David Wesolowski is Davidski from Eurogenes.

Not that close if I read those results right. Definitely not as close as some modern Italians are to Ancient Italians.

Why don't we wait for the results of the actual auDNA study then.

You have to manually stretch it out using your fingers. The "+" symbol only goes so far.

Yes the results are old but convincing that you have no Turkish ancestry. Do you have any DNA matches that are Turkish? At what relatedness. Just ascribe this to a family myth, just like the common myth of American Indian ancestors.

ChatGPT, GIGO (Garbage In, Garbage Out) and when it is asked to create new knowledge, it hallucinates (i.e. it lies or is wrong). It will do well in some things as in summarizing existing knowledge just as long as the sources are reliable. Otherwise if you just feed the whole internet with its...

Do we have any historical facts of this supposed massive migration of Anatolian Hellenistic Greeks into Macedonia to change the population so drastically. What precipitated it? I don't seem to recall any massive urban centers in Macedonia becoming so attractive to migrants. Certainly, extant...

It reminds me of Freshman English in college or my poetry:lol2:. Too many words and too many adjectives. Needs a lot of work before it passes for an actual novel that people would actually want to read. Yah you might replace the author but then you will need at least 2 editors one of which need...

Yep on #3. It has been explained to the OP many times. It is also good practice not to have so many populations in the mix so to speak.

Hmmmm...J1c seems to have mostly migrated to Europe through the northern route. If anybody looks at the geography and topography of Anatolia, one can see that there are two easy routes to migrate to Greece/Europe: the southern coastal route and the northern coastal route. The rest of Anatolia is...

I totally agree with good fit vs right model that makes sense historically and archaeologically. I also caution people against including populations with significant overlaps. Least squares models tend to over fit, I have seen modern vs ancient people models have errors of less than 2%. Like...

I am not in favor of grating too much Parmigiano Reggiano on the pasta. Just a tiny bit so it does not overwhelm the pasta. My favorite Italian cheeses are a medium Pecorino and Fontina. Combine them with olives and pepperoncini, some prosciutto, crusty bread and a glass or two of white Italian...

I totally agree that we should wait for IA and classical age Greek samples but we do not have any historical or archaeological info that there was a large and influential admixture event. Now I can theorize that internal migration from rural settlements that might have been Pelasgian into urban...

Wait a minute, don't commercial genomic tests use IBD already in their comparisons with modern populations? Do they just use best fit, least squares?

There was a substrate of people already in Greece before the Greeks migrated. If you want to call them Pelasgians or autochthonous or whatever name but the land was not empty of people. We do not have archaeological evidence of massive population replacement, at least not yet. According to...

Point me to the papers if you don't mind.

Anatolians were about as homogeneous as the Greeks. Anatolia besides the areas near the shore is very mountainous leading to genetic isolation and drift. Just like the mountainous Greek mainland. I am sure the people near the Black Sea are the same genetically as the Hittites the Lucian's, the...

Hahaha...I go away for couple of months and all hell breaks loose. This latest paper throws another money wrench to pretty much settled orthodoxy. It seems that the Greeks were not homogenous at all and it really matters where they settled. Mountain people different than the city folk and...

The demographic trends are everywhere. Very few people want to stay and farm in the small towns and villages even in the US. There is a movement or a trend to import Chinese students to fill out the spots in high schools in the NE of the US because otherwise they would have to close. Also...
