Yes for the Yamna studied in Haak 2015 (I have already said they were close), but are you sure with the previous Yamna samples (the ones with dark features) ? Because I guess these two Yamna peoples can be (relatively) different; for the Corded Ware, like Angela have said, they are close but...

Autosomal, they are close to 50% of actual North Europeans, sorry but that mean alot, Mordovian have very light features, Europeans features and are the first, the second closer is in fact lezgins but share the second place with Russians, the others are baltics, Norwegians and Icelandic, that...

Yes and no, Mtdna don't give you too much info about a population, Corder Ware culture and WHG have the same mtdna, but different haplogroup Y, Andronovo have the haplogroup R1A; Yamna R1b, the Yamna population tested for their dark or light features (samples from the 2014 study), we don't have...

@Alan Yes and no, I think Yamna skin/eyes and hairs colors is still far more important than the west asians peoples you have cited (in general), but agree that would make them closer to the South Europeans, also these Yamna (a very vast place) I guess there were not from all the same...

Very interesting Tomenable, thank you very much; and the woman is really beautiful;

Yes of course !!!!

How do you explain the difference with peoples from Andronovo culture (blond, blue eyed, fair skins) if they were "similar" ? Because the "difference" between R1A vs R1b ? How to explain the evolution from tan skinned to very light skinned for indo-Europeans, specially with the paper of Caufield...

If I remember correctly, It seem that the report about the neolithic/bronze age samples tested has a problem, we still don't know their Y haplogroup (correct me if I'm wrong); in fact they could have been "siberians" (with a kurgan culture), mixed with them or with the Neolithic farmer; lot of...

For Roberto and Tomenable According the website nature (sorry I can't post the link), the main haplgroup Y of Khanty and Mansi peoples are R1A1 followed by N2 and N3, that represent 96% and 84% of their haplogroup, that explain easily why in some rare case, they have light hairs and eyes (imo...

There are lot of Tarim mummies with light hairs (blond, redhead, light brown) for example Cherchen man, the Uruqmi woman, the Loulan beauty, the Hami mummy etc...lot of pictures around the net can be found with lot of Tarim mummies with light or blond hairs. And no, there are not just...

I'm sorry to ask that...but who are these "blond hair people" ? I'm curious because I don't remember to have seen, before the IE invasions (or migration), the presence of blond hairs in Europe; if I remember correctly, Mesolithic and Neolithic europeans were dark haired and brown skinned. The...

The Hunters and Gatherers were not "dark skin and light eyes", cro-magnons were all brown eyes and dark skins, if I don't do mistake, there are just one example, it's Labrana, and he has just 50% chance to have light eyes, he could have been also brown eyed. In my opinion, the presence of light...

Thank you very much Lebrock and Maciamo for your welcomes. Thank you very much for the explanation, I'm extremely novice about everything around the genetics, I was more concentrated about the historical aspect about the presence of the light eyes, but it's very interesting; I was not really...

Hello, I'm new here, I really like the Eupedia website and all the Maciamo works; I'm not fluent in english, so sorry if in my messages I do mistakes. About the subject, for Indians peoples with light eyes, that have already proven and explained of the IE invaders/migration, so I don't...
