Ancient DNA from Chalcolithic Israel - Harney et al 2018

Notice no male , J1 or J2 nor R1b-V88 or R1b-M269. The genetic profile is Southern East Africa...specifically Tanzania

Notice also. No Cluster Charts were generated or shown for this dataset. They mentioned light skin and Blue eyes

But we need to do our own analysis.

1. They restricted the samples to only 22 individuals out of 48.
2. The individuals had blue eyes and white skin according to DNA. My guess is this population do not exist today in the Levant???
3. No comparison was shown with Modern populations. Odd!!?
4. Data is available for download…for independent analysis
5. Really interesting is the modern “Jewish” linage is not present. J1 and J2 is completely absent. I would have assumed they got at least lineage for all 44 samples.
6. They are not going to make the same mistake twice by showing Cluster Charts. They screwed up with the Abusir paper. Deflecting towards the red(YRI?) component when the brown component clearly showed African ancestry as far down as southern Africa but Absolute no relation between the Abusir and the British and French northern Europeans.

Quotes:
“It has been estimated that the burial cave contained up to 600 individuals,, making it the largest burial site ever identified from the Late Chalcolithic period in the Levant. Direct radiocarbon dating suggests that the cave was in use throughout the Late Chalcolithic (4500–3900 BCE), functioning as a central burial location for the region21


We also restricted to individuals with at least 5000 of the targeted SNPs covered at least once.


This procedure produced genome-wide data from 22 ancient individuals from Peqi’in Cave (4500–3900 calBCE), with the individuals having a median of 358,313 of the targeted
SNPs covered at least once (range: 25,171–1,002,682). The

Data availability. The aligned sequences are available through the European Nucleotide Archive under accession number PRJEB27215. Genotype datasets used in analysis are available at reich.hms.harvard.edu/datasets.

Are they running scared with cluster charts now? They have screwed so many times. Now it is outright lies and mis-direction and omitting of data
