I think Lazaridis is right about the genetic continuity between the Mycenaeans and the Classical Greeks. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/354261916_Cosmopolitanism_at_the_Roman_Danubian_Frontier_Slavic_Migrations_and_the_Genomic_Formation_of_Modern_Balkan_Peoples

It seems that sub-Saharan populations also have this "minor steppe influence" (from "POPULATION GENOMICS OF STONE AGE EURASIA" - Allentoft et al. 2022):

I never said there weren't ancient Greeks with blond hair, evidently some were. Just that all the evidence pointed out that the overwhelming majority were not, contrary to what some people think here. Even among the ancient Minoans there were some blondes:

Unfortunately some people here continue to be obsessed with trying to forcefully prove that the ancient Greeks were pale, blond and blue-eyed... I have a feeling they will be very disappointed with this new research by Reich. Anyway, just look at the "Nordic" physiognomy of these ancient Greek...

You are correct. My mistake, I'm very sorry.

Please don't put in my mouth things I never said: I never said modern Iberians were direct descendants of the Etruscans. "Genetically close" does not necessarily mean "direct descendants". The true descendants of the Etruscans are the modern central Italians. In any case, the Etruscans may have...

Perhaps this shows that the expansion of Indo-European languages in Europe was a much more complex process than the simplistic theory of the horsemen of the pontic steppe.

No, they are not pre-Moorish era samples. They are modern people samples, and the impact of the "Moorish" genetics on modern Iberians is very small: only 5% - 6% and not in all Iberia (north-eastern Spain and Basque Country appears to have received no genetic influx from North Africa). Thus, the...
