As someone from Serbia, I noticed that the article linked to "9th or 10th millennium BC Serbia" is about Sardinia. Is there anything about Serbia? Thank you
Thanks. Wondering what you think of the alternative hypothesis that R1b-V88 migrated directly into northern Africa from the Levant. How can we distinguish between the two hypotheses and assess their relative merits? Here is an exposition of that alternative hypothesis:
A fascinating paper! It is not every day that one comes across something as enriching as this, even though it may be well outside of one's field. Thanks for the link, Niccolo! Now, Mr. Nimitz, about your mention of Sardinia... Do you have any information about the indigenous peoples of that island? I believe I had come across some mention of their genetic uniqueness. Not sure. I ask because I had my DNA tested by one of those outfits, in this case MyHeritage. I am Jewish, of mixed Sephardic (North Africa/Spain/Italy/Middle East) and Ashkenazi (Central Europe) descent. In the original readout I got from MyH I had 9+% of Sardinian ancestry. Fascinating. Some time later, MyH re-did their breakdown and the Sardinian disappeared. Well...those outfits are not entirely trustworthy...OK, I may be a descendant of wandering Jews who landed in Sardinia and spent time there...or maybe not, according to MyH second edition. So, what is it about Sardinia, if anything, should you have any such information . Thanks!
I'm sharing this one with readers today over at my Substack.
Really enjoyed, will be paying subscriber if you can put out content at least monthly!

Terrific read. I’d love to learn more about the Toubou. Mysterious origins and rich history.
