Ancient DNA from Iron Age Britain and Anglo-Saxon England, Hinxton

[Jackson]

The connection to Finland could be something related to proto-Germanics.

I think so, i noticed that with Eurogenes K=12 (I think it was) and other ones that generally include a 'North Sea' component, the only non-Germanic speaking population in which that is a dominant autosomal component were Finns, or at least some Finns. And a little while back there was also one in which Finns were used to create a component, and that was the major component in most Germanic-speaking countries (the secondary one being one that is basically dominant along the Atlantic coastline), can't remember exactly when that was, but there is definitely a connection, and i presume it is something picked up on here. Unless they mentioned the Finns because they are modal for a north-European component, that is greater in the Early Medieval group than in the Iron Age group.

Just going off memory here but i'll have a look a bit later and find out which Eurogenes runs these were.
