well, I will try to be concise and straight to the point. I think we all should try to be as synthetic as possible and as precise as possible, since, although modern genetics have supposedly more precision than some older anthropological and racial studies, it lacks in concrete representations...

W What exaclty would this North Sea be? I1? It makes sense for eastern hunter gatherers from Russia to have more North Sea, North Sea is western hunter gatherer(I1 and I2), you must remember that Eastern Hunter Gatherers had about 25-30% Western Hunter Gatherer admixture.

I find this model for Gedrosia very weird. many people had pointed out that besides EHG(ANE), most of Yamna ancestry should be CHG, which makes sense, but I don't see how there could so much as 25% gedrosian admixture, more than CHG? unless one corresponds to the other? in the samples we see...

This level of caucasian admixture doesn't seem very plausible to me. Read this: https://www.eupedia.com/genetics/yamna_culture.shtml Here the modulation for caucasian genome is significantly smaller, many U samples among mtDNA. People forget the very low concentration of R1a among Yamna...

I didn't say R1b was known for blondism. But there are many blonde R1b, or at least brown hair. Blondism is not related exclusively to haplogroup, it is an allele that came up some where in Eastern Europe and is associated with Baltic Populations. R1b is associated with red hair, that is a fact...

Well, check this link: https://www.eupedia.com/europe/Haplogroup_I2_Y-DNA.shtml I2 is an ancient haplogroup in Europe from Paleolithic times and abundant in the mesolithic. Independent of subclade it wasn't the slavs who brought I2, you are right when you say that I2 in slavic countries are a...

I mean the classical nordic phenotype shown in old physical anthropology books. G2a is fore sure not nordic, this haplogroup was brought to Europe through the Neolithic farmers from Anatolia. I2a is related, but doesn't depict as often the fair traits, countries with high concentration of I2...

R1b U106 was the R1b subclade that spread Germanic languages, not R1a. R1a is more often than not associated with Slavs, negligible presence of R1a in West Germany and very few in Netherlands, common in Poland and somewhat in East Germany. Sweden(the blondiest country in the world) is the...

I agree man. People are too narrow minded or sometimes lack the creativity and ingenuity to infer. Although I would make a few changes to the haplogroup european phenotypes associations you made, check my post above. I would relate I1 more closely to the Nordics than R1a, R1a would be baltic...

I would like to mark a few points: 1- Yes, Y-DNA can be tricky regarding race classification for sure( in the case of Europe I prefer to call it ethnicities or phenotypes), since autosomal DNA equates more precisely with someone's phenotype. However, Y-DNA is incredibly useful in determining...
