    Ancient Pannonians and Ancient Illyrians....I2 and E-V13

    These clades split around 2400 BC, or 1000-2000 years before Urnfield. You need a 3000-3500 year old clade with a diverse cluster concentrated in this area. Most of the results you mentioned are scattered U152 who could more recent arrivals from further west. No way to know without NGS or aDNA...

    Updated phylogenetic tree of E-V13

    It could very easily be just a bottleneck. Any evidence of this? As far as I know, the person who claimed it to be E-V13 has not provided the SNP calls.

    R1b-U106 among the Goths

    Very interesting, I am looking forward to this paper being published. Do you know if any more Y-DNA results were announced?

    Genetic Origins of Minoans and Mycenaeans

    You know this is largely a reflection of clan lineage domination and expansion in the last 500-800 years. Greek and Bulgarian E-V13 obviously would not be affected by this. That is not how diversity works in relation to historical presence btw.

    Genetic Origins of Minoans and Mycenaeans

    Yes, as I mentioned there is an IE connection, but we were talking about Greece and Catacomb culture. It has not been found in aDNA from either one so far. Just because because it is an IE line currently present in Greece does not make it Catacomb or proto-Greek. Could be, but you need either...

    Genetic Origins of Minoans and Mycenaeans

    When you make claims, the burden of proof is with you. I hoped you had some. Anyway, I have not looked at possible modern Greek KMS67 in studies, but that one SNP-confirmed result forms a subclade with a Swiss person, most likely tmrca 2000-3000 ybp. KMS67 is also present all over Europe and...

    Genetic Origins of Minoans and Mycenaeans

    Is there any evidence for this at all?

    Genetic Origins of Minoans and Mycenaeans

    Looking forward to that one being on YFull. I believe it will be R-BY147912-.

    Genetic Origins of Minoans and Mycenaeans

    I know. They specifically mention avoiding Arvanites in the sample: "During the sample collection, attention was given to this issue: individuals who self-reported as Arvanite were excluded from the analysis." Why would there be any foul play?

    Genetic Origins of Minoans and Mycenaeans

    One reason may be that the authors avoided people of Arvanite ancestry whenever it was possible. Same thing goes for Euboea.

    Genetic Origins of Minoans and Mycenaeans

    I said "history of Albanian populations", which inludes Arvanites, but also other regions. Macedonia and its western regions had many different ethnic groups until the early 20th century, including Albanians (ex: in Loechovo, Drosopigi/Belkameni, Flampouro/Nevogan, etc.). It is actually not...

    Genetic Origins of Minoans and Mycenaeans

    Certain. It peaks in areas with a history of Albanian populations: Peloponnese, Attica, West Macedonia, etc. Maybe, but you have to look at how old these clusters are and estimate when and where the mrca lived.

    What Denisovans may have looked like

    That first picture was produced on MS Paint.

    Genetic Origins of Minoans and Mycenaeans

    @Demetrios R-M269 shows pretty fluctuations in Greece (btw a large chunk of it is R-BY611). E-V13 is not that evenly spread either. Anyway, I do am not saying we can refute all R-M269 branches as possible proto-Greek Y-DNA lines. My point is, differences in frequency are not very indicative...

    Proto-Albanians and proto-Romanians (Y-DNA)

    An interesting discussion started in the thread dedicated to Minoan and Mycenean origins, so let's continue in a more focused manner here. What can Y-DNA data tell us about affinities between proto-Albanian and proto-Romanian and the regions where their speakers might have lived? There seems to...

    Genetic Origins of Minoans and Mycenaeans

    @Demetrios. I replied to the info you posted, hinting a relation between Carpi and Albanians, which I find implausible. That was my main point. If you agree, great. On possible links between Romanians and Albanians, common paleo-Balkan lines spreading around the time protoAlbanian-protoRomanian...

    Genetic Origins of Minoans and Mycenaeans

    I did not say it is because of the substrate as that is only one element. There are many pieces of evidence, from different fields, that suggest that the Romanian language formed south of the Danube. Read what Schramm has to say about it if you haven't had a chance until now. Albanians are...

    a sample of ~600 shows that 71% of Saudi Arabians carry J1-M267 (J-P58 mutation)

    How you imagine it was done does not matter. You are wrong for claiming that it happened so much that it transformed the Y-DNA of Central Asian populations, which it did not. So far, from Ancient DNA: non-Arab J1 in Central Asia & Caucasus: "very few". Arabic J1 in Central Asia & Caucasus...

    Genetic Origins of Minoans and Mycenaeans

    This assertion rests on the very disputable, if not already obsolete, assumption that Romanian stems from Dacian. While some Romanians might have partial Dacian ancestry, the Romanian language probably moved there from South of the Danube in the Middle Ages. And in addition to linguistics, note...

    early farmer DNA in the Carpathian Basin

    It does not complicate things because only a few branches of I2a1 might be associated with Slavic expansions, and this particular sample did not belong to any of them. In fact, it is older than their ages.
