Genetic distance to the Tartessians of Iron Age Andalusia 🇪🇸

Genetic distance to Iron Age samples from the Volga-Oka interfluve 🇷🇺

These samples represent the Uralic speaking groups who inhabited Northwestern Russia prior to the Slavic expansion.

During the Middle Ages, Slavs would migrate into the region resulting in a gradual genetic turnover. Here are a few rough models to illustrate this.

The MA outlier samples are interesting as they appear to represent Turkic migrants

Here are the averages and the paper they were pulled from:

Out of curiosity, decided to recreate my ancestral calculator for unscaled:

Genetic distance to the youngest sample with a fully Mesolithic European profile, VK531

For perspective, this SHG was contemporary with the late Battle Axe culture further south. He is also the earliest evidence of Y-DNA R1b in Norway, although he belonged to a different clade than the Indo European derived ones. It may be possible that this man’s tribe survived long enough to interact with the first Sámi migrants to Northern Scandinavia during the early Iron Age.

”Reconstruction” shown is a hypothetical Norwegian SHG (merging of WHG and EHG recons), as we don’t have a skull for this sample.

DNA Estimate of Ancient Assyrians, made by my friend TheBeakerLady.

Part of an educational series featuring samples of ancient civilizations.

The first post of this series is of the only sample from Ancient Assyrian Empire. I included two breakdowns according to calculators by the talented Waters of Memory and the closest modern populations from the G25 database.

Made a few changes to my ancestral calculator again. Added in a more reliable ”pure steppe” Corded Ware average. Also expanded the Asian and African sections.
