Reblogged this on Norah4you's Weblog and commented:
Thanks to Genetiker who allows me to reblogg this very interesting results re Phenotype SNPs from the ancient Near East.
I am intrigued by the results presented in the blogg because it seem to be in “correspondence” with some ancient tales of travelling over long distances as well as with artifacts found along the tales’ waterways. It’s more than interesting.
Yeah, they had “light skin” like modern MENA people with those genes do..
I doubt this paints the whole picture at all. There has to be more unknown genes, whether more lightening genes or darkening genes.
Also, copper age Armenians more light eyed than Yamnaya, when copper age Armenians were basically a mix of dark CHG and dark Yamnaya. It just doesn’t make sense. Add in that most of these ancient samples are low coverage SNP wise, this kind of stuff should be taken with a grain of salt.
On second thought, most of this seems to make sense. Relooking at the recent study that released these genomes, all of the samples that are shown with light features here were shown with significant European admixture, especially copper age Armenians and Iranians. I also misread Levant Bronze Age as neolithic Levant, so there are no neolithic Levantines or Nafutians with blue eyes(also no Nafutians with light skin, despite no SSA admixture).
The only weird one here is the lone red haired neolithic Levantine, but based on everything else we know it likely still comes from whatever Euro admixture he may have had. If he had none it’d be a different story, but the neolithic Levant clustered inbetween Anatolian farmers(who had significant Euro) and Nafutians, so he should’ve had some.
CA Armenians being lighter than Yamnaya is still weird as well, but there’s a lot more Yamnaya samples to compare.
