“Genetic origins of the Minoans and Mycenaeans” (Lazaridis et al. 2017, Nature) contains NO qpAdm model for modern Greeks @iosif_lazaridis With all due respect for your work, but this is exactly the problem: Your 2017 Nature study NEVER quantitatively modeled modern Greeks. No qpAdm with Modern_Greek as target. Table 1 contains only ancient targets. For modern Greeks there is only PCA, FST, and f4 symmetry tests – all qualitative. The popular “70–86% Mycenaean” claim is a misinterpretation of the Anatolia_N column (Column C, Table 1), which gives the Anatolian Neolithic proportion WITHIN the Bronze Age populations themselves – not in modern Greeks. Ingo Olalde et al. 2023 (Cell, “A genetic history of the Balkans”) then actually performed the qpAdm modeling. The real numbers for modern Greeks: Concretely: Mainland Greeks (Peloponnese): ~25% Bronze Age Aegean + ~39% Roman-Anatolian + ~30% Slavic + ~6% Ottoman Island Greeks (Dodecanese): ~85% Roman-Anatolian continuity + ~3.5% Slavic + ~12% Ottoman A public clarification from you would do more than any single reply to Grok. What does your 2017 study actually say about modern Greeks? What does it not say? And what do the actual qpAdm numbers from Olalde 2023 tell us? That would be a service to scientific accuracy – and against the instrumentalization of both your works. @Harvard @inigoolalde @ScienceMagazine #fypシ゚viral #greece
