    Celtiberian hillforts / Castros celtiberos.

    I don't agree here. Every people or culture has had its times of agressivity and warfare, at least at some level. I would say that the care of environment has never been the first concern of mighty men in History. At the contrary, ancient civilisations and "successful" culture has proved very...

    Phylogenetic analysis of the enigmatic Kalash population in Pakistan

    I've had some difficulty to understand their inrerpopulations distances statements. Concerning Y-haplo's, I think we cannot rely on their current distribution to establish their links to other pop's because geographic isolation and small number favour drift. &: I'm tired of these pics of light...

    Celtiberian hillforts / Castros celtiberos.

    I don't rely too much on statues or pictures of ancient times, personally. That said, it's evident today Spanyards have an heavy heritage of ancient Iberians, I think nobody challenges this thought.

    Genetic study Punic people were genetically diverse with almost no Levantine ancestors

    It's a bit out f topic but I find amazing these labellings, here above: - Ligurians were IE speaking, even if they were (maybe: we lack Ligurian anDNA!) rather a Neolitthic pop acccultured by IE newcomers. Ligurians misqualification recalls me the Picts question. - IE only around 1000BC? look at...

    You take the lineages branches which sustain your proper narrative, as they were brand new pop’s or ethnies born of nobody and from nowhere. BoNe : If tomorrow 500 L151* were found in Extremadura dated between 3000–2500 BC, it would literally not matter one bit. It would change absolutely...

    Are We Misreading Ancient DNA? Unusually Large Shared Segments May Indicate Compressed Chronology

    I think I've reached here my limits of competence! That said, what about carbon datations? Errors of layers in tombs? or somethings like that?

    Celtiberian hillforts / Castros celtiberos.

    I think you project your theory on facts rather that the contrary. I cannoy be affirmative but you seem more affirmative than me. Lusitanian older than Celtic? What allow you to say that? The little we think we now is it showed links and with Celtic and with Italic (a bit like Ligurian even if...

    Are We Misreading Ancient DNA? Unusually Large Shared Segments May Indicate Compressed Chronology

    As an amateur and if I understand well, I think the principal source of shortening of the segments is the repetitions of crossing over, linked to time. So a strict endogamy can slowen the fragmentation only if at first the population practizing it was rather homozygotic for a big number of...

    This map is without scientific value, except (partially) for modern cultural remnants (not so strong in Iberia, IMO).The maximum expansion zone of western celtic historical data is a joke.

    Celtiberian hillforts / Castros celtiberos.

    I think easily enough that y-R1b-L27 was one of the BB's elements, but I don't know how to be sure the first ones in Iberia spoke a Celtic dialect. I doubt Celtic proper was already born around 2500 BC. A question: when you say Z195* an ZZ12* date back to 2650 BCE, are you basing yourself on...

    You way of reading astonish me sometimes. I cite here under the paper you cited yourself: [... Junto con los 66 individuos de cronologías más antiguas secuenciados hasta la fecha en la Celtiberia, es posible llevar a cabo una primera aproximación a la ascendencia de los celtíberos. Los datos...

    Celtiberian hillforts / Castros celtiberos.

    I wonder if the naming 'Celtibèrian' qualifies a people born by the mixing of Celts and Iberians or rather Celts living in what became Iberia? Have we sufficient auDNA of the so called Celtiberians? I have not.

    Genetic study Urbanization and genetic homogenization in the medieval Low Countries revealed through a ten-century paleogenomic study of the city of Sint-Truiden

    Very interesting. The auDNA making isn't too precise but if we rely on it, we may think the Germanics input in Flanders is stayed light enough. I see nevertheless differences between West Vlanderen and Belgium Limburg. At Early Middle Ages we see a noticeable input of their 'germanics'...
