Basically, because men and women don't always travel together. If we look at more modern population mix, Puerto Rico has about 60% of the population with Native American mt-haplogroup, 25% African and 15% European. On the Y side, 85% European and 15% African. What do you think happened there...

If we are to clone an extinct homo, wouldn't it be more interesting to clone a Denisovan? We have no clue what they looked like, I mean, litterally, we wouldn't know we are looking at one if one of them if they were looking at us in the eyes. At least with a clone we would have a better...

Use the "Are Your Parents Related?" tool on gedmatch's main page, enter the Anzick Boy (F999919) then try it with the Kennewick man (F999970). As you see, the Kennewick man is so inbreeded that it is as good as if he ha only half a genome to begin with, of course the Anzick boy who has a much...

This definition is too imprecise, there is no threshold. If at least there was an objective percentage of difference between potential races, or some characteristic which differentiate "different but still same race" and "different race". This definition is just not workable.

It could also be some Frank nobility, or Frank servant following his noble master, who end up in Eastern Europe following Charlemagne and sons' conquest and alliance campaign. It could be sea traders. Viking slave trade. Diplomatic delegation send in the Middle Ages to Poland. Anyway, there's 2...

Sound promising, I hope we will get more details.

Since you are asking this in the Y-DNA section, I guess you mean paternal lineage wise. According to Wikipedia, Indian Dravidians are: 32.9% H; local South Asian 26.7 % R1a; probably from Central Asia 19.7 % J; Middle East 13.6 % O; East and South East Asian 11.6 % L; local South Asian 9.3% F...

Thanks for sharing, Angela. About the absence of autosomal and Y DNA, they may keep it for another paper. mt-DNA is much easier and faster to read.

I guess I found why we all match best the same ancient genome, they are the less inbreed. -__- I passed them all in the "Are Your Parents Related?" tool.

Oh! You make me realize we can test homozigoty in old genome at gedmatch, using the "Are Your Parents Related?" tool. Let's see: F999970, Kennewick : 3019.2 cM; F999925, Hinxton-5 : 1612.8 cM; F999921, Hinxton-2 : 864.1 cM; F999902, Neandertal : 598.3 cM; F999922, Hinxton-3 : 473.4 cM; F999903...

Oh! They already made calculators about the Middle East latest finds, nice! ^__^ Mine: Population SE_ASIAN - ANATOLIA_NEOLITHIC 18.99 CHG_EEF 38.39 POLAR 0.50 EHG 14.77 SUB_SAHARAN - IRAN_NEOLITHIC 2.81 KARITIANA 1.21 ANCESTRAL_INDIAN 2.39 NATUFIAN 8.31...

The funny thing is, I have about the same strong matches. Stuttgart, Loschbour, NE1, BR2, Clovis and Ust-Ishim. Which prove that at .5cM, anyone would look like close match. ^^; Rise the threshold to 2cM, these ancient genome will be less matchy. In my case, the last matches I get is at 4cM...

It may not be evolution, it may just be a few families, too inbreed, who happen to have a higher rate of light skin, light hair, light eyes. Even if they accomplish a tenth of what Ginges Khan did, maybe even just a hundredth, the idea that light = elite was born. Thus low class families who...

Ancestry doesn't do y-DNA and mt-DNA anymore. Family Tree DNA do much more precise Y-DNA tests, but they are much more costy as well. You need to plan carefully what you will buy and often wait for the right sales to show up. I suggest to go for Big Y on sales right away instead of buying snp packs.

What about Ötzi's G2a? He was found in the Tyrol if I remember well.

I'm mostly French Canadian, with wee little bit of Scot, Dutch, Austrian, English, Portugese, Abenaki and Ojibwe. EEF 61% WHG 27% ANE 12%

North American Indians didn't find it impractical. historymuseum.ca/virtual-museum-of-new-france/population/slavery/ Originally, it was the losers of a war who has to replace losts the winners endured, replacing, say, 10 dead warriors.

I don't know anyone who is y-C, but I was curious of what's left of this old haplogroup in Europe. I read C-V20 is present in Southern Europe and some Asian C-M217 is present in Eastern Europe, but this kind of info is usually a footnote in wider C distribution review. Since Eupedia is more...

Which leave the door open for Homo Antecessor (dated between 700k and 1.2m years old) to be the commun ancestor between Sapiens and Neandertal.

Is there any pocket of haplogroup C left in Europe? Any specific subclades? There is no Eupedia page about C, so...
