Why would you expect Greeks? The earlies samples with Balkan-steppe ancestry from present-day Greece are Logkas, Theopetra and Sarakenos and the latter 2 weren't included in the IBD analysis of this study. The next earliest are from Skourtanioti et al 2023 and these also weren't included.

Which samples are these?

Tom Roswell and his online Nazi loser friends, after realising their dreams of "Nordic" ancient Greeks and Romans have been irrevocably turned to dust thanks to ancient DNA, are now settling for vague, nonsensical analytical categories such as "more European" and "less European". Hahahahaha

France, Iberia and parts of Northern Italy speak Romance languages today because of the Roman Empire. I'd say that's pretty meaningful. The only issue I see is that some labs and researchers still lag behind the aDNA findings and don't seem to realise (yet) that the "partly-Near Eastern admixed...

The wording changed because this version of the paper doesn't include Imperial Roman period samples, compared to the earlier abstract.

This is from the paper:

One of the Olalde et al samples from Viminacium is close to Napoleon's branch, he has a Western Anatolian profile.

Ok sure I was wrong about Churchill's paternal surname. Napoleon is still E-M34 though

As for Churchill, most males with that surname belong to an I1 branch (I-S1954), I'm not sure where the E-V13 rumour came from.

Are we still talking about Napoleon? Wasn't his paternal ancestry Italian?

Napoleon is E-M34 and he belongs to this branch: https://www.yfull.com/tree/E-Y58897/ https://discover.familytreedna.com/y-dna/E-BY36878/tree which isn't Jewish

If you Ctrl + F for "Grant" in the peer-reviewed paper that recently came out, you'll see that this Grant fella isn't peer-reviewed and many of his theories are heavily disputed.

Not sure why people expect J2b or E-V13, we already have plausible Macedonian (Paeonian? Brygian?) and Doric-related samples and none of them belong to these haplogroups.

Proto-Greeks didn't have Corded Ware ancestry and they didn't come to Greece as unadmixed Yamnaya migrants (which is what Lazaridis proposed in 2022). The analyses of the Aegean paper are also lackluster (not entirely their fault). Based on the genetic data we have so far, the most likely...

What the **** is this? Posting personal information of FTDNA matches is illegal. Are there no moderators in this forum?

Which recent findings?

I-CTS10228 is almost certainly native to eastern Europe and has nothing to do with Suevi or Celts. I-CTS4002 (the parent node) has a BA sample from Romania and I-S19848 (the grandparent node) has a sample from BA Bulgaria, this is before these ethnic groups existed. As for the rest, we will see...

It's just founder effects, nothing to do with selection. There's nothing special about L21 as opposed to the myriad other Y chromosome founder effects we've seen in global populations. It's just been over-analysed to death because Anglo-Americans + Irish-Americans are the largest testing cohort...

The rumour about "elite Mycenaean R-Z2103" comes from a comment made by Davidski a few years ago and he referred to the site of Mycenae itself, not the Argolid in general. There's no other source about this sample (that I'm aware of), so haplotree.info added this based on Davidski's comment...

Modern Y DNA distributions don't correlate 1:1 with past admixtures because in the meantime you can have founder effects, further gene flow from neighbouring regions who are autosomally similar but might have a different Y structure, etc. On the Germanic question, one explanation could simply...
