Turkey Boncuklu (10000 and 8500 BC) and Tepecik Ciftlik (7500 BC) are the "first" farmers and predate Barcin (6500 BC). The reason they have Iranian Farmer ancestry is because it was the latter that taught them how to farm, that's how they got their J haplogroups also (oldest Js originate in...

That terrible PCA you post shows modern Northern Greeks and Albanians being close, not ancient BA or IA. IA Bulgaria, if we assume that is a Thracian, who had control of Northern Greece of that time (excluding Ionic areas), prior to the Macedonian Kingdom expansion, is close to Myceneans, not...

Where is the Doric speaker sample that shows that they are genetically different to Ionic speakers? In your head maybe?

Myceneans and Minoans have Iranian_N related (Ganj-Dareh here as a proxy) admixture, as it's very easily produced and verifiable in a 3-way qpAdm run. The language of the "proto-Greeks" (lol) is not proven to have come from the north, it's one of the two plausible pathways. qpAdm Minoan 2-way...

These "models" and "distance rules" are pure sophistry and comical as the poster above said. Only qpAdm can produce valid results and even that has its shortcomings.

Successful qpAdm models for Myceneans and Minoans (with std. errors below 5%, which is usually the threshold for the published papers). Myceneans= 82.4% Minoans + 12.5% Catacomb + 5% Iran_Ganj_Dareh_N. Minoans= 91.1% Peloponnese_N + 8.9% Iran_Ganj_Dareh_N.

There's 17 E1b (2.2%) and 46 R1b (6.1%) in the FTDNA project, make of it what you will.

Lazes and Greeks lived together and had children for 3000 years, you dork, you think it's offensive to Pontics to be called Lazes? Like I said, ignoramus, but I understand, if I was from the West Balkans, I'd also have a complex.

There's nothing "lucky" about that because ancient Greeks were an Anatolian derived civilization and Ionic Greeks were actually based in Anatolia + Athens. So the only people trying to separate them from Asia Minor, or Anatolia if you like, are ignoramuses spin doctors like you and your ilk.

Your model fails qpAdm (100%-400% std. errors), even if I just use Logkas and BGR_IA without the Russian reference (20% std. errors). It goes to show that you can mix and match whatever you want in that smartPCA and get the result you want. Check my right pops, if you think I am failing it on...

When you attack an ethnic group like Pontic Greeks that have nothing to do with you or your ilk, you should be ready to defend your nonsense, or risk getting exposed like you just have. You're welcome.

The run with the Armenian sample in the Reich dataset has a big standard-error, so it's not a very good result, I told you in my original post. The Armenians have too much Steppe to transform into Pontic Greeks all of the sudden. Where did all that Steppe admixture go? And where did all that...

Dude, all Southern Caucasians have overlapping genetic components just like you Balkanites do, and the reason being is that they all essentially derive ancestries from Kura-Araxes, Maikop and other groups in the area. I told you Pontics are Myceneans + local Colchis, do you know who ancient...

No need to get mad, bro. You can recreate all these runs down to the last decimal by using the open source qpAdm tools that are available freely to everyone, and use the Reich dataset. Instead, you'd rather refer to the closed source "calculator" by some random blogger, who apparently is more...

Sour grapes, friend. Why would an Albanian poster be so sour about Pontic Greeks being related to ancient Greeks, what would be the repercussion for the West Balkans, anyways, Pontics are Ionics + Colchians by historical sources and they speak Ionic Greek, they have nothing to do with Albanians...

Ah, ok, thanks for clarifying, eurogenes says Pontics are Laz and Armenians, so it must be true, you should inform the Cambridge seat of Linguistics, also, so they don't waste their time using the Pontic dialects spoken today in Greece and Turkey to reconstruct Homeric Greek and their...

I post qpAdm pass run, you post your ringleader's "coordinates" and closed project "calculator" results. IDC if you believe me or not, not my problem. Maikop is perfectly fine to model native, non Steppe, Caucasus ancestry for that period and within range for Minoan and Mycenean sample age...

No, sorry, you can see Armenians fail the exact same run (see prob. tail), as qpAdm is very sensitive and is not like your blogger smartPCA "eurogenes calculator" where you mish-mash whatever you want and you get a little bit of everything as a result. Laz speakers also have ancestry from...

Sorry to interrupt your discussion, I will write this and go. 1) Dienekes is Lazaridis. 2) Pontic Greeks can be modelled as having quantifiable Mycenean ancestry as you can see in the following qpAdm run, probably not as much as Peloponnesian Greeks or others, but still significantly present...
