    Uniparental analysis of Deep Maniot Greeks reveals genetic continuity from the pre-Medieval era

    But did they have many other subclades of E1b1b in the Mycenaeans and Illyrians? I wonder if fact that ancient Greeks were primarily made up of the three lineages E1b1b, R1, and J2 is the real life origin that inspired the three big gods Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades brothers in the Greek pantheon...

    Is haplogroup D actually the Sumerians of Ancient Mesopotamia?

    The Sumerians are clearly made up of multiple ethnic groups through assimilating nearby nations, they were never a homogenous nation. I suppose J1 was a prevalent haplogroup among the Sumerians along with other haplogroups like G2, T, E1b1 at that time. But since people never tested the DNA of...

    Sons of Noah dispersal an allegory for non-steppe related CHG-pulse in the EBA?

    The Noah story predated even the Sumerians.

    Does Y-DNA influence one's looks after all?

    It definitely does, it is just not that much compared to the rest of the chromosomes a person has. I would say it particularly influences the eyes and facial expressions more, men with the same Y haplogroup tend to express the same vibe through their eyes and their behaviors, even if they have...

    Was Saladin R1a Y-DNA?

    Considering all the Sultans of the Ottoman Empire belong to haplogroup R1a, it is very likely.

    Is Enrico Fermi's haplogroup E1b1b?

    What is Fermi's Y haplogroup? He does look like an Italian E1b1b / E-V13 in many of his photos. And he looks extremely similar to Lyndon b Johnson in this photo, who is also an E-V13.

    L1(LINE-1) retroposon insertion in the centromere of the human Y chromosome?

    Why is this Gao1111 guy not banned? He is clearly not here for a civil and peaceful discussion.

    L1(LINE-1) retroposon insertion in the centromere of the human Y chromosome?

    Thanks Maciamo, though I don't know how reliable is ChatGPT as there is no academic paper supporting it, and the paper done by Oxford suggests that there are no LY1 + positive testers found in America and Africa.

    L1(LINE-1) retroposon insertion in the centromere of the human Y chromosome?

    Aren't Alu and LINE-1 two different types of repetitive elements in the human genome? I read that LINEs are usually insertions in the centromere position, while Alu will be insertion in the telomere position. And yes, as far as I know, haplogroup DE (descendants of haplogroup D and E) are the...

    L1(LINE-1) retroposon insertion in the centromere of the human Y chromosome?

    Interesting. It does look like those ones tested positive for LY1 are concentrated in East Asia, mainly in China. I just searched it up, on the old ISOGG blog it says this: "The L1 insertion (also known as LINE1) which appeared in previous versions of the tree is associated with haplogroups O3a3...

    L1(LINE-1) retroposon insertion in the centromere of the human Y chromosome?

    Hello, I just came across this very old but interesting article. It is a study done by the University of Oxford, and it demonstrates that there are certain groups of people across the world that can be tested to be "LY1 positive" with having a LINE-1 retrotransposon insertion in the centromere...
