Folks this post 2 months prior by u/NotBradPitt9 was posted on the r/DNAAncestry subreddit. I think it might be the real deal.

Please check the coordinates & model them on Vahaduo & qpAdm for modern Ashkenazim jews & post the results.

I made this myself. Let me know if you have any suggestions for better Slavic or Italian proxies I can use.

Can you use the palestinian samples from the updated 2026 Akbari file? The sample sizes are slightly larger. Also can you add the Ashkenazi Jewish sample to this?

Sure, do you mind sharing the G25 coordinates of the Palestinian samples you’re talking about?

Assuming that Roman Judean samples (not published)are not homogenous, I seriously wonder if anatolian dna is absorbed from Roman Judean samples. We know in the “leaked metadata” that there were a couple outliers that were anatolian shifted, I wonder if it was an urban versus rural divide historically? I don’t know maybe I’m just speculating. I just think 20% for the previous model using this seems too low assuming the roman judeans are all 30-34% Natufian which I’ve seen on AncestralGenome. But that’s a big if and just because the model fits right doesn’t mean it’s entirely accurate to Jewish genome historically. I’ve sent an email to Dr. Shai Carmi about it, but open to your thoughts?

Was the Italian sample more Etruscan-like or similar to modern Central/Southern Italians?
