I missed this when it was first published. The genomic history of the indigenous people of the Canary Islands (Serrano et al. 2023): "considering the best-fitting model, the CIP [Guanche] ancestry can be explained as the admixture of Morocco_LN (73.3% ± 2.2%), Morocco_EN (6.9% ± 1.0%)...

"Principal component analyses (PCAs) performed on the high-coverage Beethoven genome placed it among Europeans, clustering with modern Germans. Testing for admixture among five global populations using ADMIXTURE revealed that Beethoven’s ancestry was >99% European ... Beethoven’s I1a-Z139 Y...

In another thread it was stated that Steppe people picked up blonde hair from Neolithic farmers, namely Funnelbeaker and Globular Amphora. Does anyone know where the farmers got it from? Did they get it from hunter-gatherers or did Neolithic Anatolians already have genes for blonde hair...

Olalde et al. (2019) and Villalba et al. (2021) have Germany_Bell_Beaker as the source of steppe ancestry in Bronze Age Iberia, as well as the source of R1b-M269 lineages which replaced Iberian Copper Age Y-DNA lineages. According to Fregel et al. (2021), the Guanches had steppe ancestry, and...

I noticed G2a-L140 (which appears to be an Indo-European lineage) was found in two Nubian samples from the Christian period: Sirak et al. 2021, Supplementary Information From Eupedia: According to Gad et al. 2020, Yuya (c.1390 BC), the great-grandfather of Tutankhamun had Y-DNA G2a...

In another thread Maciamo said that T2b7 had been found in Bell Beaker samples. I haven't been able to find those samples or any other information on it. Can anyone confirm whether there are Bell Beakers with T2b7? Apparently the thread has since been deleted (R1a-M417 and R1b-M269 in the...

'Insights from ancient DNA analysis of Egyptian human mummies: clues to disease and kinship' (Gad et al. 2020) “An investigative study was carried out on the familial relationships of a number of late 18th dynasty mummies (ca. 1550–1295 B.C.), including that of Tutankhamen. The study was based...

The oldest R1b samples are all from Europe, the oldest/only R* sample is from Siberia, and R1b is absent in samples from the Middle East before the Bronze Age. But the Eupedia R1b page claims that R1b originated in the Middle East. Is this still a plausible theory?

I'm trying to post images in a thread (from imgur or google photos) but it doesn't work. If I put the image address inside it just posts a link as an attachment, but no image, and if I use the image button in the comment toolbox it says it's an invalid URL. I see other people are posting...
