EEF (Early European Farmer) is not specific to Europe only, Levantines, Caucasians, Iranians, and North Africans all have significant levels of this kind of ancestry. But I agree, the geographic concept of Europe does mirror the genetic concept of Europe. a European cline of ancestry is...

How can we know how Roman colonization affected the distribution of haplogroups in Europe ? I hypothesize that most Balkanic, North African, and Near Eastern lineages in Europe concentrate in areas where Roman colonies once existed.

Its a nice idea for a thread, everyone can share their theories on why they descend from their maternal line, what cultures, events, and migrations lead to your result ? Mine is T2e1, it has a European Mediterranean, East Meditteranean, and North European distribution, low levels from 0-3%. In...

Its a nice idea for a thread, everyone can share their theories on why they descend from their paternal line, what cultures, events, and migrations lead to your result ? Mine is I2c2, the weirdest subclade in haplogroup I :) It has a south Caucasus (Armenia, Georgia, Turkey) and Greek...

Like Caucasians and Iranians in their majority. but some are closer to Southern Europeans.

Lest hope its not like the Caucasus paper thats taking forever. Many haplogroups from the list have a south Caucasian distribution, is Caucasus ancestry higher in Scythians compared to MBA Steppe ? there is a legend that Scythians migrated from Caucasus to the Steppe. Herodotus says: There is...

There is one I2c2 in the list, DA31. Cool.

There is no need to invoke the indo europeans every instance we see a blonde middle eastern. The trait I suppose came from some branches of ANE tribes, and ANE ancestry is high in caucasus even before indo european languages were spoken in the area. Some of that ancestry moved south to the...

Levantine, Lebanese maybe.

Saudi Arabia must become a new Dubai

A weird result from Extended Data Table 2: is this one f3(WHG; Switzerland_HG, Saudi) = -0.01562 , Z-score = -7.7 that means the WHG is admixed from sources related to Switzerland_HG and Saudi, but not be identical to them. This is weird, we don't usually think of the WHG as a mixed...

Ah thanks, but it's not as bad as you think, thankfully not so many people around me get arrested. The only issue that I have always been vocal about is women's rights, freedom in dress and independence from male guardianship, and economic equality and independence. Many people have called me...

Maybe pure Basal Eurasians admixed into them, but then the Natufians and Iran_N would share ancestry with them more than the EHG for example, but they don't. a puzzle indeed.

The question is, did they contribute ancestry to modern people or not? why is it difficult to have aDNA from Arabia? Razib seems to suggest they were Basal Eurasians.

Interesting puzzle, why would they have Hadza like admixture ?

Unfortunately, I haven't, many times ADMIXTURE detected African related components in Natufians and Levant Neolithic, that would definitely explain haplogroup E, but then came the Lazaridis paper. The Natufians don't share more alleles with (Mbuti - Yoruba - Ju_hoan_North - Mota) than the...
