- ch4s3 3y agoThe comment you're replying to is talking about Western Hunter Gatherers[1] who were mostly displaced later by farmers from Anatolia. Outside of the Eastern Baltic states WHG ancestry is pretty rare. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Hunter-Gatherer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Hunter-Gatherer
- ztrww 3y agoI’m not sure that’s true. The N haplogroup is indeed mainly only extant in the Baltic States, Finland and northern Scandinavia but they are more likely to be descendants of Eastern Hunter-Gatherers rather than West European ones. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Hunter-Gatherer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Hunter-Gatherer
