>>17987755>because haplogroup dont really mean shit desu>think of it as a family name that get inhereted to the male offspringI know. I already said as much in the thread. That's why I posted a picture indicating both Estonia and Finland are mostly Indo-European; they just aren't necessarily the most Indo-European in all of Europe (depending on how you define "Indo-European").
>meanwhile finnland and estonia are one of the closest ethnic to yamnaya and its second gen descendant cultures like catacomb early corded ware andronovo sintashtaNot immediately apparent to me. Please forgive me for having amateurish takes on this. I'm not trying to say Finland and Estonia aren't "white" because they certainly meet an *intuitive* definition of that. I'm also not trying to disparage them for their ancestry. I simply understand that they are ethnically unique and I want to describe their ethnicity as accurately as possible. The Siberian haplogroup indicates there was a Siberian contribution to their ancestry but not that Siberians totally replaced their DNA.
I also don't entirely understand the R1b vs R1a divide other than it appears to roughly correspond to west vs east Indo-Europeans. I don't know if that has implications for one group being more "authentically Indo-European" than another.
