Indo-Europeans Reconstruction

[Luso]

They look exotic as heck.

well they were from south central asia. What do you expect? Blonde vikings?

[Rethel]

Bullshit selfhating thread. Luckily we have freshly-arrived Pontic Tarim PIE mummies, fair of flesh and hair, to take you out of your woke trance.

Bingo!

[Dunai]

Real anthropological reconstruction of the original Indo-Europeans will always be the absolute bane of Aryan supremacists

[Dorian]

And these are not even the original "indoeuropeans" ,can only imagine what those would have looked like.

Blondism occured independently in different parts of Europe and West Asia. The very first actual "Blonde Blue eyed" individual was some farmer from Hungary with y Haplogroup G2a as far as I remember. Then there was also some farmers in Anatolia with light eyes, skin, hair.

Ironically while Yamnaya was predominantly dark haired and eyed, individuals from the Kura Araxes culture further South were light eyed and red haired. Yamnaya was yet still dark by European standards but their next descendens on the very same lands like the Srubna culture suddenly turned lighter.

Since the Srubna belonged literally to the same genetic structure as the Yamnaya this shift in pigmentation can't be explained solely by admixture. The primary reason seems to be adaption to a different lifestyle (agricultural) and adaption to the environment.

Add to that the neolithic Kleitos sample which was heterozygous for blue eyes as well.Makes you wonder ,is there anything that the south didn't give to the bushmens of the north?not only they were taught farming and civilization later but they were even given caucasoid features and alleles so they can bleach themselves.

They look quite Roman

[Nurzat]

people in the thread should pay more attention to bone structure of the face and the facial traits and comment on that

[Zhulta]

Would the ANE People have had a similar look?

Neolithic Farmer reconstruction:

Oh wait, that's not a reconstruction but a famous modern day Sardinian. Regardless, it's lucky we had white-looking people like this to dilute our Indo-European wogginess.

The Sardinians are too mongrel to be representative of the early farmers.

Bullshit selfhating thread. Luckily we have freshly-arrived Pontic Tarim PIE mummies, fair of flesh and hair, to take you out of your woke trance.

Well, when I saw the mummies I thought they were Andean mummies.

Evidence that a West-East admixed population lived in the Tarim Basin as early as the early Bronze Age

Conclusions
Our results demonstrated that the Xiaohe people was an admixture from populations originating from both the West and the East, implying that the Tarim Basin had been occupied by an admixed population since the early Bronze Age. Considering the unique genetic haplotypes and particular archaeological culture, the admixed population might have had relationship with populations settled South Siberia during the Bronze Age. To our knowledge, this is the earliest genetic evidence of an admixed population settled in the Tarim Basin.

So quite "mongoloid" mixed people, it seems.
