    Secondly some of the vedic deities, for example Surya have related words in just about all IE languages. Perhaps Irish is one of the few exceptions re surya. Serbian however is not.

    Hi Ezra, long time no hear. Go and read it on vinca thread. I could not be bothered to repeat myself just because you could not be bothered to read what I write.

    I have done analysis of all main Vedic gods. I have given detailed study of Twastar, but will publish detailed studies of the other gods soon. I have done detailed study of swastika as well. It is not just etymology. It is their meaning as gods, their attributes, their relationship with each other and the natural forces that they represent. All of it points to them being foreign to India.

    I just want to post this image, in order to explain why I believe that we can still find traces of old languages and cultures in modern languages and cultures. Hopefully the picture is worth thousand words, and will explain what I mean that roots are found in Serbian and why this is possible. Basically it all depends which languages were mixed to create which language. Serbian just so happened to be a mix of some really old languages. Pure luck really.

    Of course it does. It is the sun god or the Arians. But sun worship is foreign to India. It was brought to India from Europe. Suria is Su Ri Ja = sun king I am. He is the equivalent of Mitra, Mitairsvan = mi +dari + svan = me + gives + light = giver of light, or Surban = Su + Ri + Ban = Sun + king + white, lord, Zaratustra = zara, zora + tvoristvar = day + creator, Oziris, Ozarisl, Osuris = o + su + ri + s = the sun king, the one who shines

    He is sun, sunce, sol, ilios, vid...and later Christ. He is the holy Sun, the creator.

    This is older than Vedas.

    Exactly.

    No I am not joking.

    Nuclear family was the place where original language was created. This is also the place where language is learned.
    As family grows, nuclear family becomes extended family, then clan, then tribe, then nation. All along the same language is used between members of the members of this growing family to keep communication going. Family is preserved through communication and cooperation and for that you need a common language.
    If all these people are linked genetically, through father to son inheritance, I believe that we can talk about genetic languages. R1a languages, R1b languages, I2a languages...As genetic tribes mix, genetic languages mix...If genetic tribes disappear genetic language might disappear as well, unless it was passed onto in full or in part to some other genetic tribe. Today's languages are evolved mix of old languages. This is why we can find ancient language structures and words in modern languages. Serbian language is a mix of R1a, I2a, E1b, R1b...languages. Irish language is a mix of R1b, I2a, I1, R1a...languages. But Russian is a mix of R1a and N languages. Spanish is a mix of R1b, E1b...languages. Basque is pretty much pure R1b language. This is why we can find certain linguistic traits in Serbian and Irish but not in other Slavic languages or Atlantic (or as you know them Celtic) languages. Because both Serbian and Irish share I2a language traits not present in say Welsh. This is why certain words are found in some Germanic and Slavic languages but not in French or other Germanic languages. Because the languages who have these common characteristics share common R1a language...

    Do you have a better explanation for language development and propagation?

    And exactly, all the above etymologies of the ancient gods are in Serbian. Or to be more precise in the remnant of either I2a or R1a ancient language, preserved in Serbian. Language spoken by people who created the sun god and spread it around the world...The Arians were R1a people. So Su is the root name of the sun words in R1a languages....

    There's just so much heavy reading in your vinca thread- lots of it very interesting of course. You must be joking that I read it all. Anyway I don't want to argue with your main theory.

    Goban Saor = Smith Best
    Goibniu = Smith god

    Irish mythological characters related to metalwork, whose names have root in Serbian, because Serbian is the only language where kov means metal.

    eh nope. Latin Faber is cognate with Proto-Celtic *goban likewise for Lithuanian gabus. The word has it's root in Proto-Indo-European and not in Serbian.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,284 ✭✭✭dubhthach



    Which is exactly what i claim. R1a in India are the invaders from Europe.



    Lighten up. I like name Arbin. It is poetic and funny. As I told you already. Ria-n Rib-n. See! Funny :). But you are too serious. You see this as a war not as scientific discussion. You seem to be in it to prove the greatness of R1b race because this will make you feel better about yourself. You are looking at this from a racist point of view. Is this why you asked me which haplogroup I was? So you can accuse me of being biased?
    But I am not surprised by this any more. I see that all the time all over the world. People like to believe that they are descendants of mighty races. It makes them feel better about themselves and about the fact that they are themselves really insignificant, because they have nothing to show for themselves. So instead of discovering something important, building something important, doing something important, which would make them important, they spend all their energy bragging about their important ancestors....

    But as much as we like doing it, we can not take credits for what our ancestors did. We are born who we are by chance.

    European Haplogroup R1a1 belongs to a seperate subclade to South-Asian R1a1a. Specifically It either belongs to R1a1-Z283 (R1a1a1b1). In comparison this subclade isn't found in either Iran or India, where R1a1-Z93 (R1a1a1b2) dominate.

    The two subclades share a common ancestor in the form of R1a1-Z647 (R1a1a1b). The bifurcation of this clade in two probably occurred in either central-asia or on the pontic steppe. Not one scientific study has shown European clades of R1a1 in India/Iran.

    I asked you what haplogroup you are for the point of disclosure. I've no problem with saying the following:
    • My Y-Chromosome haplogroup is: R1b1a2a1a2c1i (R1b-DF41)
    • R1b-DF41 is a subclade of R1b-DF13, DF13 makes up about 90% of all R1b-L21+ men.
    • I am a administrator of the Ireland yDNA Project in FTDNA with over 5k members
    • I am the administrator of the R-DF41 & Subclades Project in FTDNA
    • I've tested to 111 STR's as well as tested multiple SNP's so as to place R1b-DF41 on the ISOGG R tree
    • I've also tested Autosomal DNA in the form of 23andme
    • I'm in the process of awaiting my results on a Full Y-Chromosome scan (20-25 million megabases) which cost me about €1,200

    The only person bringing race into is you. You seem to fail to reaslise that a haplogroup such as R1b-DF41 or say R1a1-Z93 originate in one man. All men carrying a specific SNP are thus direct male line descendants of one man. Do you really think that when the first man born carrying say R1a1-Z93 was conceived by immaculate conception? He was born into a grouping that consisted of many other men. The concept that they all belonged to the one haplogroup is farcial to be honest. Likewise your division of lineages into so call "races" seems to belay your own racialist view of the world.

    What's probable is that Proto-Indo-Europeans consisted of multiple haplogroups, for example certain clades of Haplogroup J2. This probably reflects an acculturation process that happened in the ancient middle-east.

    If anything from the ancient-DNA we know that R1a and R1b men were often co-travellers. There's the evidence of this from Germany. Of course given that the two lineages share common ancestor in the form of R1* it's hardly surprising that they inhabited the same general neck of the woods before expanding outwards.

    This remarkably unlikely and unconvincing theory would require remarkable proof in order to convince even the gullible I'm afraid.

    Pamphleteering vast amount of fabulous imagination does not make that information truthful. It's just spamming.

    This belongs to the " science fiction double feature doctor x will build a creature" forum I'm afraid.

    Good morning
    The only person bringing race into is you. You seem to fail to realise that a haplogroup such as R1b-DF41 or say R1a1-Z93 originate in one man. All men carrying a specific SNP are thus direct male line descendants of one man. Do you really think that when the first man born carrying say R1a1-Z93 was conceived by immaculate conception? He was born into a grouping that consisted of many other men. The concept that they all belonged to the one haplogroup is farcial to be honest.

    Why is this farcical? All the people from the same tribe belonged to the same patrilinear tree.

    I believe that genetic mutations are not random, but that they are environmentally influenced. Tribe with gene group A splits. One part goes to Ireland where environmental influences trigger epigenetic changes which eventually trigger genetic changes and that A subgroup becomes A1. The other half goes to Africa and becomes A2. Not all of them, the ones with particular genetic affinity to particular genetic changes. It seems that new epigenetic research is proving this to be correct. Still early to tell though.

    I am talking about families not races. Families carry languages and cultures. Families mix with other families and form mixed cultures and languages. I thought that the picture I posted made this clear. R split into R1a and R1b. Not all went opposite way. Some stayed together, some later mixed. But cultural and linguistic split between R1a families and R1b families does exist and can not be ignored. This does not make either better or worse. It just means they had different historical experiences which made them genetically different and culturally and linguistically different.
    Latin Faber is cognate with Proto-Celtic *goban likewise for Lithuanian gabus

    What do these words mean, and what root are they based on in those languages? Word for metalworker or smith god should be based on word for metal.

    We don't have smith god in Serbian culture. This shows that Serbians have lost this cultural memory. But Serbian language has preserved words for metal and metal work based on word kov. Did Latin, Irish, Lithuanian preserve these words as well? Who are people who invented metalwork? Look at the picture i posted. Their language must have survived in some today's languages. It happened that the words were preserved in Serbian, probably because Vincan people spoke a language which was a building block of Serbian. Considering that the only genetic group present in Serbian genes which is rare in other parts of Europe is I2 i believe that Vincans were I2. But I could be that they were R1b, R1a or J or G2...This is still work in progress...

    Thankfully Ezra not everyone thinks like you. As I told you before unless you have something to actually contribute, some fact that I forgot to mention, example where I was wrong and proof why I am wrong, you can go and play somewhere else. No one is asking you to hang around here. Repeating "I don't like this" without any counter argument helps no one and is frankly boring.

    No. Your theory has been completely discredited. Until you can provide convincing proof then it belongs to the alien crop markings variety of science.

    You can't just keep making multiple threads on the same topic in order to gain accreditation. It doesn't work.

    My opinion that your theory is spoof and fantasy is not only the most common response to your threads, it is also the response of people who have authority on the subject matter.


    Here is several pages of linguists debuffing your buff:

    I have done this several times. Unfortunately arguing with you is fruitless because your theory is fantasy based and make it up as you go along. For this reason rational and factual challenges just get responses of more and more guff and it just goes on and on.

    As many in the linguistic forum I linked have pointed out the burden of proof is on you to convincingly prove your theory, not on me to disprove it because linguistics history and archaeology all point to a completely different explanation of factual reality.

    As they said many times you have no method, a flawed understanding of comparative linguistics, a flawed understanding of Irish language, a flawed logic, and worst of all, your evidence is principally nonsense.

    Ezra
    You can't just keep making multiple threads on the same topic in order to gain accreditation. It doesn't work.

    I didn't. Moderators made this thread from my discussion on achaeoastronomy.

    You said this first:
    There's just so much heavy reading in your vinca thread- lots of it very interesting of course. You must be joking that I read it all.

    And then this:
    My opinion that your theory is spoof and fantasy is not only the most common response to your threads, it is also the response of people who have authority on the subject matter.

    So you have concluded that my theory is spoof and fantasy even though you never bothered reading what I write? Your attitude is typical for religious zealots,
    Here is several pages of linguists debuffing your buff:

    You are so sad Ezra. I went to that board, because I wanted to discuss my linguistic ideas with linguists. It turned out the guys on the board have the same attitude as you. They could not be bothered reading what I write but are know I am wrong. And these people admitted themselves that they are not authority. They actually told me that i should take my idea to some respected linguist, and if he agrees, they will reconsider their position. All that after telling me that they couldn't even bother reading my work, because they are too busy. Exactly like you.

    You see Ezra, my Vinca thread is my main thread, where I post things I am pretty sure about. I use other threads on this board, and other boards to discuss things that I am not sure about. I am actually planning to publish pretty much everything from the above linguistic thread to my vinca thread. But thank you for posting the link. Now everyone can see what kind of linguists you take as authorities.

    I've no problem with saying the following:
    My Y-Chromosome haplogroup is: R1b1a2a1a2c1i (R1b-DF41)
    R1b-DF41 is a subclade of R1b-DF13, DF13 makes up about 90% of all R1b-L21+ men.

    I'm in the process of awaiting my results on a Full Y-Chromosome scan (20-25 million megabases) which cost me about €1,200

    Does this make you feel better about yourself? Are you proud of something as random as your genetic code? I see the same attitude in Serbia, where people dismiss anyone who is not R1a or I2a as not being real Serbian. This is insane. Do you consider Irish people who are not R1b not real Irish? Or lesser Irish?

    I believe that genetic genealogy is important tool that we can use to help us understand the past. Full stop. Anything beyond that is racism and insanity. This is why I will never go and have my genetic test done. I don't want to be influenced by it.

    I watched Ireland France rugby match yesterday. I was on the edge of my chair, I had knots in my stomach. I wanted Ireland to win. I have been living in Ireland for last 20 years, my fire is Irish, I have an Irish passport. Does this experience make me Irish? Or do my genes make me Irish?

    Does this make you feel better about yourself? Are you proud of something as random as your genetic code? I see the same attitude in Serbia, where people dismiss anyone who is not R1a or I2a as not being real Serbian. This is insane. Do you consider Irish people who are not R1b not real Irish? Or lesser Irish?

    I believe that genetic genealogy is important tool that we can use to help us understand the past. Full stop. Anything beyond that is racism and insanity. This is why I will never go and have my genetic test done. I don't want to be influenced by it.

    I watched Ireland France rugby match yesterday. I was on the edge of my chair, I had knots in my stomach. I wanted Ireland to win. I have been living in Ireland for last 20 years, my fire is Irish, I have an Irish passport. Does this experience make me Irish? Or do my genes make me Irish?

    And where did I claim any such thing? You keep making outlandish claims about Haplogroups -- "Arbins", I2 connected to metal, the supposed truth of R1a1 been the only one Indo-European haplogroup etc. Let you fail to put your money where your mouth is.

    When your claims are contested you claim that those doing it are racists, based solely on their Y-Chromosome lineage? The only person bringing such a nebulous concept of race into this is you. That's absolutely ridiculous. My father-in-law probably belongs to Haplogroup O, he's Filipino after all, but hey don't let that get in your illogical way.

    By the way R1b-DF41 is found in Welsh, Manx and Scottish lineages after all it's about 2,000 years old as lineages go. For example the Royal House of Stewart belongs to a subclade of R1b-DF41 defined by SNP L744. So going by your twisted logic surely if I was to identify my entire image based on my Y-Chromosome then I should be a devout royalist to the cause of my Jacobite near relatives? (if you could call 1,500+ years "near") puh-lease pull another one.

    Given that my Y is only one line of descent (Of my 8 great-grandfathers I only carry the Y of one) I very much doubt that I don't have ancestors who were Haplogroup I2, E, J2 heck even R1a1. Though of course in North-West European context R1a1 is either the basal R1a1-CTS4385 (only found in North-West Europea populations) or perhaps R1a1-L448 (associated with Scandinavia and Vikings, with subclade specific to Scotland).

    So what does my Y tell me, it tell's me of inter-connectedness across Eurasia. From a 24,000 year old boy who lived in Southern Siberia and was R* (and who other then his Y was more closely related to East Asian's and Native American's then me). To the fact that Paragroup P (the parent of R* and Q* -- which consists of most Native American men --) probably arose in Oceania/South East Asia and then spread northbound into eastern Eurasia before spreading west.

    Been married to a filipina I can see the irony in the fact that through my Y I have direct descent from a man living in that part of the world 30k+ years ago.

    I wanted to see who I am dealing with. You seem pretty serious about your R1b genes. Someone who writes something like this:
    I've no problem with saying the following:
    My Y-Chromosome haplogroup is: R1b1a2a1a2c1i (R1b-DF41)
    R1b-DF41 is a subclade of R1b-DF13, DF13 makes up about 90% of all R1b-L21+ men.
    I am a administrator of the Ireland yDNA Project in FTDNA with over 5k members
    I am the administrator of the R-DF41 & Subclades Project in FTDNA
    I've tested to 111 STR's as well as tested multiple SNP's so as to place R1b-DF41 on the ISOGG R tree
    I've also tested Autosomal DNA in the form of 23andme
    I'm in the process of awaiting my results on a Full Y-Chromosome scan (20-25 million megabases) which cost me about €1,200

    Is pretty serious. Why? Are you a geneticist? If not, why are you so obsessed with your genes?

    You seem to get personally offended when I dare to question the role R1b played in Europe in last 10,000 years. And it is statements like this next one that confirm to me that you connect race, genes and politics.
    So going by your twisted logic surely if I was to identify my entire image based on my Y-Chromosome then I should be a devout royalist to the cause of my Jacobite near relatives?

    My stance on genetic genealogy is this:
    I believe that genetic genealogy is important tool that we can use to help us understand the past. Full stop. Anything beyond that is racism and insanity.

    Which part of this did you not understand?

    My twisted logic states:
    Nuclear family was the place where original language was created. This is also the place where language is learned.
    As family grows, nuclear family becomes extended family, then clan, then tribe, then nation. All along the same language is used between members of the members of this growing family to keep communication going. Family is preserved through communication and cooperation and for that you need a common language.
    If all these people are linked genetically, through father to son inheritance, I believe that we can talk about genetic languages. R1a languages, R1b languages, I2a languages...As genetic tribes mix, genetic languages mix...If genetic tribes disappear genetic language might disappear as well, unless it was passed onto in full or in part to some other genetic tribe. Today's languages are evolved mix of old languages. This is why we can find ancient language structures and words in modern languages. Serbian language is a mix of R1a, I2a, E1b, R1b...languages. Irish language is a mix of R1b, I2a, I1, R1a...languages. But Russian is a mix of R1a and N languages. Spanish is a mix of R1b, E1b...languages. Basque is pretty much pure R1b language. This is why we can find certain linguistic traits in Serbian and Irish but not in other Slavic languages or Atlantic (or as you know them Celtic) languages. Because both Serbian and Irish share I2a language traits not present in say Welsh. This is why certain words are found in some Germanic and Slavic languages but not in French or other Germanic languages. Because the languages who have these common characteristics share common R1a language...

    You might also know that I wrote this on Vinca thread:
    I am aware of the work of both Jovan Deretic and Anatolii Klesov. They both point at very important fact that in Serbia we have unbroken cultural, linguistic and genetic continuity through R1a population, lasting at least 12,000 years. This is why we can use Serbian language and culture to answer some of the oldest cultural and linguistic questions that are still unanswered. But Serbians are a mix. We have pretty much every old Y haplogroup present in Serbia in significant numbers. Most importantly we have huge I2a population which is probably indigenous to the Balkans, and which has also preserved their own culture and language and have added it to the mix which is today Serbian culture and Language. We also have large old R1b population in Eastern Serbia which has also added their culture and language to the Serbian mix.


    This is why I have a problem with things like: "Serbian gene is 12,000 years old and comes from the son of Noah".

    Firstly what does Noah have to do with any of this? Second, this statement implies that Serbs are R1a population, which they are, but only partially. If Serbs were pure R1a race, then Serbian language and culture would not have been so interesting. It is the fact that Serbs are such a mix of races, and that Serbian culture and language are such a mix of cultures and languages, which makes Serbian (Croatian, Bosnian) language and culture almost like a living cultural Roseta stone. People in Serbia, preserved some of the oldest cultural and linguistic traits which have been lost in other parts of Eurasia populated by R1a, R1b and I2 people. We have the same situation in Irish culture and language. It also hides some of the oldest I2a, R1a, R1b cultural and linguistic layers still existing in the world. This is why when we cross reference Irish and Serbian culture and language we come up with almost like a code which we can use to decipher things from these ancient cultures.

    Your "not twisted" straight logic connects genes and politics. This is your problem. You can not see facts as facts. You seem to see them as threats to the cultural and political position of the genetic group you belong to. This is clearly visible from the fact that you are still talking about "Arbins". What is your problem with term Arbin? Do you find it offensive? Why? Are you the only Irish person with no sense of humor?

    You say that I keep making outlandish claims about Haplogroups, like that I2 connected to metal.

    Vincans invented metal in the Balkans. For thousands of years they were the only ones who new how to make metal. Do you think that they would not have words for metal and metal production elements? Now look at European metal related words. A lot of them have their roots in Serbian words for metal and metal related activities? Even word metal comes from that language and its original meaning is preserved in Serbian:
    From Middle English, from Old French metal (“metal”), from Latin metallum (“metal, mine, quarry, mineral”), from Ancient Greek μέταλλον (métallon, “mine, quarry, metal”), from μέταλλευειν (métalleuein, “to mine, quarry”), of unknown origin, but apparently related to μέταλλαν (métallan, “to seek after”), also of unknown origin.

    http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/metal

    So we don't know where the word comes from. Now look at Serbian.

    Med - middle
    Medju - in the middle

    http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Proto-Indo-European/m%C3%A9d%CA%B0yos#Proto-Indo-European

    Med - honey, something which is in between the honey comb.
    Med - brass, bronze, alloy, something which is "med", between two metals.

    Metal = Med + dal = what gave brass, bronze

    Kal, Kalj - black, dirt
    Kalaijsan - black, dirty
    Kaliti - harden metal. Copper is hardened by addition, dirtying of copper with tin. Kaliti literally means dirtying.
    Kalaj - tin, literally to dirt with

    Kal - black, dirt, coal
    Ugalj, Ukal - into black, dirt, describes production of charcoal used for copper smelting in Vinca.

    I already gave you example of kov. How is it possible that these words survived in Serbian? Why not in German, French, Russian, Irish? Because Serbian happen to be descendants of I2a population. So they preserved these words from I2a language as well. This is most plausible explanation.

    Vincans were a tribal union. They had unique culture, and writing. So they must have had unique language. I don't claim that all Vincans were I2a. I claim that their language belonged to I2a language group, meaning language group originally developed and spoken by the immediate ancestors of the first I2a person. But maybe I am wrong. If you have any better explanation please elaborate it.

    You also say that my claim that R1a1 is the only one Indo-European haplogroup is ridiculous. I don't think they are the only Indoeuropean haplogroup. I believe that they were the Proto Indo Europeans. Look at ancient DNA from Germany to China. And the present one. They are predominantly R1a. These Proto Indo Europeans mixed with other genetic tribes, like R1b, I2a, E1b, G2, J, Q... and formed many Indoeuropean cultures and languages.

    I need to emphasize something here. When I say genetic tribe, I mean that particular genetic paternal lineage, clan had dominance in that tribe. Like Irish and R1b, or Russians and R1a, Or Serbocroatians and I2a. These tribes could have been, and probably were already mixed genetically before the 3rd millennium bc, but the dominant family would have been the carrier of the culture and language. I don't see the problem with this.

    You also say: "Let you fail to put your money where your mouth is." What exactly do you mean by this?
    So what does my Y tell me, it tell's me of inter-connectedness across Eurasia. From a 24,000 year old boy who lived in Southern Siberia and was R* (and who other then his Y was more closely related to East Asian's and Native American's then me). To the fact that Paragroup P (the parent of R* and Q* -- which consists of most Native American men --) probably arose in Oceania/South East Asia and then spread northbound into eastern Eurasia before spreading west.

    No one disputes inter-connectedness. But inter-connectedness is not stemming from everyone coming from the same Indoeuropean tribe. Inter-connectedness stems from actual mixing of different tribes.

    This group P is interesting. The oldest known polished stone tools are from Hinatabayashi B site, Shinanomachi, Nagano. Pre-Jōmon (Paleolithic) period, 30,000 BC. They then spread northward to Siberia and then eastward to Europe. They are extremely important, because they herald the start of the Neolithic which eventually gave us Vinca and metal. No axes, no wood, no charcoal, no copper.
    Skeletal characteristics point to many similarities with other aboriginal people of the Asian continent. Dental structures belong to the Sundadont group, mainly distributed in ancient populations of South-East Asia (where current populations belong to the Sinodont group). Skull features tend to be stronger, with comparatively recessed eyes.
    The aboriginal populations of the Ainu, today mostly confined to the northern island of Hokkaidō, appear to be the descendants of these Paleolithic populations, and display features that have, in the past, been interpreted as Caucasoid, but today tend to be considered more generally as part of that early Paleolithic human stock.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Paleolithic
    Genetic testing has shown them to belong mainly to Y-haplogroup D-M55.[48] Y-DNA haplogroup D2 is found frequently throughout the Japanese Archipelago including Okinawa. The only places outside of Japan in which Y-haplogroup D is common are Tibet and the Andaman Islands in the Indian Ocean.[49]

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ainu_people

    Like haplogroup C, D-M174 is believed to represent the Great Coastal Migration along southern Asia, from Arabia to Southeast Asia and thence northward to populate East Asia. It is found today at high frequency among populations in Tibet, the Japanese Archipelago, and the Andaman Islands, though curiously not in India. The Ainu of Japan are notable for possessing almost exclusively Haplogroup D-M174 chromosomes, although Haplogroup C-M217 chromosomes also have been found in 15% (3/20) of sampled Ainu males. Haplogroup D-M174 chromosomes are also found at low to moderate frequencies among populations of Central Asia and northern East Asia as well as the Han and Miao–Yao peoples of China and among several minority populations of Sichuan and Yunnan that speak Tibeto-Burman languages and reside in close proximity to the Tibetans.[4]
    Unlike haplogroup C-M217, Haplogroup D-M174 is not found in the New World; it is not present in any modern Native American (North, Central or South) populations. While it is possible that it traveled to the New World like Haplogroup C-M217, those lineages apparently became extinct.
    Haplogroup D-M174 is also remarkable for its rather extreme geographic differentiation, with a distinct subset of Haplogroup D-M174 chromosomes being found exclusively in each of the populations that contains a large percentage of individuals whose Y-chromosomes belong to Haplogroup D-M174: Haplogroup D-M15 among the Tibetans (as well as among the mainland East Asian populations that display very low frequencies of Haplogroup D-M174 Y-chromosomes), Haplogroup D-M55 among the various populations of the Japanese Archipelago, Haplogroup D-P99 among the inhabitants of Tibet, Tajikistan and other parts of mountainous southern Central Asia, and paragroup D-M174 without tested positive subclades (probably another monophyletic branch of Haplogroup D) among the Andaman Islanders. Another type (or types) of paragroup D-M174 without tested positive subclades is found at a very low frequency among the Turkic and Mongolic populations of Central Asia, amounting to no more than 1% in total. This apparently ancient diversification of Haplogroup D-M174 suggests that it may perhaps be better characterized as a "super-haplogroup" or "macro-haplogroup." In one study, the frequency of Haplogroup D-M174 without tested positive subclades found among Thais was 10%.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_D-M174

    Somehow the D people seem to have transferred their stone polishing technology to Siberia.
    In Siberia the oldest ground axes date to 20,000 bp
    in the valley of Yenisei (Oda & Keally 1973, 19, cited
    by Anderson & Summerhayes 2008, 49).

    The first ground-edge axes are found at the
    beginning of the Mesolithic in Ireland, such as at
    Lough Boora (Co. Offaly), in habitation levels dated
    to 7160–6260 bc.

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=88747210&postcount=222

    Who could have picked up this knowledge in Siberia from D people? R* people. They eventually brought the technology to Europe. But which R* people dominate Forest areas of Siberia? R1a. Which ancient R* subclade was found from China to the Balkans? Which R* people were renowned for their carpentry skills, their fire making skills, their fort building skills even in early medieval time? R1a people. Without stone axe polishing technology, there would be no Vinca. So Vincans could have been R1a as well as I2. Maybe a mix? Maybe kljusov is right, that the Balkan R1a is the oldest in Europe. :)

    I wanted to see who I am dealing with. You seem pretty serious about your R1b genes.

    See there's your problem there, ye talking out of your arse which appears to be usual form for you. There is no "gene" connected to any Y-Chromosome haplogroup. They are not genes. They are SNP's (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism). They have absolutely no bearing when it comes to the function of genes (that is encoding of proteins)

    Leaving aside that R1b wasn't even in Europe 10,000 years ago so I don't see the relevance of your point. The clear and precise data from both scientific study (of present and ancient samples) and from testing databases is that R1b is intrusive in Europe just as R1a is. Both having arrived no early then the Bronze age.

    I think it's fairly obviously from the line you quoted that I don't associate race, politics and genes. OF course you probably wouldn't recognise a rhetorical question if it hit you in the face.

    The most basal R1a in Europe of course is actually found in the northwest, and not in Balkans where it's clearly intrusive and probably dates to period after the fall of the Roman Empire. Which is born out by the lack of upstream clades of R1a in the area.

    You can give lectures to someone else. You know what I mean and everyone else knows what I mean. But if you have no better argument...

    This is possible. What is the oldest ancient Y chromosome discovered so far? Isn't there a time barrier after which it is impossible to do the analysis because the genetic material is too damaged? What is the oldest ancient Y dna sample that was analyzed successfully?
    What about Corded ware culture? It is in Central Europe and it is a mixture of I, R1a and G. What about cultures which burned their dead? What about Vinca skeletons? Did anyone do genetic analysis on them, or on Lepenski vir skeletons?

    You can not conclusively say who lived in Europe in the 5th millennium bc, at the time of Vinca culture, unless you have analyzed dna samples which can prove it.
    I think it's fairly obviously from the line you quoted that I don't associate race, politics and genes.

    Good.

    This actually does not have to be true. First, we don't know who lived in the Balkans 5000 years ago. We know who lives there now. Even if you only use today's data, you can not exclude the possibility that R1a in north of Europe came from the Balkans or from China for that matter. People move. But we have archaeological evidence that people colonized the north of Europe after the last ice age from the Balkans. Also the farmers moved through the Balkans to the north. Metal was brought from the Balkans to the north as well. Someone had to do it, and that someone brought their genes with them as well. The same people could have moved down south from the north later. We don't know who any of these people were genetically. We simply have no data to prove it. We are all speculating. I am basing my speculation on the link between the archaeological and linguistic data with current and ancient genetic data. What are you basing your speculation on?

    Also there is no need to be so aggressive. I am not your enemy you know.
