What's your steppe admixture? If it's in the low 10s, you're on par with western Armenians and some central/eastern Turks but definitely less than Eastern Armenians and Kurds

That's Gor Manvelyan. Not sure of his full ancestry but he does look pretty exotic for sure. Armenian wouldn't have been my first guess.

Fair enough. I like both but give more value to LBA/IA

It becomes too dissimilar at that point in my opinion. You can see it from the relatively larger fit distances. It's going to get even weirder once we obtain pre N and eras before that as well.

They're not directly responsible for the Kurdish ethnogensis. You liking N models most doesn't change this fact. I like N models too because they can be fun to mess with but why give them this much importance? The point in modeling yourself with IA populations is to see where your true...

Neolithic samples are the "purest" by virtue of being the oldest gaugeable samples that are available. However, they don't have a direct impact to the overwhelming majority of modern day populations. I justify using BA/IA samples to model modern day populations because they are the sources...

I haven't. But I've seen some runs posted by Onyx and by another acquaintance of mine. They make much more sense from a geographic, chronological, and archeological perspective for me at least.

You're whole premise is that everything Neolithic is ground zero but you're also forgetting that there is pre-neolithic populations that have existed and even pre pre-neolithic and so on and so forth. Even those Neolithic populations you speak of are mixed and don't paint the entire picture...

Why wouldn't using BA and IA samples tell you who is native to what region and who isn't? That's precisely what they do because IA and BA populations are going to explain how modern day ethnic groups are formed, certainly for Armenians at least. Using Neolithic models only, you are basically...

The one caveat is that there's only 1 or 2 CHG samples available. If more were available for testing then results may change somewhat, but we can only analyze what we have at the moment.

It's a very old Neolithic population. Nothing strange that it tops out in Georgians at 30% max.

On G25 it varies by region. Hamshentsi will get 40+% Easterners 25-35% range Westerners will score around 20% more or less The southwest shifted ones even less. On qpAdm, it's no more than 10-15% realistically. I'd say probably around 10% average at most. Funny enough, Yamnaya, ANF, and...

No, I'm saying if you run yamnaya and CHG together for a target population, the CHG will be overrepresented almost always at the cost of yamnaya. This problem doesn't exist on qpAdm which is why Georgians barely get 30% CHG and very realistic amounts of yamnaya admixture.

What I mean is that it masks other components on G25, namely yamnaya. And it's a vastly overrated component in terms of percentages. Real CHG scores, using qpAdm as a template, is far less significant than they would be on G25.

CHG has cryptic steppe, certainly.

They don't know how to model ethnicities from our region. They apply the 'one-size-fits-all' method and roll with that.

Very localized look. Mostly found in Georgia, but also present in nearby countries/ regions.

Because he looks more Assyrian. Dude is almost a copy-paste of his Assyrian father.

Iran to Central to South Central Asia

I know they do. Read it again lol
