Germans are the standard bearer of the Germanic ethnos. To that end, I want to estimate their admixture. Should one use Iron-Age proto-Germanics e.g. Denmark_IA, or later (West) Germanics proper e.g. Saxons from Schleswig-Holstein? Depending on which one I get slightly different results. The Saxon here one could consider to be close to a "pure West Germanic".
Here I used Ukraine_Medieval as the proxy for Slavic admixture. Is this good? Or should I use something else?I am also using Lithuania_BA for Baltic admixture. Anyways, here are the results when using a Schleswig Saxon as the proxy for Germanic admixture
Here is the one using Denmark_IA (also ignore the Saami in the previous one, I was just checking ~how much Saami the Swedes have)
So, if you use a medieval West Germanic as the proxy, you get that the average German is ~62% Germanic, 22% Celtic, and 16% Slavic & Baltic. Whilst if you use Iron-Age proto-Germanics (Denmark_IA) you get Germans as being on average 45% Germanic, 39% Celtic, and 15% Slavic.
>>18106841Bump, do you have a steppe ancestry profile of germans?
>>18106878I don't have it in hand, but usually it comes out to something like 40-45% Steppe, 40-45% Anatolian Farmer, and the remainder WHG.
>>18106887Yeah that's the range i expected, i was just wondering what the regional variation between north, south and east looks like, oh well
>>18106841>Modeling German admixtureThat's what GPT gave me:
>>18106894Here is using https://www.exploreyourdna.com/calculator/178/bronze-age-calculator.htm
>>18106905I know eurogenes. I just don't have the German samples there. Would you mind copying the coords here, or copy the txt file name that contains it?

>>18106952Thanks. Here's how they spread out on a PCA chart:
>>18106841Using more modern samples, it seems like a few regions have visible Near Eastern admixture. But it doesn't seem to matter, since they're some of the richest ones in the country.
>>18106841What kind of distinction is this in the picture? Many slavs look quite nordic. If you want to differenciate this, make it geographic or something.
