You just prompted me to go check 23andme and apparently my paternal haplogroup is Yamnaya. It probably isn't saying anything good about me that that gave me a little thrill.pic.twitter.com/E06EPkv2HV

Thank you. This is fascinating. How interesting is it that the maternal and paternal are separated. I read...here are the raging armies that decimated your cities vs. here are the women who somehow nurtured you to adulthood despite. Grateful for both cuz we are here

Haplogroups are interesting because both the maternal and paternal lines are preserved, but separately. I am descended from a long line of women who meandered westward along the mediterranean & a long line of men who conquered the eurasian steppes and spread from Ireland to Japan

It's cool that you can say, "5000 years ago my great-great (x64) grandmother was somewhere around Greece and my great-great (x64) grandfather was somewhere around Kazakhstan.

This is absolutely fascinating. There has got to be more research on this. S/t like, what happens when a groups of marauders impregnates whole towns of women who subsequently migrate to safer places to save their babies? So many takes on this

Genetics are really one of the best tools we have to study pre-history, as we really don't have much in the way of artifacts. What we do have ends up being really cool, though. See for example the Corded Ware peoples, named for their pots:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corded_Ware_culture …

This is absolutely fascinating. Rendering the book. one interesting feature of the Wikipedia article is how much of early research is focused on the Y chromosome. I get why that’s the simplest way. Thank you both. diving down a deep hole that I would not have otherwise
