Cro Magnons And The Genetic Legacy Of Europe

Brief info on Cro Magnons: https://www.britannica.com/topic/Cro-Magnon Europeans lost a high amount of their pre historic genetics/ancestral components (Neanderthal, Cro Magnon, other archaic admixtures), after mixing with Neolithic farmers and other migratory peoples: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-36150502 Some smart polish guy discussing the genetic contributions of Cro Magnon specimens, you can trust him: https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/141130616/#141188929 https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/141130616/#141186505 Here's some reconstructions of Cro Magnons and other archaic specimens: https://www.livescience.com/64620-ancient-britons-facial-reconstruction.html https://www.deviantart.com/philipedwin/art/Cro-magnon-861314699

Kostenki - 14

Kostenki 14 or K 14, was a short dark featured man, alive approximately 36'000 years ago, who died along the Middle Don River, in Kostenki - Borshchevo, Russia. Hence his name Kostenki. Had 1% more Neanderthal DNA, compared to modern populations, and was genetically related to South Asians. Specifically Pakistanis, and maybe Afghans as well, clustered amongst them on genetic/PCA tests. Suggesting he had Basal Eurasian, and Australoid, really Indian/Veddoid heritage. "Australoid" for your information, is an umbrella term encompassing South Asians, Papuans, Australian Aborigines, and other groups in the Pacific region. Who are all linked by a common migration wave out of Africa, and ancestral descent from similar populations. Kostenki 14 is considered to be one of the founding ancestors of modern Europeans.
