>>17983257I'll never understand where the nordic greek/romans myth came from.Even the statues look like modern italians and greeks. You can see they are heavily dinaricized, they don't have a western appeareance at all.It doesn't even pass the eye test, they had to ignore that lingering feeling of coping to construct them. Guess it was really important for them.
>>17983270Germanic peoples were slaves for centuries, and the Romans even preferred to appoint eastern governors to oversee their lands in Germania, Gaul and Britain.
>>17983270Being southern Europeans, the Greeks always had more Farmer blood than Yamnaya, which is 100% logical. This PCA shows where modern Euros are in comparison with ancient Greeks and Romans. The former are so far right, because they have basically 0 WHG admixture.
>>17983443It also goes for romans.I don't but the "iron age romans were the same as republican romans" thingy. There are missing samples.Italians have less whg than iron age italics yet they look identical.
>>17983443And here's how their overall genepool was evolving over the millennia.
>>17983449>Italians have less whg than iron age italicsWhich is a mystery on its own. How could that've happened? The first response is immigration, but the nords who populated Italy after Rome's fall had the same levels of WHG, so the percentage shouldn't go down.
>>17983458It's not a mystery. Greece, southern italy, and anatolia, which were home to east med profiles, were extremely overpopulated in classical era, so they moved everywhere, not just Italy but also france, spain and the balkans, and shifted everyone basically east. Almost all samples are eastern shifted compared to the iron age.Nords didn't leave much genetic impact.People get confused, the goths, which wanted to impose themselves on the native italian population, got genocided by belisarius (roughly 200k victims in the graeco-gothic wars) and the modern source of celtogermanic dna is lombards and franks, which were more peaceful, accepted to learn latin etc..
>>17983471While your description of migations is false (these regions were not "home" to any east med peoples - they moved there later), it is a valid theory that eastern med. genetics lowered the WHG admixture in Italians. But this would be visible in G25 in the Davidski model (visible in >>17983456 ).
>>17983443The main difference between Greeks and Northern Europeans is the extra (not part of EEF or Yamnaya) Hunter-Gatherer ancestry, whether WHG, SHG, BHG etc. 0-5% HG vs 12-25% HG is a bigger difference than 15-35% Steppe vs 35-55% Steppe
>>17983458I think post-Roman Germanic admixture in Italy is overestimated. Modern Central Italians have more EEF than both Imperial Romans and Migration Period Germanics, so there was another element involved (likely just native Italics who were not as mixed with newcomers as the urban Romans).
>>17984088>The main difference between Greeks and Northern Europeans is the extra (not part of EEF or Yamnaya) Hunter-Gatherer ancestry, whether WHG, SHG, BHG etc. 0-5% HG vs 12-25% HG is a bigger difference than 15-35% Steppe vs 35-55% SteppeMaybe, maybe not. If we take the PCA chart, the WHG admixture would push them towards northern Italy, and more Yamnaya would push them towards Serbia and Bosnia, so the distance towards northern Euro is relatively the same.
>>17984096That would make sense but also the Germanic would have been hyper de-Germanicized Germanic like continental Lombards. Some of them had about 0% Germanic ancestry.
wasnt phillp of macedon's skeleton found? when will they examine his dna, and put a end to this debate?
>>17984054>these regions were not "home" to any east med peoples - they moved there laterFalse. South Italians were always CHG shifted and also Magna Graecia, retard.
