Hungary in the Middle Ages wasn’t as ‘genetically pure’ as Viktor Orban makes out modern Hungarians to be. The reality is that human populations have always been mixing with their neighbors. After a long enough period of isolation, a more or less homogenous population will result from the ancestors of the different groups that mixed. The proportion of each ancestral component can range across individuals but the averages are determined by the relative size of each ancestral population and their genetic fitness. Men within the ancestral population have greater variation in genetic fitness than women because a woman cannot give birth to more than one child every 9 months (except in cases of twins or triplets, historically 1 in 60 and 1 in 8000 births respectively). I also think that for men, since at least the advent of more pronounced social hierarchy that we see in some Bronze Age societies, the number of children a man of higher social standing can have relative to a man of lower social standing can be more extreme of a ratio than for women.

Geographic Code Added for AH2 – Oldest Ancient J2b Sample

This is the first update for which AH2 (ERS1186317 on YFull), the 10,000 year old sample from Tepe Abdul Hosein has a geographic code. This ancient sample has been on the YFull tree for over a year but I only recently noticed that it lacked a geographic code. It now has the country code for Iran and regional code for Lorestan.

If you see an ancient sample that is missing a geographic code or you believe has the wrong geographic code, you can contact the YFull team by email order@yfull.com.

Yozgat Province in Central Turkey

I was surprised to find a rather large province of Turkey represented for the first time. Yozgat has an area of 13,690 km2. Because this is larger than 10,000 km2, for HRAS maps the samples from Yozgat have a radius of 1.17 times the selected minimum radius. Unfortunately there is no love for Yozgat Province on Wikipedia. The article is one of the shortest I have ever seen.

One half of a percent of the population of Turkey live in Yozgat.
