SURVIVE THE JIVE TALK: Ancient DNA news: Greece and Italy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmJwFvFZGdU

I discuss some of the recent findings in archaeogenetics and archaeology, mainly the two DNA papers regarding Indo-European invasions of Greece and Italy. The source of Indo-European languages in each turns out to be the Catacomb culture and the Bell Beaker culture respectively. I also debunk the claim that Goths were not originally from Sweden using the latest DNA evidence.

Florian Clemente et al, The genomic history of the Aegean palatial civilizations, Cell (2021). DOI: 10.1016/j.cell.2021.03.039 https://www.researchgate.net/publicat...
Saute et al, Ancient genomes reveal structural shifts after the arrival of Steppe-related ancestry in the Italian Peninsula (2021) https://www.cell.com/current-biology/...

VERY INDO-EUROPEAN

opinions?

Those are the closest ancient pops for the Middle Helladic sample from 1800BC from Mytrueancestry. That kinda proves the Doric Invasion or at least the Indo-European ancestry of Proto-Greeks who came from Central Europe. (IMO)
