”Others” includes C, I, J, K, N, and X. Only one sample for each of them

Apologies, the Corded Ware frequencies were incorrect. I will remake it soon

Here are some models for the mixtures. The Globular and Megalithic input for SGC and Beakers is a bit overstated. Just an issue with G25

Haplogroup frequencies of Scandinavian Hunter-Gatherers (SHG) 🦌 n=27
SHG’s were a distinct genetic cluster of Mesolithic Europe. They were the result of EHG, migrating along the Northern coast, mixing with WHG’s migrating from the south and east. This is why Norwegian SHG’s had much more EHG ancestry than Swedish or Danish SHG’s.
The large majority belonged to WHG lineages (I2), although we do have one very interesting Norwegian sample (VK531) who belonged to a very old subclade of R1b. He had the same genetic profile as other Norwegian SHG’s, but is dated to only 2,400 BC! He was found in Northern Norway near Tromsø and is currently the youngest sample with a fully Mesolithic European genetic profile.

In terms of phenotype, most Norwegian SHG’s are predicted to have been similar to EHG’s (dark hair and eyes + light skin), but many Swedish samples are predicted to have had light hair, eyes, and skin. This was a very uncommon combination for the Mesolithic. It’s believed that they inherited light hair and skin from EHG’s and light eyes from WHG’s.
The SHG genetic signal would die out over time, having contributed very little to no admixture to their Funnelbeaker/GAC EEF neighbors to the south. Incoming Corded Ware people only mixed with GAC, and over time replaced the last SHG-descended groups in Scandinavia.
