An imageboard taking GIS geodata you can fork and edit (including e.g. the DOI you sourced) rather than actual images is coming soon on an invite-only basis, btw

You're free to reverse engineer all of this as, unlike our competitors, we do not charge for Information That Wants To Be Free

Y-DNA of the Pre-Hellenic inhabitants of Greece and Crete, the Early Helladic and Minoan people. The Early Helladic stands in stark contrast to the Later Mycenaean, not just due to the presence of Steppe Lineages, but also a stark decline of the previous dominant lineage, J1b-F1615, which is extremely marginal in the Mycenaean period. L, I2a and J1a vanish completely after 1700bc, and new Lineages such as J2b-L283, R1b-Pf7562, R1b-M269, C1a-V20, , J2a-PF7416, J2a-PF5197, J2a-PF5007, and G2a-P287 appear, which are Absent in the preceeding periods. Crete sees more continuity from the Minoan to the Mycenean periods, however J1 disappears as well, G2a grows dramatically, and R1b-PF7562 and E-L618 (E being absent on the mainland) appear. This speaks for more than just an introduction of Steppe Lineages at the switch from Helladic to Mycenaean Civilization, but also attests other migratory events seperate from the Proto-Greek movement happening paralell to it into Greece.

"The LRJ industry starts in europe during 50-45kya, contemporary to various transitional Neanderthal-Sapien industries such as Chatelperronian and Uluzzian. The Initial Upper Paleolithic culture (IUP), genetically related to East Eurasians, spreads to both Southeast Europe and the Altai in 45kya, while the East Eurasian Core and Flake industry spreads from the south northward into China. By 45kya, the West Eurasian Aurignacian Culture spreads into europe, possibly via Anatolia or the Caucasus. Partly Contemporarily, the closely related Gravettian Culture spreads northward into Eastern Eurpope via the Caucasus and then spreads West into the Aurignacian Culture and Eastward, replacing the Altai IUP Culture and migrating far to the to Yana and various related ivory sites. Before this, there were various possibly-IUP sites with evidence of human activity older than 40kya in the arctic circle, an remarkable testament to early humans climactic resilience. around 10 thousand years later, the Late Glacial Maximum event hits, drastically lowering temperatures across the globe, forcing the humans in the arctic to abandon their lands and migrate south. During this LGM, there is almost no evidence of Human presence north of the Carpathians and Alps in Europe. Only after the LGM in 15kya would Humans begin to resettle and expand out of the Refugia back into the rest of Europe as the Soluteran and Magdelanian Cultures. Following this Period, the Scandinavian ice cap started to melt, allowing humans to migrated into Scandinavia for the first time in prehistory, and when they did so, they did so very rapidly, reaching the northernmost part of Scandinavia by 11kya as the Komsa-Hensbacka Culture."

I saw a map on Twitter depicting the spread of Humans into Eurasia and America. The Europe and Siberia parts were extremely inaccurate, so i made this version showing it more accurately.

Y-DNA of Mycenaeans

This also sheds light on the origins of Ötzi the Iceman, a famous prehistoric ice-mummy from Austria. DNA Testing revealed that Ötzi belonged to the Haplogroup G-L166. This Haplogroup is not found as dominant in many of the cultures contemporary to Ötzis life, except for the Horgen Culture in Switzerland, which is completely Dominated by G-PF3148, which is ancestral to Ötzis G-L166. Furthermore, 7 of the 10 samples from the Horgen Culture are of Ötzis clade, G-L166. Archaeological evidence also lines up, as Ötzi also carried Stone Tools developed by the Horgen Culture. Therefore we can say confidently that Ötzi was a individual from the Swiss Neolithic Horgen Culture, possibly as a trader, a scout or a retreating raider, since Ötzi is largely outside the Horgen cultures area and was assailed by locals and died to the wounds they inflicted.

The Italian, British, French and Iberian Late Neolithic groups are unified through a common dominance of i2a1-m223, which is however a seperate clade from the I2a1 of the preceeding, and ancestral to all of these, Cardial Culture (I2a1-l161, the same as Funnelbeaker). There are many things that could have happened here, such as individual founder effects or contributions from local hunter gatherers. Singleing out exactly happened would only be possible through high-coverage IBD connections.

Around 5000bc, when the LBK culture falls, the gene pool in central europe becomes extremely heterogenous, with samples being all over the place on PCA with varying amounts of WHG and ANF ancestry. After 4500bc this stabilizes into the Ethnogenisation of new cultures such as Chasseen, Michelsberg, Lengyel and TRB, which are all dominated by Hunter Gatherer Lineages. The British Neolithic is derived from Chasseen and Michelsberg groups, where their line of I2a underwent a large founder effect. There are various weird discrepancies in the specific clades of I2a however, for example Wartberg having a large amount of I2a2, which is extremely rare in other groups. Other discrepancies are the dominance of I2a1-l161 in Funnelbeaker, and the dominance of I2a1-l801 in GAC, which is Autosomally identical to Funnelbeaker and materially derived from it.

Ignore the U106 in Italy

In stark contrast, the Late Neolithic/Chalcolithic cultures after 4000bc are primarily dominated by Hunger Gatherer Lineages like I2 instead of the previous G2a and C dominance from Anatolia. Samples from this period also carry higher HG autosomal ancestry, although Anatolian Farmer derived ancestry still dominates.

Y-DNA of European Neolithic populations, primarily the Cardial Culture in the Mediterranean, Linearbandkeramik in Central Europe, Starcevo Culture in Serbia and Pannonia, Greek Early Neolithic and the Cucuteni-Trypillia Culture in Romania and Ukraine.
