Published in Nature. Evidence from 2,000-year-old DNA reveals that women in Celtic society stayed in their ancestral communities after marriage, whereas men were mobile, and that the southern coast of Britain was a hotspot for cultural exchange. Marriage practices, particularly those that...

‘The wheel and axle’ revolutionized human technological history by transforming linear to rotary motion and causing parts of devices to move. While its ancient origins are commonly associated with the appearance of carts during the Bronze Age, we focus on much earlier wheel-shaped find–an...

My mitochondrial haplotype is H66a. In an eupedia document I read that there were H66a in England and Bronze age Poland I would like to know more about the history of this haplotype.

Interestingly, this reinforces the importance of navigation in the Neolithic: "... the average spread rate along the Mediterranean route (1.6 km/yr) was about twice faster than along the inland route (0.9 km/yr) ..." and is consistent with the conclusions of an older paper that stated...

... and: Finally, in Europe, ‘steppe’ ancestry has hitherto been identified only in admixed form, but the origin of this admixture event and the mechanism by which the ancestry subsequently spread with the CWC have remained elusive.

Also: "Yamnaya ancestry (that is, ‘steppe’ ancestry) has been characterized broadly as a mix between EHG ancestry and Caucasus hunter-gatherer (CHG), formed in a hypothetical admixture between a ‘northern’ steppe source and a ‘southern’ Caucasus source30. However, the exact origins of these...

With respect to the paper initial of this thread, we can read: "From approximately 5,000 bp, an ancestry component related to Early Bronze Age steppe pastoralists such as the Yamnaya culture rapidly spread across Europe through the expansion of the CWC and related cultures1,2. Although previous...

The Iberian Peninsula is a key region for unraveling human settlement histories of Eurasia during the period spanning the decline of Neandertals and the emergence of anatomically modern humans (AMH). There is no evidence of human occupation in central Iberia after the disappearance of...

Ancient ANE admixture in Iberia, according to the tables in the Carlos Quiles Indoeuropean site. with relevant percent: I8130,Y-hg CT, ANE 11.2%, 6007 BC (see genetic relatedness in the previous figure) I7597, Y-hg CT, ANE 29%, 3675 BC ATP3, Y-hg R-M269?, ANE 12.77%, 3447 BC ATP7, female, ANE...

Yes, this is the eastward expansion from the southeastern Europe. Furthermore, the present article reports in Iberia a gene flow related to HGs from the Balkans to around 8200 BP. Genetic contact from Caucasus and steppe region is much earlier than the 3th millennium and also in a territory...

In the paper we can read: By contrast, later individuals from northern Iberia were more similar to HGs from southeastern Europe, deriving around 30–40% of their ancestry from a source related to HGs from the Balkans in more proximate models ... The earliest evidence for this gene flow was...

Thank you for your response, bicicleur. Therefore, we can evaluate these results with two hypothesis, 1. ATP3 is not R-M269 and 2. ATP3 is R-M269, went far astray. With respect to the link, it was in the post of Olympus Mons which I cited. This is the Genetiker link stating ATP3 is R1b1a1a2-M269...

Olympus Mons wrote in the thread Iberian Neolithic M269?: It just has been published … by Sergey Malyshev. (https://kumbarov.com/ht35/R1b_xP312xU106_V.38.1.pdf) I don’t really know them, don’t know how credible this things are. However two things are remarkable. a. They, like Genetiker, put...

Thank you for your comment, bicycleur 2. I am assuming the Genetiker result of R-M269 for ATP3 in Atapuerca. Is not valid that information?

These results are consistent with the emergence of R-P312 individuals in -2673 to -2300 BC, Late Chalcolithic/Bronze Age, in central-west Europe.

According to the genetic relatedness during -5000 to -3000 BC, Europe is divided again in two zones. If we plot the R-M269 individuals, the most ancient individual is I2181 in Bulgaria (-4508 BC) with 26% of ANE admixture, which can be considered in the central-west Europe zone by proximity. The...

When we add the most ancient R-P297* individual, I4630 in Latvia (-7268 BC), we observe that it is included in a larger relatedness zone (-7000 to -5000 BC, approx.) extending to all Europe. There is another more recent R-P297 individual in this zone and another one in an Asiatic zone with less...

Joining the y-adn data of R1b individuals with this genetic relatedness is very illustrative, as you can see in the figure. The most ancient R-L754 data are Villabruna in Italy (-12071 BC), VLASA32 in Serbia (-7655 BC) and I4081 in Romania (-7411 BC). All individuals can be considered enclosed...

Thank you for your post. I agree with you about the J Roman patrilineage. In my own case, for example, I possibly descend of a legionary in NW Hispania. The quote is of a Maciamo's post in another thread. To my (limited) knowledge, it is a good resume of our (Spanish) ancestry in terms of...

Phenotypes of the Spaniards There are no surprise. All is as it can be expected if we read a Maciamo's post in another thread, which I completely agree and repeat here. "Yet Spaniards aren't that much of Roman descent." Many people believe that Spanish are Roman descent, but it is not so much...
