Y-SNP calls from Ice Age Europe

In the table below are links to Y-SNP calls for samples from Ice Age Europe.

Y haplogroups for more Ice Age European samples can be found in the table here. These results show that many of my beliefs about European genetic history were wrong. I thought that the Aurignacians belonged to Y haplogroup I, but the one Aurignacian sample was C1a2. I thought that the Gravettians belonged to R1, but four Gravettian samples were C1, I, IJ*, and C1a2. I thought that the Magdalenians were R1b, but two Magdalenian samples were I. These results also imply that my beliefs about Indo-European origins were wrong. I apologize for attacking others over their positions on these subjects.

    Reblogged this on Norah4you's Weblog and commented:
    Take a look at the full table you will find when you press “calls”
    This is interesting and worth thinking more than twice. Things might not have gone as some have thought. Some = Historians, Geologists and Archaeologists.

    So, you were right all along about R1b in Europe?

    Autosomal admixture and phenotype SNPs please!

      No, I wasn’t. See the comments I added above.

      I will.

        Regardless, Villabruna was Epigravettian and was R1b1a. Even if modern European R1b came from the steppe, who’s to say steppe R1b didn’t come from the Epigravettian culture, given Samara HG was a mix of WHG and ANE? Perhaps you didn’t get the exact specifics, but R1b1a is still there, in Western Europe, thousands of years before any Indo-European migrations. From the paper it seems Villabruna was a pure WHG and clusters with Loshbour/La Brana/etc, who didn’t have any exotic autosomal ancestry.

    hey. you are not going to comisurate are you?.
    Everybody is up to a point wrong when it comes to these Dna infering from an hand full of examples to extrapolate over several hundred thousand scatter over thousand of miles.
    So,,, get back on the saddle and move on.

    • Genetiker says:

      you are not going to comisurate are you?

      Not at all. It always feels good to correct errors in one’s thinking and move closer to the truth.

    Keep up the work, you have your admirers. !

    All true.

    Thanks for these, and well said.
