Ostorf-Tannenwerder Burial III
Western Hunter-Gatherer
Northern Germany 3800-2900 BC
New reconstruction with The Chad Pastoralist!
The Ostorf-Tannenwerder burial site represents a special group within Neolithic northern Germany. The cemetery contained 26 individuals dated to 3800-2900 BC, while their grave goods were dated to 3200-2900 BC. The entire burial is within a Neolithic context of earthen flat burials.
Genetic analyses on the burial remains of OST003 from 3300 BC reveals that he was 81% Western Hunter Gatherer, 11% Anatolian and 8% Ancient North Eurasian-related. Additionally, he carried 52/62 genetic markers pertaining to Y-DNA haplogroup I-M253 (I1) and has been confirmed to belong to haplogroup I-L840. He is therefore from before the TMRCA of I1, either at a closely related branch or the closest thing to an ancestral carrier we have so far.

I made a quick summary of the oldest samples with Q-M902. M902 is very commonly found in Native Americans.

Estimating the Genetic Legacy of Romans in the Republican Era
As part of an enlightening series showcasing remnants of ancient civilizations, we delve into the genetic tapestry of the Roman Republic. This post provides a glimpse into the genetic makeup of Roman Republican citizens during that era, utilizing both the Paleolithic and Ancestral calculators for a comprehensive analysis.

Exploring the Genetic Heritage of Romans from the Imperial Era
Continuing our informative series that uncovers traces of bygone civilizations, we embark on a journey through the genetic heritage of the Roman Empire. In this article, we offer insights into the genetic composition of individuals living in the Roman Empire during that epoch, employing both Paleolithic and Ancestral calculators for a thorough examination.

Genetic distance to the Magdalenian cluster (~17,000 - 14,000 ybp)
The Magdalenians were a distinct cluster of hunter-gatherers who inhabited Europe during the later Upper Paleolithic.
The majority of their ancestry was connected to the Fournol Gravettians, who were a western subgroup of the broader Gravettian culture. The Fournol differed from most other Gravettian groups in that they were largely genetically connected to earlier Western European Aurignacians like GoyetQ116-1. The rest of the Magdalenian cluster’s ancestry was derived from Epigravettians (early WHGs).
Regarding Y-DNA, they show types of C, typical of Paleolithic Europeans, and types of I2, typical of Epigravettians. All samples were found to belong to types of mtDNA U.
Later Epigravettian migrants would largely replace the Magdalenians in most of Europe, although they did pick up some admixture from them (~15-20% for WHGs and ~45-55% for Iberian HGs).

Not specifically Indo-European related but an interesting topic.
Kostenki 14 is a site in Western Russia where a man of the Aurignacian culture was found. He belonged to y haplogroup C1b and mtdna U2. Members of his genetic group may be the source of the West Eurasian ancestry of the ANE (an ancestor of the steppe peoples).
This artistic reconstruction was based on the skull and facial outline drawn by Orobassas, an artist, who came up with the idea to do a reconstruction of this individual.
The clothing featured on the reconstruction comes from Ice Age Art, from Instagram, who gave advice on clothing and allowed me to use images of his ice age clothing reconstructions.

Genetic distance to Mesolithic Western European Hunter-Gatherers (WHG)
The WHG, or Oberkassel cluster, inhabited Western and Central Europe during the Mesolithic.
The bulk of their ancestry was derived from the Epigravettians, who lived in Italy and the Balkans during the Late Paleolithic. The rest of their ancestry was derived from the Paleolithic European Magdalenian cluster, whom the WHGs replaced between 14,000 - 11,000 ybp.
The WHG were important genetic contributors to many other Mesolithic European groups, including Iron Gates HG (~80-85%), Baltic HG (~75-85%), Scandinavian HG (~55-70%), Ukraine Mesolithic (~50%), and Eastern HG (~30-35%).
WHGs overwhelmingly belonged to Y-DNA I2, with a small minority of R1b. Regarding mtDNA, they were mainly U5, with a small amount of U4, H, and K.

Maps showing shared drift between Kostenki14 and modern populations
K14 is dated to roughly 37000 ybp and is associated with the Aurignacian culture of Upper Paleolithic Europe. He belonged to Y-DNA C1b.
A group similar to him contributed ancestry to Vestonice cluster Gravettians, Ancient North Siberians/Ancient North Eurasians, and Epigravettians.
