It's very possible that Celts of any sort have been expelled by the Roman state later but I doubt they have'nt left some remnants in the N-Italy genomic pole, even if this contrbution has been strongly lightened. And I doubt there have not been some slight introgressions later of other central...

That said, the flashing reds left aside, it remains in a pop other seriously reddish hues that can push the % from 1%-1,5% to 4%-5%... in the same pop.

Melkiirs [ Weak 'r' variants are naturally not included as they are actually negatively correlated with red hair due to lowering chances of carrying multiple R varaints compared to the general population. ] Here I don't understand very well. Maybe I'm wrong but I thought the 'r' variant marked...

I don't disagree with some of your arguments, but I think: - Our modern pop's are not only the fruit of ancient bottelneckings, they are also the result of more than a crossing between the ancient pop's you refer to. It's evident than crossings create new pop's "halfway" to the original more...

I regreat some people put so much value into the economic utility of immigrants. I think every refugee deserves being accepted (respective of the quotas in some way, it's dangerous to climb all in the same rescue canot!!!). Thieving the brains of underdevelopped countries is not the solution for...

I agree with you that Y-R1a-Z93 came from Steppes into Southern Asia. But I cannot exclude Scythians and cousins as bearers of this haplo. BTW we have to trace Z93 route in Central Asia and to find the oldest remnents of it between Central-East Europe and Central Asia. It seems to me that it has...

Please keep all this rubbish terminology of "racist" or "colonialist" away when you speak of more or less recent historic or genetic works. All the scientists were/are not Nazies, and one can be mistaken without being influenced by extra-scientific thoughts! And I don't see why/how the fact of...

"metrics"? I suppose you speak of their auDNA? The calculations about their auDNA has been made based upon ancient pops without looking at the modern distribution of their diverses components. I find at the contrary that there was a strong enough difference between the makings of the DNA of the...

In my mind, "Indo-Iranian" is a previous, very more ancient stage of language. Persian is just "Iranian", a drifted and evolved "son" language. Perhaps ma I wrong?

I'm tempted to think these people you see South the Caucasus in 4400 BC were only PIA and not PIE. At least it is one the hypothesis exposed in the paper.

A cline is just a cline. Which s important is knowing how it formed, how quickly or slowly, and with what kind of sexe balances: it may have some weight concerning languages transmission. Here Y haplo's have some weight too. ATW this cline formed on the Steppes, not south the Caucasus. We cannot...

Radical Islam is a mental prison. And I don't think sexuality and capitalism questions had never been resolved by the most of the monotheist religions at all, among them Islam. And the ability to fight his proper brethren in religion whatever the seriousness of the reasons doesn't miss among...

diverse 'east-asians' are just the more evolved and drifted (and some way crossed) followers of some of the 'east eurasians'. The same for others late pop's compared to their ancestral pop's. East-Asians as others are not born in a night. Some of their traits were born before the supposed "date...

The 'promise land' and the 'eternal Russian lands' have kind of a similar taste to me. The accomplished fact as a rule? That said, yes, none of the Palestinians and Sionists sides has to be chosen, but who is playing the above mentioned game todate? Is there some referee on the ground?

interesting point here.

Otherwise I agree we don't know too much about the so called ANE 's look. the first core of this pop surely had a lot of archaic traits, and after dispersion and crossings with others it's very risky to propose a definite type of them. The pop's rich of this component lived at first in a region...

I doubt the epicanthic fold was found in very ancient pop of the planet. BTW this McDougall (father: Scot, mother: American) doesn't show as much east-asian-like input as the Irish actor (who shows very little). He has not the very same eyelids and as a whole shows typical HGlike input, for me...

Tempted to agree with you.

These (selected) geographical groups of auDNA ar based on modern pops, I think. When we compare the distrbutions in Great Europe and Near-East, we see a very unequal ratio of 'gedrosia'/caucasus'. The supposed steppic part of north-western (and Basques) seem very more 'gedrosia' than 'caucasus'...
