...
