Longobard DNA study

But there was a lot of MENA immigration to Italy during Roman times.

That means nothing. You probably is just a frustrated pussy boy Slav from Poland whose only achievements are stealing someone else history based on myths and phantasies of ''We wuz PIEs and shieet''. Suck it, faggot. Romans were greasy haired-jet black haired Meds with olive skin and bushy beards. What should be obvious considering the remaining statues and paintings (look at Pompeii, not a single individual would pass in Poland or Northern/Eastern Europe).

Nordicist scum, debunked again.

Among 37 Langobard samples, there were just two I1: one I1a3 and one I1a1b1. The great majority of the samples were R1b and Germanic I2a subclades. I think it is necessary to revise the common Germanic dispersion theory of modern I1 distribution.

Which clades, if R1b- U106 then makes sense, and how could they have not picked up any R1a along the way? they migrated through heavy R1a territories

they migrated through heavy R1a territories

They are heavy R1a today, but not at that time.

Mecklenburg for example?

Interestingly predominantly southern European individuals that join the Tuscan cluster are minoritary in Hungary and overwhelmingly majoritary in Northern Italy, some of them with more than 70% Tuscan-like ancestry with the rest being CE and British-like. These ones would probably be genetically pretty similar to modern North Italians.

Southern input in the Szólád individuals seems to be pretty diverse but overall closer to southeastern Europeans.

They look closer to Italians than to Greeks or Albanians.
Only SZ37/SZ1 appear somewhat east-shifted.

What about Celts in Northern Italy?

Collegno samples cluster with Slovaks (SK), not with South Italians!

So they were Central European genetically.

Every single European country is mixed of ancestries.

I guess some of the "early" Italians: Would have come from Greece.
Etruscans would be there, latter Gauls.
Then the Germanics and Nordics.
Also North Africans.
Maybe Phoenicians?

Apparently most of Italian dna came before the Germanic invasion.
And Sicily has had tons of people living in.
But this is just a couple thousand years.

How about going even further back, people from Middle East/Caucasian...

Nope, just the ones heavily mixed with Lombards.

If the R1bs went through R1a lands, that would be near the pontic steppe? and moving later to other areas?
