We still don't know where South Asian comes from, but its a component that was present in ancient CHG, possibly ANE as well.

It's related to IEs and other steppe invaders. You can find South Asian admixture among them.

Wow. The first results of the ancient PIE seem to be a mixture between Baltic/Finnish and West Asian. I though they had been predominately eastern European.

They are still dominantly Eastern European, at least in modern terms, the difference is that they just have elevated West Asian admixture and no Anatolian farmer admixture, otherwise they were still similar to modern Eastern Europeans.

[Grishnack]

Nope, because he has no MENA either Balkan to make it Gypsy. It's from his north Caucasian or Ugric admix, all caucasians score south asian and so do many Finns.

Yeah, it makes sense actually. Quite ironic when you think that the rest of Europe considers Romanians to be gypsies when we have one of the smallest ammount of South Asian admixture in Europe.

I think it's because of name (Romania - Roma). In Croatia many less educated people think Romania is ancient homeland of gypsies

As you know, we have absolutely no reason to hate Romania. But these stereotype comes from elswhere. So far biggest south asian score I seen that isn't Gypsy were one Finn, one Tatar and one Irishman quite interestingly.

The Irish probably got it from British colonial rule in India. Tatars they got from probably an Iranic type people. No idea about the Finn but most likely an assimilated Finnish Kale somewhere in his lineage, Kale being Gypsies.

How many partial Gypsies are there in Romania? Like 1/4 or 1/8.

Iranic Steppe people had low amounts of South Asian, the highest I've seen was 5% in a Scythian samples, the others had less, around 2% or so.
