Bronze Age breakdowns for new Mazunino culture samples

The Mazunino culture was an Iron Age culture of the Middle Kama region that developed from the earlier Ananyino and Pyany Bor cultures with influence from nearby Sarmatian cultures. The Mazunino culture is generally associated with early Permic-speakers.

All of the male samples at the site show Y-DNA N-L392

New paper published in Nature: "Whole-genome ancestry of an Old Kingdom Egyptian"

Researchers sequenced the whole genome of an adult male excavated at Nuwayrat, radiocarbon dated to 2855–2570  calBCE, shortly after the unification of Egypt. The body was buried in a ceramic pot within a rock-cut tomb, likely aiding in the preservation of his DNA.
Genetic analysis indicates that the majority of his ancestry derives from a combination of North African Neolithic and Mesopotamian/Levantine sources.
He is predicted to have had brown eyes, brown hair, and dark to black skin pigmentation.

Uniparental haplogroups:
mtDNA haplogroup: I9
Y-haplogroup: E1b1b1b2b~

Ancestry modeling of PM1 Woman (Peștera Muierii 1, Romania, ~34kya)

~87% Sunghir-like Upper Paleolithic (West Eurasian Core)

~13% Bacho Kiro–related Initial Upper Paleolithic (East Eurasian Core)


p = 0.144


Discovered in 1952 in Muierii Cave (SW Romania), PM1 is one of the earliest modern human women known from Europe. The remains were associated with Aurignacian tools, placing her in the Early Upper Paleolithic.


PM1 is a mosaic individual, primarily Sunghir-like, but with a significant Bacho Kiro–related ancestry signal. qp4ratio estimates ~2% Neanderthal ancestry


Directly dated to 32,735–32,181 calBCE (29940 ± 167 BP)


PM1 carried mtDNA haplogroup U6

Paleolithic breakdown of a Late Upper Paleolithic individual from Satsurblia Cave, Georgia.

Genetic ancestry:
~54% Upper Paleolithic Georgia (Dzudzuana Cluster)
~21% Ancient North Eurasian (AG3)
~25% Excess Basal/Early Eurasian (Ranis13 + Mota)
P = 0.0548


The individual was male, belonging to mtDNA haplogroup K3 and Y-haplogroup J1b (J-FT34521). He was directly dated to 11,461-11,225 calBCE, and assigned to the Caucasus Hunter-Gatherer (CHG) genetic cluster.


Hirisplex analysis suggests this individual likely had brown eyes and dark/black hair.
