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

I am gonna do the math now.
If there was a 39% East Med/Near Eastern contribution onto Tuscany during the Antiquity and later in Late Antiquity and the Dark Ages there was 20% Northern European contribution, for modern Tuscans it would make them 27% Near Eastern, 20% Northern European and 53% Italo-Etruscan. I now believe a good chunk of E-V13 is actually of Germanic origin. But the 20% AUTOSOMAL impact still doesn't make sense to me, unless the Goths were mixed which is not the case as seen in the study itself. And the J2 in modern Tuscans is around 13% including both J2b and J2a. Some subclades of which are probably Italic. And J1 with (non E-V13) E subclades are like 4%.

Greeks are extremely easy to model, with both historical data and Y-DNA. When I used port-Bronze Age Anatolian vs Levantine in Cretans, it showed zero or very close to zero Levantine and over 30% Anatolian which makes sense by both a historical and Y-DNA data.

Using Slavic, Anatolian and Ancient Greco-Thracians for Greeks works just fine. Italy is soooo strange.


Neither the Goths nor the E-V13 have anything to do with the Germans. There is not a single classic author who to claim such nonsense about the Goths. However, the Goths are directly related to the Getae, who are Thracians. During Antiquity, the Goths were repeatedly identified with the Getae by authors who knew them. We know for sure that they inhabited the Balkans from the 2nd to the 9th century. Maximin the Thracian was born in the 2nd century, and his father is said to be a Goth, on the other hand, Valafrid Strabo testified about the use of the Gothic language in Dobrogea in the 9th century. If the Goths (Getae) of Urfila (Wulfila) spoke German, then for such a long period - 700 years, the Balkans must have been dotted with five to ten thousand German names of rivers, settlements, places.
There are none, I repeat NONE.
 
Early Medieval Tuscans plot with Marche Italians based on my eye and late antiquity Tuscans plot with Abruzzes. Pretty much 8% Germanic impact which is not far off the Y-DNA that Maciamo gave. K12b misses many samples (both ancient and modern) can't use that calculator. Sorry.

The fit is very tight.

To everyone: I'm completely out of juice. Sorry. I'll have to just post my agreement, or disagreement, although I don't really disagree with anyone so far.

So, ihype, other than calling Italy strange, I agree with all of this. :)
 
Figure S3 in the Supplementary Material compares C.Italy_Etruscan; C.Italy_Etruscan.Ceu (more north-shifted); C.Italy_Etruscan.Afr (Outliers shifted towards North Africa); C.Italy_Imperial (Roman period); C.Italy_Early.Medieval with 2 very similar modern Tuscan series...TSI.SG and Tuscan.DG.

There are 5 distal sources...Anatolia Neolithic, Russia Yamnaya, Morocco EN, WHG and Iran Neolithic.

We need to account for over 20pc Iran Neolithic in modern Tuscans not found in the main C.Italy.Etruscan group.

20% is inflated. Replicating the model with any available tool, a value of 20% Iran_N never comes out to modern Tuscans.

Since there is a cline in Italy, you can apply that model to all Italians following the cline. Increase Near Eastern and decrease Northern European the further south you go, and do the opposite when you go north.

Of course, it is simply a model. Even if it were true, the Tuscans would remain at least half Italian-Etruscan.




Iran_N is more in modern Tuscans than in Imperial Age Romans. Something is not working.

Indeed, there's something wrong with their model.

I meant "strange" to model them genetically, it's hard to comprehend what is happening genetically.
I should've used a better word.

This is precisely my problem. Why didn't they try to model using later Anatolian sources, or IA Aegean, or Greek Empuries? It makes no sense to me. It's like genetic malpractice. Was Krause sleeping throughout this process?

so is Otzi connected with this G2a ?...................he is stated as connected with G2a from Dalmatia in the recent croatian paper of august 2021

there might be only a trade link of etruscans with tyrolese?

I imagine like the Balkan_IA, you could say the Italian version would be C.Italian_IA + Aegean_IA.

The issue with that is, that if rumors are true, and Aegean IA turns out Marathon like... Then that pretty much creates an equivalence of Etrsucan + East Med/Levant to C.Italian_IA + Aegean_IA. So beware that that model, might not mean what you might expect, and could turn this papers methodology equivalent to Danubian limes methodology.

That would be unfortunate.

Since there is a cline in Italy, you can apply that model to all Italians following the cline. Increase Near Eastern and decrease Northern European the further south you go, and do the opposite when you go north.

Of course, it is simply a model. Even if it were true, the Tuscans would remain at least half Italian-Etruscan.

The East-Med pull seem to be essentially Middle Eastern and Northern African influenced not Greek (expect in Calabria and Sicily). There is a reason why Abruzzes plot really close to other southern Italians without having any Greek colony.

Also the ratio of distance of Tuscans to Etruscans seem to be pretty much similar to the ratio of Daunians and Apulians in PCA.

Abruzzo has been part of Kingdom of Naples for many centuries, it is obvious that it has become part of the southern Italian cluster. A Middle Eastern influence was certainly there in Greece and the Balkans as well. Many ancient Greeks, when their results will be published, will go in the most disparate directions. A potential North African influence moves most of the Italians out of their cluster, can't have contributed much.

It can be, but in Italy there were not only Etruscans and Daunians. We need the genome of at least another twenty ancient peoples.


Indeed, there's something wrong with their model.

Most definitely.

This is precisely my problem. Why didn't they try to model using later Anatolian sources, or IA Aegean, or Greek Empuries? It makes no sense to me. It's like genetic malpractice. Was Krause sleeping throughout this process?

From Krause, what can we expect? Not much, I'm afraid.

The narrative has changed. The Etruscans from Middle Eastern migrants have become completely European, even more European than Italians, and now the new game of the geneticists are the imperial migrations. :LOL:

Yeah but the point I was trying to make is that this ancestry hit a good part of Italy the same. As you mentioned Italy is genetically cline. If it was essentially Greek we would see a massive genetic break, like there is between Croats and modern Northern Italians.

There is an official PCA with Daunians, they plot west of Tuscans in the same way Etruscans plot west of Northern Italians.
I think other Southern Italians will be similar to Daunians and Messapians in particular a bit more shifted towards BUL_IA.
