Does anybody have any idea what sort of populations or ancestries from said periods would have highest affinity with South Balkans (Greek,Albanian), Italy, and Iberia?

My initial guess would be some republican or likelier imperial pop, but anything before that? Cause I am not aware.

Great job indeed, Jovialis.

It seems that it exists an Etruscan cluster west of northern Italians (and with the new samples it does fit what showed by Stanford 2019).
Correct me if I'm wrong but the only ones that don't join this cluster are the samples labeled as VEN?

Some of those have obvious Greek and Levantine admixture, to be specific, some look like being Jewish as discussed on Anthrogenica as well.

Unnecessary clarification, because it is obvious and known that in the PCA they are not all Etruscans or 100% Etruscan. Those that form this cluster unlikely have some Greek or Levantine or Jewish ancestry.
 
These are the closest to me

Looks Spanish rather than Northwest Italian because you can't average it that way. It is not possible to calculate a medieval Tuscan average based only on those who have a Germanic Y-DNA (which are not all from Tuscany).






I do agree with much of this. Other analyses of Etruscan samples will also come out in the future and hopefully those from the oldest phase (900-500 BC) will be tested, which will clarify what other clades of R1b and in particular of R1b U152 were present among Etruscans.

As we said, O and C among Etruscans was ridiculous. I estimated about 40 percent R1b, but regardless, it's the dominant y DNA.

Given that this covers also the period after the fall, I speculated the Goths and the Lombards for the I and U 106, given the history of Toscana.

As for the exotic E, I can't remember now. What was the coverage?

However, imo some caution is required. We don't know the place or time period of these samples, including the R1b ones.
 
Unnecessary clarification, because it is obvious and known that in the PCA they are not all Etruscans or 100% Etruscan. Those that form this cluster unlikely have some Greek or Levantine or Jewish ancestry.

VEN forms its own cluster apart and some individuals might have more recent East Mediterranean ancestry, but that needs to be clarified.

The coverage is bad according to those knowing better and most being excluded from G25 coordinates because of that.

This study looks promising for shedding more new light on the debate:
Title:
Exploring the genetic diversity of Magna Graecia ? The case of Campania
Content:
Starting in the 8th century BCE, coastal Campania in Southern Italy became a melting pot of various cultures and peoples when Etruscan and Greek colonizers joined local Italic tribes. By establishing cities and trade posts, the contact networks of Campania were further expanded across the Mediterranean and inland.
We generated ancient genomes from Campania, spanning the 8th to 3rd century BCE, i.e. the Orientalizing, Archaic and Hellenistic-Roman period in this region. While most individuals can be attributed to a genetic ancestry that arose on the Italian mainland, we also discover descendants of migrants from the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean. Most notably, an individual dated to the 8th century at the first Greek settlement, Pithekoussai, a site that also yielded the earliest example of writing in the Euboean alphabet, was genetically of Aegean origin, and we find that this type of ancestry persisted at the site for several centuries. We compare the genetic composition of these descendants of Greek settlers to the local Campanians represented by individuals from the site San Marzano and Etruscan immigrants from Pontecagnano.

We integrate a thorough analysis of the associated material culture and, where available, strontium isotopes to establish temporal and cultural patterns of mobility, ancestry and admixture that shaped the genetic landscape of Campanian Magna Graecia.

The coverge for the exotic E is 25-40%
Very low
If you ask me i dont think they are real....:unsure:
There is 1 E -L618 that looks real 85% prediction
The C and the O could be huns ?
Didn't they went through italy?
:cool-v:
 
Some of those have obvious Greek and Levantine admixture, to be specific, some look like being Jewish as discussed on Anthrogenica as well.

Did you look at the Ven samples on this PCA? Where do you think the Ashkenazi samples would land?

Agamemnon is just going to have to give up his dream of being pseudo Italian.Same for Azurro hoping to be pseudo Askenazi.

How many times do people over there have to be wrong before people stop trusting them?

In Italy we say with a bit of irony "non ci siamo fatti mancare niente". I hope Angela knows how to translate it, I really don't know how to translate it.

With the Longobards and other Germanic populations, it is possible that small groups of Hun-like populations arrived. I would have to check again, their autosomal DNA doesn't seem to suggest that they are.

That would be close to a thousand years after the Etruscans, even if it were true.

The purpose of Anthrogenica is to make all of classical antiquity, particularly Ancient Greeks, associated with Jews, I guess.

Funny thing is that Jews of this time period would not even plot near Ashkenazi, because they didn't exist yet. They would plot close to the Near East.

Yes, it will be interesting, but no surprise here, as we've extensively discussed the colonization of Southern Italy, including the precise sources for those migrations.

My personal opinion has always been that the ancient Greeks of that period and the classical Era as well would probably turn out to be more like modern Southern Italians than like modern Greek people from the mainland, with the exception of the Peloponnese; in other words, more like Aegean Greeks. It paid to actually read and understand the paper on the genetics of the Peloponnese.
 
As I've said in another thread, the Italian breakdown is incomplete on G25 (only 1 Ligurian, Emilia-Romagna completely missing, 1/3 of the Corsicans seem to be to partially French, North East Italy is too much Alpine shifted...). Ph2ter is a good user but these maps reflect the problems the G25 has (and it's not the G25's fault, it's the academic samples that are released).

No wonder I come out as Corsican when I have paper trails going back to the mid 1540s and before and nary a Corsican to be found.;)

Take a Corsican and mix with some French, and you might get a Tuscan/Emilian/Ligurian.

How can Italia being spared from the migrations which even reached Britain and Germania? Or even more so Serbia:
Content:At its peak, the Roman Empire united all Mediterranean shores under the same rule and law. This, together with great improvements in long-distance communications, brought human mobility across the Mediterranean to an unprecedented scale. From all the areas which were under Roman control, the Balkans is a particularly interesting region as it was the midpoint connecting the Western and the Eastern parts of the Empire; and several peoples groups moved through the region during the Great Migration Period, such as Goths, Huns or Slavs. In this project, we have extracted and analyzed aDNA from ancient Roman and post-Roman individuals (n=69) from 3 settlements located in present-day Serbia: most importantly the capital of Moesia Superior Roman province, Viminacium. Genetic and Radiocarbon dating analyses results point to a high degree of cosmopolitism in Viminacium during the early imperial period. We observe two major groups of individuals: one with a local ancestral signature likely deriving from Balkan Bronze and Iron Age populations, and other with Near Eastern ancestral origin, suggesting strong population movements from the Eastern parts of Empire impacting not only Rome, but also other major cities like Viminacium. Moreover, we detect remarkable cases of human mobility across the Saharan and the Mediterranean, such as a young male, whose ancestral origins lie in Eastern Africa. These results highlight how dense samplings at specific sites can provide a detailed view on both individual and large-scale human mobility patterns.

We already know the locals, which descend mostly from Channelled Ware LBA-EIA people I'd say, where strongly E-V13 on the paternal side. There is also another study dealing with Greece directly:
https://eaa.klinkhamergroup.com/eaa...rachora Poster EAA congress 2021_03.08.21.pdf

Will be interesting to see whether the local Greek population had that much more Iranian-CHG related ancestry than other Copper Age genomes we know (like "Oetzi"). From the poster it looks like it did increase in EBA or at least stabilise, but no steep increase at all.

But with all those papers out, hopefully this year, things can get more fact based and the debate more detailled. Keep fingers crossed.

Can't expect even rudimentary logic from these people.
 
Looks like I missed a lot in the last two days. It's great to finally have those Etruscan genomes.

On the other hand the Y-DNA predictions look very unreliable. Half of the haplogroups listed are either extremely improbable or downright impossible if they are really from Iron Age Etruscans because they didn't exist back then. Yet some show a confidence of 100%! :rolleyes:

Highly improbable:

- C1b1-Y28069 (found mostly in Southeast Asia)
- G1-M3146 (found mostly in Afghanistan and Pakistan)
- H3 (found in South Asia)
- I1-Z60>Z140>L338>Y4015 (essentially Germanic)
- N1c1 => given 100% confidence, but it's so rare in Italy even after the Germanic and Slavic invasions that it would be highly surprising
- O1a (found mostly among Taiwan aborigines, but otherwise South China and Japan)
- O3 (found in East Asia) => very low quality Y-DNA, so surely wrong
- R1b-U106 (North European)
- R1b-L238>Z2247 (essentially Scandinavian)
- R1b-L2>Y57468 formed 2800 ybp, but TMRCA of only 350 ybp

Impossible:

- I2a2a-L801>Y14685 formed 1450 ybp, TMRCA 1450 ybp
- R1b-L21>M222>A5902 formed 1350 ybp, TMRCA 950 ybp => yet given 100% confidence
- R1b-DF27>Y31420 formed 1650 ybp, TMRCA 450 ybp


Yet I wouldn't dismiss all the Sub-Saharan African Y-DNA too quickly.

- A1b1-M13 has been found in modern Italy, but also in the Middle East and North Africa. Could have come with the Carthaginians. Ditto for the E1b1a.

If we exclude the above, we are left with :

- E1b1b-L618 (1x)
- G2a (x10, including the Neolithic PF3359 (2x) and L140>CTS342 (2x) and the Italo-Celtic L140>L497 (2x))
- I2a2a-Y3259 (1x)
- I2c1 (3x)
- J1 (1x)
- J1-P58 (x1)
- J2 (x1)
- J2a1-L26 (3x)
- J2b2 (5x)
- R1b-Z2103 (1x)
- R1b-L51 (6x)
- R1b-P312 (2x)
- R1b-U152 (x12, including 10x L2, 1x Z36)


Based on these 45 samples, it looks like the Etruscans were primarily R1b (47%), G2a (22%) and J2 (20%).

Interestingly the Latins seemed to have more R1b-Z2103 and R1b-U152>Z56, while the Etruscans are mostly R1b-L51 and R1b-U152>L2. I am starting to wonder whether the R1b-L2 outside of Italy is really Celtic or if most of it could be ultimately of Italian origin, be it Latin/Italic, Etruscan or even Cisalpine Celtic.
Nice analysis.

An observation regarding the ages:
I didn't check the results, so I don't know if the categorizations are correct. Won't discuss it. That said, the reference in YFull, in this case, would be the formation. This specific branch related to the SNP Y57468 involves over 20 equivalents in both YFull and FTDNA, but we currently don't have further info about their chronology in certain timeframe, i.e., when each mutation happened more or less. We know that the older, whatever it is, supposedly happened close to 2800 years ago, and that the newer supposedly happened close to 350 years ago. In theory, it's possible that this Y57468 itself is relatively old, even if the current TMRCA of the branch is 350 ybp. Further data could cause the splitting of (former) equivalents, which would mean new nodes and ages.
If the sample is indeed R-Y57468, we could pehaps call it a pre-R-Y57468 (based on the current configuration of the branch). But my intention is not really discuss R-Y57468 de per si. It's more about the interpretation of the infos available in YFull.
Finally, YFull also works with Confidence Intervals. For example, YFull suggests 95% of chances that the R-Y31420 started to form between 2300 and 1000 years ago.

Where did I ever say Italy was completely spared from the impact of the Barbarian invasions?

It's true, however, that Italy and Spain and even a lot of France were spared from the kind of population altering that took place in the Balkans after the arrival of the Slavs.

This is old and well established analysis and data. Do people from anthrogenica to whom you give credence throw out the use of y DNA when this topic comes up? Do you know how little y DNA I and U-106 is found in Italy? Please look it up.If you can't be bothered to look at papers, Maciamo has some maps here.

You will see that it's predominately in the north, although the percentages are still quite small.Let's add in some history to show why. The Goths were an elite invasion.That's why the Italians still ran everything and not much changed. The Lombards, according to their own historians, numbered 60,000 people including women and children and allied Germanic soldiers who returned home. The majority of their castles were where they entered, in the Veneto, and decreased more and more as they moved south.

By the time they reached the south, whose genetics in relation to ancient Greeks I was discussing, they were an extremely small in number elite. You have to have some grounding in Italian medieval history to know this. It's all reflected in the y DNA.

How could anyone compare this to what happened in Thessaly and other parts of northern Greece, and even in more accessible parts of the Peloponnese? What does the y DNA show? Are there really people who still deny that most of the I2a in the Balkans and Greece is Slavic? How about the Slavic R1a?

How about BID analysis? Have you read Ralph and Coop yet? One can't discuss this topic without referencing it.

Am I CERTAIN that migration era Greeks will resemble modern Southern Italians, on average, more than, say, Thessalians? No, I'm not, but I think it's a strong possibility

As for the paper you quoted, I don't think it's relevant. Individual merchants, travelers, etc., don't change the autosomal profile of a people; only folk migrations do that.
