This episode shows the spread of paternal DNA Haplogroup R1a in Central and Eastern Europe. In particular, among the subclades of R1a, it includes the diffusion process of Z282, particularly related to Scandinavian and Proto-Slavic.

    You're like the only channel that's still touching content of this field on youtube, really appreciate it
  • Are you sure about R1a or and R1b ? Do you mixing both don ´t you ?
  • The high concentration of I2a1b-L621 in north-east Romania, Moldova and central Ukraine reminds of the maximum spread of the Cucuten > Trypillian culture(4800-3000 BCE). No Y-DNA sample from this culture has been tested to date, but as it evolved as an offshoot from the Starčevo–Kőrös–Criş culture, it is likely that I2a was one of its main paternal lineages, and a founder effect could have increased considerably its frequency. The Cucuten > Trypillian culture was the most advanced Neolithic culture in Europe before the Indo-European invasions in the Bronze Age and seems to have had intensive contacts with the Steppe culture before the expansion of Yamna to the Balkans and Central Europe (see histories of R1a and R1b). From 3500 BCE, at the onset of the Yamna period in the Pontic-Caspian Steppe, the Cucuten > Trypillian people started expanding east into the steppe of what is now western Ukraine, leaving their towns (the largest in the world at the time), and adopting an increasingly nomadic lifestyle like their Yamna neighbours. It can easily be imagined that Cucuten > Trypillian people became assimilated by the Yamna neighbours and that they spread as a minority lineage alongside haplogroups R1a and R1b as they advanced toward the Baltic with the Corded Ware expansion. Alternatively, I2-L621 lineages could have lived in relative isolation from the mainstream Proto-Indo-European society somewhere around Ukraine, Poland or Belarus, then as the centuries and millennia passed, would have blended with the predominantly R1a populations around them. The resulting amalgam would have become the ancestors of the Proto-Slavs.
  • I would appreciate very much if someone could explain what y-haplogroup was common for Achaeans, the ones who sieged Troy? Scientists say that tribe was originated from Catacomb culture. Strange enough but it’s hard to find out its main haploplogroup. Is it R1a-M458 and R1a-Z280? And if it’s so, were Achaeans belonged to these haplogroups? Because it seems a bit odd for me.
  • I am Hungarian from NE Hungary, and my Y-DNA is R1a-YP1337. Originally my paternal line can be traced back to Transylvania.
  • @1106gary
    Any idea where R-Y2905 fits in?
  • @MDno.1
    So Corded Ware / Battle axe culture is ancestral to Scandinavian and Slavic cultures?

    Nice video. Like those references to the Ancient DNA samples. 👍🏻

    This work is excellent--thank you for the level of detail and graphics. David Reich et al just published an updated genealogy of both modern and ancient genomes, which now extends continental migration timelines. The paper was published in Science titled, "A unified genealogy of modern and ancient genomes"--Would you regard this research valid and relevant to the channel?

    same ow this is not right, where was the ice in the last ice age? The ice age finish 13.ooo years ago, did that not influence the way people travel?

    Hello, I have one question: Does all R1a-Z283 in the Balkans came with Slavic Migrations as a whole, or could some groups brought some percentages of it in the Balkans before the Slavs (e. Goths or Dacians) via assimilation of proto-slavs and migration movements, for example? Could some R1a-M458 and R1a-Z280 came in the Balkans with Gothic, Gepid, Geto-Dacian or Celtic migrations that assimilated Slavs in the movements and then came in the Balkans as part of these other ethnicities? Can we say for sure that every R1a-Z280 and R1a-M458 in the Balkans came with Slavic Migrations, or it's likely just the majority? Eupedia says that R1a-M458 and R1a-Z280 in the Balkans are mostly associated with the Slavic migrations, but 'most' doesn't mean necessarily all of them, right? I know the question might sound weird, but I have some doubts in regards to it. I hope you can help me! I would like to hear your opinion about it! Thanks in advance!

  • Modern day Croatia was named after White Croats who settled there in the 7th century and in the 8th century from ancient pagan state of White Croatia. Bili Horvati 626 - 2026❤
  • No, I2 oldest Europeans on Balkans speak also Slavic language. And it was spoken not long before before in wider area: north Greece, Albania, Romania, Hungary, north-east Italy, east Austria and east Germany.
