In the PCA of West Eurasians, there are three clines of ancestry, one is mainland Europe another is the Middle East, and a third between them for Meditteranean and Jewish populations. The European cline formed as a mixture of Steppe BA populations and European Late Neolithic/Chalcolithic...

Hi kmak, no one knows what the Y-dna of the Parthian dynasty is.

Nah .. political correctness, even if he was Arabian, it doesn't mean he was absorbed into Danish community as an equal, he was most likely a captured slave hhaaha, so much for equality.

Very handsome people, if they are the most similar to Neolithic farmers, you could see how European facial features formed through them.

Fst is useful I believe in determining races, the Sardinian in the first one is terribly wrong though, also Greeks are closer to Italians for example than they are to Iranians, the rest is accurate. The largest human races are East Asian, Sub-Saharan African, and Caucasoid because they...

Those are Jordan Bedouins ? Yes you're right, the nose is in most cases straight, the curvature is usually in the tip of the nose, like these cases: It gives it the illusion of being curved.

Exciting ...

I never really grasped what the "Arabid" racial classification is, the only type that I have some understanding of is "Armenoid", I of all people here should know given that I'm a tribal Arab, but I was never into these old classifications anyway. Maybe someone could educate me ? what would...

Who wants to become Saudi anyway ?

Well it seems I don't know much then, I'm an athiest humanist outcast that doesn't participate in society or culture, hehe .. so I could be wrong.

All this is correct. Arabian gulf countries do indeed have a lot of foreign residents, they don't integrate and as far as I know they don't want to acquire citizenship, and people don't care either way if they want to become citizens, I've never seen any negative reaction from local arabs.

Isn't it strange that Caucasus ancestry expanded all over Anatolia, the Levant, and the Steppe at the same time ? They weren't a single culture, othrwise we would see the same language family all over the place, who were these people ?

There are no Levantine references ? Not going to be useful for middle easterners or north africans. Natufians or Ain Ghazal would have sufficed. I see no reason why he didn't add them.

Well, I'm no linguist, but I noticed that "gods" in Etruscan means "aisar", reminded me of the æsir of Norse mythology. The other theory on Etruscan origins is a migration from Anatolia in the Iron Age, but Etruscan territory has a striking one to one correspondence to the previous Villanovan...

This admixture graph is weird Do the EHG only have 9% ANE ? Steppe Eneolithic is EHG + Basal Eurasian. and it is from the basal part of CHG. CHG is Basal Eurasian + West Eurasian lineage that separated from the line contributing to WHG, EHG, and EEF. Where is ANE ? there is a lot of it in...

We already knew that the Caucasus genetic profile is Anatolian Neolithic + CHG, what can that tell us about the languages spoken in the Caucasus and Europe ? Etruscan’s genealogical linguistic relationship with Nakh-Daghestanian and other ancient languages like Hurrian and Urartian could very...

The only sound conclusion I can draw from this is that the common Caucasus ancestry between Transcaucasia and the Steppe was driven by female-mediated gene flow, how that happened may not be as stupid as my mind pictures it for me. Its true Hajji Fairoz was Z2013, but given how large the...
