Are you happy with your haplogroups?

[Rumata]

Yes, but they are predominantly G2a. What is surprising that their lands are within the birthplace of Yamnaya but only a tiny fraction of them have R-L23.

If it's the real area of Yamnaya, then it was exactly on the border of historical Circassian land as I see it


Yes, my father is Russian and my maternal grandfather was Adyghe

If look highly upon genocide thats your own moral compass. I want nothing to do with it. I want no "blood" on my hands!

I perceive Yamnaya as conquerors not genociders. If that was the case, Europe would be automosally 100% Yamnaya, but it is mostly ANF.

Chill, Yamnaya were not mindless killers.

no they were premediated killers

Unlike those G, J were daring, extreme and active who interacted with pastoralists and took their females as brides and made a huge genetic pool. See the genetics of the modern population of East Caucasus. Georgian and Circassian ancestors were passive who lived isolated and conservative life.

No surprise Yamnaya were half CHG. The contribution was automosal not in terms of haplogroups.

You can never take a joke.

Georgians literally have zero EHG. It's literally their mark. Azeris, Armenains etc. all have some EHG to some extent. Circassians have Yamnaya ancestry but a little less than Northeastern Caucasians. In Caucasus, Yamnaya peaks at Avars and Dargins iirc.

There was no implication it was a joke. Anyway, we should move on and stop judging the past based on our modern values.

Idk. Before the war with RE Circassians owned the biggest and the best land in North Caucasus

Circassian lineage known as aristocrats with pride, they probably did not dare to do anything with foreigners back then, Georgians were isolated and they were more closer to Neolithic farmers (strong Georgian CHG + a significant amount of ANF). Northeast Caucasians are completely opposite in this case. High Yamnaya peak starts from Chechnya and ends in Southern Dagestan. Indo-European speakers like Ossetians and Armenians have this component at a low degree. Modern results show and prove.
