Polska what black magic is this? You always come up with the best news. These questions I have been bugging members on forums for ages and all of a sudden, as in other instance the answer pops up in your posts.
First:
”The Genetic History of the Southern Arc: A Bridge Between West Asia & Europe”
This will likely answer the question Gurier pointed out. An interesting thing is if there will be samples from Troy .
" Iosif Lazaridis, David Reich, and Henry Shephard. Evidently Henry Shephard is “Mr Moldova”"
This is like the avengers of genetic history ensemble. = ) Moldovan sample autosomal DNA will prove a lot in this! If it is indeed there.
"Also, there is some very ancient R1b Z2103 from Dagestan rumored to be in this paper. The author works for Max Planck."
Maybe Anthony was not wrong after all?! And maybe Provyn can also be right?
This is all very exiting. They are doing peer reviewing for the 2nd month now? Sounds like its quite a substantial paper as far as novelty goes, since if it was in line with previous studies the peer review surely would have been finished by now.
Edit:
PS... Budjak also known as Bessarabia ?
For reference the house of the Draculesti (Vlad Tepes, Vlad the Impaler) was an offspring of the house of Basarab.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Basarab
This Budjak Culture started to spread around 3500BC and is considered the Balkan Carpathian variant of the Yamnaya Culture. So basically western Yamnaya. The Basarabi cluster underneath L283 Z1043 would be much younger, so some sort of back migration by a younger lineage in this case.
According to Science Magazine, an article is typically published “4 to 8 weeks after acceptance”, so it sounds like it should be close if it was submitted in September. Agree with you on the Troy samples!
