Although Jovialis has already done a ton of work, I often wonder why he uses certain reference populations in the models. So with this model we have:
(1) Yamnaya --
(2) Sintashta -- the actual group never entered West Europe -- and yet Northern Italian, French, Spaniards, British Isles, Germans, Scandinavians all score significant Sintasha --> what does this variable capture?
(3) Catacomb -- this seemed significant in earlier versions of the model, now it has plummeted, save for Macedonia, Albania, a sliver of Montenegro, Sicily, Molise, Friuli
(4) Corded Ware -- major component in Slavs and Balts, minor component in Germans
(5) Halberstadt -- is this supposed to represent Neolithic Central Europe? Minoan + WHG + xxx? I go cross-eyed trying to tell some of these shades of green apart!
(6) Hallstatt -- major Celtic center
(7) Hungary - 1180 BC ---> What is the significance of this population? How does it differ from Hallstatt?
(8) Nordic Bronze Age -- I assume this is proto-Germanic -- but why is it so significant in Ireland? Is this reflecting shared mtDNA ancestry?
(9) Central Italian Chalcolithic -- this looks pan European, except Southern Italy and Greece -- it's highest in Spain, but even registers on the Steppe ---> what is the component in fact representing?
(10) Neolithic Italian -- seems to be a Western Mediterranean variable, highest in Sardinia, Corsica, Spain, Liguria
(11) Remedello -- I assume this is pre-Neolithic WHG -- highest in Basques, then Spain, but also Ireland, western France, Britain
(12) Minoan -- this is basically Anatolian Neolithic *unmixed* with WHG? -- major component in most of Italy & Balkans, but not Western Europe
(13) Anatolian Bronze Age -- more CHG than Minoan? -- it's basically an Aegean marker -- very high in Southern Italy and Sephardics
(14) Iberomaurusian
(15) Bolshoy-Ostrov -- presumably EHG
