Post: RE: How are Germans 10% Armenian?

Are those North Germans or South Germans? Why model with Swedes? Don't forget, Bell Beaker had quite some influence as well, and those might be modelled as CWC + some additional EEF.

Post: RE: U152 News/Updates

It remains interesting how "recent" U152 is in Great Britain; several ancients from the Iron Age, but from before 500 BC not so much! A contrast with DF27 (and of course L21).
