The map with the points colored by primary admixture component should make it pretty clear which populations the different admixture components correspond to. Finding which groups in the table have the largest amount of a component also helps. The blue-gray component in the K = 16 analysis...

I missed that MC337A was male back when I analyzed the Portuguese samples. It isn’t R1b-M269. It’s H2a1~FGC3846. I’ve added a link to its calls on my post on the Portuguese samples.

Paleo-Eskimo genetic legacy across North America The Na-Dene were partially descended from the Paleo-Eskimos, and partially from the ancestors of the Amerindians, who spread down the Pacific coasts of North and South America around 15,000 years ago. The above paper estimates that ancient...

The title of the paper, and consequently the title of this thread, is wrong. The samples, dated to 11,500 years ago, are from the early Holocene, not the late Pleistocene. The Holocene began 11,700 years ago. Another paper by Willerslev, on the Anzick 1 genome, similarly had a false title and...

I was the first person to analyze the Ramesses III data with the NevGen haplogroup predictor, in my post here from almost two months ago. I've had many hits from Brazil on my blog over the past week. You probably saw what I did and thought you'd come here and take credit for my discovery. You...

Yes, V88 probably originated in the Balkans. P297, M269, and M73 had to have originated east of the Balkans, or they would appear in early farmer samples. The absence of P297 in the Mesolithic and Neolithic Ukrainian samples, the M73 in the Samara and Latvian hunter-gatherers, and the M269 in...

Your comments indicate that you didn't read the thread. The ancient DNA evidence is showing that both R1b-V88 and R1b-P297 arose from R1b-L754 in Europe during the Paleolithic, around 17,000 years ago, somewhere in the area from Italy to Ukraine that was occupied by the Epigravettian culture...

To answer my own question, the NW African megaliths appear to be from the Neolithic, not the Bronze Age. This page on the Mzora stone circle in Morocco, which is the largest stone ellipse in the world, states: And this page says that the dolmens at Eles, Tunisia, are thought to be from around...
