I noticed several misconceptions and misunderstanding of events in several discussions. I hardly have the time and wish to to talk to some. I am posting a reference to a work by a western researcher, because it is often the matter of terms, that are familiar to a person. By no means is this work...

Yes, its developement as a separate language was propelled by commie regulation, when southern rural dialects of Eastern Slavic were elevated to status of language, as policy of fighting "GreatRussian imperial chauvinism". Even after forced adoption, forced convertion of identity to Ukrainian...

Here is a bit of history how we Russians built administrative division, called Ukraina, for our own convinience. The blue part is called NovoRossiya for a good reason. My guess is the next one to collapse is the the green bit, so former Ukraina is collapsing in reverse. We highly value your...

Aksyonov, the head of the Krim republic suggested to Kiev to consider parting with Krim as a step in true parting with the communist past and heritage. http://ria.ru/world/20160604/1442802343.html Heh-heh (eng.) Хе-хе (rus.) The captions say: - Leave us alone! We don't need communist...

LOL, Did Putin ever even suggest that? A strange obsession with him to the west of our turf. I suggested that. Many folks around prefer the old name - precisely the reason why the university in Simferopol' is called Tavricheskiy. The matter is not a priority, because it would cause more...

Now a clarification is needed if R1b was the Old Yamnaya.

They decided that everyone was waiting for them to join that prestigious club where they'd become rich. Yeah. That's right, something went very wrong. They are so used to communist privileges and subsidies that they are simply considering the EU a better option of a big daddy who will provide...

Didn't the communist pseudo-elite tell the various Central-Eastern "euros" just to get lost in any direction, having been busy at the time grabbing the fat and juicy bits of lands and the economy, like the commodities trade? I don't remember any of them having feelings of loss. Someone must...

As one person at forumbiodiversity called it the revolution of indo-europeanisation, still rolling today. If there were any early N in Yamnaya, they left no descendants.

Out of R1a there should be only Z93 in Yamnaya, which is my bet. I think the answer may be more interesting. The type of burials with legs flexed position body lying on side facing south was an R1a cultural thing. Such burials are found in Maykop and in C-T, for example. The respective types of...

The west-Asian component should have been brought in by R1b and Maykop J2. The R1b folks probably still had quite a bit of ANE. R1a was there certainly. G2 and I2 in the westernmost part. The culture was too big. I just hope they have chosen the sort of samples to give a good representative...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giray_dynasty One of the parallel lines is I1.

Curiously, The Red Square in Moskva is actually Krasnaya Ploschad' or beautiful, where "ploschad'" is should be recognizable as Plaza. Terms krasnaya devitsa (beautiful girl) and krasniy molodets (outstanding man) were used previously. Men would ware red shirts (krasnaya rubaha) for...

There doesn't have to be any in the area. The R1a-Z93 folks didn't pick up any of the earlier neighboring Yamnaya layers R1b guys along with them (as per Klyosov), nor did they get any of my neighboring ancestral Fatyanovo R1a-Z283 Volga River folks with them. Yes we have one Andronovo hg C...

To complicate things further, Galich in Russia in Kostroma region.

I remember seeing an initiative to test ancient R1b samples. This should be a perfect opportunity. Academic research may still be lagging behind.

I have been vegetarian for nearly 5 years. Yoga and stuff. A conscious decision to improve and maintain health and not going back. Niether do I want to kill creatures that don't deserve death.

I am not sure this isn't the old-fashioned approach, not the paleolithic continuity model for R1b, not Zhivo's rates. I hope they have taken Klyosov's criticism and have gone for more than a 6- or 12-marker haplotypes which they ran through a y-dna predictor. No mention of any tested terminal...

Nothing in the article about the publication date. It is to be by Klein's former student Kovalyov who's been digging in Mongolia and Xinjiang. They are linking the Chemurchek culture to a clear migration from France (surprise!) - you can find more in English. Klein isn't as certain as Kovalyov...

Hi, I thought you might like this. Klyosov is publishing a series of articles on R1b and related burial practices. The latest one (in Russian, use google translate) at pereformat_ru/2014/05/arbins-2/ - I cannot link yet, replace the underscore with dot. A small exerpt from his correspondence...
