I updated this topic about Szolt Simon citing Dönmez "paper" about Triangle ware
I updated this topic about Szolt Simon citing Dönmez "paper" about Triangle ware. It seems Dönmez made unscientific claims, which are quite sadly referenced by Simon.

We have 12 new Kur-Araxian samples from RoA.
We have 12 new Kur-Araxian samples from RoA. Three Y DNA are published from Berkaber (~2500bc) All are J1-Z1842 which was also found in previous works in Daghestan. Another J1-Z1842 was found in MBA Hasanlu (2000bc). And finally we have another Z1842 from Arslantepe EBA shifted to east which confirms that Z1842 was an important Kur-Araxian Y DNA. The age of this branch is consistent with Kur-Araxian expansion.

Can all modern Armenian ancestry derive just from one Iron Age population inside Armenia?
Can all modern Armenian ancestry derive just from one Iron Age population inside Armenia? No. Should it be the case Armenian Y dna structure would be very drifted. With young clusters that erased everything else that preceded them. But there is no such a thing in Armenian Y dna structure. Quite contrary it is one of the most diverse in West Asia. Even more diverse than in Caucasians who have very drifted bottlenecked Y dna.
