    MyTrueAncestry MyTrueAncestry - closest modern countries to ancient ethnicities

    These are my new results after not updating for awhile until now: The Carthaginian seems more accurate to model my admixture than Guanche because it contains more Levantine DNA but I noticed that MyTrueAncestry likes to give me a lot of Anatolian populations as my genetic matches, which I...

    E-m123*

    I was browsing Yfull and apparently the sample has been uploaded there under E-Z841 (Extra details in the pics attached), confirming that it's under E-M123->E-M34 and not some other parallel branch. FTDNA confirms the same thing, which makes this the first E-Z841 sample to be found in the West...

    When Y-DNA E replaced Y-DNA A and Y-DNA B in Africa?

    Based off the current samples we have from sub-Saharan Africa, it appears that haplogroup E arrived there during the Neolithic, either from North Africa or Southwest Asia, as a part of some type of Ancestral North African-Basal Eurasian cline/population that is not well understood yet. However...

    E-m84

    I understand, thank you for confirming its presence.

    E-m84

    Really? Then this just continues to prove that E-V22 is just as Semitic as E-M123 is. If I remember correctly, it is the second largest branch of E1b1b after E-M123 among Jewish men.

    E-m84

    I will say that there have been confirmed DNA tested ancient remains from the Northern Hejaz region of Saudi Arabia from the Nabataean Civilization. They are mostly similar to modern Levantines in both admixture and haplogroup dispersal according to the leaked research paper, but I will wait...

    E-m84

    A friend on Twitter/X who is an insider in Arab genetic discussions told me that most of these are fake and are not accurate because they were not peer-reviewed yet and are just being rushed to the public. Even by just looking at they don't make any sense. How did J1 and J2 appear in Early...

    Greek Jewish Y-DNA

    The Sea People were the Philistines that came from Bronze Age Greece/Western Anatolia. They didn't have any E-V13 among their samples so it is impossible to be mediated from them. E-V13 among Levantine Arabs is very likely from mixing with Byzantine Anatolians, who get their E-V13 from either...

    New distribution map of haplogroup E-M123

    Nice. I wonder if the G25 coordinates have been processed by someone so we can see who are the closest populations and if the sample is an outlier given it has a very Semitic haplogroup but is from Frankish period France. Also, wasn't there an E-M123 sample also from France but from the Bronze...

    Reconstructing past human genetic variation with ancient DNA.

    I guess E-V1515 represents the Kemetic branch of the Afro-Asiatic family and E-PF1962 represents the Semitic branch. But how come I have never heard of this branch before? I wonder which country has the highest percentage % of E-V1515? Aside from that, since the Nuerat sample is downstream of...

    Genetic study Ancient DNA from the Green Sahara reveals ancestral North African lineage

    Interesting. If I am reading this correctly, it seems that Lazaridis was wrong about Natufians deriving from Taforalt as the graph shows that no North African or sub-Saharan African admixture entered them and confirms that Natufians are 100% Eurasian.

    Famous E1b1b members

    I don't know if this has been posted before, so apologies if this is a repost, but the Jumblatt Family, the head of the Lebanese Druze, are E-V13.

    Reconstructing past human genetic variation with ancient DNA.

    I'm a bit confused, is the sample from Nuerat under E-M123/E-M34 or this new branch E-V1515? Or is it still assigned to E-Z830, and if so, is it E-Z830*, meaning negative for the downstream subclades?

    E-m123*

    There is this guy on Molgen forum named Farroukh and he mentioned that there is a Russian noble family of Varangian origin known as House of Islenev and they are apparently E-M123 though I forgot the specific branch. So another possibility could be Scandinavian, as there is also a sample from...

    12,000-year-old spindle whorls and the innovation of wheeled rotational technologies

    Well where is the proof that they used a spinning instrument? I am pretty sure you can spin flax with just your hands although it may be more labour-intensive.
