I wonder how they define left wing... so many different political issues... and single issue voters. But still I think defining left-wing and right-wing is highly error prone, for most issues the left in the US would be centrist in Western Europe. Does this mean that a European centrist gains a...

I thought your point was that Lazaridis somehow backtracked on the Anatolia/Levant Neolithic present in Yamnaya or something similar between the two papers. I just meant to clarify that that was not even Lazaridis main point, but either way that component is still part of the core package that...

Can you link the Nalchik paper?

Did you read the supplement? You might find your answer there. IIRC the Aknashen admixture had a bunch of CHG_N, and some Anatolia_N and Levant_N . Might wanna double check, I was not paying attention to this component when reading it.

How do you guys interpret this? Is this guy trustworthy?

To be fair I do not see any evidence of extinction of the Early Yamnaya, at least in Albania. We see continuity of PF7563, Z2103 and L283 from the BA to today. I also do not see Albania in the Aegean sphere, if anything the very movement into the Aegean Sphere came from the north, be them Logkas...

Luckily they did model it in a note: But yeah this Aknashen population seems fascinating.

The thing is they are differentiating the CHG related ancestry. The CHG that far north was quite ancient source wise from HG themselves, so the Progress profile was quite common from the Volga group all the way to the Dnieper group, spanning the whole cline already by this point. The CHG that...

Quite a lot to digest and warp ones head around. Edit: That was from the supplement where they go more in deatil. This below is from the paper itself. David Anthony vindicated or what? TLDR: Also gotta love that Kotias Klde is directly referenced as to how long unadmixed Caucasian HG were...

Wait, Nalchik? This same Nalchik? The green dot is the L283 fully Caucasian sample BTW. Although same location it seems the older Nalchik graves have not been excavated for aDNA. From the supplements of The Genetic Origin of Indo-Europeans: Now from this other source: The Eneolithic...

@Olympus Mons Do we know where the painting of the deceased in red ochre stems from? From Progress 2: https://plos.figshare.com/articles/figure/Eneolithic_burial_Progress_2_Grave_37_i_in_situ_i_/13091228 From the L283 Yamnaya sample: Edit: It seems to have been mainstream in Yamnaya...

This foreshadowing from Patterson, a co-author two years ago: Quite a big paper indeed.

Could you please provide a source, this is quite interesting.

Given that we find quite a lot of J2a branches from the CHG ancestral components to the CLV, and that we find L283 in the descendant components of CLV (Phase 3: Core Yamnaya). While we find both fully Progress-like J2a and J2b in the Caucasian HG in Kotias Kilde 10kbp, I think its a good bet to...
