Yamnaya, Corded Ware and Bell Beaker haplogroup similarity.
20 / 135 (14.8%) of Corded Ware have a clade from Yamnaya
156 / 179 (87.2%) of Bell Beaker have a clade from Corded Ware
Using a clade depth of 11 from the first 3 digits

@SalemKatta19354 They don't understand genetics, although there are a couple of Hattian results in the North Caucasus.

A new study has revealed that N-VL73 was one of the major paternal lineages of the Oghuz tribes that migrated to Anatolia.

We’re back with the official visual and the official estimate for the bombshell split of R-Y2619.

The famous Ashkenazi Levite line, now renamed R-M12205, has a new closest cousin: a Tajik man from Badakhshan.

Their ancestors parted ways c. 600 BCE, according to @FamilyTreeDNA.

@kvali_app The proportions are the same, but we'll also make an updated map

🗡 Top 7 Most Common Subclades in the Caucasus

🧬 J1-Z1842
🧬 J2-Z7671
🧬 G2a2-L1266
🧬 G2a1-Z6700
🧬 R1b-Z2103
🧬 R1a-Z93
🧬 J2-SK1313

❗Nearly 9 out of 10 men in the Caucasus belong to one of these subclades.

@SalemKatta19354 This is apparently a migrant from the South Caucasus, unrelated to the Hittites or the Hattians. This lineage is typical of Georgians and not really typical of Circassians. The common ancestor of the Hattians and the Circassians lived about 14,000 years ago

✔️ Convenient count by country flags.
✔️ Good overview of ancient DNA.
✔️ Useful era icons.
✔️ Handy option to collapse and expand the tree.

Yamnaya and Corded Ware haplogroups similarity.
10 / 98 (10.2%) samples for Corded Ware have the same terminal clade as Yamnaya.

@kbhistandcult @ArkeolojiveTurk @nrken19 Don’t use useless tools that cannot show the real picture.

[Caucasus DNA @caucasusdna]

@nikthealbanian @Karabasanbey1 Byzantium was a huge country, and within it were many genetically distinct people. The Greeks of Anatolia and the Balkans, although they shared genetics, were very different, so samples from the Balkans would show a closeness to the Balkan Greeks and vice versa. This is normal

J1 in Dagestan and in the Mesolithic Caucasus: is there a connection?

🧬 Satsurblia: J1b (in red)
🧬 Dagestan: J1a2 (in green)
🧬 Semites: J1a1 (in blue)

❗️Almost 18,000 years separate them.

In reality, they are almost two different haplogroups.
