Genetic distance to Globular Amphora (c. 3400–2800 BC)

The Globular Amphora culture (GAC) was a Chalcolithic culture of Central Europe, centered around modern-day Eastern Germany, Poland, and Western Ukraine. They succeeded the earlier Funnelbeaker culture in the region.

The people of this culture belonged to the Early European Farmer (EEF) genetic cluster, which is defined as a mix of Anatolian Neolithic Farmers (ANF) and Western European Hunter-Gatherers (WHG). Although, unlike most EEF groups, they also show a small signal from Eastern Hunter Gatherers (EHG). This is because local Mesolithic HG’s of Germany and Poland had slight EHG admixture.

Males of the GAC belonged to Y-haplogroup I2a, which was originally a WHG lineage. WHG lineages took predominance over ANF lineages among Northern and Western EEFs during the Late Neolithic.

The GAC was eventually replaced by the Corded Ware culture (CWC), which stemmed from a massive westward migration of WSHs. GAC represents the main source of EEF admixture among the CWC.

Made a correction to the post. The EHG signal likely came from local Central European HG’s

I should note - the map also includes the roughly 30% WHG ancestry that EHGs had

Made some major improvements to my old ”Crown Eurasian” experimental calculator:

For those wondering, Crown Eurasian refers to non-Basal West and North Eurasians.

Revised the East Asia portion. It now differentiates between ANEA (Northern East Asian) and ASEA (Southeast Asian). Also added better proxies for the Australoid and Oceanian components

Relatively high distances, possibly the result of the sample being lower coverage.

Genetic distance to the Early Medieval Baiuvarii 🗡️🇩🇪

The Baiuvarii were a Germanic people who settled in the regions of modern day Bavaria and Austria. They are likely to have spoken an early version of the Austro-Bavarian dialect of the Upper German family.

Finally fixed the Baltic HG overlap issue by adding in Central European Mesolithic samples. Now the Baltic HG will be split between WHG (which includes Central Euro Meso) and EHG. This seems to be the most reliable method so far.

The next fix will be regarding SC Asians 👍
