During the Neolithic period, communities of people from Anatolia started to settle in Europe, advancing slowly until they occupied the majority of the European territory. They had a distinct genetic profile when compared to the WHG that lived in Europe before their arrival. This applies both to the autosomes (basically their whole genome) as well as their uniparental markers (the Y Chromosome for the paternal ones and the Mitochondrial DNA for the maternal ones). The most prevalent paternal lineages were the ones under the G2a branch. WHG, on the other hand, had most of their paternal lineages under the I2a branch. Minor paternal lineages in both populations didn’t overlap either, at least initially. However, slowly along the 4000 years between ~7000 BC and ~3000 BC, the farming communities admixed occasionally with the hunter-gatherers, which resulted in acquiring genome-wide signatures of WHG (very low in the Balkans, but increasing towards central, northern and western Europe, to around 25%) as well as uniparental markers. Interestingly, the WHG paternal lineage I2a once it entered the farmer’s gene pool, it rose in frequency to the point that by the end of the Neolithic it had become the most common one among farmers, relegating their original G2a to a second place. This pattern usually points to some sort of selection, though in this case the reason is unclear (and for the purposes of this post, irrelevant anyway).
"7000 BC" = 2442 BC, "3000 BC" = 1769 BC?*
- 2456 BC
- Shem died
- 2442 BC
- 57.683 pmC, dated as 6990 BC
- 1779 BC
- 85.963 pmC, dated as 3029 BC
- 1759 BC
- 86.359 pmC, dated as 2971 BC
(1779 + 1759) / 2 = 1769 BC
(85.963 + 86.359) / 2 = 86.161 pmC
5730 * log(0.86161) / log(0.5) + 1769 = 3000
Yes!
To give a summary of the idea, Alberto argues that Iberian and Basque are the same and that this is the language that the Yamnaya migrants brought.
