No, Hungarians did not come from North East Asia but somewhere around Chelyabinsk near Kazakhstan. If you are a farmer and do not move from your home area, of course, you marry a local woman who does everything in a way you are used to. However, Hungarians were not farmers but Eurasian nomads...

In fact, Eastern mtDNA is present in two ancient Hungarians from Karos-Eperjesszög with yDNA R1b and I2. There are two R1b guys and their mtDNAs are H and B, and two I2a2 guys whose mtDNAs are H and A. H seems to be CRS so it could be H2a2 which is frequent on the steppe and Volga Ural where...

Jaakko Häkkinen who has given the most recent dating for different protolanguage levels based on linguistic criteria does not propose that Proto-Uralic is dated 2000 BCE. In his model pre-Proto-Uralic and Proto-Uralic is dated between 3500 and 2800. The late Proto-Uralic is dated 2300 BC...

Indeed! Only European components: North Sea, Atlantic, Baltic and East Euro. That 0.8% of Oceanian is probably archaic noise.

The figure 3 in Haak 2015 provides us with evidence of higher WHG ancestry in Estonia. In this figure Estonians seem to be more than 30% Loschbour like. The guy Angela posted is Loscbour. Isn't he?

It appears that Motala hunter-gatherers who surely were not IE speakers were white and had blue eyes: “Seven people from the 7700-year-old Motala archaeological site in southern Sweden had both light skin gene variants, SLC24A5 and SLC45A2. They also had a third gene, HERC2/OCA2, which causes...

I am sure that pigmentation varies according to UV exposure, nutrition and vitamin D synthesis (and maybe some sexual selection is at play) and has nothing to do with intelligence; and not even with Indo-Europeans :). According to Wikipedia: people living close to the equator are highly darkly...

And then, there is the ice hockey player Teemu Selänne. He is doing brilliantly with his Siberian genes.

To my endless astonishment, there are people who are obsessed with the East Asian percentage of Uralics. Here are photos of two former Finnish football players. If we should describe Jari Litmanen more East Asian than Sami Hyypiä, who really cares! I would readily accept a man like him if also...

Where do you get this information? When I look at the table in Allentoft et altri supplementary material, they say that RISE00 from Estonia is female and I cannot find any other samples from Estonia.

Globular Amphora Culture ca. 3400–2800 BC looks very much Indo-European. Their culture corresponds to the IE vocabulary which Robert Beekes has reconstructed in his book "Comparative Indo-European Linguistics: An introduction". Such words include many agricultural words and in particular words...

That Hong Shi map is rubbish. :) I am pretty sure it will be refuted when we get ancient yDNA from the relevant areas as their map goes against all subgroup information and ancient yDNA evidence we have. Bicicleur, “that means Yakuts probably never made it as far west as Europe” Read the PDF...

Tomenable, the figure you posted is as good as this: Both are based on modern frequencies with the logic of highest frequency equals oldest age and do not take into account the TMRCA of different subclades and the available ancient yDNA evidence.

Goga, I would prefer neutral terms 'northeast Eurasian' / 'southeast Eurasian', or, if you want to insist, 'Siberian' / 'Mongoloid', because Siberian is formed from ANE + ENA while Mongoloid is only ENA. However, there are two types of Siberian: depending on the model, Arctic is up to 70% ANE...

With modernity I mean the Bronze Age upheavals. That Wikipedia tree is not the only phylogenetic tree available. These phylogenetic trees from the paper “A recent bottleneck of Y chromosome diversity coincides with a global change in culture” are better...

“The Finns are Uralic speakers and have only 5% of R1a” This is not correct and most Uralic groups have very high amounts of R1a: Finns: 7.9% (according to Zerjal et al) (the Finnish average should be rounded up to 10% and not to 5%) Western Finns: 8.7% (according to Lappalainen et al) Eastern...

Corded Ware influence is obvious in Finland autosomally, archaelogically and linguistically. I think that the highest R1a frequency is in Bothnia area (in the Northwest). However, there is R1a everywhere. You can check it here https://www.familytreedna.com/public/Finland?iframe=ymap or here...

This is my own position (red dot) with respect to ancient samples according to Eurogenes. You can see that I am close to Corded Ware in the direction of SHG. I doubt that there are many people on this forum who are closer to Corded Ware than I am.

This admixture run from the recent Ainu paper is interesting from the ENA perspective. It is interesting to try to trace ANE in these admixture runs as we know that Siberians and Arctic people are high in ANE. Yellow is Neolithic farmer ancestry which is absent in Ma1 and other ancient...

Angela, in a way I am very excited about this American paleo-Melanesian theory and in the recent Ket paper there were exctiting haplotrees such as this: I do not know what is the current state of our knowledge but I recently wrote a comment that summarizes what I currently think about this...
