I hoped this paper would have focused more on the ethnogenesis of modern and Ancient Egyptians beyond the question of them having SSA ancestry or not? Like how, when, and by whom the Iran_N ancestry in Ancient Egyptians appeared? what was the structure of the population before them? SSA is...

Well, because of the Hajji Fairoz sample, I now believe the Caucasus/Iran admixture in the Yamnaya culture was mediated by a migration of both men and women, it wasn't female-mediated as some were saying. Whether they spoke PIE or adopted it from the substrate population, is an open question...

Ok, it's interesting, but I'm skeptical, so how do I know if I'm more Western or Eastern?

North Africans are predominantly West Eurasian (Caucasoid) but have 15-25% Sub-Saharan African ancestry. The African-WestEurasian blend in North Africa is as old as the Iberomaurusians.

The above comment has convinced me, prior to the emergence of the Kebaran culture, groups related to European hunter-gatherers lived in the Levant, because the fossils were of a "Cro Magnon" type. The same in Europe. The Kebaran culture I believe documents the appearance of Basal Eurasians in...

Lenab, you're confused and don't know much, please go through some of the papers mentioned in this thread https://www.eupedia.com/forum/threads/34850-Important-papers-for-newbies-to-Population-Genetics If Natufians don't really have an SSA or East African HG component as we thought before (f4...

@Promenade If Levant Neolithic groups penetrated the Zagros mountains, could they have influenced some of the languages there ? This is a linguistic argument for Afro-Asiatic loanwords in Dravidian and Elamite...

I actually think proto Semitic speakers lived in Iran and Caucasus, while also holding that Levant Neolithic is the ancestral Afro-Asiatic component, some reasons for this: -haplogroup J1 doesn't appear until the Bronze Age, accompanying the Iran/Caucasus admixture, J1-P58 has a clear...

What do I do all summer ? waiting for it to end. It's not pleasant, too hot, it can reach 40 C sometimes, even higher. In the central region yes, too hot in daytime, and cold at night. There aren't many Europeans in Jeddah, my professor is Greek from Athena, but he is a rare case.

Indo Aryans may have been fewer in number than the Hurrians, but not reduced historically to just mercinaries from the east. they had a larger impact on Middle Bronze Age history and on Hurrian culture. The rulers of many small polities in the Levant had Sanskrit and Hurrian names. Amarna...

What of the Indo Aryan speaking groups in the Kingdom of Mittani in the Levant ? what migration path did they take ? Late Bronze Age Canaanites from Megiddo should be a mixture of Levant EBA + Armenia MLBA (source), the Armenian admixing population should be the Hurrians. The Hurrians had...

We don't have winters in Arabia, its just three seasons of summer, and one of a slightly cooler summer. Is summer ever going to end ?

Add to that that he is autosomally similar to the others in the same context, I believe he is legitimate.

From Anhrogenica Chad Rohlfsen: There is also going to be a C14 done on the Hajji Firuz R1b. Results should be back in the next couple of weeks.

E1b1a ... amazing. The fun thing is that no sub Saharan ancestry in Iran Neolithic has been detected. Using formal stats. The same with the Natufians who are E1b1b. Maybe Basal Eurasian is somehow connected to Africa ?

I agree that there might be mistakes in assigning y dna. Mal'ta can't be that deep in the R1b tree. The fundemental association between EHG or ANE in general to haplogroup R subclades seems valid to me. CHG has 20% EHG. Iran_N shares more alleles with EHG than WHG. This type of ancestry has a...

From Anthrogenica Hajji Firuz (I2327) R1b calls: R1b-1 derived call R1b1-2 derived calls R1b1a-4 derived calls R1b1c-2 ancestral calls R1b1a2-1 derived call R1b1a1a(R1b-P297)- 5 derived calls R1b1a2b-1 ancestral call R1b1a1a2 (R1b-M269)-9 derived calls R1b1a1a2a1-1 ancestral calls...

To think that I believed in the Steppe cowboys abducting Caucasus girls theory for some time, because of the abundance of R1b in the EHG. This is now the simplest explanation, and it is time for the author at Eurogenes to realize that.

It was the simplest explanation after all, given what we know from Anatolia Chalcolithic and Bronze Age, an increase in CHG but no EHG ancestry, Anatolian languages like Hittite are a movement west from Caucasus while the rest descend from Yamnaya. It wasn't just an R1b-M269 in Iran but also...
