Genetic study The origin and legacy of the Etruscans through a 2000-year archeogenomic time transec

was their not more of these people under the kingdom of Naples from 16th century onwards ?
I have seen numbers of 40000 plus
In Sicily
" La loro consistenza numerica andava da circa 7.500 unità originarie a 8.234 nel 1570 ed a 8.958 nel 1589. E questo quando la popolazione complessiva dell'isola non arrivava in quegli anni alle 800.000 unita."
The 7,500 WAS given in 1550.
In 1542 Southern Mainland Italy: 5775 people.
So in 1550 there were around 13,000-14,000.

Their population did grew over 40,000 within time of course.

Some other waves came in next centuries.
 
IMHO, I think the Aegean_IA samples from the upcoming paper on Campania, as well as the samples shown in Olalde et al. 2021 indicate to me that this source was in the South, prior to the imperial era. When they became part of Rome, it was Italics/Etruscans that pulled them north, and other northern sources like Lombards and Normans, that contributed to pulling them North/East. Which is why South Italy is "North/east" of the Aegean_IA today. Likewise, when these people traveled up the boot, they pulled the people there towards the south as well.

Doesn't the new paper show Iron-Age southern italians plotting with other Italics/Etruscans? Why would south italy be like Aegean IA beforehand? They were just italics with some Greek settlement later on.
 
Did someone check if Etruscan G2a subclades and the recent samples from Croatian Encrusted Pottery Culture G2a subclades have relations?

G25 Italian averages aren't completely accurate.
 
It was an interesting choice to plot Etruscans on a West Eurasian background. They don't seem to have done one on a European dataset. (It would be interesting if someone could produce one for comparison.

However, they did do one on an Italian dataset, and it can be found in the Supplement. They seem to plot closest to people from Bologna from what I can see.

Another interesting graphic is the one below. It's based on qpAdm. They're showing an increase in Iranian Neolithic in modern Tuscans versus even Imperial and Early Medieval, yes? Does anyone know where it was explained? There is no possible mass migration which could explain it, to my knowledge.

On the Italian dataset,the Etruscans resemble NW Italians (Brescia, Como, Savona etc)but with a certain pull towards Sardinians (Olbia/Nuoro).
The modern Bolognese seem very variable, from CEU to Sicilian-like.

It's quite clear, since Di Gaetano 2012, that the Italian samples are not always completely accurate, as is also the case with some sets of Greeks (in the sample of Greek Macedonia, there were even some Pontic Greeks). There may also be more technical explanations due to various factors like the genotyping, not just the inaccurate starting sampling. The Etruscans as well as the Latins maintain higher WHG values, to find those values so high you have to go fishing in the linguistic minorities of northern Italy, who obviously have an extra input of recent northern European DNA.

I've seen the private results of Emilian individuals and they are where you'd expect them to be, intermediate between Lombardy and Tuscany, with the Bolognese usually closer to the Tuscans. Then there are exceptions everywhere, with some Apennine specimens, perhaps due to inbreeding occurring in the smaller, more isolated communities, both in the Emilian and Tuscan side going further north.

Are you still playing around that linguistics have a value on ethnicity as part of people

Please let me know when the non-indo european Etruscan language became a Indo-european language
 
Can anyone here explain to me Torzio's question how it relates to what was being discussed.

That's mistake number one; you're still reading his posts.
 
Which of the 48 imperial samples from Antonio et al 2019 are used in this study? It seems they are only selecting a couple of them to utilize to construct their version of Imperial Rome samples. There is only 2 samples in all of the 48 that are North African-like, it seems pretty lop-sided that they would include both while eliminating so many of the others.

None of the 48 Imperial samples is used in this study, they used just the 6 the found. I can partially understand why they wanted to rely on samples found not in Rome but in Tuscany in order to speak about Tuscany, but given that they have verified that Tuscany wasn't much different from Rome both before and after the imperial period, and given the paucity of just 6 samples, I hold they ought to have integrated the other 48 samples in their analysis.

You are right, thanks.
 
Let's take a look at 5 of the 6 samples. (I don't seem to have ETR016)

These people are mostly C6, with only one sample being C5, and the other being a North African-mixed outlier.

Maybe if this study bothered to examine the genetic variation of the so-called Imperial cluster, they would see that C6 was present in the Iron age. Two even matches close to R437, for God sake!

So, how does this correlate with archeological records, who were the Central European Urnfielders which the Proto-Villanovan culture was supposedly a descendeant of?

If all Etruscan R1b and G2a lines were from Early Bronze Age then who were the Latte Bronze Age Urnfielders, some other Italic tribes?

Hard to say, urnfielders practiced incineration, there will always be a shortage of data for the final bronze. Although J2b2-L283 seems to have remained a unicum, for me it arrived during the Protovillanovan in the Etruscans. And we have to wait for the analysis of the Italics and all that. Basically there is still a lack of data for a very large part of Iron Age Italy.
