It would be cool if we can get maps of the three ancestral components of europeans: http://bga101.blogspot.com/2013/12/eef-whg-ane-test-for-europeans.html The team produced a single map with the three inputs composited which makes it very difficult to see how they are really distributed...

Also the Andronovo crania are more gracile than Afanasievo which could be indicative of admixture with Mediterraneans. Also a german study of Catacomb Culture and surrounding areas says they had darker eyes than is the average for europeans today. Also anthropologists like Coon and Ripley and...

Andronovo is quite a bit later than yamna and afanasievo and only 60% of the individuals at andronovo exhibited blondism so its still conceivable that blond hair could have been introduced by non-steppe people and then spread to andronovo.

Since the crania from afanasievo cluster with lower volga and since the cultural equipment of Afanasievo is very similar to the Repin culture and Afanasievo started around 3500BC it will be a good indication if proto-indo-europeans had blond hair if we can show that afanasievo people had...

Kristian Kristiansen very briefly showed a map of ancient siberian samples and their corresponding male and female lines in living populations but i cant find out what study hes referencing. I contacted the person that uploaded the videos to youtube but he couldnt help me. I cant link to the...

Yes they were light skinned but im talking about burn-like-a-vampire pale skin

The centre of gravity of haplogroup R1a in Finland is situated in Finnish-speaking Ostrobothnia (29 %) and to a lesser extent in Bothnia(21 %). Surprisingly, the percentage is lower (8 %) in Swedish- speaking Ostrobothnia. A pigmentantion map by G. Gerland shows that northern Finns ( where...

I cant link to an image because i dont have ten posts yet but do a google search for skin color distribution and you will see that generally the higher the EEF component the darker the skin in europeans.

What puzzles me is that indo-europeans are europoid ( for the most part ) but they belong to mongoloid paternal lines. How did this come about ?

Thank you for the reply. So it seems then that R1a men arrived in the ukraine right after the LGM. What happened to the western hunter gatherer males? Did the R1a's kill them?

From ancient DNA results it seems as though northern europeans were tan-skinned as late as the mesolithic. They didnt need light skin because their diet was rich in vitamin D. They belonged almost exclusively to Hg I. Many of them had blue eyes but not red or blond hair. They might have...

Do we have information on eye color and lactase persistence for the motala samples ?

Do the nordic/alpine/meditteranean classifications of the old anthropologists still hold? More recent studies say no. For example A classification of European Skulls From Three Time Periods - Sokal et. al says: "It is fairly evident that when these cranial variables are employed, racial...
