Тhat is the paradox - Rh- people have numerous health problems compared to Rh+, but this harmful mutation is still widely spread. The conclusion is that it must have some unknown benefits, which the study with toxoplasma link is trying to explain. The Yamnaya Rh status was extracted from the...

Just found something interesting, in fact being Rh-heterozygote is protective not against toxoplasmosis in general, but diminished the negative effects, one of which is the slowing of reflexes. As it is mentioned in the above study: This high frequency in Europe has long been surprising...

Just found somebody has posted the Y chr SNPs tested by 23andMe version 5. https://www.dropbox.com/s/t8ojpasj080ilke/23andme%20called%20v5%20public.xlsx?dl=0 Z2103, Z2105 are not tested, but some under Z2109 are: rs752991313 14091439 CTS1843/Z2109 T C R1b1a1a2a2c1 rs770646523 17535772...

Regarding the E1b1b1 sample from Croatia, Balkans_Neolithic 6000 BC, here is what came out after the genomes were published, the sample is not V13, but an early split from L618 : The raw data from the Mathieson etal. 2017 paper is now out. Here is what is there with respect to the L618-V13...

I know 23andMe did not test for Z2103, Z2105 before and probably in the latest version of the chip as well. You must be some branch under Z2105, this is common in Hungary/Slovakia. If you would like to know the exact terminal SNP, order some advanced test with FamilyTreeDNA...

Yes, a detailed context with original photos of the excavations are given in the Supplementary Data: https://media.nature.com/original/nature-assets/nature/journal/vaop/ncurrent/extref/nature25778-s2.pdf It seems the Bulgarian Iron Age was accidentally included into the Neolithic/Chalcolithic...

Varna samples do not fall over modern Tuscans, but at no man land of modern Europeans, where most of the Neolithic samples are. As far as I can see Varna are the red outlined orange squares and probably only Varna outlier, who has more Yamnaya falls over the Tuscans. In fact the Balkan Bronze...

Unfortunately this forum has always been prone to nationalistic propaganda, and although I have been long time a member, avoided posting here not keen to receive abuse. However it was again hijacked by some Balkan members, after the Serb/Croat and Greek/Macedonian conflicts subsided a little...

Well, genetics clearly shows the so called Danube Vlachs, who used to live in former Wallachia are very close to Bulgarians and Serbians(from Eastern Serbia). Even the most patriotic Romanians admit they are heterogeneous genetically and Romanians in Bukovina and Moldova resemble more...

Yes, Albanians spread around the Balkans(especially the lowlands of Serbia and Croatia and Eastern Bulgaria) from their initial mountain homeland only a few hundred years ago. They were even mentioned as a separate ethnicity only around 11th c. They could not have spread the V13 around the...

Moskopole was once in 18th c. around 30000, while most other Balkan Ottoman cities were not more than 20000 around that time. Of course, not all Vlachs on the Balkans had the same origin, they were only Latinised local people and some pre Latin and Greek languages may have survived until late...

Well, all people on the Balkans were Vlachs (Latin speaking) before the big migrations in the Early Middle ages. In fact only Romania was NOT Latin speaking around 6-7 century. Most Vlach went there only when it was a part of the Bulgar empire. Until early Ottoman times the migration was...

Regarding J2b1-M205 a lot was written on the Serbian forum Poreklo, as one of the Serbian project administrators hismself is with this haplogroup. However this J2b branch has no affinity to the South Western Balkans like J2b2, even it was discovered in a single Albanian only recently. There are...

V13 or even CTS5856 did not originate in Albania nor it came originally to the rest of the Balkans from there. It only SURVIVED better in the mountain areas of the South Western Balkan during the early Middle ages. Most lowlands along the Danube were almost completely deserted by the old...

Regarding V13 I don't agree that most branches among Bulgarians are common with the Albanians, let alone we got them from there. As a project administrator I can see that most Bulgarians don't have any matches above 25 markers and even very rarely match each other on 37 and more markers. For now...

First, have in mind that Eupedia reports everything under E1b1b1, which is E-M35. This includes other branches under M78, not just V13, plus under M123, which are predominantly non European. The data I was mentioning could be found in Additional file 1, Table S5. It seems they had the full...

A new study has just come out "The peopling of the last Green Sahara revealed by high-coverage resequencing of trans-Saharan patrilineages" https://genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13059-018-1393-5 It concentrates on several Y haplogroups common in Africa, from the Es on the M2...

You can find detailed data about commercially tested Albanians and Serbs here. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KSmZNQYh6MYkcLMBTQUT3vRseKd450hbbUvBs_j0CkU/edit#gid=1024387137 https://dnk.poreklo.rs/tabela-pojedinacne-grupe/?grp-filter=E Unfortunately some of the administrators of the...

Well, maybe not E-Z17107*, but other subbranches of E-Z17107 are found on the Balkans and since it is not very old, you are related. In fact the only main V13 branch (coming directly from CTS5856) not found in the South Balkans is L540. This, together with the pre E-V13 L618 branch may point...

The E-V13 among Bulgarians is in fact 18%, Eupedia shows everything under E1b1b1. The rest are other branches under M78 and M123. Although not with the highest percentage V13 on the Balkans, Bulgarians show the highest diversity. Albanians, especially have a strong founder effect under V13 and...
