The Bronze Age Collapse and its possible ancient DNA implications

We are talking about events happening 7500 -5500 we know E-V13 has been roaming around in Europe at least for 7000 ybp. and it seems that melanin levels during this period were not a detrimental issue to distinguish particular groups as perhaps it is today and Lactose tolerance only started around 4000 ybp Correct me if Im wrong.

that 7000 ybp was based on STR
he was related to the forefathers of E-V13, but he was not E-V13
 
Why would it always be mentioned as such if it was just related? wouldn't a forefather (its precursor) be termed as E-M78? Studies have also shown that its well related i to the Balkan E-V13

when the study, based on STR was published details of the tree like the E-L618 branch were not even known

and according to YFull, TRMCA of E-V13 is just 4300 years
 
since you are Italian,
then check villanovan culture swords,
not a socket, but nails correct? mainly 3?
then go to Arne Furumark, the archaiologist of Etruscans

I will bring you more linguistic and archaological I have to leave now,


quoting my shelf

I continue to answer that there are archiological evidences

Gods Tinia Ethausva etc
the peagon gods are not Greek culture,
Mc Laughlin sets connections among Voiotia (Βοιωτια) with cyclades
Βοιωτια is next to Attica a well known center of Pelasgians, although clearly not Greek,
as Ερετρια Eretria,

no need to mention about Lemnean stele,


now for more

watch that helmet,
reminds you something?
Surely not IE, not Mycenean, but?
they first apear at Avantis Euboea then Corinth then Etruria, late Vilanovan
as also the swords structure,
and although Villanovan has the burial system of IE and probaly is, at early phases, later seems to effected by non IE Etruscan, wich strangely show connectivity with areas around Attica, like Corinthian style helmets,
 
Is the yDna "E" found during the transition from the mid-to-late Neolithic a precursor then, or just a related branch? Unless we find "E" in earlier Neolithic contexts, the arrival of ydna "E" and "J2" could still herald the arrival of a new group, an arrival that we already saw in the mtDna, yes?

If the former, then I think we could still speculate that the specific E-V13 mutation perhaps took place in Europe. If the latter, perhaps there's another possibility, i.e. that a brother clade made its first entrance during the Bronze Age?

Expansion dates would be something different again.

@LeBrok
I'm not sure how to interpret that data from the Bean Project. They give some information about LP and skin color for these Bronze Age villages, but they don't tell us the corresponding information about the Neolithic villages to which they were compared. They do say, however, that the fst between the mid-to-late Neolithic villagers and the Bronze Age villagers is low, although we have to keep in mind that this is based only on mtDna.


@Yetos,
No one is denying that there were extensive contacts between Italy and the broader Aegean area, some entering via Sardinia. We discussed it extensively in a number of threads. The question is whether this entailed a broad folk movement or even a substantial movement of elites.

The reason it's a difficult question to answer without ancient dna is that there is no sign of destruction of settlements, etc., and there is evidence for a great deal of continuity from Villanova. On the other hand, we do see the building of different kinds of hilltop settlements. You can find Italian researchers taking various positions, and some even started out supporting the idea of an intrusion and then changed their minds. This was the case in terms of the analysis of ancient mtDna from the Etruscans. Some of the researchers found a link between the mtDna in a few Tuscan villages and some found in Turkey. Subsequent research showed that the lineages were so old that they could have entered Italy in the Neolithic. Of course, this was not based on complete sequencing of the mtDna, so the conclusion could change again. What the research did show was that generally, based on the mtDna of these elite Etruscans, there wasn't a lot of continuity from the ancient elite Etruscans to modern Tuscans, although there is continuity between medieval Tuscans and modern Tuscans. Now, I find that disappointing, since having ancestry from an area that abuts the Etruscan areas, and being a bit obsessed with their culture, I've always hoped I'd be a bit related to them. We'll see what more modern analyses show.

Ydna would give us more information. Again, though, we'd need a very complete analysis down to subclade levels, good dating, and a comparison to other, older samples in Italy. Let's say, for example, that it turns out they carried J2. It's possible. However, we have J2 already in Europe in the mid-to-late Neolithic. Was it also in Italy? Even if it was, was it the same kind? Could it be J2a which came via Crete? Could it be some form of R1b L23? We just don't know yet.

Autosomally, all we have is that PCA posted upthread by Pax Augusta. The authors never posted the data, just the PCA. It was from a poster. This is a link to the Dienekes' post where he discussed it.

I agree with the conclusion that they basically look like modern Southern Europeans. I don't know how we can say definitively much more than that. One clusters with Spaniards, one right near modern Tuscans but a little north and east, and one more north and east again? Perhaps Bulgarian? Or could it be between Bulgarian and North Italian? I don't think that sample can be plotting with mainland Greeks, because in every plot I've seen they plot slightly south of Tuscans, but who knows what more samples will show. Also, it has to be kept in mind that these are elite people. What was the mass of the population like? Were they more or less EEF like? Also to be kept in mind is that roughly speaking we have a Neolithic sample from Spain that was described as modern "Tuscan" like.

The bottom line is that this, like a lot of other things, is going to have to wait for ancient dna.

See the following thread for the most recent discussion of the genetics of the Etruscans.

Etruscan culture:

These are nice, fresh, uncontaminated Etruscan remains. We wouldn't get a ydna, but we might get a good autosomal analysis.

when the study, based on STR was published details of the tree like the E-L618 branch were not even known
https://www.yfull.com/tree/E-Z1919/
and according to YFull, TRMCA of E-V13 is just 4300 years

From the paper:- Analysis of shared haplotypes showed that the G2a haplotype found in ancient specimens is rare in current populations: its frequency is less than 0.3%(Table S3). The haplotype of individual ave07 is more frequent (2.44%), particularly in southeastern European populations (up to 7%). The Ave07 haplotype was also compared with current Eb1b1a2 haplotypes previously published (10–14). It appeared identical at the seven markers tested to five Albanian, two Bosnian, one Greek, one Italian, one Sicilian, two Corsican, and two Provence French samples and are thus placed on the same node of the E1b1b1a1b-V13 network as eastern, central, and western Mediterranean haplotypes (Fig. S1).

http://dienekes.blogspot.com.mt/2011/11/y-haplogroups-e-v13-and-g2a-in.html

The TMRCA represents the time of the Most Recent Common Ancestor of everyone who has tested for a given haplogroup. That doesnet mean that the haplogroup was mutated then. The actual date is when the mutation occured. In fact it is stated Formed 7700 ybp. The difference between TMRCA and original date (formed) is because only one descendant (of the original ancestor with the SNP) from the time of the MRCA has been found to have descendants today.

If indeed its the case of being just E-Z1919 then it would be unfairly labled as E-V13 (like its presented in most articles) as E-Z1919 could also be E-V22 which formed over 4000 years prior to E-V13 and E-Z1919 is parent for both subclades.

E-Z1919 was found in an Iron age site in todays Bulgaria (Thracian) living some 2450 to 2850 ybp which could very possibly fall under E-V13 when one considers that E-V13 is one of the major haplogroups in this region currently (16%)
 
Maciamo says that Dorian 'invaders' where R1b while Myceneans R1a.

I made a map showing the distribution of R1a in modern Greece, if it helps:

b.d. = no data used
