Is Baltid WHG?

[Roy]

I remember that La Brana in Spain has a great amount of WHG and was very close to Baltic people.

I think that group were crossing europe from NE to SW bordering the walls of ice of the ice age following animals to hunt

How much though North-Eastern Europeans are related as in being desceneded from La Brana people is something I wonder about.

Neolithic farmers favorite thing to grow was wheat and barley. Baltic nations aren’t exactly the best places to grow that shit. So less of them were willing to settle those areas permanently. Not much bang for the buck. Southern Europe and Central Europe was a much better place for them.

I think Baltid is more EHG thing.

I am related to La Brana Man

He was haplogroup C.

Baltid - just eastern european CM

If I was to relate modern phenotype to WHG, it would be Paleo-Atlantid (dark haired, light-eyed northern CM).
Look at my avatar, my father looks like that - dark haired boy with northern facial features, green eyes, and he is I2 haplogroup just like they were.

He was haplogroup C.

They used to have him listed as I2, guess I am not then still related to Motala and Loschbour man B)

Yes you are, and La Brana was autosomally pure WHG though.

EHG is roughly modeled as WHG+ANE(its a rough model because it doesn’t fit them perfectly) the more west you went from Ukraine the more WHG dominant you became. In the Baltic area they would have been around 60 percent WHG. Just like SHG were more WHG than EHG. So no way were they mainly EHG or represent them more than WHG.

According to this East Adriatic coast has some of worst quality soil in Europe, and def. worst in southern Europe.
Maybe that is why we are so northern shifted for our geographic location.
