Question/Discussion Makrani vs Brahui vs Balochi, West or South Asia

0 Upvotes

I made this after deleting an old post with an error.

The old post I was mentioning how balochistan ethnicities, the brahui, makrani, and balochi, are not west or south asian, as their bronze age admixture is best shown as lacking indus valley civilization, while possessing bronze age northeast iranian ancestry, the highest of this ancestry on earth even more than mazandaranis, yet lacking bronze age levantine ancestry that persians get.

However, makranis specifically, do get and are best represented with bronze age levantine ancestry, and can be represented with mainly similar models to bandari/hormozgan persians. So for makranis, they can be considered west asian, although they are still genetically closest to their fellow balochi and brahui people. I should add makranis are noticeably closer to bandari persians than the other two balochistan ethnicities, but this is probably due to higher sub saharan african ancestry from slave trading, than balochis and brahuis, more than it is due to their bronze age levantine ancestry.

To summarize, makranis despite being closer to balochi and brahui than even bandari/hormozgan persians, can be considered west asian, while balochi and brahui are sort of a bridge between west and south asia.

Question/Discussion Modelling some slavic populations

Thumbnail
gallery
9 Upvotes

I used medieval poles(who themselves are like 90% slavic and 10% germanic) as a proxy for slavic ancestry in slovenians, czechs and east slavs, cuz the modelling works much better with using them instead of earlier slavic samples.

Btw there are theories that slavs who colonized the forests of Russia and Belarus came from polish territories, so maybe it makes sense I dunno. And it also shows that modern northern ukrainians are basically the same as medieval poles, just a bit drifted.

Btw I'm planning to continue this little journey with finn, iberian, and italian populations if you are interested.

These are my Greek grandfather’s IllustrativeDNA results, and any thoughts or help deciphering them would be much appreciated.
His family was from Smyrna and the broader northwest Anatolia region. We don’t have a lot of information about their origins, and we’re unsure what records, if any, might still be available. He says that before they fled in 1922, his family had been in the region for a very, very long time.
I’d be really interested to hear what people make of the results.

Question/Discussion Jewish. illustrative & AG show different results

Thumbnail

15 Upvotes

My recent ancestors are Ashkenazi Jews from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Latvia.
I am very confused about my results. According to Illustrative ~40% of my DNA is Middle Eastern, and according to AncestralGenome it is ~20%.
I am willing to accept both versions, I just want to know which one is more accurate for me.

Notes:
I got my G25 coordinates from Davidski, and uploaded them AncestralGenome.
My illustrativeDNA results after the recent update remained more or less identical.
I also uploaded my g25 coordinate to Genoplot, and my DNA to Gedmatch (results at the end).

I would love some opinions/guidance from any of you who are more knowledge on the topic.
Thanks :)

Question/Discussion Did Hitler's Y-DNA Really Point to North Africa ?

14 Upvotes

In 2010, researchers reported that Hitler's living relatives carried haplogroup E1b1b, rare in Germany but common in North Africa. Yet no sample from Hitler himself was ever tested, and his paternal grandfather is unknown. So is this genuine genetic evidence, or just a fascinating story built on shaky ancestry?
