Paper just got released, hopefully some treats in store - after such a long time waiting for interesting aDNA papers it better be worth it! https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/5/7/eaax0061 The ancient Mediterranean port city of Ashkelon, identified as “Philistine” during the Iron Age...

From here: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/dna-mating-asian-herders-european-farmers Anybody else as confused as I am? I thought there were only two remaining camps - the Southern origin associated with the source of Steppe CHG and the indigenous Northern Steppe origin. But now, it looks...

It's what the title suggests - I've found data on a whole bunch of Y DNA and mtDNA of samples (no auDNA), some of which have not yet been formally published and most of which are preprints. Sometime later today, I'll post on all the info. A word of warning though - while most of the Y DNA calls...

See here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-46924289 A father, whose ex-partner forged his signature to conceive a child via an IVF clinic, said he was "absolutely floored" when he found out. The man, who can only be identified as ARB, sued IVF Hammersmith for damages for the cost of...

Of course, not doubting the truth of the shooting, but could someone explain why Trump is faking via green screen? It?s so obvious, I can?t see there being any other possible explanation for the ?off? look: Bit spooky to be honest. Check the comments, by the way, they mostly seem to agree.

Wondering what people think about this: The lines capped-off by green dots represent what I see as the most likely breeding ground for the Y DNA written nearest to that particular line - note that this is VERY rough, and the general area only should be considered (so, for example, my placing...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mu6Wg8A5qBI He appears at 2:27 and again at 3:27. He SCREAMS intelligence to me - it may sound silly, but I strongly believe you can tell if somebody is intelligent by their facial structure.

In, as far as I know, all of the most ancient sites associated with copper metallurgy, swastikas have been found. I will be focusing on Mesopotamia here, but it is worth noting the presence of Swastikas, metallurgy and primitive writing script in the Chalcolithic Balkans. The spread of the...

What do people think about this? Forget any DNA evidence for now, just skip to the photos of mummies on the post below and comment your opinion: https://web.archive.org/web/20170806080745/https://genetiker.wordpress.com/2016/02/03/statuettes-of-the-white-gods/ No Nordicism is necessary here...

Will we ever get autosomal results from this guy? Given his confirmed natural red hair (not dyed or a result of the mummification process - this has been proven and discussed to death so take your own time to Google), the results would be fascinating. It's extremely unlikely he would have been...

The title is basically a fancy way of saying the following: How can we account for widespread reports of, for example, red hair in certain regions where rufosity is currently virtually absent? (This applies slightly to blue eyes too, and to a much lesser extent blonde hair) This applies...

I often see people floating a figure of about 30 generations ago, and about 3/4 of a millennium ago, but was the bottleneck really that recent? Was the bottleneck from very few families moving to the Rhineland, or from very few families moving to Poland-Lithuania?
