Proto-Indo-European from NW Indian subcontinent, Iran or SC Asia - A Proposal based on Genetics

South & SC Asian neolithic ancestry in Steppe Eneolithic

I have been working on this project for 3 weeks, and results are nothing less than spectacular! But for those who follow my comments on other blogs, this is hardly surprisng.

In 2019, 3 very important human remain samples from the Caucasus region were published¹. 2 of these samples were from a site called Progress II, and 1 from a site known as Vonjucka. Both these sites are just north of the caucasus mountains in now Southern Russia. The carbon dating of these samples shows that the oldest lived around 4900 BCE and the newest around 4200 BCE.

Stepwise tutorial to Install Admixtools & Plink

 I will make 3 separate posts on how to install Admixtools, run qpAdm and run qpGraph respectively. This first blog post will detail steps to successfully install Admixtools by Harvard lab.

STEP 1.  Have a Linux system

Admixtools cannot be run from a Windows system. If you have a Windows or MacOS Host system, install Oracle VirtualBox from here. Its free.

Install any Guest linux system on this VBox. I use OpenSuse Leap v15.1 for no particular reason apart from that I'm used to it. The virtual image for installation can be downloaded for free from here.

Once this is done, install the guest Linux system on the VBOX. This video below can guide you. 

In the Virtual box settings (can only edit it when Guest OS is shut down), make sure to use 2 processors, 3d acceleration enabled in display settings and I would suggest using 4GB RAM. Use VBoxSVGA as Graphics controller in display settings so that you can get full screen display in guest OS.

East, West & Basal Eurasian components in select ancient samples from the paleolithic and neolithic

I am working on some qpGraphs to figure out the different Iran farmer like ancestries in Ganj Dareh, CHG, TepeAbdulHosein, Hotu cave, Wezmeh cave, SC Asia (Sarazm) and India etc. Its taking longer than I expected because of many populations adding complexity. 

So I thought i would use the graphs already made to shed some light on some Eurasian samples. When I publish qpGraphs please keep some things in mind while analyzing.
