The outgroups and left groups work for all Italians and create a cline between Italy_BA.SG and Greece_Crete_HgCharalambos_EMBA.AG. Although this model is mostly historically plausible only for southern regions (particularly Apulia), I think it hints at something broader. library(admixtools)...

Only ITS5 had a sub-optimal p-vaule, but the other metrics looked good. Here are modern Italian populations using C_Italian_N and C_Italian_ChL, along with Steppe_EMBA, and Iran_N_CHG. Since TSI and the North can be modeled with WHG, it works with the ChL central Italian sample since there was...

We had the debate about the East Mediterranean and Germanic influence in Italy numerous times, but I think that new study will add new fuel to the ongoing debate and change some perspectives. At this point its just an abstract, but a quite informative one: What the abstract is suggesting is...

A great advantage of being a native speaker of a Romance language is that the gender (masculine or feminine) is the same in over 99% of cases in other Romance languages, which makes learning them much easier than for speakers of non-Romance languages (and English, which is half-Romance but lost...
