I am interested about keto diets. And some people doing keto diets argue that before Neolithic, people (assumed to be hunter-gatherers) were mostly eating animals (meat, fat, bones ...) but they were not eating plants, since the calorie content of "natural" plants was so low, that it did not...

Current Europeans are not the "original" Europeans (WHG), but an admixture of WHG, Yamnaya and Anatolian farmers. It seems a similar process of admixture occurred in many other civilisations. One of the conclusions is that the current people in an area do not need to be the same kind of people...

I have been an R programmer for a long time (nothing to do with life sciences). I see that many of the tools in Eurogenes, Dodecad, ... are just relatively straightforward applications of statistical science (PCA analysis, minimizing distances, etc.). For me, doing PCA (and similar) and charting...

23andme tells me my paternal haplogroup is R-Y4010, which is a sub-branch of the very common, in Western Europe, R-M269 (a R1b one). 23andme tells me R-Y4010 is relatively common. However, when I try to find some information about it (especially, its regional distribution) I cannot find...

This sounds a bit odd, right? Or not? https://www.independent.co.uk/environment/homo-sapiens-origin-humans-botswana-zambezi-river-a9174396.html

Guess the ethnicity of these two women (it is not the same, necessarily):

I live in a European country where 23andme does not ship Health reports (Ancestry are OK). I have seen there are some alternative pages where I could upload the raw data provided by 23andme. Is there any of these pages that works similarly to a 23andme Health report?

I am surprised about the amount of posts on Spain and blondism / Scandinavia / Northern Europe. Am I missing something? Has anything happened that induces this interest? It seems obvious to me that the Iberian peninsula is populated by Mediterraneans. For sure, some of them are blonde...

I am trying to learn about paleogenetics, and even though I more or less understand what happened in Europe for the last say 10,000 years, I still do not understand well the issue of Behavioral modernity. I have read for example the wikipedia...

Agriculture appeared first in the Fertile Crescent, around 12,000 years ago. From reading in this forum, I realize that the current European population has little to do with the people living in Europe 12,000 years ago: we are a mixture of ANE, WHG and EEF. And this mixture happened relatively...

I have been reading and learning about DNA Testing for some time. I now know a few things (a bit more than before, much less than I would like). I would like to do a DNA test. But still I do not know what to do. There seems to be two different things: - One is the DNA Testing company: the...

I am learning a lot from this forum. I now know that all European have different combinations from WHG (the "European ancestors"), EEF (Anatolian farmers, which are the biggest share, especially on the European South) and ANE (which, if I understand correctly, means also "Yamnaya"). Loschbour...

Homo Sapiens Idaltu are a subspecies of Sapiens. Khoisans are Homo Sapiens Sapiens. But then, from the graph: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_evolution#/media/File:Homo_sapiens_lineage.svg It seems as if Khoisan, and even Central African Foragers, diverged from the rest of Homo Sapiens...

According to: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6424407/Every-person-spawned-single-pair-adults-living-200-000-years-ago-scientists-claim.html all humans descend from a couple. My probabilistic intuition fails here. It seems all our homo genes (in the billions of humans) descend from a...

All Iberian men were wiped out by Yamna men 4,500 years ago, according to David Reich. https://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/spanish-men-were-completely-wiped-out-by-the-arrival-of-a-new-tribe-4000-years-ago/ The original reference is newscientist, but it is under pay wall. However, I...

Hello, I have tried to educate myself recently in this forum. For sure, I have learned a lot. But I still do not know which is the right company for me. As a consequence, I would like to ask to people with a working experience with some of the companies listed here, which is the right for me...
