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

[Jacques de Imbelloni]

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.

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)
