Quote:R1a marker is present in all Eastern and Central Europe and absent in Western Europe, it is derived from Paleolithic inhabitants of Europe and they have been linked to the Kurgan population and to Indoeuropeans, but I don´t think that link is very convincingAryaman2:u8zt19xs Wrote:TNarcher:u8zt19xs Wrote:Aryaman2,Genetic markers can´t really distinguish historical populations. All that can be said is that the genetic marker R1b (called before HG1) according to latest studies would make almost 100% of French Paleolithic population (exceptions the "Basque" genetic marker EU18, and probably some degree of the "Central European I" in the borders with Germany and Belgium. Today France has 60% of R1b, 20%of I, 10% of J Eastern Mediterranen marker and E3b North African marker nad 10% of R1a eastern European marker. Some of the latest could be Neolithic, or maybe Roman colonization. I would bet on this last one, as the North African marker is also significantly present in England
Would the other 40% be a mix of Frankish, Visigothic and maybe Roman(Italic) blood..?

Who would these Eastern Europoeans be? North Africans?
Johnny
North Africans would be from Egypt/Eastern Mediterranean cultures arrived to Europe by the sea in Neolithic times
